I don't know about you guys, but I am not sure about Icardi. He scores between 10 and 20 goals per season. Deeney, Gale or Austin would be cheaper and would score the same amount or maybe more.
20 Jul 2016 15:54:29
Icardi is in my opinion not taking this team forward. Good player but not great. Cheap option again, not the best option. It will probably mean we rely on giroud more than we should be and that's not improving. I do hope its media bs. Apparently he is after a better contract at inter, this could be a way he gets one.

Would prefer Hernandez or Lucas Perez if we're going for cheaper options.
20 Jul 2016 16:48:34
I don't think we have the option of not going for the cheaper option to be fair, the best more expensive players don't want come to us at the moment.

It worries me hearing our fans on here and over social media that we've actually developed a habit of pre judging. Arsene has already failed this season. Xhaka won't be as good as Kante we should've gone for him. Icardi won't be good enough. We should really get behind our boys more.
Remember when we signed welbeck. How our fans reacted? Now we're gutted he's injured. Let's just give our new players a chance yea!
20 Jul 2016 17:17:35
Totally agree guys. Although I can't think of a good 25 plus a season striker that would be availble and want to come to us. If Giroud was playing for somebody else he would be a decent target. Xhaka is quality though.
20 Jul 2016 17:17:38
If you had a fan poll of all over 19 clubs and offered them Kante or Xhaka i'm pretty sure all 19 would choose Kante and why not? The man was unbelievably brilliant in the premier league last season and Xhaka and all other new signings will struggle to match that standard this season, so who wouldn't chose the man that has over a man that might
People say we have already failed this season? What's different this time round to suggest we won't do the same as always?
Danny played how many games last season? He did well in those game but would we swap him for Vardy or Kane? Of course we would.
You can't just expect people to be optimistic about us being competitive without giving them a reasons to feel that way.
Just to say because we're Arsenal fans so we have to think Arsenal will win the league is silly.

Its opinion, OPINOIN, why do people get al upetty and protective, its opinion for gods sake. Take a cold bath and ho and lie down.

Ive had one welsh it's 30 deg here. Lovely. What it like in rainy wales.

Looking at Icardi, on the surface his stats seem pretty identical to Giroud's. However, their main difference is their conversion rate (Icardi's is considerably better) . To give some perspective, based on his conversion rate, with the number of chances Giroud had last season Icardi would have scored roughly 28 goals. He might not be the best option, but he's certainly not a bad one!
20 Jul 2016 21:34:32
Yes kante should of been first choice.
21 Jul 2016 03:23:44
I'd take Xhaka over Kante any day of the week, that lad is going to become a leader in this team.
I think Icardi is a very nice signing too, he's only 22 and already Inter's captain and scored a bunch of goals in a defensive league.
Icardi + 1 more and we can do something.
21 Jul 2016 15:25:11
I wouldn't take Vardy or Kane over that guy, neither would Roy (although that doesn't help my point as Roy is shhh) .
Would be nice to have Kante but when teams like Chelsea are after him, what makes you think any player would pick us? Money? Nope. Trophies? Nope.
