Can't be sure of course, but this is how I see it as well. Any celeb who isn't careful with who and where they engage in sexual activities can easily be roped into a "rape" case.

Anyhoo, Remy seems like a pretty nifty striker. At the very least he'll provide some pace and movement upfront.

If he can add a bit of desire to the aforementioned qualities, I'm all for signing him.

Feel free to read up on the incident and make up your own mind afterwards, but it certainly wasn't some groupie who wanted to make coins out of a story. That's one of many things that I find very troublesome with this case.

Anyway, there are so many players we can sign this summer. There's little need to go for a 28 year old who's at least a tier below the quality we're looking for.

Diego Costa, Luke Shaw and Stephan Lichtsteiner would make me a happy Klaus this summer.

lorddulaarsenal

You not happy klaus?

Klaus

I've been a sad, sad Klaus ever since we threw away the January window.

lorddulaarsenal

Head to the cupboard reach for a donut then pick up the phone n hit redial chap

I'd be happy with one signing in the entire window, Cavani. If we got him, then the rest would sort itself out over time.

QuincyAbeyie

If we got Cavani, the rest of the world would sort itself out. World peace, America's economy, Gervinho's hairstyle.. Everything.

Griezmann doesn't look outrageously skilled or anything (and if we can get somebody like Reus we should take the chance), but he's productive and has a knack for being at the right place at the right time. His movement would suit us, his finishing is solid, and he scores those little instinct six-yard box goals that nobody in the squad scores atm. It would allow us to pair a runner-goalscorer in Walcott/Griezmann with a dribbler-midfielder in Chamberlain/Wilshere on the wings. Sell Podolski, make Cazorla a backup for Ozil. £15m net.

I don't know about Remy. I know the rape trial was thrown out eventually (due to lack of technical evidence) and that he has to be considered innocent from a juridical perspective, but the whole incident stinks when you read up about it. I'd rather not have him around at all because I don't think I could ever get behind him as a player.

I'll have to read up on it because I'm not too familiar with what happened. There were rumours of him being a bit of an idiot in France so that might be why Wenger has never made a move for him.

I should also point out that Remy will be bought in addition to a top class striker not as our only striker. He offers something very different and think he could be an effective player for us. At £8m he'd be very good business imo but there could be more than meets the eye with him.

--------------------------Costa/Giroud/Sanogo-------------------------
Griezmann/Chamberlain-----Ozil/Cazorla-----Wilshere/Walcott
-----------------Arteta/Flamini------Ramsey/Rosicky----------------
Gibbs/Monreal--Koscielny/Vermaelen--Mertesacker--Sagna/Jenkinson
---------------------------Szczesny/Viviano-----------------------------

Only two players to sign (along with a backup GK). Sell Podolski and this costs £50m. Huge improvement without too much turnover. Who knows who starts out wide here. I'm still in denial about Sagna. Summer 2015 buy a center back and a holding midfielder.

Kurtz

So you see Wilshere as first choice RM/RF I see? Hmmmm....

innervisionscm

Could have been whoever. Those spots would have to be earned. Wilshere/Chamberlain can also play in CM when needed of course.

Has anyone seen a bit of Aubameyang this season? Is he any good? I saw his first few appearences for Dortmund and thought he looked interesting. Should we have gone for him?

Absolutely not. He's average.

he's a pace merchant, wouldn't want him at arsenal.

Clrnc

Which is coincidentally what we are lacking so badly this season. His finishing is great as well.

He would hands down score more goals than Giroud this season.

Claudius

Aubeyamang who has 13 goals in Bundesliga would suddenly score much more than Giroud in Premier League?

Clrnc

He hasn't played much this season and already got 13 goals, from the wings.

Lets get the shitty transfers sorted out nice and quickly. Sign Caulker to replace Vermaelen when Cardiff go down and pick up Jaaskalainen on a free to replace Fabianski. If Sagna extends thats basically the defence sorted and we can concentrate on getting a top notch striker and midfielder.
