I said at the time that i would have been suprised to think that xhaka and vardy were wengers plan and only plan. But it was and since then our window has been pretty much thrown into turmoil, trying to get top players at mark down prices and missing out on other targets because of it. don't ask me why but "rigsby" sprung to mind. That will test most of you but not the older and more intelligent.

Agree6 Disagree1

No test for me Steve

I said from the off Xhaka would be our only major signing TFI will again say

" we tried but inflated prices stopped us from dealing, we tried to find a player to suit the Arsenal way "

Of course one thing we can't be totally sure of is, are our methods in the window down to TFI, the board or all?

I suspect mainly the former with the board saying top 4 thanks TFI.

Mate I'm only 33 but rising damp is a classic! Anyway who knows what bloody plans wenger has. To weigh up my view, I was disappointed last year as I have been for years I said the proof of the pudding was how we did last year and that it would be the final straw for me with wenger and it was, but he isn't going anywhere for a year as per the oracle so now we have come into another pre season and I will now reserve judgement until the window is shut, it's the only way Steve and with the best of respect to you, I know you like to be this pages Nostradamus with your fire and brimstone predictions but I won't be getting my knickers in a twist all summer like Henny Penny! I have water parks, the Dorset coast, theme parks and spending time with my loved ones to cram in before the world ends on September the first or when the window closes! Then and only then will I take a fatal dose of heroin and go out like a rock star 🤘🏻.

You never just get Nostradamus you always get the Mayan Callander at the same time . I'm depressed.

I agree With Banbury, I don't believe there are going to be any majors singings just maybe another cheap CB backup option with Mert out for a while.

After the 30 Mil spend on Xhaka Vardy was Wenger's one and only genuine striker transfer target as that was best striker option for the 20 Million approx we had available as surplus cash.

Arsenal will never spend to get into a loss and recent transfer window history tells us we spend around 50mill max per window no more as that is what is available unless player sales are made to boost free funds.

Sure Arsenal will play the game and pretend they are still active in the market by offering sums they ultimatly know will not be enough secure the players just keep the fans onside and to say we tried. If there is to be striker signing it will be max 20-25Mill so you can forget Mahraz and Lacazette will be some unknown and un-tried and tested option that will be no better than what we have.

Yes Miss Jones.

Quality retort. I tip my hat to you sir.

27 Jul 2016 20:30:47
Right I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone here. But Banbury and Steve you seem the most vocal and disapproving about Wenger here. As of right now which CB and CF would you buy. Being realistic.

27 Jul 2016 21:05:18
I like it D16. It's easy to pick a CB and a striker that anyone would like but who would they pick with their view in mind of how Arsenal operate . Good question.

27 Jul 2016 21:10:23
D16 let's say fabien schar and draxler. Most of the strikers we've lost or let slip now. that's as realistic as I can be this late in proceedings. I would also try a punt on sturridge.

27 Jul 2016 21:16:43
Feel free to answer yourself sanogo. I'm still trying to think because the absolute most we'd spend on s CF is 40 mil. If that. Who can we get to upgrade our team?

Diego Godin and Wissam Ben Yedder

Cheap fast goal getter and spend more on centre half

Think of the money Utd spent on Vidic and Rio - they changed their side.

27 Jul 2016 21:52:51
Van dijk and Benny boy.

27 Jul 2016 21:53:22
Are you yodas agent sy. We have a 5'7 " striker already in sancez, why would we want a worse player just because he's cheaper and wenget won't play sanchez there because he doesn't think he works well for us up top. Me I would rather sancez play striker and buy drax or mahrez. Than yoda, may the force be with you.

27 Jul 2016 21:57:35
Oh I'm not too sure 16

Malaga might have something to say about that lol

:)

27 Jul 2016 21:59:00
I too am consistent in my "Wenger Out" stance but I have two perfectly good answers:
Van Dijk. How the heck did Spuds get Wanyama for thrupence ha'penny? If they can do it, why can't we?
Striker? We have one. He's called Sanchez. Play him up top/ through the middle.
Or Carlos Bacca. 210 goals in 405 games.

And get rid of The Emperors New Clothes (Wheechair) , Gibbs, Chambers (on loan) , Mertesecker, Szczesny (I believe he has gone) and possibly Walcott (though I'm sad to say it - why not actually play him up front as he is keen to do? ) .

Harrumph!

27 Jul 2016 22:29:40
I'm from a different stance so I could be optimistic . For strikers aubameyang and CB manolas.

28 Jul 2016 09:28:12
for a change i am with steve on this

Schar - CB
Draxler Or sturridge - Striker.
