Absolutely no chance Ozil sits on the bench. He'd get picked over either Walcott or Ramsey.

Yeah maybe. I just thought the pace of Walcott and Sanchez either side of Benzema is more like what he's used to at Madrid.
Either way it's bloody good.
 
Cech
Bellerin Mertesacker Koscielny Monreal
Cazorla Coquellin
Walcott Ramsey Sanchez
Benzema
Ospina, Chambers, Gibbs, Flamini, Wilshere, Chamberlain, Ozil

That is a serious matchday squad. Defence is still weak but bloody hell that attack is the best thing outside Real or Barcelona.
Bayern's is miles better too.
 
Benzema wont be joining them. Humphrey and Piers Morgan? Arsenal fans are almost as desperate as us muppets with their sources.
 
Just about an hour ago he was replying to the J.Humphrey's tweet saying "Woah Woah please tell me it's Benzema". A lot must have happened during the last hour eh Piers :boring:

He's probably desperate for good news seeing the England cricket team is doing so well without KP.
 
Feels very unlikely unless Real have also got a surprise up their sleeve.
That's the only reason I'm miffed.

Real always have a surprise and if it's a striker then...

They did try to sign icardi earlier in the window but he's nowhere near ready to displace benzema.
 
Benzema doesn't score enough to carry a top team
Rooney goes in goal droughts but Benzemas version would be a famine
 
If Van Gaal wants speed and creativity, then Alex Teixeira wouldn't be a bad shout. If the quotes true, he's someone that wants to play for us, which is always a bonus.
 
tbf if you want to see arsenal fans get trolled by the biggest cnut like arsenal fan in existence, piers twitter is the place to be.

Also he hacks phones remember ? He's fully in the know and the agents don't even have a fecking clue about it.

He probably would if he didn't have a guy with a colossal ego/talent/team built round him scoring 60 a season

Doesn't explain his years long droughts with France, or why other top attackers who've played with Cristiano have suffered as badly.
IMO he's the same risk as Di Maria, a fantastic supporting character

hope you're right.

but Benzema over Giroud sounds a big step up to me, and they were already finally making signs that they might be ready to challenge last season.

Wenger seems to have finally realised it takes a 30-40m big signing each summer.
 
We play a system where our manager prefers a no.9 that can drop deep, hold play, beat his man and bring others into play when we're in the box.

Wtf has benzema been doing for ronaldo all these years, he'd be perfect for us.

If we're interested, we can offer wages to Benzema that Arsenal cannot. Just depends on whether we're interested...
 
You have to assume we're interested, we could pay a higher fee and higher wages but Benz simply prefers arsenal. Unless LVG really doesn't want to have to drop rooney

Another factor to consider is Real being reluctant to sell Benzema to us because we're playing hardball on De Gea.

We play hardball with De Gea so they'll accept less money from Arsenal, makes perfect sense. ;)

But that could work to our advantage if we told them we'd make the de Gea deal easy if they let us have Benzema. Not going to happen though, I doubt we're in for a striker and Madrid aren't going to sell their only striker.
 
Yes, well you would think that, wouldn't you, after all, no one buys any new players after 7 August, do they? 3 1/2 weeks before the transfer window closes.

Get a grip, ffs!

It's not really about the time, more the fact that some of the issues we have to solve are self-inflicted, as a result of decisions made by LVG/the club, which they would have known about last season. Terrible management that we are still going into the season with goalkeeping situation unresolved and looking light upfront after releasing two strikers. Awful.
