I think the simpler explanation is that we had Walcott on a new contract, and we had also invested in Chamberlain for the future.

Money had been spent on those two in the longer perspective and we had enough quality to make Champions League qualification. Källström was brought in on the cheap as some extra padding in the squad, just to make sure.

The overly conservative approach of the club can drive you mad sometimes. We've missed out on a few players now that had Wenger written all over them in big red letters.

Maddening mate. So much good done, but undone by that lack of real ambition at the end.

Penalty!

Torres is such a tonker

Outside the box, justice done.

Bloody Torres

Woeful penalty.

Torres is out to screw them over this CL campaign. How he's still revered at that club is simply beyond me. In addition to being disloyal he's also utter shit.

wanted to praise Torres for how he's turned his career around ffs

We're talking about a spell of two good months in like five years. It was always a very small purple patch.

Boy would it sting for Atletico now if Bayern find a goal here.

It doesn't make any sense. I would like to think perhaps Griezmann wouldn't contemplate leaving Spain or something but that's very unlikely. It's not like Wenger wouldn't have watched him dozens of times for the French national youth sides.

It's the reason we don't sign loads of players I reckon, we have x, y, z so I won't bother signing a. Just not ruthless enough.

Koke is such a smart player, top 5 CM in the world

Scary how young he still is. He's been around for ages!

He's been great for them this season

He hasn't been great by any stretch of imagination. He had scored two goals by February.

What happened to this Correa kid? Thought he was supposed to be the next Aguero?

Younger than Wilshere and plays like he's about 30

By SEVEN days.
