put towards buying players from our rivals :cloud9:

Well I hope it's as well as rather than instead of.

Vela had told journalists last month that he was hopeful of a return to north London this summer, seeing the switch as the next step in his career

A couple of nice chips in the Carling Cup and against bottom 5 opposition and I think we'd all be very happy.

[Luis Anaconda]

[PSRB]

ahead of him for France these days

[Rich]

It is, isn't it?

You'd rather we had Vela back than Karim Benzema.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

not bother with a Benzema type signing. I mean, we want a better goalscorer than Giroud, not someone with a similar record that costs £30m.

[Luis Anaconda]

My point is you wet yourself not on the ability of a player but how high-profile they are. Last summer if we had signed a striker from Spain, who had never scored more than ten goals in a league season, you would have ridiculed it. Earlier this season you were screaming that we should sign DIego Costa. Says it all really

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Luis Anaconda]

Suarez or nowt (though he would have taken Higuain)

[Rich]

Would rather have Lukaku.

[Luis Anaconda]

I'd rather have Mandzukic than either

[Ben.]

Preferably Sanchez, him and Walcott either side Giroud will look better and score more.
Teams won't be able to push up and squeeze us like they have been able to at times this season.

[Rich]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

for a full season. And as you say, because he's cheap you can then look to buy some quality in other areas. Holding midfielder/winger etc...

[PSRB]

should really have scored at least 10 more than he did.....mind you, they also think they play the best football in the league http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

[Ben.]

also no adaptation period, makes more sense than spending 30-35m on someone who probably isn't top draw either.
Also the option of that pace to come on when teams are tired, he can also play wide if needed, I wanted him last summer.

prefer Cavani though :-(

[Ben.]

I like both, I just think when Sanchez moves you may see the player who plays for Chile, he's excellent.
