So we're not in for zaha

[o2be a gooner]

Maybe it would kill the super super quality Gervinho?

12m isn't that much for a player who is 20 and looks excellebt

[Peter]

You can have too many english players you know. Most of them are f**king ****

Tell Palace to stick their 15m valuation where the sun dont shine.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I think 12m is alot for a player who is 20 and looks excellebt given that his excellent looking has been at Championship level.

It's a gamble, and 12m is a lot to gamble with. The true value of the deal only being borne out in 3-4 seasons time as he develops.

Has Chamberlain been good value for 12m given that a lot of it was up front?

[Pokster]

we don't really need to strengthen..... put it towards a striker or CB imho

[Peter]

But the signing wasnt designed to do so. The aim is to get a top class player for 12 million, and that takes either time, luck or a very, very good spot.

In this case, time.

to keep up the quota of mentioning this every five threads or so

[Bergkamp's Brain]

It should be a striker, a good won

Can i be the first to say that michu is ****?

[Ashberto]

Wingcock doesn't want to be one. Nor Podolski apparently. Ox's future might be in the middle. Arshavin is dead.

[Peter]

The worst thing we could do would be to bring in some ordinary players. You are then stuck with a useless **** for four years.

We need some good old school wenger signings. The ones that other clubs think are washed up, or were all hype. It seems to be much harder now to find the ones that nobody else knows about.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

10 players who do not know how to defend as a unit. Adding one more will not make much difference. We could go in the other direction and get someone who can pop the ball in the net. That would cover for a team that can't defend

[Peter]

:-)

[Bergkamp's Brain]

If Everton can get a Felaini and Swansea can get a Michu, it does show that the bargains are still out there. We should still have some hope?

a limited player but one who knew his weaknesses. Very difficult to pick up any sort of form when you have been left on the bench for 18 months because one of the worlds best strikers has been in the form of his life and injury free.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

And I am combining them.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

even if he struggles for the rest of the season, he has already as good as paid off the transfer fee imo

[Luis Anaconda]

Just a bit bored with the tedious way his name is brought up every five f**king minutes. We would have been crucified if we had signed him last summer

[Bergkamp's Brain]

I suspect Rich would have been the first

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

What with the whole different teams and entirely different games scenario that unfolds.

Like I chuckle a little when I see comments about how we dodged a bullet with Sahin which I disagree with. A quality footballer, who knows how he would have down with us, under Wenger etc.

It's almost as if every transfer is unique.

and they are well stocked in most areas. They looked rather good at the weekend
