Traoré leaving right. he is pants. Good fucking riddance. Now to Almunia, Chamakh, Arshavin and Squillaci. Then get the right players. he has had all summer to do so but didn't. How frustrating. I very much doubt he will be able to do so in 2 and a half days. Plonker.
Well, potentially yes. In terms of our squad keeping up with Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City we need 7-8 players, at least 4-5 who are top notch. To be considered in a class of our own in 4th we need at least 5-6 players, 3-4 who are top notch. At best we'll get 3 players before the window closes, maybe 1-2 who are top notch. That's enough to keep us in the race for 4th.Originally Posted by Japan Shaking All Over
So whether it's Wenger or another manager, our squad is not good enough to compete at the highest level (unless everyone is available and even then we're not quite there). This window has been completely mismanaged so we'll need some good moves now and January to be in a good position for next summer. That's assuming there's a desire to actually compete at the highest level. Maybe silent stan/the board realises that it's more financially efficient to be mediocre for a few years with a cheaper squad and only put in money when commercial contracts are up for renewal. No idea.
They said on SSN there is some substance to the interest in Alex.
If there's a defender with PL experience on the market it'd be a criminal act for us not to be interested.
Alex-Vermaelen would be a good pairing. Inferior to the ones at Chelsea and Man U but good anyway.
He's better than what we have, but I would have still preferred Cahill.
But given that Alex is going to be cheaper than Cahill, there's no prizes for guessing which one of the two we're interested in.
That sounds depressingly plausible. It could even be they've collectively decided that with Liverpool, City, Chelsea and United splashing the cash, Arsenal simply can't compete for 4th at the moment, and that we therefore should cut back now on the basis that we won't get any CL revenue for the foreseeable future. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea any more. All I know is it's a terrible mess.
It is.
Alex is a good player, maybe a little older than we'd like but beggars can't be choosers, whether it's true or not is another issue...also will he want to come....not so sure...
Well its either that or stay benched at chavs, only worry with Alex is that he is a lil error prone, do we really need another CB like that, if he comes with Cahill then ok.
