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

[Ed Hunter The Gooner]

Agree with the comments regarding Ba, and the need to sign a much better striker. If he signed Ozil, I'd even forgive him Podolski's departure if it meant freeing up funds for Suarez too

Something nagging away at me telling me Pod is off.

Hopefully not, he definitely has a place in the team.

Yeah covering a badge with Monkey Spit! Yuch!

According to Sky, required loan fee for Ba is 3M and Arsenal has offered 1,5M...

Don't know about you but when it was announced at the beginning of the summer that we'd be spending big i envisaged us making 3 signings...a striker around £28m, a defensive midfielder and a central defender around £23m each and a couple of typical cheapies (Sanogo&Flamini fit that bill perfectly). Never thought we'd be contemplating a £40m+ player. Still not sure it's the right thing, i really think Mario Gomez was a perfect AFC style striker avail for a bargain £17m.

We should buy Defoe....perfect for us with all the possession we get and the number of chances we create - He would score 20+ goals a season.

Sorry podolski is a lazy fucker, Giroud who has been much maligned on this forum offers the team much more value. Dunno what the pod love in is, certainly no gooner that I know rates him.

I would accept selling Pod if we replaced him with Mata on left wing

Surely not - be very surprised if he wasn't heavily involved in getting Ozil also, as has been stated, gives Wenger the chance to play Poldi and Walcott as strikers.
If we got DiMaria (as soft as he is) then our stacked midfield could be relieved by having Walcott and Podolski given more central striking roles. Imagine Jack, if ever fit, will be fighting for DM. Mikel most likely loser out of all this and maybe Ramsey.

FFS if we want Ba just give Chelsea the £3m.We have just spent £42m on a player yet are going back to type haggling over a £1.5m.

If it was Ba or nothing I'd take Ba

Good call

Why not offer £5m so we can buy Ba?

[goonersid]

Any good work done today will be undone imo if Podolski goes, he is the best finisher at the club.
