And as this was the first start of the Ox since the opening day of the season... I could say that The
Ox is like a new signing.
I mean, he has not even said anything about how hard it is to find players, or alluded to one of our current stars on the injury list
being like a new signing when they are fit again.
Yes he did believe that, every season Wenger says
Diaby is like a new signing and he never signed the DM we required because of this belief!
Wenger will tell us Welleck will
be like a new signing in January, and then in February he will have another setback until the end of the season.
We can't expect to compete with United, Chelsea and Citeh by them greatly increasing quality in their squad and us just getting a Cech and saying Walcott, Wilshere and
Ozil are like NEW signings because of injury last season.
The Arsenal fans have been telling Arsene Wenger this sort of thing for years, we even have our in jokes about the things he says such as fit again
players being like a new signing, but the boss does not seem to be listening.
We obviously haven't seen that much of him due to the bad injury, but I thought he was just starting to get going when he was ruled out and he'll
be like a new signing again next season.
And once the transfer window is over, we'll find out we almost signed Aubameyang, Benzema, Icardi, James, Mbappe and Belloti, but finally settled on Welbz and Giroud, especially since
Welbz is like a new signing, we'll see Sanchez in Bayern and Ozil who knows where.
We could have won the league a few times if he had taken his head out of his bony a ** e and actually strengthened the team beyond his delusions of those on long term
sick being like a new signing (when / if they come back from injury).
I've seen Abou Diaby play and he's capable of covering both of those positions... I know I told the fans that he would
be like a new signing last time but this time I'm sure of it because of our new world - class medial staff....
I will happily bet my house that Wenger will state that Iwobi is the next Tierry Henry so no striker is needed and that Wilshire being an injury
recovery is like a new signing (A la Diaby) there wont be any new signings of note and they wont care if we as fans do our bollocks or not cos they know theres NOTHING we can do
Cazorla is the one who ll
be like a new signing if he returned in January but sadly we ll be lucky if he returns in March.
If we get rid of «We have enough depth in the squad / Clubs don't want to sell / We didn't find quality in the market / I am against January transfer period / Players don't want to switch clubs in January / It's hard to transfer before the World Cup / * & ^ %
$ is like a new signing», we will get our wanted players.
If Mr wenger is unable to sign a Striker today, after the international break when Welbeck will be back... He will come - out and say «
welbeck is like a new signing» Happy new Month to you all.
I would sell him without hesitation but don't see that happening... I just hope that wenger doesn't use it as excuse not to strengthen attacking options... That's what he did last summer in DM position with his silly talk of
Diaby being like a new signing... it cost us challenging for the title this year and history sadly might well repeat itself with predictable consequences
It's all about getting back into the Champions League for Spurs this season and the return of Sandro will
be like a new signing for the club, after he missed a large chunk of last season due to injury, and his class in a deeper defensive role is crucial for the attacking midfielder ready to fill Bale's boots.
* Did not sell any of our top players * Loaned out more players to aid development (Sanogo probably the only one who will nver come back) *
Campbell is like a new signing, taking over the baton from Diaby * We have shit loads of cash for Winter Transfer to help in areas where needed (CDM, Stiker)
My personal non-favourite, though, is the one about a player coming back from
injury being like a new signing, so Wenger has outdone himself this week by saying just that about not one but two Arsenal stars.
