Someone/Media picked up on the call and are milking it for clicks.

If it continues on this current course, this summer we'll probably have a negative net-spend once Campbell gets sold. Wenger has the money, no matter how highly he rates his players it's also part of his job to find improvement on the market. Failing to do so should also count as his failure. Just like how he failed to address CB and DM situation last summer and cost us.

You nailed it. That is my point exactly. Failing to address issues every summer is inexcusable and this summer is make or break for us.

Seems the only logical explanation.
We are doing the groundwork here, talking to the agents of players on our shortlist. This is the way Arsenal do work now; keep quiet and react when something interesting happens.
Just wish the fanbase would stay calm and have faith too. Based on our last two-three transfer windows and the signing of Cech why would you not trust Wengers judgement?

You're absolutely right, Wenger ought to be p45'd with immediate effect! He clearly hasn't the ambition to force the wealthiest club in the world to sell one of their most valuable assets. By your logic (not just yours by the way), Arsène bottled it when Torres went for £50m, De Bruyne's a decent talent why aren't we forking out the £60m? or the £90m for Pogba? What a disgrace Wenger is!
Why is it so difficult to accept that Arsenal, although undoubtedly the most respectably run 'big club', do not have a divine right to win everything all the time?
Good evening all, I have 'lurked' for years. I just couldn't resist the bait being that we all (including Wenger) want this calibre of signing. Bit like we all want 'that mansion', trouble is life aint that straight forward, a lesson these young gooners will no doubt find out with terrible fright.

We dont conduct our business in public - there wont ever be a credible link. The transfer forum has three purposes.
1: Sharing news about other clubs transfers
2: A wishlist forum camouflaged as "transfer news"
3: helps us pass the time until the season starts
when clubs like city-chelsea-united or pool are after a player it will be leaked because they want to unsettle the player - classless ****s

You clearly don't get the point. We NEED. world class striker. I'm all for spending smart we don't shell out for overrated players in poisitions we don't need. But benzema for 45 -50 mil is a massive bargain.we are the mighty arsenal 13 league titles your telling me we shouldn't have the dream of competing for a ****ing league title for once in 11 years?

We might not be after Benzema (making bids), but I think we're on the situation. I think Wenger wants the player but he's waiting to see if Benzema's situation at Real changes.

Benzema loves Madrid, he has always said it, but it doesn't mean that they'll keep him.
If Benitez wants him as a sub he'll leave, if not this summer then in January. And hopefully, Arsène sold him on our project. #believe

Indeed Benzema at 45-50 m is a deal worth persuing although I would stop short of massive bargain, being that he could break his leg on opening day, or simply, not perform. But how do we force Real, or Bayern to sell such rare commodities? What would be your alternative suggestion should both teams refuse? Do you not consider that City fans will be wishlisting Sanchez and wondering why we wouldn't sell for 5om? Or even Wilshere at £35m?
Would you have us sign PAE, or do 'business' with Aulas for Lacazette whom might just turn out to be the next.....Remy

Cross is saying Wenger wants a striker, doesn't want anything else, oh and Giroud has signed a new deal.

Lacazette looks good I wouldn't mind having him in the side. Definetly not PAE though. City fans wishlist them because all we did from 2009-2012 was sell them our players.

Huh, so assuming this is true, I guess that means that the extension Giroud was supposed to have signed last year was just "agreed" and its not actually a case of a second extension a year later.

Really..fighting..the urge.. to say.. something... negative... ahhhhh..
We'll be fine guys. Plenty of time to let this striker situation unfold. Even if it's not Benzema, maybe Wenger has something up his sleeve. People are forgetting it's so early in the window for us. No need to jump to conclusions about our signings (or lack of) just yet.

I'll be pissed off if we do only get a striker and once again neglect the midfield. Last summer Wenger cost us points due to not signing a CB and this year it looks like he's pinning our hopes on Coquelin playing 50 games next season.
When you've got £70m to spend, why risk it? Use the money and strengthen the squad where it needs strengthening.

in the years we havnt had a striker or even ****ing tried to sign a good one
Aguero got signed
Suarez got signed
Lewandowski got signed
Higuain got signed
Cavani got signed
just to name a few - even going after the young and clearly talented like Moratta was beyond what we deemed a good buy.
if we arent willing to fork out the cash needed for the best strikers we are going to have to gamble on players like Moratta and lacazette - but we arent doing that either.
it will be like the keeper situation - 11 ****ing years before by some lucky fluke a good striker ends up in our lap

But why not just clone Giroud for cheaper?
