    Dear Steve

    I know you are not keen on me, but I promise to bust a gut and give my all, and am determined to prove you wrong.

    Regards

    Joe

    Don't understand the love for Arnautovic

    Can't say I've followed him too closely but according to what I've heard on stoke pages he's only really had 1 really good season, the others he's been a bit ordinary and they all seem pretty happy with him leaving for £25mil odd

    I'm hugely underwhelmed by the prospect of Arnautovic.

    Excited by prospect of Hernandez and Hart to add to Zab.

    With arny I'm concerned that for the second season in a row a team around us has profiteered greatly off the back of selling one of their supposed better players to us. Ayew certainly didn't hit the straps and I'm fearful arny might be deja vu - the one plus side is he is (from what we can tell) very keen to join us and that has to be a plus point. Given the choice though I'd have preferred someone like Theo

    But Theo is as injury prone as AC do how does that work? ;hmm

    In my dreams it proves to be an inspired signing. ;lol

    How long does it take for a medical and to announce hart as a signing? Do I go to bed tonight?
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    It is probably written into his sponsorship contract that he needs to be properly coiffured for any photographs

    At least our one signing looked decent yesterday... ;phew

    Fail - No 1 of 2 strikers signed before first Pre-Season game.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Sampdoria bid £6m for Wilshere. Got to be worth a go. More talented than all our central midfielders combined.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Also on the treatment table more than all our central midfielders combined

    How is that a fail? What relevance is the first pre-season game?

    But his injury record over the last five years is worse than Carroll's. You can't at the same time hope Wilshere will suddenly be fit all the time and yet write Carroll off as somebody who never will be, when their records are the same.

    I think the finances are the key. Plus the status of Carroll. Carroll is deemed our star striker and No.1 when fit. He cost a club record fee at the time and is on reasonable wages.

    Wilshere would be an attractive signing as he would cost a lot less due to his injury record and would be competing with 3 others for CM. Our season would not crumble with him unavailable, in the same way it seems to do with Andy. A lot of emphasis is often placed on Andy by the club.

    And if Jack did stay fit and play 25+ games. That's some player on our hands.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Our season might not crumble but there's still a high chance a lot of the time his wages will be going down the drain.

    And his wages will be high.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    I'm not even sure what it is that makes Wilshere so talented. Is it being a good passer in a side surrounded by good passers and exceptional movers?

    What did he do at Bournemouth last season?
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    That 6M had 15m in add ons from the title I saw.

    Injury record aside, did he really stand out for Bournemouth last season?

    However, if we went in for him I wouldnt be against it (ignoring add ons) at 6M. At that price you cant really get much of a player these days (especially one with his pedigree).

    I think I just talked myself into it ;puzzled ;wahoo

    Rather we spent the money on a forward than on a midfielder
