Fair enough, I just wonder if he'd still be playing top flight football if he had been at United from the start

league the
season he
won it
with United anyways, he was the hottest striker in the
league for those two
seasons, the only thing we lacked in his final
season at Arsenal was enough creativity behind him and a lack of suitable replacement to take ocassionally take the load off him, but then Cazorla, Poldi and Giroud had been brought in for re-inforcements, he played

No his 3seasons at Arsenal have shown clearly he's not good enough to lead us to the
title, in his whole career he's only had 1
season of 21 goals for Montpellier when they
won the
league we need more than that because Chelsea, Man City and Man U will get stronger
with new players!
One of the reasons why a lot of people in football were so hard on Arsenal for not
winning the Premier
League title last

But this has made me 100 percent sure that Wenger has given up on the
title already.He knows without a world class striker he won't
win the
league and he will stick
with his stubborn policy and would leave at the end of the
season, so thats that....
next
season has to be
title / double
with fa cup / cl semi at least or nothing else will do for me, wenger's had three summers including this summer now to try and bring in big names (and he has delivered in the last 2 summer windows) so that's more than enough time to build a first team capable of
winning the
league.
Yeah, Guardiola has his troops marching but look around, no one has performed sch in a steady way
with big 6 opponents and laim so called teams we get beat up by, won't name, useless... Man U is building slower because coming from way behind pas
season transition from Fergie, Chelsea slipped before to be Champions as CL nor any European football... Leicester Champions before that... To
win this
league, you have to
win with against all teams bellow BIG 6 now, then face those 5 teams for
title.
back to our current campaign and current player i will want to believe we have a chance at the
title but i am a realist is either vardy will have to be out for the rest of the
season with drink water, kante, mahrez and morgan that the chance we have of
winning the
league.
50 - 70 mil striker might
win you crucial games in EPL and CL... If we got that one we won't be knocked out every time from 16 - round of the CL, we might have taken the chances that we had against Utd and Chelsea...
With this type of thinking we lost our
title the
season before when we were top of the
league and I genuinely believe we lost that to City because we did not add striker as a main reason...
Kante has been one of the best players in the Premier
League in his short time in England,
winning the
title in each of his first two
seasons on these shores, first
with Leicester City and then last
season with Chelsea, when his all - action displays also earned him the PFA Player of the Year award at the end of the campaign.
Since the last day of the
season, i have been so devastated that i lost all desire for football seeing as we wont be in UCL and ManU
won the EL which gives them a slot in the CL I just do nt wan na imagine how i would feel if we lost to Chelsea, it would make this
season a huge failure... if we
win, we can at least count ourselves among clubs
with silverware (ManU, Chelsea, and other
leagues) ManU even have 3
titles...
With all the strange goings on this
season, I think there is a good chance that at least two of the players targeted by Arsenal for a transfer move to north London last summer will be regretting their decision, as both Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were wanted by Arsene Wenger after playing major parts in the amazing Premier
League title win of the Foxes.

This has to be his last season in charge along with Stan the Conman... Money needs put into this squad to get it to the next level and a different direction because in all honesty when we beat Bayern they just did nt take their chances like they did last night and they already had a great squad and added to it in the summer with Costa etc... we had a real chance this year if we had brought in more than Cech and that is Wengers

Returning to reality we came across the new
League leaders Man United, but somehow just blew them away in less than 25 minutes to lay down our real credentials as
title challengers, and followed that up

wins, including becoming the first team this
season to stop Bayern Munich
winning.

league again this
season I would not blame Hector if he went to a club

league title.

season at Leicester City as he looks to
