    cunt?
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

I know we should be going for world class players but sometimes a player might be an invaluable addition to the system you play. That’s what I think about someone like Remy. Sure he isn’t a big name but he’d improve us hugely IMO.

    But anyway, the point is all of them named above would put their heads down and give it their all. We can’t say the same about Balotelli. If you look at training pictures you’ll see players doing stretches and warm ups yet Mario just sits there staring into the oblivion. That’s a lack of commitment and the last thing we need, after a failed youth project where we had nothing but uncommitted idiots at our club, is another uncommitted idiot at our club.

    Sanchez and Benzema would come in and instantly improve the squad, I agree. Remy may take a month. Pedro might take half a season to fully convert into a striker and Mandzukic might be similar to Giroud, but if we bought them it would improve us and lead to greater depth.

    We were top for half a season with Giroud up front. I really think those named above would help us sustain a longer run and even help us win it.
    I would be flabbergasted if we managed to land either Sanchez or Benzema. I wouldn't understand why either or them, pursued by clubs who will pay more and offer more silverware, will choose to come to us. Only if it's another last minute buy where they know they are surplus to requirements and nobody else has stumped up the money, like Ozil.

    Pesto? Yes please. Extremely underrated but also seems to be thoroughly committed to Barca and Barca only. I would much prefer we buy a striker to play as a striker rather than converting and playing that game of Russian roulette. Remy would be a smart buy but he picks up too many injuries to be relied upon, we need him and another very good/excellent striker. Top four will be even harder next season - let's not kid on about the title with Wenger in charge - so we can't mess around on players who have to learn a position.
