The van Persie thing has been done to death and people aren't going to change their views on whether he owed us loyalty for his years of injury.

First time I've seen somebody suggesting that he had already shown us too muc loyalty though. No better side than Arsenal would have dreamed of going for him before that summer.

You would think the emotional pull of Steptoe (Vardy) being reunited with Hercules (Steptoe's carthorse Giroud) would of made it an easy decision :lol:

To be fair we did scout Aubameyang 437 times while he was at Saint-Étienne but when the French Postal Service put Ya Ya Sanogo up for sale we turned our attention towards him......rightly in this poster's humble opinion 8)

Your post made me think about the Bundesliga, and I think it's becoming a bit of a joke. Munich have won the league 13 times in the last 20 years, including the last four years. Before this current streak Dortmund had challenged them, but Munich took Lewandowski (for free!), Goetze and now Hummels.

A league in a country of 100 million people is going to be dominated by one club. It's starting to make Scottish football look competitive.

We're supposedly close to signing just what we need..........another midfielder!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Henrikh Mkhitaryan for 25m?? Well if that happened then Wilshere must be out the door because the last thing we need is another playmaker in midfield!! :roll:

The Aubameyang to City story just goes to show how tight we are when it comes to transfers. After the Vardy story broke I bemoaned the fact he isn't a huge upgrade on what we already have and the only way we can prove we are genuine about challenging for the top honours was by making mega bids for genuinely top class players. Friends (both gooners and fans of other clubs) said there weren't really any attainable strikers in that bracket, but City are showing if you put up enough cash and show enough desire for these players deals can be done (I know that deal hasn't been done yet but last week he wasn't for sale!

We simply aren't ruthless/don't have the desire to make the signings we need. Vardy for £20m (+£1 :wink: ) isn't a terrible signing in isolation but I don't think he gets us any nearer to where we need to be.

Season after season Munich just cherry pick the best players in the league from other clubs weakening the league further and further. The Bundesliga is an absolute bore fest of a procession these days and if City hadn't gotten Aubameyang it was only a matter of time before he'd have been gobbled up by Bayern anyway.

there is no way he has signed and had his medical. no photos of him arriving at london colney or anywhere have surfaced, no twitter gobshite has said they've seen him on the holloway road either....

sorry, it's over. and city have already signed the striker we should have been going for anyway by the sounds of things. normal service resumed :roll:
