Campbell would be a far better investment. Remy would be a major step backwards.

After watching Campbell you're probably right.
Having Giroud,Sanchez,Walcott,Campbell and Ramsey would get us plenty of goals.

Be livid myself as he is exactly the type of player we need, can play on the wing and up front, 2 birds with one stone and all that.

Di Marzio confirmed that Juventus and us have held talk with his agent.

Said nothing about Liverpool through.

I'd guess the Liverpool link will die a death once Suarez gets banned

In fairness I hope we actually do spend money and that Wenger is not spotted coming out of a Soup Kitchen. We have a few gaps we really do have to fill.
Would love to be greatly surprised.

History worries me though.

In the same boat here. Dont think its being negative really, more realistic i would say. I cant see us doing what we have to but sure lets see!

I still can't believe that people here actually think Wenger is doing anything more than commentary in Brazil. Wenger doesn't work holidays. never has, never will. while we spend all our time speculating about who would suit us,Wenger relaxes and didn't give a ****. nothing will happen till July at the earliest our possibly even August, And by then a lot of the quality will have already transferred.

that's rubbish Quazzie, Wenger is doing his stuff. He wouldn't be doing his job if he was out there taking it easy. He's doing his wheeling and dealing.

Depends if you are thinking we sign 5, 20 million plus signing players. I think too many of you are going to be disappointed at that point. Wenger, apart from signing Ozil, isn't the type of manager like Jose or any City manager to throw 30 million here and there .

I'm only too well aware of that.
I found the fact that he didn't plug the gap left by Walcott's injury in January very worrying. Might have cost us the league.

pissed me off he didn't sign another striker last summer. Wenger deserves criticism when it comes to transfers. I won't defend him on that and I can see why many are worried. But common sense has to prevail, he needs a world class striker or something close to one, a defensive midfielder, a right back and back up goalkeeper with maybe a left winger. I think he get three out of those five myself.

Yeah I doubt we have anyone signed until the end of July/ early August, if not start to worry then :pac:

Because results speak for themselves. I remember the same conversations being had last year and we signed no one till the last minute. if he is active over there "wheeling and dealing" as someone else said then he's fairly dire at it. I'm fully confident of another summer of constant speculation then for one big signing to be unveiled late on to appease the fans.

I hope I'm wrong but I honestly don't think so.

Kosc starting for France, Olly on the bench. Thought they were going to rest Benzema for this one but apparently not.

Pretty much this he could have 6 goals by now. He's doing very well.

Mickeroo

Must say I wasn't overly mad for us to sign him before but after seeing him at the WC I have changed mind. Himself and Giroud link up quite well together too.

Gringo180

Really impressed with Griezman he looks every bit an Arsene Wenger player, pacey, skillfull, great vision and a good eye for goal.

He's been okay so far. I liked the look of him though.

16 goals in 35 apps last season in Spain, wouldnt be surprised if we made enquiries about him when the Vela deal was been done.

I think the Vela deal been done is probably to get Griezman in to be honest. Great deal if it happens, he's young and playing with Arsenal he get better.

After we fcuked them over for Vela they'll be selling him at a high premium if we are interested

I dont mean to model the shirts, just thats two weeks time and would be very worried if we had nothing at all done by then. Other clubs seem to be making their moves now.

Sure we dont usually do our business until the back end of August so I would be very surprised if we signed anybody before then especially as its a World Cup year. Ridiculous policy we have as it means the new arrivals dont have a pre season under there belt.

Those one - twos between Benzema and Giroud....forget Balo.

Have to say, Schneiderlin has had an excellent game.

Wouldn't mind him here at all

He would be ideal for what we need and how we play. Already accustomed to the English game too which is a big bonus.,

Not at the level that would be needed to tempt Southampton unfortunately.

that would be a fantastic partnership and ozil will have a quality striker to get on the end of his pinpoint passes!

yeah its a pity though cause he would be a good buy for us or even a loan for a season

So it's Djourou and Senderous v Messi. That should be interesting

Watching the Swiss v Honduras highlights there. Shame we missed out on Drmic, would have been a bargain at the price he went for.

Bargains from relegation threatened teams are in the past.
