Wenger on Sagna & Fabianski: "We have only two players who are out of contract."

Bendtner
Kallstrom
I know those two are on loan, but it's still another 2 members of the current squad that we'll be losing...
You know what this is all about don't you?
Its so when Wenger finally steps down he can perform his own rendition of "I did it my way"
"There were times, times of doubt...where I felt tempted to get my chequebook out"
Llallana, Caulker, Rodriguez and Richards would be excellent additions to the squad. Llallana 20m, Caulker 8m, Richards5m, Rodriguez 10m….would definitely add a bit of depth and quality. Add Draxler, Cassilas and Costa and I think we are sorted.

Hazard to Barca... Cesc to Arsenal... ???

Hazard asked to work for the team instead of standing there admiring himself? Shocker. No wonder he wants out. Cowardly, lazy, shit human being. On the other hand, if Mourinho is a crazed loon in public, just how bad might he be behind the scenes? He sure knows how to identify and root out the flair players though. Oscar is probably on the phone too.

I obviously cannot see Southampton allowing anyone to take them of arguably their best two players (would welcome Llallana)....not sure on Caulker, Richards would be welcome for the price.
Now Costa is interesting, all talk is about Chelsea being in pole position but at 31.5 mil (according to press) surely we should be making a serious push for this guy? Admittedly Chacs could blow us out the water when it came to wages
The Chavs can have Costa. He's a better player than Giroud but not really what we need. Would he get 30 goals a season for us in the EPL?. More likely to get 30 red cards,
Costa is overrated IMO, certainly don't worth £30 million.
somebody put something in my milk
I think Costa would be good for us personally. He's alot faster than Giroud, stronger with the ball, makes direct runs and generally makes himself a cunt to defend against. When defenders defend against Giroud, it's fairly easy.
My perfect striker would be Higuain though. There were reports linking him to Chelsea, but Napoli would probably want atleast £10m more than they paid for him, and I can't see Wenger paying that when he haggled over £27m before.
It becomes easy to defend against Giroud when we have no runners in the side - in those circumstances all you have to do is defend high, which forces him to play to all his weaknesses. When we have guys like Walcott and Ramsey around him though, you have to defend deep, and that plays to Giroud's strengths (he's actually a decent first-time finisher when he gets in the 18 yard box - it's only when he has to run with the ball and then shoot that he seems to run out of steam).
I don't actually think he's as bad as the second half of this season has made him look - he's limited, yes, but I think the problem has been that those limitations have been cruelly exposed because of the injuries to everyone around him (and because he was being run into the ground at the same time). In the first half of the season there was no great problem with him leading the line, when we had guys like Ramsey and Özil fit and fresh, and everything seems to have clicked again the moment they've returned. That's not to say that we shouldn't be trying to find a better CF, because we should, but I'm happy enough to keep Giroud as competition - if we use him right, he can be an asset.
