I really am trying hard, apart from the obvious latent homosexuality flowing freely throughout this place, to understand all the love for this Arsenal bench warmer that has hardly been a world beater throughout his career.
We just sold one of the best strikers around. Is this our ambition as a replacement?
One of the "best strikers around" left us because he wanted to play CL games...as most of the "best players around" tend to want. We can not offer CL at this time and need at least a season to show we can even challenge for a chance at CL given our more recent league finishes.
How do you suppose we get another "best striker around" to join our team when we can't offer what they want?
As for me, I am approaching this year with my feet firmly on the ground, but head in the clouds.
