Wenger "To find players to strengthen a club like ours at this time is nearly impossible. It’s not about money.”

Fucking hell not this again. If it's "impossible" for the scouts to find anyone from the tens or hundreds of thousands of registered professional footballers around the world who could possibly improve the squad then they need sacking

This is more like it, Paul-Georges N'tep is coming to us from Ligue 2 Auxerre :barscarf: French-African? Check. Playing in Ligue 2? Check. Name looks like a game of scrabble gone wrong? Check.

He took the Eurostar to London this morning;

Auxerre want £8m but One Arsene Wenger is prepared to haggle to save us from the dizzying prices again. The new Yaya Sanogo he surely isn't! :oops: :roll: :banghead:

With all due respect to the guy, I find it impossible to believe that we cannot locate and sign a better centre forward than giroud in world football - yes the guy tries hard but he is not and never will be a prolific striker and we can and should have better options in that position :oops: :oops:

I notice on the other mc post that has us linked with some young Spanish kid (deemed not good enough for ath Madrid mind :roll: ) that the piece suggests that ath Madrid are in a financial bind and would be willing to listen to offers - it's funny that, that same financial bind story has never surfaced when we are linked with diego costa :roll: Personally turan looks a real good player for them and should be rated higher than costa

I have seen fcuk all of draxler but by all accounts he is a real top quality youngster 8) Of course the question remains....should he be signed ahead of a striker ? The answer is of course no which, given wenkers history, suggests that it is more likely to happen :roll:

Buy all the attacking midfielders! Midfielders solve everything according to Wenger.

He plays on the left wing but this is what he said last month:

"I have now resigned myself to the fact that I am not welcome in the number 10 position here at Schalke," he told German magazine Kicker.

"I am still convinced to be as dangerous just outside the centre. Even though I perhaps am the only one who thinks this."


http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/footbal ... 95458.html

No way will he be a number 10 for us. So perhaps, if we sign him, Wenger will play him up front. Henry and Van Persie were left-wing forwards when they joined us.

So now we're gonna get worked up over some random bloke from France claiming he's on his way to London? Really?? I'm willing to bet ANY MONEY he wouldn't be signing for us, ffs. Much ado about nothing you say... :roll:
