Moreover if we buy big, what is to say the player will not settle immediately? Look at Spurs.

---------------------


Ridiculous. If you used this excuse we would never buy anyone ever.

Spurs brought about 6 big players there was always a chance a high percentage would flop, we're begging for at least 1, don't compare both situations

And do you think that 1 player would have an immediate impact? I doubt it. We have a strong squad with the only weakness being in attack. But a striker may not make the impact we need. He may take a dozen games to settle into the country and team. By then it would be too late.

In the summer I expect a striker or two plus a proper box to box midfielder who is built like a brick out house.

It's a better risk to gamble on a striker than to gamble on Giroud leading the line. He'll go missing till april now with all these big games coming up

And if we don't sign either of those I'm guessing you'll be disappointed, right?

Obviously he has faith in his squad. Like he had faith in Ramsey.

Yes I will be. Can you show me a summer window where we didn't buy anyone?

I can certainly show you plenty of summers where we didn't sign the players people were hoping we'd sign.

We have bought poorly over the years and never strengthened when most required

posted on 30/1/14

these sort of posts make laugh, no is crying, no one is a doom merchant, but its pretty obvious we need a new signing or two to help us through the rest of the season, just because people want new players brought in does not mean we aren't behind the current team.

The current team includes the manager. Some on this thread seem to want us to lose to put pressure on Wenger to resign.

Tbh it's quite a confusing article you've written. You seem to be saying, don't sign anyone as it's too much of a risk?

You say Draxler needs a preseason to make an impact and use Özil as an example of a player that hasn't reached his potential with us yet because he needs more time. Yet the general consensus is that signing Özil gave the squad a massive boost.

You also make out that people are whining now, but a couple of wins in our next two games and everyone will be dandy again. In other words, people are being fickle.

Yet you then go on to say how come the summer you want two strikers and a new midfielder. But you've stated in your article signing players is risky!

You've lost me, tbh.

Disgraceful but fack it, we will beat Palace on Sunday and all will be good again

Really hope we don't sign Klose!

Unless he's going to score loads of goals for us.

In which case I'm all for it.
