Mustafi stung me too, on FIFA, once. When he won the World Cup with Germany and you're looking for young, cheap players in their squad. Naturally, his name comes up but then you remember he sat on the bench for two years at Everton before they finally chucked him out.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Sure, but that doesn't mean they have to develop late; some are just not good enough.
Anyway, it was more a rumination on the Germany team, especially the fact that it is very often greater than the sum of its players. Something like that. I mean, very few German players have won the Premier League, for example.

We might even be able to give Campbell, Wellington and Galindo a chance.
At this stage, do you really want him spending our money? I would prefer it if he didnt bother. We know what we need (a midfielder and a centre back if Mustafi leaves) but he wont buy those. He will bring in crap we dont need.
I would rather he spent nothing and fans got even angrier. Happy to write off this season as I think we effectively have already.
