Just wondering if anyone's ever read bollocks like this before? people need to understand this is like no other season not with the tv money pumped in. 30 million this season is like 20 million last season. personally, i think the sel hurst redevelopment stadium plans have stalled majorly and instead of doing nothing, the yanks have given a small tidy sum on top of what we already have for transfers

Just wondering if anyone's ever read bollocks like this before? 'This is the crux of the issue when teams spend big. They spend for the sake of spending, and Palace may well be falling into the trap. After an astute addition of Steve Mandanda, Pardew then focused his attention on Andros Townsend, who was signed last week, and Cristian Benteke, two decent, but far from world class, players. However, in pursuing Benteke in particular, Palace have bid way over the odds. Upping the bid to £31.5 million is insanity for a player who is good, but nothing more. This is exactly what Arsenal cannot afford to do this Summer. In spending money, they must have the utmost confidence in the quality of the player, rather than spending simply to satisfy the urge of the fans. It is an urge that Arsenal, mainly due to the philosophies of Arsene Wenger, have resisted in the past. They will need to do so again if this Summer is to be considered a success. Quality is the aim, not quantity.' This idiot clearly doesn't know: a) the problems we had after December and b) how ridiculous Arsenal look each season. Fail to add a player or 2 and fail to win the league. The worst was the Suarez debacle. Sign him and they would go some to never win the title with him in their team. Clearly an Arsene rimmer. He's been torn apart by 3 posts at the bottom, it's only been online for 2 hours and those 3 posts have just been posted. Each team's predicament will be slightly different.

Yeah we must be inundated with calls because we're about to increased our bid, for what, the 4th time is it now? Steve Parish: "I'm going back in with £31.5 mil. Okay?" Steve Long: "Steve, where are those calls from agents touting the world's talent? Steve Parish: "What calls?" Steve Long: "The calls Matthau and the Ginger Pubic Wig on HOL said we've been inundated with from agents." Steve Parish: "Placate the pant wetters during the sh1t run we had, Steve." Steve Long: "Oh well played." Edited by Rudi Hedman (05 Jul 2016 9.55pm)
And I really wanted to laugh too!

My sense is that we will still be looking for at least one more striker or attacking goalscoring midfielder after this, otherwise we will be left with just two (very good) strikers for the season...

Wenger's 'philosophy' is his immense vanity that he is a genius coach that can spot and nurture otherwise ignored talent, and therefore doesn't need to go to market to complement his creative team building. Just like a bloke who thinks he's going to live forever and won't go to the doctor even if his head is falling off.

What's the score with Pato at Chelsea? I think he'd be an ideal third striker- very quick and if we're chasing a game we could put him up top with Wickham (or hopefully CB!) I would absolutely love to see Sigurdsson sign- would be a perfect foil for the wingers and forwards and is great from dead ball situations as well

So people keep saying. I'm not seeing any names though Pelle? I would say somewhere between Wickham and Benteke in terms of ability, and similar attributes to both. I'd imagine would be around the $15m and I wouldn't be at all disappointed to see him at Palace if Benteke didn't happen. (I think Benteke's worth more than $15m just for the avoidance of doubt).

Pelle is a player who needs the ball played to him, not to hardly ever run onto. Check his goals. Since when were palace players able to do that to a striker of ours : ) Benteke is a palace kinda player Pelle's comes across as a classic Italian swine - vain, stroppy and a bit up himself. Not keen.

That geezer that wrot the article about the gooders us and money is clearly a jealous fan or at least I hope he will be jealous later this week. He talks complete s***e. If we get Benteke which is what stems his envy we will have the most powerful forward line in the premier. Bolasie wick ham zaha Benteke Saha Townsend. Would you want to come up against that raw power. It is genuinely awesome.

Decent shout but: Pelle is a very good player but he is 31 next week, in all likelihood (but not certain) his best years are now behind him. The fee we would pay is dead money, no resale value at all. If he leaves Southampton I see him following Koeman. Lastly, Benteke can be a better a player than Pelle and has a better PL scoring rtecord
