i know Costa is effective as a second striker, but it seems unlikely they could nab both.

mandzukic is definitely leaving Bayern. we could do much worse.

No doubt could we do worse. Could we do better is the question.

What striker do y'all think Arsenal will most likely get other than Remy

No clue. It is Arsenal/Wenger we are trying to figure out.

I'd love Balotelli, I think Wenger and our locker room could handle his ego.

I would soooooo love Balo, but I'm not sure anyone can really deal with his ego. And he hates the English media so much I don't see him coming back to England.

Wenger is going to wait till after the WC to see how everything shakes out. Could be brilliant, could frick us if things don't break our way

No it's definitely going to frick us. The chance that players drastically increase in price after the WC is far greater than the chance that their price goes down.

I don't think Wenger is waiting on players he's waiting on other teams

I think he really wants Draxler. A higly skilled and pacy wing type player to move inside like Henry and Van Persie. It won't happen, but he would be perfect.

i would be pretty satisfied if we got mandzukic. balo has amazing potential, but that's also a huge question mark as to his ability to mesh/stay sane. he's much better than remy.

either of the two marios are the only two strikers who would really excite me out of the realistic possibilities. arsene is probably waiting on benzema though.

I really think we need to grab Griezmann now. I see him having a good WC. (but at the same time Real Sociedad might be saying no we're waiting til after the the cup)

3 caps
Ribery had the same going into 2006 and blew up. I agree.

Idk, but i was reading arseblog and this brought back memories.

Bergkamp

First Arsenal game I saw was the year before this, Bergkamp was my favorite player.

other than mayyyyybbbbeeee a striker (seems like we're again waiting for bigger pieces to move), i'm confused why we haven't done any business yet. however, like i said earlier, as long as the majority of business is done by the end of july, i'm fine with it. get them into camp and get them acclimated early. don't waste any time this time around.

Things like Kroos to Real or Mandzukic to Milan, both rumored to be in the works, open up moves for Balotelli and Khedira. There's still Reus and draxler rumors floating around, obviously Reus is hurt and I don't think draxler will receive that much PT. The only guy we're linked who I really want who's going to blow up is Griezmann who could from 20m to 30m very easily

Wait until after the World Cup so the prices are too high and you can say "eh the prices were too high"

true. i'm trying to be less cynical about his transfer dealings this year because i really think we're going to make some noise. maybe i'm just being too optimistic about the effect winning the FA Cup had in revitalizing AW.

i think the Drax move is dead. seems all but set he's staying at Schalke then will move to Bayern the year after. that's the dominant rumor right now at least.

Reus isn't happening. he'll go to barca eventually, but i think he'll be in dortmund for a few more years.
