So it begins – Ya Ya Sanango from Auxerre on a FREE!
Wow, Wenger has his own way of sticking two fingers up at Arsenal fans and the media! Even if Arsenal eventually buy Huguain Rooney and Fellaini , the last news fans need to know now is that we have signed yet another French starlet nobody from a second division French club on a free. Arsenal’s PR machine are on par with our Medical team – useless, the lot!
This all smacks of Wengers stubborn narcissism, which I know I keep harping on about, but always seems relevant especially when transfers are involved . The icing on the cake for us long suffering fans will be the announcement of a new improved deal for Mr Wenger himself. Talk about a slap in the face.
Arsenal have been linked with everyone from Rooney to Ronaldo. Our laughable so-called warchest of £70m seems able to stretch to buy everyone, yet so far all we have managed to buy is what Wenger hopes to be Henry’s long lost cousin with twice his ability . That way Wenger gets his crown back from Pardew as the father of discovering french jewels. Arsenal save another fortune, we might manage 4 th again, and the world seems right.
I’m not going to continue to prophesize doom, even though it may seem I’m entirely down on the club – I’m really not, just trying to be realistic about what has been going on. Arsenal will buy players, hopefully some of the ones bandied about for the last month, especially Fellaini! But it is going to be a painfully long pregnancy for fans before our new stars are born, and I’m going to for once stick my neck out and predict, Gonzalo Higuain and Maroune Fellaini.
Hopefully the Arsenal war chest can stretch to central defense we so desperately need, now that Squillaci has been thrown from the top of the Emirates – the fastest he’s moved for 3 years! Wenger paid £6m for Squillaci, yet believes Ashley Williams to be overpriced at £10m? One can only shake one’s head. This is where Tony Adams would have been helpful as part of Wenger’s team.
