Tend to agree. He may turn out to be one of these chaps who thrives in another set-up, but I think that's a risk worth taking. I don't see him realising his potential with us, I'm afraid.Quote:

I am not normally a fan of his work but I did think my fellow Dubliner Arseblog did a half decent piece on this today.
Take the money and buy a midfielder. It dawned on me on Friday that if Xhaka were to get injured we're completely ****ed. Our midfield options are awful once you get past Ramsey and Xhaka.Quote:

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, other than the bit about Ramsey being any good, of course, Wenger buying a midfielder would require him to admit that he got it wrong about one or more of Coquelin, Elneny and Wilshere and that Cazorla will not play for us any time soon.Quote:

If he doesn't buy one it would be more about wanting to give Ramsey playing time more than anything else. Wenger is more of a "what if he doesn't get injured" type of thinker than a "what if he gets injured".Quote:

Do you know, I thought the same? :hehe:Quote:

:clap: Yes, I'm afraid even I have to accept the irrational side of my hatred for that appalling Welsh c*nt. :-)Quote:

If that is true the fact that have played our first match without selling and replacing any of them strikes me as very odd, even by Wenger's transfer strategy standards. :shrug:Quote:

Elneny is going nowhere so sell Oxlade and you get Elneny. If Wenger didn't **** Ox around he'd stay and could become an awesome wing-back on the right.
The idea he is going to end up in central midfield is faintly ludicrous.
If Siggurdson and Barkley are £50million+ players then Ox is at least at that level.Quote:

More chance of him re signing too.
If City upped their Alexis bid to £70m then I'd sell but would rather deal with PSG for Draxler
Arsenal accepted an offer for Elneny??Quote:
