How Arsene should find a striker + other bits

It’s not complicated. Boot up Football Manager, go to Player Search, and do this:
Then whoever comes up, bid a bit more than he’s worth and it’ll all be fine. Or maybe try that cheat where you bid loads to get your offer accepted then reduce the fee at the final minute. If that still works. I don’t know.
The problem is that Le Boss is still steadfastly refusing to buy a forward. What does Arsene have against players called Mario? First he flatly denies rumorus of interest in Balotelli, now he’s eliminating the possibility of us signing Croatian Mandzukic. Rumours that he has an interest in spiky Brazilian striker Bowser are as yet unconfirmed.
One player Arsenal have stated their intent to purchase, Samuel Galindo, might be a bit older than he claimed. I had this experience with a woman once. Whether Arsene pursues the same line of action as me remains to be seen, but I would warn him that dendrochronology doesn’t work as well with humans.
Philippe Senderos might be joining Celtic. Presumably in Scottish football Senderos would be deployed as a flair player, perhaps operating just behind the strikers.
Early team news for tomorrow’s game with Bolton tells us that both Denilson and Theo Walcott are back in contention, though I’d suggest that only the former is likely to start. Throwing Walcott straight back in would be like throwing a particularly flammable baby straight back in to a fire.
Till tomorrow, Gooners.
