* "Warchest" to spend on transfers -Jan 2012 - Only Eisfeld, Henry (Loan) -Summer 2012 - Broke even after Song and RVP Sales -Jan 2013 - Only 6-8M on a Left back * Mental Strength -Crashing with full to near full strength teams out of 2 cups to lower league opposition -Run of horribly poor 1st half performances -Bottling it against the "bigger" teams * We will only sign super quality players that improve our squad -Park, Santos, Gervinho, Giroud???
"We are ready to spend big" Some of Wengers best phrases are summed in the sadly-funny-because-it's-true Arsenal Transfer Bingo: http://www.7amkickoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/transfer-bingo.jpg
Giroud's a reasonable player but I think he's a bit too little, too late. Had he been bought to supplement RvP, he would have been great but he's no replacement, I'm afraid.
its gong to be very hard to replace RvP with just 1 guy, but Giroud has done reasonably well for his 1st season and I feel that he would benefit so much more if deployed in a 4-4-2 with Theo/Pod
