They have both money and ambitions you know I don't think they're finishing top 4 in a million years. They'll be a Europa League team with 3 pretty big-earners for one place.

Cajun Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Would rather have a centre forward, centre back and right winger before left back anyway, not that I have much hope anyway. Spending £8m on a left back just seems a bit frivolous given our other needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be so, but i think they will offload on of them in the summer. Their focus now is to ensure the squad is strong enough to fight for a CL place. They don't want to be left with 1 LB like some other clubs, and are willing to invest in squad dept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Was funny to see Neil Taylor linked with them lately. Bet when he does leave Swansea it's for a lot more than they turned down in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So he spends £8m on someone? In the summer they'll have 3. Aye, everyone knows it's much better to have one, or none at all unless you have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Aye but 3? All I'm saying is it's very un-Wenger like and comes across as a panic buy to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 He'll probably turn Santos into some utility winger. The Brazilian Eboue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think Arsenal mainly need to buy a new medical staff. To some extent there's bad luck, but that's starting to look like incompetence, especially how much Wilshere's time off the pitch keeps increasing.

Guest Roger Kint Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 He'll probably turn Santos into some utility winger. The Brazilian Eboue. Easier than using him as a comedy LB though, good going forward but defensively shocking whenever i watched him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I just have a hard time picturing Wenger spending money They spend a lot of money. The net spend thing gets exaggerated because they get such high fees (I'm thinking Overmars, Toure, Nasri, etc over the years). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Not that I could see us paying that sort of money but it would certainly complete our full back options. We have other priorities though imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 £8 mil for a LB that has been crap of late. Dont think so..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Enforcer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 World class LB wants to come to us and we're put off by the price of £10m? That's fuck all FFS. Where are people getting this idea from? Pretty conflicting from what a French guy posted on another forum. "L'Équipe claim Arsenal are interested in Aly Cissokho, who would cost around €10m. He's often played quite poorly for Lyon during his time there, and all the OL fans I know seem to hate him." "I guess I should say that he's been better so far this season than last, when he was sort of a disaster, and he's still a relatively young player who showed quite a lot of promise at one point. But, yea, it would be sort of bizarre to see him get such a transfer." If you've seen him play regularly, then fair play, but you'll excuse me for doubting that.

Guest The Enforcer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 By the way, that's not me saying you're all definitely wrong and you're idiots. It's obviously just one person's opinion, but I just found it odd to see people here rating him at the highest quality after reading that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent there's bad luck, but that's starting to look like incompetence, especially how much Wilshere's time off the pitch keeps increasing. Agree but ours has hardly been much better over the years. It does seem better now but still, it has been right up with the worst of them over the last 10 Years IMO. Either that or our medical procedure is complete flawed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Santon wasn't clearly full of confidence before he joined us too right? We knew we were getting a young man battered by the pressure of the San Siro and expectations he was to be the next Maldini? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he did run off crying down the tunnel at inter once after playing poorly, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
