Mourinho to swoop in at the last second and spoil the party? :p


Like everyone else I'm also a bit shocked that Wenger is finally getting out the chequebook. He'll be a great addition to the team, but if they don't finish in the top four will they be able to keep hold of him?

Demba Ba to Arsenal would be a good move all round I think. Chelsea seem intent on giving Torres priority, and with Lukaku around I can't see Ba having much game time.
 
Ozil is WAY above what we have now, but unless these figures being spoken about are transfer + wages we're getting screwed. Firstly Ozil isn't that good, he gets assists because Ronaldo is epic, not because he can dominate a team, he's been rubbish in their big games.

Most worryingly is a team without massive injury issues refuses to play him for more than 65mins in the majority of his games and he looks lightweight and frail.... I'm genuinely concerned that a team that generally mismanages fitness/training/injuries will destroy a player like him. Lastly, our biggest problem is not squad quality but squad depth and we're buying someone uber expensive in the only position we have loads of depth with about 15 players to come back from injury who all play ACM.

The most important thing is, who/where will he play. He likes to play where Santi does, ahead of the midfield/behind in the striker, in the middle. Are we going to play him left wing, in which case no Podolski, is Wenger going to drop Walcott, his little love child who can do no wrong and play him right wing, is he going to drop Cazorla, or is he going to drop Ramsey? I genuinely don't know, as with Monreal a sensible manager I wouldn't have much issue with signing him, Wenger. I think he'll do something stupid, play Ozil in his weaker position out wide or drop the wrong player in the middle.

Ultimately with crap fullbacks, half a fit CB and a single senior striker, we seem to be trying to sign a player for whom Rosicky, Ramsey, Wilshire, Cazorla, Diaby, Zelalem all want to play in the same position.

Of all the places to spend all our money on one player, it shouldn't be the only position we've got absolutely covered. For the record I'd love Ozil(though for less, especially as Real Madrid are desperate to get rid to make space for Bale, think of Sneijder and VDV being pawned off to make room at bargain prices, why are Arsenal smashing their transfer record when Real are trying to do the same thing?), and I'd instantly and happily never play WAlcott ever again and play Ozil wide right(because he's better wide than Cazorla who is pretty crap on the wing).

My problem as I said with Monreal is I know he's a better player than what we have, but Wenger doing something retarded, like dropping Monreal for a LB who can't defend, is standard.

Quality of squad ISN'T the reason we haven't won anything, Wenger is. With Ozil this squad would be massively weaker than the squad we had from 2005-2009... when we couldn't win anything because of the mistakes Wenger makes no matter how good the squad is. My general belief is he'll play Ozil in the middle and waste Cazorla wide left, and push Podolski out of the team as he was doing end of last season, beginning of this season, like he did to Arshavin. Podolski left, Ozil right, Santi/Wilshire/Ramsey midfield would be a massive improvement. What I suspect is Santi left, Walcott right, Ozil/Wilshire/Ramsey in the middle, isn't much of an improvement because Santi has been utterly ineffective on the wing.

Exactly what I've been saying! DF and striker and we are ok I think.

I think with a striker signed I would be happy. Defender and striker would be ideal.

I think wenger should make a move for Torres instead of Ba. I think he could do well at arsenal and might be able to get him cheap.

Let's hope the ozil deal gets down so we can move onto the next player.

Can you not be happy for once? :p
 
I think Ozil should have been our last purchase to make. We really need new defenders and a striker more then another AMC.

get Suarez for 50m and a good CB and we should be good to go
