Talking about heavy drinking ..We will sign Lemar and Lacazette, the other chap not a chance. Possibly a late swoop for Mahrez once Alexis is gone.
Opening day of the season back to the old 4-3-3 with a front 4 of Lemar, Ozil, Mahrez and Lacazette

So do many other news outlets. I am not expert in how this works but isn't there a good chance they are either copying each other or they all got it from the same source?
Is he any good?
Good enough for us.
Well put. That's exactly the right way to look at it, imo, the way things are.

Ornstein is a big piss on your chips type character.
he'll always say Arsenal's business is done very early on deadline day or the day before.
Isn't the point of paying good money for players to raise the standard of what 'good enough for us' means?
Well, yes. And, no.
I reckon if a player is good enough for us to offer a hundred million quid for him, then the player probably feels he is good enough to be playing for Real Madrid. But now that everybody believes we have a hundred million quid to spend, that will also be the price for almost anyone else we want, who, of course, may or not be actually good enough for us. Either way, we are forced to look elsewhere, for worse.
Hence: Danny Welbeck, for example.

With respect, nobody believed that Danny was going to raise the standard. He was cover at a decent price.
Spending 50 million on a striker is a different matter altogether. Being good enough for us doesn't justify that kind of money.
Yes, it does. That is why we are reluctant to spend it on such a player; we can't really afford for it not to work out, footballistically as well.
It's easy to justify Mesut's price tag but a fifty million pound striker who (for whatever reason) only scored as often as Danny Welbeck would be a disaster for us. For that sort of money, we'd demand Alan Smith or Thierry Henry.
