What you forget is that Mertesecker is a LEADER a CAPTAIN and one respected in Germany at the highest levels. You don't play 75 times for Germany in the heart of a disciplined defence and be a shrinking violet. We are crying out for leaders....this one is just that.

yeah, that's how the Club should be run...
We need players though mate. I know what you're saying, but we really need numbers

But it would be even better if we were being linked with 'top quality' players as Wenger claimed. The guy from South Korea, who's name I can't even remember, hardly falls into that category. These players are another demonstration of the fact that Wenger is no longer fit to manage our Club.

@augie
You asked about any bid for Mario Götze.
I don´t think AW will make an official bid for him. I rate him as one of the biggest talents in world football, so Dortmund would never sell him, even for 40m.

I think it will be left to clubs to fight over his signature in 6 months time.
Bolton really should be looking at recouping on him before losing out.

That wont be a problem 'We have internal solutions' and when he comes back he will be 'like a new signing'
Wow! Two signings for one price!

You wont need to remember it, it will be on the back of a million jerseys in Asia next week.
