Not fair :D I see the poll and before even reading any of the options I thought straight away it was Wilshere so voted as such. But yes Pellegrini is our best signing this Summer.

Head says Diop, heart says The General.

Too scared to vote in case they get injured. . .

Either way it's going to be a great season.

Never seen any of them play other than Fabianski and Wilshere. So on that basis it has to be Pellegrini.

Just one of many reasons why I didn't want us to retain him. For once, I'm so grateful Sullivan was ruthless in his Chairmanship and we now have Pellegrini at the helm trying to drag us to the next level, where the opposite was seemingly happening.

I had no idea a manager who plays one striker would be so popular.

Here's hoping we see Wilshere, Yarmolenko and Anderson chip in with 7-8 goals apiece.

Given our lack of solidity at the back they'll need to.

2 strikers doesn’t necessarily mean more attacking play or more goals. 2 strikers is a bit dated.

I think that’s your lot.
Fabian Balbuena would have (if the scouts Moyes/Sullivan was using had found him)
Yarmolenko probably would have too. I can imagine he's exactly taken a pay cut.
