    So you're now looking for a future prospect and not the 30 a season RvP replacement you first stated. How do you know Sanogo isn't that player.

    Those guys have proved themselves on the champion league level and have scored goals. Sanogo, I don't like what I saw during the summer with France or when he was on the field. I wish him the best but he shouldn't be on our bench right now.

    If Giroud gets injured in our next game we have Walcott to lead the line. I don't think that's acceptable, to be honest.

    Samuel ‏@samuelj29060 1h Spanish football federation confirm Mesut Özil is no longer a La Liga player. ( @fredhermel )


    He's gone at least.

    @wayneveysey: Arsenal striker twist: Told AFC are working on a new deal for a forward. Unlikely but not impossible.

    With the amount of chances they gave him he could have doubled that. He was falling over the ball, miss kicking things. As I said I wish him the best of luck and I hope he proves me wrong but he shouldn't be anywhere near our first team yet.

    I reckon as gosplan said you just like moaning, we could sign Suarez, Benzema and Ronaldo and you would still find a reason to give out about something.

    So the good times are just down the road is it?

    YES.

    Good - adding Ozil

    Bad - selling Fabregas

    That's kind of how i see it. Am I crazy?

    @wayneveysey: Arsenal striker twist: Told AFC are working on a new deal for a forward. Unlikely but not impossible.

    Hope this is true, would be as an important a signing as Ozil for me. Here's hoping it's someone of quality.

    Herrera move to Man Utd off according to ssn. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,222 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    Boateng on facebook

    Jérôme Boateng Official

    Alles Gute beim FC Arsenal Mesut Özil



    To many German players have said similar today for it not to happen I reckon.

    Imagine united tacked a 50 million bid for ozil now!

    Martinez and El Shaarway are young lads and will improve greatly under Wenger. How do you know they won't end up like Van persie. No one knows but they are talents and signing one of those would be amazing. Van persie didn't turn world class over night.

    No objection on that but do we need a class striker 5 years down the road or right now?

    No, I want my team to be winning things not fighting for 4th. I don't want to accept second best. Ozil is a great signing but he's not enough, am I wrong to think that?

    Buy world's best players for team. Future = good

    Sell world's best players from team. Past = bad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,713 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    We're still chasing a striker according to Twitter.

    I think those lads would score in the double figures. maybe down the line they will maybe they won't but at least we could show ambition by signing these lads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    looks like united only going to get Fellaini.

    meltown in the united thread.

    So it's ambition you're looking for and Ozil isn't ambitious?

    I'm confused by what it is you want exactly as every time you post it seems to be something different'

    And I agree he's not. We won't compete for first this year unless it really really clicks and injuries stay away.

    But our striker plans didn't work out this summer and maybe they just have to be put on hold?

    The reason I'm optimistic is that for the first time in years and years, we're really moving forward and showing intentions to push on. I don't get why that's a struggle for people.
