Some fans really amaze me, a) by how stupid they are and b) how much football do they really watch? This applies not only to the fans, but some well known pundits, many who have worn the Arsenal shirt.
YaYa Toure
Who in their right mind thinks Toure will switch a 98 000 capacity stadium, a team coached by one of the best exponents of the position in the last 20 years for a team that is so much smaller? This is lazy transfer wishing, just because we have his brother Kolo, is this why he is constantly linked? Let us not kid ourselves, YaYa is the holding player because he has Iniesta and Xavi in his positions, it's like Petit who had to play in midfield because he had Blanc-Desailly-Lizarazu in his natural positions. Look at YaYa for the Ivory Coast, he plays with Zokora and is the creative hub of the team, at Monaco he was the same, so why would he play Fabregas' second fiddle when he is just as good in that role? Enough of the YaYa talk, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Giorgio Chiellini
A player who is playing for the most supported team in the world, has ambitions of emulating the achievements of other great defenders, spent an entire season in Serie B just to come to a foreign team when he has his whole career ahead of him? Wake up, this will not happen, the Juventus fans will kill the directors of Juventus, then kill Chiellini then come to London and target our top brass in the board. Enough of the Chiellini talk, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
David Villa
He looks like he will move, but why come to Arsenal, when he has Barcelona and Real Madrid both battling to sign him up. Both clubs have bigger stadiums, bigger exposure, bigger finances, and have a better chance of winning trophies every season, something our 5 year drought proves. Forget it, this is a guy who is among the Top 3 strikers in the last 5 years in Spain with Forlan and Eto'o, why pack that up and come to Arsenal? Enough of the Villa talk, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
The sooner we realise we cannot attract such players, the quicker we can realise just who we can.

If Wenger seriously wants his players to "believe" they are as special as he makes out, then a one off big signing is what he needs to prove they are at a big club. Ade looks like he will be attracting interest again, and if we can get 20 - 25 million for him then I don't see why we couldn't use that and some more money to lure David Villa to Arsenal. Yes it is unlikely, but it's precisely what we need and is doable. At the end of the day, the English league is bigger than Spain, that maybe reason enough to tempt Villa. He is likely to go to the club that shows the biggest interest and stumps up the cash the quickest. I know it won't happen, but it would be bloody brilliant if we did it though. If Liverpool could sign Torres, we can sign Villa... we just have to go for it. AS well as shoring up midfield and defense we need a serious striker... with Henry we'd the worlds best striker for a few years and to be the best we need one of the best strikers again.
