The ''no one is coming'' Transfer Thread

[Perryashburtongroves]

He's targeting Leicester players because he knows the bigger names will turn him down straight away. Mahrez really isn't filling a need as we are crying out for a striker. He won't sign for us anyway because Wanker will find a way to fuck it all up or drag it out until the last minute and bugger everyone around until everyone tells him to fuck off and the player joins the Chavs. If it does, by some chance happen, I hope it involves Wally Wankpott going the other way in some part of the deal.

Of all the LC players, Kante was the one we needed most and somehow Chelsea were able to grab him for a fairly inexpensive fee (these days).

A midfield duo of Kante and Xhaka would have been immense. I would gladly take Mahrez as I think he is really top quality, although we don't need that position filled. But Ozil, Sanchez and Mahrez would be a great attacking trio and we could then ship out Theo and the Ox.

am i alone in not wanting mahrez?

one good season, and not the player we need. we need a top striker and a cb not a attacking midfielder as good as he may be

I agree that he is one season wonder, but... I'm so desperate to get rid of Feo that anyone will do for me. I believe Mahrez is superior player compared to wally... even if we've seen him only for one season. If this happens (and it won't) it would be only replacement signing and not any kind of answer for what we really need.

I just want Wenger to sign a proven premiership player ffs. Is that asking too much.

Mahrez will add quality to our team, even if Giroud is up front. Why is it every time we are linked to a player people on this forum question how they will fit into the team, or add value. If it means selling Wally or the Ox, sorry Theo but you've had umpteen chances at Arsenal and never consistently delivered. The Ox isn't far behind but you suspect somewhere in there could be a very talented player.

Just get some fucking players in that we can discuss, rather than speculate on.

Because winning teams have balance.......it literally is that simple. Buying another small, but talented, ball player does not solve ANY of the main weaknesses on our team - I would much rather have a quality player for every position rather than have 2 or 3 quality players to play the wing spots but with giroud up front and the BFG or Gabriel at the back

100% agree! I'm sick and tired to hear about players we nearly signed. It is so small time bull shit.

[GranadaJoe]

I wonder if AW sees him as a striker.

Mahrez scored more league goals than Giroud, has better movement, is faster, a better first touch and more varied finishing. I'm not sure if he likes the contact or works hard, but with a slight change in tactics (I know!) it could work.

Mahrez a small player? Don't think so. If we spend £40m+ on him don't expect a world class striker or defender.

Any player that keeps Walcott/Chamberlain out of the first team is welcome with open arms.

[Henry Norris 1913]

mahrez would be a top addition and we could do with extra strength out wide, but for fucks fucking cunting bollocking sake, we need a fucking striker and a fucking central defender. all wenger does is buy midfielders, f.f.s.

btw mahrez ain't coming anyway

I think he's referring to his physical stature

[SteveO 35]

Just watching Mahrez in this pre-season match against Ireland's favourite club side, and have to say the bloke is head and shoulders above everyone else on the field - brilliant throughout and an absolute pearler of a goal

Oh to have a player like that who can go wide but also cut in and shoot on sight, instead of the likes of Wally or Lovechild Aaron when he gets shoved out there

Sign the bloke now Wenger you useless tool of a man

[begeegs]

After seeing Wenger coming out in the press about being ready to spend big on the right player a day after Gazidis basically came out with the paupers excuse makes me think that Gazidis knows that Wenger will not spend money and trying to divert the likely derision that will be flowing from the stands when we don't sign anyone. I think that we won't bring anyone else in except for taking a punt on the lower league players and Gazidis basically let the cat out of the bag on it. Smart move, in my opinion as it more or less puts the ball directly in Wenger's court and he more or less said what he always says when he is about to do nothing.

Once Giroud goes down injured before January and we slide away from the races, I expect a signing in January to rectify the short-sightedness from the summer. That is really the ground hog day that Wenger has been doing the past few years. Gabriel came off the back of a defensive shortage. Elneny came off the back of a midfielder crisis. I fully expect Giroud to go out for at least a month once the Window shuts and we have yet again sat on our hands.

It is also comments like this which lead me to believe that Wenger will not be offered another contract which fills me with optimism.

Makes me laugh how people come out with the one season wonder jibe when a new player makes a big impact. Mahrez is quality and with him on one side and Sanchez on the other even Giroud cannot fail to fill his boots. He is pissing all over Celtic who in theory are season ready with their CL qualifiers.

What's with the physique thing, most of our players are smaller than Mahrez especially in midfield.

Agree 100%. People seem to forget that all brilliant players ran the risk of being "one season wonders" at the start of their careers. If I'm honest when he first converted Henry from a winger to a CF I never thought he'd repeat the trick of scoring 20+ every season

Imagine Sanchez and Mahrez on the flanks, with Ozil jn the advanced central role and with a decent fucking CF ahead of them - would be as good as anything in the league.

Instead we'll have Giroud playing 40 odd games, with 'like a new signing' Akpom and Sanogoals as back up CFs and the hapless Wally

Seems Marhaz' agent was in Lens last night to meet a Lens player who is on his books..Kante was the one to go for but we didn't, probably out of fear of him actually signing.
