Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[IBK]

Nobody has said that. Unfortunately the reality is we did go out and arrange a loan for an injured player. A mistake, they happen. But this is professional sport and the fans pay a lot of money for professional staff to run the affairs of the club. These mistakes need to be questioned, there's nothing unreasonable about asking the questions. And these questions give rise to other questions, such as why our club seems to be cursed with long term injury problems. Which leads to a central question, is our medical team properly competent?

Enlighten me. Were we obliged contractually to take the player even before his medical? Surely not. So Why. The fuck. Would we take a player on loan for the rest of the season who is injured for half of it?

Only the relevant people inside Arsenal can answer that and until they do it remains a Bermuda Triangle/ Who really built the pyramids type of mystery.

But is he really the player we want now? I'd rather we go out in the summer and get a quality proven striker and holding midfielder, im thinking Jackson Martinez/Diego Costa and Lars Bender/Morgan Schneiderlin/Victor Wanyama.

This will not happen, we'll do our usual scratching around for a few months, the World Cup be on and so we won't be able to sign anyone then, then after the World Cup Wenger will say prices are inflated because of the World Cup and we'll sign some two bit nobodies towards the end of the window.

I don't trust Wenger to do the necessary in the transfer market, simply because he never has.

This whole Kallstrom episode really makes us look like a joke, why would we sign a player on loan who's out for 6 games when he's really only cover for injured players who should be back around then?

No sane individual would do this.

The special eejiot has someone in mind for the summer.....and that could be Diego Costa (what with having the same agents) but who knows.

Jonas - Draxler is without doubt not the finished article but there's no reason why he could not have had an impact similar to Reyes when we signed him. I remember Reyes really giving us a push in the FA cup and just giving us more of a direct option in the league.

Draxler is unlikely to be exhausted by his exertions at the world cup, although it is worth mentioning that even our very own Gnabry is being seriously considered for the German squad.

Reus is ahead of him at this point too...

I think David Icke knows

I have a feeling we are going to sign Benteke!

Ok...so I'm quoting myself from 23.01.2014...a year and half later...any closer to this happening?
Not sure he's the kind of striker we need although I think he'd be very useful... Only Giroud has any sort of physical presence up front. However if someone like Higuain became available...think I might prefer that option.

We're not signing Benteke.

Let's keep it to one transfer bollocks thread.
