I dont believe for a second we bid 92 mil for lemar. like what in the past would indicate we would make such a move? nothing absolutely nothing.
We bid a lot of $ to get Lacazette The issue is nobody respects Wenger and wants to play for him anymore
yet we didnt pay close to that. Thats not the issue. plenty of people wants to play for Arsenal. we just dont want to spend the money that top level prem talent costs.
At least the window closes before the season next year. All we have to do is replace Alexis, Ozil, and fix a bullshit midfield and defense. I see a panic January buy in our future.
Typical Kroenke, Wenger and Arsenal. Everybody saw this coming. 1 - Unable to get rid of shit players on enormous wages because Wenger, who must have graduated from the worst fucking economics school in Europe, believes in parity in the dressing room. Debuchy is contracted till 2019. Loans galore. Check. 2 - Sells to a rival. Check. 3 - Lets key players run down contracts, unable to sort out any of them. Check. 4 - Wenger has no clue at identifying the weakness in the squad and thus gives no effort to improve MF and CB. Check. 5. Hilarious fake effort huge deadline day bid to show Arsenals fans that "We tried". Check. (Wenger failing to sign a French African is FUCKING HILARIOUS) 6. Deluge of stories about how Wenger almost signed one of the best players in the world at a young age but didn't because he balked at agent fees. Check. 7. Kroenke keeping the Arsenal money in the bank as collateral for his new LA stadium loans. DOUBLE CHECK. 8. Arsenal profits being taxed at insane UK rates which will go to lavish housing for ISIS terrorists. TRIPLE CHECK. Won't change next year, nor five years, nor in ten years. The club is dead. Kroenke isn't selling and he gives zero fucks about winning. There is no protest, no fan strike, that will cause him to sell. Only killing him will get him out of the club. Wenger is fucking terrible, however I have serious doubts about the future afterwards. Arsenal ST holders need to decide where they want to be in 10 years, slaves to Stan Kroenke? Would be better off pulling a Wimbledon, setting up a 50 +1 club (German DFB rules) and having a go. Highbury died for this.
I had low expectations today, but didn't think there would be anything to smile about this evening. I was wrong. Nice post rainey - good to see you.
They make a really good point that we should offer Alexis and Özil 2 year deals with a decent wage bump (from the players offloaded) and a buyout clause. They can still leave in a year but they make more this year and the club could still sell them. No way in hell the club is capable of this but seems a reasonable idea.
Yeah I heard that part as well. Also when they talk more and more about defense and how vulnerable we are I can't help but think how good Kos has been. He's going to be so hard to replace.
We didnt buy anything for the defense. holy fuck i cant believe how terrible this club is at everything.
Academy also only signed 1 player and lost 11. Considering Tank was signed in the spring; the overhaul this summer Ivan promised was 1 senior player, 1 youth, 1 guy to get Dick Law's coffee, some rugby fitness instructor, mad Jens, and an academy head in waiting.
At least we kept Calum, big chance though I doubt Nesta and Maldini would be successful in our current setup
Blank is awesome. Could you imagine what Kroenke would think of the concession stand prices at the new stadium.
