    Ok so your telling me if we should not bother with Hazard or M'Villa because they are in the French league. So who would you buy from other leagus and for whay prices(reasonable).

    No I'm not saying that, and I should have made it clear in my reply. You're right that if there is a top quality player from the French League who could improve the squad, of course we should sign him. The issue is that we're looking for bargain basement signings from the French League, and it's the combination of these two factors that's pissing fans off.

    Maybe, in 3-4 years. Maybe Wenger is preparing to change the style we play and views this new guy (have we actually signed him?) as a utility player much like Park at Utd. Big regret noew we ever let Eduardo go. We've had such shit options up front when RvP is out. Nick is a very average player and that useless turd we brought in last year is just one giant piss take. Would have liked to see a potent striker come in who could score goals for us this season, not some season down the road. Forlan would have been a great signing too given he'd arrive knowing what to expect.

    No he didnt. That's the media making up shit again.

    Wenger said that if they didnt want to sell him for what we offered, then they can keep the player, so he doesnt see why they should be offended by the offer, as they dont loose out as they can still keep the player.

    Adebayor was a 1 in 4 striker at Monaco. He hit 30 goals for us and had a 1 in 2 record during his time with us. There's always a chance, this new guy or some of the others could do something like that. But I'm sure you'll now dismiss Adebayor's record with us as a fluke because he didn't hit the ball cleanly or something.

    Doesn't matter if he cost €3m, if he's the right player, which he could be. We can't be sure atm. Maybe, more money will be spent where it's more desperately needed, such as in midfield and defence.

    You're trying to deal in certainties, saying he "won't do what's most important", but you don't know this for sure.

    Of course, this is all happening stupidly late at the end of the window...

    Yeah but with that Gartside twat believing everything he sees on twitter, any old crap in the media is likely to influence him too.

    If we can get a holding midfielder in who will allow Wilshere and Ramsey to move up the park more, I think Park will be a good addition to the club.

    With respect to his valuation, where are people getting the 3 million pounds and 6 million pound figures from?

    That last line is crucial tbh. Why the fuck have we left it so late? This is what happens when you're obsessed with trying to sign players for as low a price as possible. You try and drag it out till the last day and force the selling clubs' hand. However, this leads to extreme uncertainty at the club and contributes to the sort of dodgy start we've had. It would surely have been better to complete business before the season starts even if it meant paying more for players, because we'd have had a settled side and would have probably taken at least 4 out of 6 points at the start of the season, instead of just one.

    But it seems this club is more obsessed with money than what happens on the pitch

    Sorry, the £6m was referring to Oxlaid-Chamberlain. The €3m for Park is from L'Equipe, Canal+ and I think the BBC have mentioned it too.
