So of our 3 reported CB targets - Vermaelen and De Vrij gone elsewhere. Hummels is an absolute pipe-dream and was always unattainable..
 
It's not a good thing if the manager isn't getting in the players he wants.
I don't think he will be too happy. No chance can we go into the new season without another centre back. I didn't want vermaelen personally but we are clearly struggling to get the players he wants.
 
Benatia would be an amazing signing. Hope we go all in for him, even if we need to pay 30-40m for him. He's the one defender "available" who is top class (Hummels isn't available)
 
So from the past few pages we have lost out on Vermaelan and are going after Di Maria, Vidal, Cuadrado and Benatia amongst others.... Alright then.
 
Vermaelen would've been perfect with 3 CBs. Really gutted that we're missing out on him. Benatia of course would be a huge upgrade on him, but honestly who still believes the shit Woodward talks. He managed 2 signings, one with a release clause, another with paying great wages and nearly no competition, because of the price tag.

I'm still so optimistic for next season but Woodward has officially screwed up. Vermaelen was on LVG list and he couldn't get it done in time before Barcelona got into the mix and giving Arsenal a better option to sell to.

He has screwed up cause we missed on Vermaelen? I dont think so, quite the contrary, I'm glad we wont buy him.
And how do you know he was on LVG's list?

Barca were reportedly in first, our interest delayed it being finalised. That's one transfer I wouldn't blame Woody for messing up on.
 
How could he screw up? Arsenal were always going to ask clubs abroad if they want him and would prefer to do business with them. Plus the player himself has chosen them.

Should he put a gun to his head next time?
