The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I don't think he'd take it even if we did, Sally:

1 - we couldn't match City's wages, or PSG's
2 - at 29, he doesn't want to wait at least another year for a sniff of a Champions' League medal......

Can I just make an edit please - it's not that we couldn't match City's wages, it's that the owner/manager wouldn't.

Fair enough of point 2 - mostly because our owner and manager are c**ts.

We could easily match his wages by selling some deadwood. We won't though because of Wenger's socialist structure (decreasingly, admittedly).

I would like to take this opportunity to laugh uproariously at the very fact that Barcelona are getting all whiny at another club tapping up and buying one of their better players after they've been doing that for years. :D
Fuck off, you're second rate now. And don't take the piss out of richer clubs when you cheat and dive your way past them in a chumps league game which you've probably paid to fix because they'll come back and humiliate you in front of the world.Ha fucking ha you utter arrogant *word censored*. The wheel has turned.

From the BBC Footie website:

Arsene Wenger has told Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez, 28, he will not be sold to another English club this summer. (Times - subscription required)

Notice how the wording has changed from ‘Will not be sold’ to ‘Will not be sold to another English club this summer’

Arsenal are weighing up a move for 26-year-old Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri.(ESPN)


That sounds about par for the course that is wenker – another cheap very average French player

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina, 28, plans to stay and fight for his place at the club next season.(London Evening Standard)

Good luck with that – Pete The Plank is one of wenker’s chosen favourites and will still be in goal in 5 years time…even on his zimmer frame..

Ideally we'd offer Sanchez a two year deal with a realistic buy out clause for a foreign club if we don't win the PL this season.

Yup! That's what "We" would do...But Ohhhhh noooo Not wenkercuntslop

Translated means other clubs took one look at his wages and said no thanks.

Will you be able to sleep at night if we change that to "another cheap very average player from the French league"? :lol: :wink:
