There would also be a fee with Defoe. Bournemouth aren't just going to let him go to another Premier league team for wages alone.

How would a loan for Defoe scrap the wage structure? It's 5 months of 100k a week. He isn't signing on a long term contract. Effectively a £2.5 million outlay to try and score some goals As it happens I think he's past it now but I'd be looking at doing similar with someone who isn't That's not how a wage structure works. It's £100k a week, an amount we supposedly won't pay and will have said to existing player's agents and likely in negotiations going forward. 100k a week for a guy who can't get game time at Bournemouth somehow that does not make sense to me on that kind of money he should be first choice.

£2.5m punt? There will be better value than Defoe if we're even considering such a move...

I would say the guy is winding down and getting well paid to do so good luck to him as been a great player.

Just looked on Arsenal forum, we're we really as shite has they make out? No, we weren't. Had to have a look myself, this is the sort of things they think..... "You can go out there and compete without resorting to what more than borders on cheating. They alternated between putting in awful tackles, diving and staying on the floor for no reason. I'm never going to respect that. It's one thing to be outmatched and park the bus. I even understand being a little physical. To basically have your defining tactic be laying on the floor feigning injury is repulsive. If that's the best they've got to offer then they should f*ck off down to the Championship now and let a team with some dignity take their place. I've never seen such a sorry display, even in cup matches against teams 2 and 3 divisions lower." Unbelievable....

Have you monkeys not learned anything about Wagner's time in charge? That's not how we operate.. We sign young potential players..on a budget With something to prove.. Sometimes it works. Schindy..mooy..kachunga.. Sometimes it doesn't.. Diakhaby..Mbenza... We will sign either a championship striker or a foreigner you've never heard of.. It's what we do..

Some of the stuff you read on forums/social media makes you think people should need a license to publish their views 😉 Blinkered idiot.......just like I was when we played Burton.

Just because Wagner likes to play 3 CMs in the middle, it doesn't mean we can't be more adventurous and play 2 CMs and 1 AM instead. Afterall, Pritchard has played his entire career as an AM. We badly need creativity in midfield and we desperately need pace up front. Playing Pritchard deeper and Mbenza/Diahkaby/VLP up front may be the final piece of the jigsaw. nonsense. If Town were playing s 4231 then Pritchard would play well in the 10 position. if we are playing 3511 and your asking for Pritchard to play as on of the 8's then I am certain Pritchard would get lost and fans would ask why he had a poor game. he skills set isn't best used from that centre midfield position. I often feel you choose as if it were fantasy football or a computer game. MBenza/Diahkaby/VLP up front? given none are able to receive to hold the ball up from a direct ball and all play running onto a ball in front then our game would collapse. Given that 2 of the players are no where near the match day squad as they are not performing in training, how do you think they are going to do on matchday? Wagner has always demonstrated that he picks on merit and not names or favourites. He sees the players everyday and will far better information to make a judgement than you or I. fantasy football manager sim I think. All 3 would make the runs Pritchard looks for when he has the ball, the 2 strikers we have struggle to hold the ball up so it wouldn't alter much that way but may give us a different option

We were the ones putting in the awful tackles and diving, yet they ended up with more bookings than us including three for diving. (Congratulations Arsenal for that new PL record, by the way..). The mind of the football fan is a strange place....

I was screaming at the screen when Mooy was booked. Not till later I realised their guy had been booked for diving.
