Giroud on fire in pre season, looks to have done some work on his finishing.

Well Ladies and Gentleman , Zelalem is a Superstar in the making, the New Fabregas.

Who's been watching the preseason games?

Giroud, Ramsey and Zelalem have impressed me so far.

Speaking of Zelalem, he is insanely good for someone who's only 16. Will definitely be getting game time in the CC if we get some lower division clubs. I had heard his ability on the ball was impressive for someone so young but i had no idea he had that sort of vision or creativity.

That outside of the foot pass to Eisfeld against Indonesia was something else.

What a ball for Walcott, this dude is the new Fabregas, its 3 nil with 25 mins to go.

plus The White Drogba has figured out how to play striker again.

3-1 fulltime.

Pretty meh game overall. Ramsey was great in the first half while Zelalam, again, was great in the second. Couple of awesome through balls, one which was put away for a goal.

Thought Gnabry did well too. Probably the most threatening of the wingers. Theo and Jack were shit. Jack's just coming back from injury though so he's got an excuse. Walcott was fcking up chance after chance. Somehow managed to fluff a 4 on 1. The man's a genius when he's having an off day.

Zelalem vs Nagoya.

Obviously the Walcott pass stands out but there's another where he puts Akpom through which is decent too.

We have smashed Juventus in the race for Higuain. He is our #1 target and all indications are player, selling club and buying club are all in agreement. He will be on the plane for our preseason trip.

After he is wrapped up next up is Fellaini.

If we add those two I think we become a genuine title contender because they are precisely what we need. Our defense is good. If we let in the amount of goals we let in last season we can win the league on a number like that.

What we need is a big tall strong midfielder to balance out the smaller guys like Wilshere and Cazorla. And our major need is a genuine top class striker. Fellaini and Higuain are ideal.

What happened to signing Higuain? He's having a medical at Napoli...

This is why BM should be banned from being an Arsenal fan, although it is quite annoying to miss out on Higgy, the way RM conducted Buisness on this deal was Stupid.

RM say 21 Mill, Arsenal Meet price, RM then ask for 24 mill, Arsenal meet price, RM hold out on accepting until new coach is introduced. Once CA is unveiled the Price all of a sudden Becomes 37, which is way over the top.

Good Luck is his time at Napoli, they building a lovely squad over there.

We are the only club who is even close to Liverpools offer. Suarez wants us, it's just a matter of closing the distance between our offer of 40 and Liverpools valuation of 50. Hopefully a formal transfer request from Suarez and some addons thrown in bridges the gap between the parties.

I think we need a bit of nasty in us. We've been too nice too often and it has cost us games and trophies. We crumbled in 2011 when we had a real chance at winning the league in the run home. We've crumbled countless times in cups.

Being a bit nasty could have been the difference between winning and losing to Barca in 2011, Milan in 2012 and Bayern in 2013.

Suarez is a dog, and I think we need some of that.

And as nice as they were it didn't stop RVP and Fabregas leaving us. So I'm not attached to individual players as much anymore. All I care about is improving our chances at winning the league, and Suarez does that.

We've moved onto bigger and better targets.

No smart club would pay 37 for Higuain when 40 or a little more than 40 will get you Suarez.

Even though you said earlier Higuain would be a world class striker and be the key to a premiership winning team....

But now that he is unavailable, oh, he wasn't worth it in the first place.

:lol:

He is unavailable because a stupid club came along and paid stupid money.

If we matched them we would have got him. But we chose not to because we feel an even better player is available for not much more.
