Really…………….?
The headlines and players being bandied about gets more ludicrous by the day and so do the fee’s mentioned.
Arsenal to pay fifty million for this one and sixty five million for that one…. bla bla bla I suppose the headlines are mean’t to sell papers and attract attention but really we have this nonsense year in year out and since when did we ever ‘smash’ transfer records?
Yes we all know we want and need strengthening but the only stories for me that could hold any truth are the ones where the price is reasonable or where a player is about to be out of contract and we try to snap them up on the cheap. Throw in another player for around the thirty million mark and that would be our business done in my opinion.
Like it or not defend it or not we all know Arsenal penny pinch when it comes to transfers and haggling over fee’s…. I still believe players will be leaving us permanently but maybe just maybe we’ll buy in first before we let a few go.
The Subotic stories seem reasonable enough but is he any better than what we have? the Sidibe link also makes sense as he can play either right back or left back and is a good age but would he join to sit on the bench?
We’ve been linked with Draxler for at least twenty seasons, yes from his birth it seems and he’d of been a lot cheaper then to the fee being quoted now but he is an exciting player and would give us width and speed plus he scores a reasonable amount of goals as well but again the fee could be the stumbling block as it was when we were apparently quoted twenty million for him 2 seasons ago.
It’s a daily occurrence of being linked with ten players none of whom will join us but we at least get to wonder…..
Enjoy ya day.
My money is still on Kalou signing over the weekend….!
Draxler is not quick and IMO is not what we need, another very good footballer who comes inside, we need to go back to the philosophy of pace and power otherwise more of tippy tappy shite.
I am currently in France and L”Equipe is running the Sidibe story
Who is Sidibe?
Previously Wenger implied that Draxler was another winger who could be used as a striker
Yep I agree Davey, Draxler another who loves to come inside but he’s pretty quick…!
I’d be way happier with an out and out winger but very few of those around and Arsene just doesnt seem interested in proper wingers.
Bob, media saying it’s agent fed stuff to get Monaco to sort the deal out pronto…!?!?
Evening All.
First game of the season tomorrow U21’s at home to Bournmouth
At Shenly behind closed doors.
Wath, you ever thought about pulling teeth for a living mate ! Dunno how you put up with some of the Herbets on here this week !
If it makes you feel any better I said Ireland wouldn’t win a game this summer and Germany would be European Champions lol !!!
I doff my hat to you my man.
Evening Micko…. I have the patience of a Saint that’s my problem…! I find the herberts amusing seeing as most don’t even realise they are complete doughnuts..! As a mate of mine used to say “moo moo’s”
Hope your good mate and I always said you couldn’t tip shit out of a bucket 😉
Rick, you getting in behind those closed doors 🙂
So Sidibe has signed for Monaco, so the agent bullcrap worked then….
Wath, as usual your about as subtle as lung cancer ! It’s been emotional buddy , I’m counting down the days rico.
Nite Gooners.
Frankly, I think it’s short sighted of Arsenal and the others, pulling out of the EFL Trophy, to me it’s a valuable opportunity for our youngsters, and they won’t get that kind of experience in the FAYC or Academy League… Stupidity imo…
St Wath, you have done a sterling job, it must be a nightmare writing posts whilst supping in the Hawley Arms…
I am in awe… ?
Actually I’m in South London
You know me well Micko… 🙂 Subtle is my middle name mate.
Kev, the HA is a calming influence on me….. trials n tribulations apparently..! Oh well, right where that pint of GG i put down…………..
