Yeah. Totally best thing ever so Wenger will go panic buy and we'll have more deadwood for our squad to leech us for a few years. Brilliant.
I wanted Ox to get playing time. Not going to happen with 7 midfielders in the squad.
eh, not all of his panic buys have been bad. Mertesacker and Arteta were absolutely crucial signings, but that didn't stop Wenger from dragging his feet up until the very last day of the window before pulling the trigger. And now they're the closest thing we have to key players.
As long as the Ox stays a winger, he'll have no problem getting minutes w/ Gervinho gone. We're a bit short on wide players with everyone and their mother wanting to play through the middle; but I think Ox is more proven on the wing and should keep playing there, regardless of what Wenger and him think his long-term future is.
We definitley don't need to buy any non-DM midfielders though imo, we've got so many youngsters waiting in line. We need a forward, a defender or two, a DM, a GK. we needed that at the start of the summer, and we still need all of those. If Wenger willingly doesn't sign any of those, his position is untenable as far as I'm concerned.
