I thought Gustavo was amazing in Confed Cup. Guy works incredibly hard and makes very very well timed tackles. He can get forward a bit and pass the ball pretty well too.
If we need to be more defensive in a game, he'd be the guy to sub in/start over Ramsey/Arteta.
He averaged 42 passes per game in the Bundesliga, completing greater than 90%. I'd say he's a perfect fit.

I can see the scene in Wenger's home office going something like this
Replace mobile with water bottle only
Doubt it if we truly are happy with valuation of the player. Wages also wouldn't be a problem as we've saved 15-20m so far by getting rid of deadwood.

Ah right. So we've established that the players clearly wanted to win more than Blackburn. So that leaves Blackburn having better players or Wenger being a poor manager...

If you offered him similar terms to what Napoli offer him you should have no problem getting him. But I could understand if he went and joined Napoli.

We also signed Park Chu-Young and Santos for just over £10m... Just saying
Didn't we sign Cazorla really early on, before the window officially opened?
Statistically it is... but he was playing for a worse club most of his career, and with a less attacking mentality with most of his managers.

Well, people kept on going on about Bernard but Wenger denied it entirely. Obviously it should be someone though, Podolski seems either fantastic or just anonymous. At least he seems to track back though. I wouldn't be confident with him leading the line if Giroud isn't playing though.. perhaps that's why we have Sanogo
Podolski is a really good finisher (most of the time), but his movement and positioning is ****!
IMO Carrick's nothing special. If he played for Arsenal people would keep calling him sh*t (Like Ramsey) (Even though he's not)

Then you need shooting, with the rest of the peons. If he played for Arsenal people would be calling him Arteta.
Happy, GC?

I don't know who Park or Santos are...
No it was Podolski. Giroud and Cazorla came in later in the summer.

Carrick has improved massively the past few years, turned into a very good player
Carrick from 2006-09 was very good player too, after CL finals he was average for a year. Apart from that he was always very good and it was surprising that it took so long to get recognition.
His performance against Inter in 2008-09 CL was just superb and lauded in Italian press but nothing in English press.

He has always been a good player, but not a great one IMO... in the last few seasons, particularly last season he has really upped his game
one of the better deep lying play makers about now
