You buy a project and a mid-table player for that, while this could have been spent on one truly great player. If we hadn't signed Bakayoko, Matic would have possibly stayed... would we really have been worse off with Matic still here + a world class winger/wing-back? I say we'd be infinitely better, but such logic goes over the board's head. Instead we basically split Matic into 2 inferior players and paid £40m extra to do that. This is so fucking stupid I can't fathom it. Unionjack, Mufassir08 and King11Didier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we spent £80m on Bakayoko and Drinkwater. Why all of us fans can see this but the club can't is the most annoying thing. We could make a really good run at the CL and very realistically finish 2nd in the PL with a couple of really good signings. They're content with mediocrity though.

OneMoSalah 9,122 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Pizy said: I'd take Giroud in a heartbeat as our backup striker but I'm not sure he sees himself as such. That's why he wants out of Arse, no? He'd be in the same situation here as he is there. Maybe a few more opportunities. He could probably return to France and be the main man, though. Really, the only reason we even signed anyone this month was because it had been in the works for months and Barkley cost peanuts. I'll be very surprised if anyone else comes in or goes out. I'd take him here as well but like you said hes wanting out because he doesn't play a lot. He has got a really good skillset, strong in the air, great at linking up with midfield and other forward players and the last few years he has seemed to add a more killer instinct to his game, although my mate who supports Arsenal, disagrees at times haha. I doubt many other bargains will be available this month though. Although a bid of 15m for Luke Shaw or Stefan de Vrij (if Luiz goes) could maybe be decent options? de Vrij is avaliable on a free for the summer I'm sure...

11Drogba 2,000 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 We made a decent signing finally. Fans should have been happier about Ross Barkley joining. I think we'll be more effective in the market now that Emenalo is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this thought seeing as Roman is after us having a 'English' (Homegrown??) core that he might just bring in old lads like JT,Lamps,Drogs and nake them a lind of general joint Sporting Director,academy coach head of scouts But Ive been known to be wrong before lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
