Fantastic spirit shown by the team tonight. Many players like Cazorla and Wilshere had performances that answered recent criticism and we as a team with them driving us forward looked much sharper than in recent games. Wilshere in particular looked very good, a performance that shows his potential and hopefully this season he can really kick on. Alexis and Debuchy were very exciting threats tonight and although we lacked the quality from a finishing point of view there were positive signs.
Now that we're in the group stage, hopefully we can SIGN A FACKING DM AND STRIKER . This side, as evidenced from games like today, has some outstanding parts but just needs these additions to really kick on. It makes nights like this more frustrating, you see just how close we are and hearing Wenger confirm just now that Giroud is out until January and GODSTEIN saying we're not signing a striker just makes you want to slam your head against a wall.
Away to Leicester next and it'll be interesting to see if Alexis gets the nod up front, he probably will after Giroud is injured and scoring tonight but I have a weird feeling we might see Sanogo back .
Again, worth stressing in case he somehow reads this, WE NEED A DM AND STRIKER!!!!!!!!!!!! or this season is going to be another 'what if' again as far as the league and CL are concerned.
Quality needs to be added to character

At least he might introduce Oxlade-Chamberlain properly.

Napoli out.
Higuain in
Make us dream, Arsene.

Benitez will demand a king's ransom for Gonzalo.
Not going to happen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Higuain will want the move more than ever now.
£35m for Higuain, or £20m to get Falcao on loan?
No brainer really.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Higuain was bought for close to £35 million. Napoli will want a decent profit on their star man
Yes, the Argentine may push for a move but it behoves on us to stump out the dosh.

They are not in the CL though and he hasn't really lived up to his £35M price tag. He is in his prime now, if they want their money back, and all Italian teams want money, then they will have to sell now.

Should have snapped up Balotelli for the bargain price of 16Mil.
