The corollary of this thread (players we were linked with that you wish we HAD signed) would be at 1000 pages by now btw…
Stop using fancy words. Speak normal.

Just have to say it feels wrong to agree with UpTheGinnalz, second guessed myself several times but what's right is right.
We should/could have got an actual no9 with pace/good movement to play with Özil. Didn’t have to be Higuain, I’m sure there were candidates we could have afforded.
We would have been bloody brilliant.
You’ve spent way too much time with @OnlyOne
Nah I didn't, Higuain was only ever seriously linked the summer we got Özil. We were close by all accounts until Napoli sold Cavani and blew our bid for Higuain out the water.You’ve invented a false dichotomy though in order to agree with him so I’d be questioning your sanity.

This is it exactly. Wouldn't have taken much to find a better finisher than Giroud at that time.
Higuain was a bottler but he was reliable in the league them days, 36 in 35 in the league for Napoli is crazy. Özil was a brilliant player but I'd rather Cazorla Wilshere etc share the burden of creativity behind a top striker than have a donkey ahead of Özil.
Choice between a great steak which you have to eat with your bare hands or a silver platter and golden spoon and get a serving of steaming dogshit. Neither is ideal but one is worse

Remember how Wilshere put up pictures of Higuains wife in the dressing roomThe fact he all but wanted to come makes it worse!!

Remember the title run in 89 may be a bit before your time?This is Arsenal fan Andrew, on two possible Arsenal targets, both named Andrew.
Andy Townsend.

When George Graham was Arsenal manager, believe that he was interested in signing Andy Townsend from Chelsea. Andy was good at what he did, could have been a good signing. Think Roy Keane would have been a better target, when he was at Nottingham Forest.
Andy Sinton.

Believe that George Graham was interested in Andy Sinton from QPR. The left winger could also play at left back. Could have been a good reliable signing. Would he have had the same Cult Hero Status as Anders Limpar?
Wenger decided on that in the end, so it's an L on him
