Aye, attacking players of any real quality are out of our reach at the moment. That said, there's a few teams who survived with strikers who didn't score a huge number of goals. We've been decent from set pieces under Benitez, and we've plenty of wingers now, so hopefully the rest of the team can help out on that front. It'll take a gamble on a player from the lower or foreign leagues paying off before we see a 15 goal a season striker at St James' imo.


Which is why I mentioned the other factors, which included competitiveness. Seen with Leicester, it takes more than just 1 league title to be able to attract the big boys.

He's decent, the Arsenal fans are frustrated he didn't get more opportunities under Wenger and most importantly, he's better than what we've got and is available for c£13m which in todays market doesn't get you a lot.

Yeah, probably, but I was just showing that Arsenal fans were frustrated that he didn't get enough chances and think he's decent.

Either way, he looks decent, and is likely better than what we've got, which was the point I was making.

I'd imagine if he's as decent as people believe he won't be short of offers from better placed clubs.

Do you think you're in a position to spend that amount on a player?
 
His comments today arent great, he's being a bit of a moan of late, ive stated im not a big fan of Benitez but fuck me just get on with it man.

Surely he knew his budget?

He will stay, he wants us to do well but we dont have the money so he needs to knuckle down and prove he is a decent manager.big season , success is staying up , don't give a shite what anyone says.
