Can't help thinking it's strage we sign a creative midfielder when we could use steel whilst Manu

[Mo Britain less Europe]

sign steel when they have no creativity! I think we have the better deal thugh.

It still has signs of an appeasing ( although very welcome ) trolley dash.
We've shown the usual signs of plugging the gaps with pragmatic buys, that haven't really impressed the fans - Flamini, Vivianno. A hallmark prodigy aquisition, then the coup de grace, a transfer fee breaking world class creative midfielder, an area where we're not exactly crying out for re enforcement.

Maybe the whole thing will work but it doesn't really lend itself to any real credible plan.

And better still the other players responded to and respected what he did AND what he said.

Perhaps every side needs a player like him :shrug:

It can't be appeasement.

That assumes that Wenger didn't know who he wanted or what he was doing?

Think it's time some people stop thinking they know better!

[Pat Vegas]

Like before really.

Higuain, it could be argued, was part of the plan..

I'm not moaning about it, just an observation.

I'm hoping he'll be a utility squad player, to be used sparingly or thrown into the thick of the frey against Stoke.

everyone on here knows better than everyone else.

At the end of the day its a game of two halves and the boy done good finally slotting one in the onion bag.

Lots of busy attacking midfield wizards, at least one big boy up front, got potential imo
