Pretty much. Holtby, Llorente, KJH and Isco next summer would be awesome. Will never happen as none are shite, french/african and that's pretty much what you have to be to be signed by us. Get them 4 and we are back in business and all 4 would cost less than £20mOriginally Posted by Charlie the Gooner
Huntelaar is a very good striker. You don't score the amount of goals he has (for club and country) if you're average. There's always this perception that certain strikers don't do anything but score but that's not exactly a bad trait to have. We have others who can do the link work so I wouldn't see it as an issue.
It's all a moo point of course because we won't sign him.
Furthermore, if we did, Wenger would probably stick him at right back or some shit
Sell our most creative player. Sounds about rightArsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin, 31, could head back to his old club Zenit St Petersburg in January for £3m.Full story: Metro
I'd rather we sold The Ox.
Huge waste of £12m. He's crap and OxTv is gash.
He is not living up to the stupid hype that just about any young player who shows promise at this Club receives.
Likewise, he is light years away from being gash. At this stage of his career he should be an understudy, but we are so bereft of any reliable talent for him to be understudy to, we transfer hopes onto him that can never be fulfilled at this stage of his career.
We (collectively) did the same with Theo and now when he is starting to be really key to the Club, he is off.
Controversialand I can't say I disagree with you at all. Be prepared for the inevitable backlash from the clueless who think Ox is gods gift
Same was done with Jack and done again more recently following his injury. He's now the saviour of England and the lad has only just started out in his career. People will groan again I suppose but for me it's all about money again. The hangers on have to have "wonderkids" and "new Peles" and all that bullshit so they can sell their TV subscriptions and crappy newspapers and pretend the standard of football hasn't been on a steady plunge. It's all marketing hype and kids are having it pinned to their backs. After all, how can there be 200 wonderkids, every bloody kid mentioned is a wonderkid. What standard are we judging this by? It must be really low.
Ox is clearly an extremely talented footballer possessing a natural though still raw talent. He's playing for a big club (relatively speaking) but he's also a bit unlucky as the club he plays for is in steady decline and lacks a little bit organisation and tactics. He'd do really well at a club like Utd. It's sad to say that but it's also true. He may do well for us too but if the quality of the team continues to decline each year it will be harder for him as more expectation gets heaped on his back. As for Jack, he'll literally have to nail himself to a cross and rise from the dead to deliver what's expected of him now.
Für eure Sicherheit
NQ, I disagree, we have lots of genuine 'wonder kids' at Arsenal.
Unfortunately only in the sense that I often wonder how the kid in question managed to get such a big fucking contract.
You can count on one hand the amount of times Oxlade has really performed for us to the level his hype suggests.
I think even Gervinho has had more good games than him.
