It doesn't make sense putting all the eggs in the Vardy basket. Especially because we seem very proactive this window. We seemed to move on from Morata very quickly but are stuck waiting for the other 20% of Vardy. There's plenty of quality options out there, why haven't we moved on to Aubameyang, Lacazette, Lukaku, Batsuyshi, Icardi or Alcacer? Logic would dictate that the reason we haven't moved on from Vardy is because there's no need to as the deal is done.

I think your right, i don't see wenger just waiting for an average / oldish striker that his record shows, he has one good season followed ad one.

People have no idea what's going on. How do you know we are not actively perusing other options. How do you know that we were interested in morata in the first place. It's all paper talk.

The strange thing about this summer is even the tea lady don't know what is going on and my mate who's got a mate who once met Lee Dixon in Dixon's showrooms hasn't heard a word from Lee on Vardy so can offer nothing either :-)

Terribly sorry to upset you so, Sonogo. For some reason i thought the best place to banter about Arsenal rumours would be an Arsenal rumours banter page. My mistake.

It is Outback mate but I just think the Benzema non event all last summer has left people doubtful of everything that's spun out by the media, if the Eds say it's happening or in my experience the BBC page reports something (not gossip round up of all the tabloids collum) its usually happening.
I base this on not once did the Eds or the BBC say we were in talks with or giving a medical to Benzema or Higuain unlike all the other supposed In The Know fantasy football feeders.

Fair point G62. If you actually read what I posted, all i was actually suggesting is that maybe there's no tabloid rumour bonfire burning because there's no fuel, because the Vardy deal is actually done. I have zero knowledge, just applying logic. I listed all those names because we'd be linked to all of them if the rags had a chance. The fact that we're not suggests a deal is done. I'm only speculating, but i figured the Arsenal banter page was the best place to do it. I tried at the dinner table and now my wife isn't talking to me.

G62, I'm pretty sure the BBC reported some commetns from Higuain's dad linking him with us? Could be wrong - it's happened before.

I might try that Outback mate because mine won't shut up:-)
Your theory is as good as anyones mate and maybe your right it is done and dusted, time will tell mate.
I'm just chuffed we're actually trying this summer, of course I want our efforts to reap rewards but it does make a nice change to know Arsene and the club actually accept we have weaknesses and are doing something to address them this time round.
I'm much more optimistic about next season than I was when last season ended.

Perfect I'm sure your right mate as I remember reading something similar at the time and it was most probably on the BBC page but in the main they do tend to report facts rather than fiction on their football page atleast, although I'm totally sceptical of all the BBC and all other media outlets reports of world affairs that unfortunately are proven to be much much less than reliable sources of knowledge and more of propaganda machine.
The press we read is highly fictional the TV we watch much less than honest and the politicians we elect make the othrs look good but we on this page are luckier than most as we have Malaga who by media standards is pretty much reliable on all things :-)

I wasn't upset outback! And there is a rumour page and a banter page but I thought it was discussion on this particular post. Banter implies a certain amount of humour and although that in itself is subjective I didn't even catch a glimmer of humour in your post. And I'm 99% sure of that ðŸ‘ðŸ¿.
11 Jun 2016 14:32:41
99% is a bit high Sanogo mate:-)
12 Jun 2016 00:57:14
Well thank you so much for taking on the under appreciated role of banter police Sonogo. I'm sure this page is much better with you on here dictating what is and what isn't banter. And with your impressive comedy skills, I'm on here cracking up, at least 80% of the time.
12 Jun 2016 07:15:54
Now that's what I call banter. With a bit of gentle poking we eventually got there mate. Welcome to the club ðŸ‘ðŸ¿.
