Gonzo was at least born in France, guess that makes it more likely...

A preliminary deal I guess would depend on Arsenal coming 4th on whether it is completed.

Is this up there with Zlatan in an Arsenal shirt and Mata being a done deal.

I will believe it when the new season kicks off and he's got the cannon on his shirt badge till then this is total BS :twisted:

It's most likely someone within our club, they've hacked his page and it will revert back to type once the renewals have been done and dusted!

Seeing as we probably can't afford his 250k wages,we could give him all the rank looking grannies he can handle......lord knows the eastend has enough to keep the granny lover happy.

With three of the four teams above us having change of managers the need to invest in proven performers is paramount .
With a balanced and quality in depth squad we COULD have a chance at the title however i we continue to rummage around in the opta stats oddbins of Europe we will deny ourselves of a truly golden opportunity .
Unfortunately I seriously doubt if we will net spend over 20 million !

one year of the TV money is more than that, as are the Emirates and Puma deals
be pretty surprising if our net spend is that low unless we significantly increased the wage bill

A golden opportunity indeed, Pellegrini and David Mouse have not one cup between them!!! Wenger is starting to look good again :barscarf:

But we must grasp this opportunity a buy and build well for the season ahead, and not take our foot off the pedal.
