Based on what - have a good season? :? :? By the way, I'm still waiting for Santi to show he's worthy of your 'another Robert Pires' claim and to see the supposedly great free-kick technique with either foot that he allegedly possesses. :oops:

12 goals + 14 assists and our player of the season last year not good enough for you then?

Costa is brilliant. Watch him play.

I'd gladly take Costa because anyone is better than the FatDane, but people shouldn't get carried away with him. He's 25ish and has had half a good season in a very good team. Anyone remember Benteke, Cisse, Ba etc?

We're both wrong mate.......Santa is coming

At the moment he's flying over Africa and Wenger's hoping he's going to pick up some 'super quality' presents there to drop off in London in only a few hours

Didn't Walcott get more than that in both categories, from less appearances? And most people on here say he still isn't good enough!! :? Stats eh. :lol: And how many of those have been free-kicks? You know, the thing he was supposed to specialize in? :rubchin: As for winning player of the year - that's coz he hardly had much competition last season, so average were our performances on the whole. Not saying that he isn't a very decent player, but I do think he's at least a couple of levels behind the very best. One thing is for sure - he's definitely no Robert Pires!!

Re: watching Costa play. You've made this mistake before with me 1989 (might even have been when you were waxing lyrical about Santi being as good as Bobby P.) - presuming that people that have an alternative point of view on a player obviously haven't watched as much of the player as you!! :banghead: :banghead: :roll: :roll: Perhaps it's the case that I've seen MORE of Costa than you but haven't got carried away with his relatively decent form this season as much as you and the media have? :rubchin: :rubchin:

Arsenal have been quoted £22m if they want to sign Newcastle's French midfielder Yohan Cabaye in the January transfer window.
Full story: Daily Mail

Cabaye might be coming

:barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Would be genius too.......another midfielder is just what we need :D

We are linked with Batshuaiyi, meanwhile United goes for Reus. :rubchin:
Same old, same old.. We got Özil, now it's all under 10m transfers for next 5 years.

And if he signs Cabaye he really lost his mind. :banghead:
Oh and Sagna is leaving, what about signing a new RB, Wenker? :cussing:

If Chauncey Wenger lays out £22m on Cabaye i'm gonna lose my shit. Firstly, he's not what we need. Secondly, he's worth £10m tops. 30 years in football? For fucks sake.

:banghead:
Another line from the Daily Mail is that Arsenal have been quoted a staggering £22million by Newcastle as they prepare a stunning move for Yohan Cabaye in the January transfer window. Arsene Wenger is thought to be after another creative talent in central midfield but they will be rivalled by Paris St Germain

Just read that on skysports.com this morning. I actually believe that shit for brains could possibly use his entire transfer budget signing another midfielder :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:
