We've signed some players, but are they really big names?

Nobody else was in the hunt for Giroud and Podolski is coming off one of his worst runs of form ever. We're not chasing after big stars that can win you a title.

Vertonghen should have been ours with his connection to Vermalaen, but he's a Tottenham lock. M'Vila negotiations have broken down. We still haven't signed a coveted player since probably Arshavin in 2009.

Giroud was wanted by Chelsea but chose Arsenal instead. Podolski was wanted by a few Serie A teams. Why would we want to spend the money it will take to buy Vertonghen to be a 3rd or 4th choice CB? Why do you think he choose Spuds in the first place? It was because he didn't want to compete for a first team place. M'Vila negotiations probably has to do with his poor attitude and his involvement with whole France national team debacle that placed him in the company of Nasri, Menez, and Ben Arfa.

Giroud was coveted by some other big squads, same with Podolski. M'Vila apparently fell through because he's a punk and it's not like people are bending over backwards to sign him.
