Excluding free agents, #Arsenal have signed 30 players since 2013 but have never made a profit on a single one of them.

If playing shit wasn’t bad enough, Torreira has properly screwed us over if the only place he’s willing to go is cash strapped South America.

I know some on here love the bloke but it was obvious he was weak minded long before his mother died. We’ll end up loaning the homesick lost puppy to Boca without a loan fee. Another shocking waste of money.
Bang on the money. Emotional blackmail to the extent that we have to write off £25m.

An unbelievable stat when you think about it - just shows what an absolute bungled transfer policy we've had for years and since Wiggy appointed all of these different c.unts over the past decade to oversee this shit show.

Think about all the other top teams in the country - the Mickeys taking Barcelona for £100m+ for Coutinho, Hazard going to Real Madrid for €100m, Bale to Real Madrid for €86m, Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m, Suarez to Barcelona for €80m+.......we are an absolute embarrassment.

This all started under the 'Great Economist' - the poor old c.unt who supposedly didn't have a pot to piss in but yet spent £42m on Ozil, £40m on Xhaka, £37m on Mustafi, £30m on Mkhitaryan, £18m on Chambers, £18m on Welbeck, £18m on Lucas Perez.......and pray tell what we got back for that lot??

Wenger knew the price of everything but the value of nothing. The previous Board gave him autonomy over the whole Club and look where we are. We are genuinely not far off Leeds except we started off from a better position. Financial mismanagement/fraud. I’m still not sure which one it is. Absolutely scandalous decision making for nigh on a decade.

And while we're on the subject what was the point of signing William Saliba 2 years ago?

To stop other clubs getting him?

A bit like Chelsea do with youngsters but on a much, much smaller scale. :lol:

I have been scanning the news feeds and there are lots of rumours linking us to every living breathing footballer including Ermintrude the cow but no mention of our player of the decade Clive leaving.Is the delay due to Arsenal wanting him to pose for a statue to be sent to DB for his garden or is this another Higuain,Benzema done deal transfer story with the new Barnet manager Arteta in five years time coming out with a reverse Wenger type list of "O the players I could of got rid of at Arsenal".

Unfortunately, Xhaka is at the Euro’s and captained Switzerland yesterday so realistically Xhaka isn’t signing for anyone until after Switzerland are eliminated.

Same goes for every other player at the Euro’s and Copa America so it’ll be a frantic end to the window as per usual.

That said, as very few of our players are good enough to play for their country (e.g. Bellerin, Willian, Laca, Guendouzi, Cedric, etc) then we should be bombing these players out ASAP…. If we can find clubs daft (and rich) enough to buy them :(

Donny van de Beek being linked too - so we supposedly see ourselves as an elite club, but quite happy to take the shit from Chavski and Man Ure that can't get into their first teams.......sounds really "exciting" Josh

Never heard of him. Next please
The classic Arsenal policy - why pay for someone who has proved it in this league, when you can shell out half the money for a lightweight kid who has only ever played in a second rate league

Exciting times indeed
