SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Michu would have been fucking perfect for us instead of that cart-horse Giroud. You could play Michu anywhere, his link up play is reminiscent of RVP for me.

Imagine playing Giroud in midfield. :lol: :lol:

Alan Davies put it best "Giroud doesn't look like a footballer", he looks like a kit boy who has been given a game because of injuries for a pub team.

You can add Moussa Sissoko to that list. £500k and is twice the footballer as Diaby is. And he stays fit after 5 minutes of football.

I like Michu and he would have been a good signing (a damn sight better than Giroud, however handsome he is) but comparisons with van Judas - really??? Different class altogether.

A little unfair - none of us are paid to scout other leagues. He was linked with Utd early last year. He was the highest scoring midfielder in La Liga, so it wasn't such an obscure signing - however, converting him to a striker is something that no one would have predicted.

I agree, it's easy now the bloke has scored over 20 goals and looks the bargain of the season. But like most i'd never heard of him

and if Wenger had signed him for £3m, every gooner would of been pissed off and called him another Chamakah

hindsight is a wonderful thing

So, I posted whilst inebriated, once, twice or several times. What is your excuse for quoting a twitter source mac?

Shaddap trolling me, or else.

Maybe but earlier in the season fergie was asked about him and he said he had never heard of him until he joined swansea

With all the shit rumours you post on here you must have come across him before surely? Throw enough mud and something will stick and all that.
