Even Arse.com are bracing us for the worst


"It depends now on Gibbs," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "He sees a specialist again today [Tuesday] and if something happens there that he has had a real setback then possibly, yes.

"It is not a shop, you just take a good opportunity that is on the market when you can. Overall that's what we are doing at the moment. We are starting to look at players if Gibbs is not back.


Heres me thinking that the transfer window was about selling and buying- getting the best deal possible but also sometimes paying for those quality items that you need. Nothing like a shop at all then Arsene?
This quote for me sums up the GICs transfer policy- it isn't about quality or competition , it's about "opportunities" to make money for the shareholders. The irony - hes hasnt even succeeded at that these last few years with the likes of Barry B, Flappy, Squiddy, Park, Chamslack, Denilshit, Almunia the list goes on. All fantastic ways of pissing money up the wall. And to think we paid over £6m for Squiddy :shock:

The other big clubs are shopping at Harrods, we are shopping at Lidl

Super quality!

:roll:

An overpaid loanee not playing well.

Sounds about right. What ever DID happen to that fifty million we pocketed from two players, anyways?

We've spent maybe 15-20 of it since? On like 6 players. Sammy better be right about Goetze...

Not sure whats worse, the replacements that are are being linked with or once again the joke that is our injury prone players is rearing it's ugly head again.

Seriously, how can some of our side being more frail then a china vase?! Someone go steal Kim Jong-Il's body, he might as well act as cover in our team right now.

Are you lot fucking serious!!! Arsene said he might dip into the market. Journos had a conversation with Mancini about bridge. 1+1 = arsenal signing him. Get a fucking grip. He ain't coming. Won't happen.

Whoever said its now getting legs as 2 media outlets are on board, by that simple reckoning were signing podolski, gotze and hazard! Man city are signing gotze and hazard and so are Chelsea. The media make up this shit so we read their crap.

We're the Arsenal - were better than Wayne fucking bridge.

We actually had 3 recognised left backs at the start of the season. Most of us have forgotten about Troure. No loss there.

This was an accident waiting to happen. I like Gibbs but now I'm afraid he needs to go. We all know he isinjury prone.

I think Wenger needs to address who's the first choice left back. Santos was only brought in as Troure was off to QPR. So is Santos first choice? If so he needs a fit back up. If not then his was relying on Gibbs being fit.
Either way Gibbs needs to go.

If we sign this wanker piece of shit, I refuse to watch one more game this season. Enough is enough. £50 mil profit this year, the Kolo and Ade cash, the 6.5%, the transfer pot never touched...
Answer me this.

Chelsea loaned us Benayoun.
Fergie gave us Silvestre.

How did these work out?

Citeh have poached Nasri, Toure, Ade and Bayor. Oh and Clichy.
Having nicked our "best" left back, imagine what a joke or would be for us to end up with their piece of shit League 2 standard waster!!!
Wenger going on about financial doping and letting Citeh destroy our chances by fobbing us off with a clown?! Seriously!!

Even Wrexham ain't this fucking cheap. It's as if we were broke with the begging bowl. Wenger had turned us into a laughing stock already and after the summer just gone, this would be the final insult.

Ppl also said the Silvestre rumours were paper talk that would never happen.
Ahem.

I will come on here when we sign Gotze too. It ain't going to happen. But no way will we sign bridge! If we do I won't go to another game this year!!

Tempted to make a little sign for tonight's game!

If you've fucked a bird who's fucked John terry we don't want you at The Arsenal

Or

We might be man city's feeder club, but we don't want their rejects!!

Honestly, knowing Wenger's brilliance in the transfer market I'd be more surprised if we don't sign him! :lol: :wink:

Before we criticise this, can anyone offer an alternative?

I would love Leighton Baines but clearly Wenger just wants a Loan signing. So in that case who else is there? Not saying Bridge is the answer but everyones having a barny without offering an alternative.

Also just because its in 2 papers means fuck all. Wasn't everyone saying we had Podolski?? Look at how that's turned out.
Chelsea loaned us Benayoun
I would argue that was a good move for us. He's looked a really good addition since coming to us, in fact he should be playing more.

Most people have. In the more extreme case you sign Leighton Baines or someone of that ilk having come to the conclusion that Gibbs just never will be. The alternative is that we carry on with TV5 who has played well there or Ignasi Miquel

You do not, under any circumstances given all that has gone before, go cap-in-hand to City for their 4th choice left back.

FFS, where has the pride gone ?
