Samuel Eto'o?

[26may1989]

I want my club to be successfull but not at the expense of £20 million player who can upset the unity of the squad,
How many players games have improved since we lost Henry?

If Spunking money is the solution then we are no better than the Cancer that is Chelsea and Man u

Please - that is one example of a big money player leaving and it helping out the harmony of the team. I don't know why you generalise so much. It makes no sense to me. Just because Henry leaving had a positive impact on the team does not mean that signing Kaka and Ronaldinho will have a bad impact...

Unsurprisingly Smoothie, you didn't answer my question. If Chelsea and United keep winning the league and we keep refusing to spend money...then what? What do we do then? Answer me that.

I agree that squad unity and harmony is precious, and it is the basis of our success so far this season. But that doesn't rule out going for big name players.

Henry needed to move on for his own sake - he was becoming stale, which was having a negative effect on the whole squad; we can see that now.

But we could (if Wenger wanted) sign a player like Eto'o without undermining unity in the squad. You can't tell me, for example, that buying Eto'o and selling Bendtner would result in lower levels of squad unity, Bendtner being a devisive egomaniac.

We should face up to the fact that next season we have a fundamental problem with our strikers, i.e. only one reliable and proven striker. Before the Eduardo injury, I was just about content with the strikers we have, but now it is clear we need more, else we risk screwing next season up before it starts.

look we are a top 5 team in the whole of Europe!!

and to back up what tony and donaldo have said we need to compete in each competion with a host of players dying to come here eg Ribery, Eto, when Ac where here quality over the park (yeah yeah i hear you all go we didnt lose -but we didnt win at home!!!!)

we wouldnt have to compete with Manure(USA) or Chelsea(USSR) we'd be streets ahead and not by buying Eto only (eg Wiltord) but firming up the whole squad giving youngsters time to develop not gauntlet games.

Guys we would be clear 10 points or more if we can compete with "14 fit players " now.

and did i miss something what youth squad ?? if our first tem need to go to other clubs in europe-reyes, henry, pires edu how will we hang on to others


are we gonna compete or stay pure?????????
