re: Predicting Summer Transfers

Hopefully any respectful striker who can score goals to Chelsea

lol

Wait, your dad is friends with Wenger and is getting inside transfer information from him? Seems legit.

Take it for what you will but my father is good friends with Wenger. They grew up together in France. Anyway they were chatting of the phone the other day and it seems Arsenal are interested in him. Would definitely strengthen the midfield and upset Spurs

Um, no. We would pay far too much for him. I'm sure that Arsenal is interested, but that doesn't mean we will buy him. He doesn't fit the MO of Wenger's transfers. He's not the incisive AM we need. He's a great DLP who can dictate play, but in Ramsey, Arteta, and Wilshere, that's not a position we need to reinforce, just yet. If we were to get a DLP to replace Arteta for the future, I'd hope we'd target someone like Kevin Strootman, or Ivan Rakitic. If we do get him, that will be hilarious, but I'm skeptical. Considering how tight-lipped Wenger has been about transfers, I seriously doubt he would tell anyone, even close childhood friends from his days when he frolicked between Strasbourg and his parents bistro, La Croix d'Or.

ETA: I just read the rest of this thread. Decent troll.
