Yeah, agreed. I just try not to get caught up in transfer drama. If we sign a good player, that's cool I guess. I hope we sign another good player too, but there is such a dearth of reliable info that I don't get worked up until it is on the official website.

I'd be disappointed because I don't believe Giroud is good enough to be first choice. I think we are in for another, although you never know with Wenger. I've said a number of times neither Sanogo or Campbell are not close to ready. Sanchez is still a good buy for us, doubly so if Cazorla goes.
What's the Cazorla rumour?
Atletico are in for him, the papers say.
NO CHANCE.
Giroud would work great with a great finisher IMO. Lovely control and technique but lacks that finishing touch. That said, I don't watch him week in week out. My Arsenal supporting friend doesn't think he's good enough either.
Would have though Mandzukic would be perfect for you lot.
You'd need the players queuing at either side of him or behind him, to receive the sandwiches & orange slices..
Feck that then. Worth a shot though
Doesn't have the dynamism or variety to score against top sides. Is good back up. Don't know too much about Mandzukic except I believe he's similar to Giroud and not tremendously prolific.
Sanchez can play upfront on his own or with Giroud, which makes him a much better option than the likes of Mandzukic (not to mention the gulf in quality).
Err, what about everyone's digeridoo wielding family favourite?As always mucker - everyone's favourite Australian after Steve Irwin
Crocodile Dundee?
Oh - you're on about Harris eh?
I dont think that was a digeridoo mate..

Pffft peasants, come to a big club Alexis, we don't need to check down the back of the sofa for transfer funds. Even our mop for the changing rooms cost 27 million.
There's an article out there claiming we'll get di Maria and Sanchez. While my second reaction was to laugh at the improbability of it, my first was to think "I hope it's right".
With all this talk of spending 150mil pounds or more we might as well get all our muppet emotions out now, when they're in season.

It was Koscielny
Sanchez is definitely world class though.Embarrassing.
Nothing new with them lot.
Lots of reports saying Sanchez has rejected United due to no Champions League If it's true then it is a massive kick in the teeth.
Why is this a toss up between Liverpool and Arsenal? Are we really not bothering with this guy?
Mirror just came in with the obligatory "United set to hijack the deal for Arsenal and Liverpool target Alexis Sanchez".
Some tabloid was always bound to do it.

To be fair it's our own fault, we were shite last season. I can see why top players want to play in the CL every year. There's no guarantee we'll even be in it in 2015-2016!
Not overly worried about missing out on a bidding war for this guy, as good as he is. I think there are other options that could do us very well. I would prefer we get into the bidding war for Vidal as the other positions aren't nearly as vital to us.
Be rather hilarious if he joined either Arse or the scousers on that basis and then they missed out next season.
Ya bad bugger ya.It would be, but he's the kind of player who ensures that kind of thing doesn't happen.
Arsenal's worse team was their 2011/2012 squad and they still made top 4. We should just resign to the fact that Wenger will always get them into the Champions League spots...no matter how bleak it may seem.
I honestly think we need both. One look at the squads of the top CL clubs and you can see they have top quality depth throughout.
All of our wingers are terrible, except Adnsn
There is no way we can fit 2 new wingers plus Rooney, Mata and RVP in the same side....someone would have to go, and its possibly Rooney in that scenario.
Wonder if Barca will keep him with Neymars injury and Suarez suspension.
If we're not in for Sanchez, then for me I hope it's because Van Gaal already has Depay on the cards.
Its all about havin a great squad - not just about the 1st 11. The better the quality of players - the better the options we'd have. I couldnt give a shite if players are disgruntled (apart from Adnan) if we're whoopin ass all around us this season..
The more upgrades in - the better..
