The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

[Sally Cinnamon]

Sky sources are reporting we've made a £198,000,001 bid to scupper the Neymar deal

Surprised we have any money left in our budget after the Mpabbe signing.

[Herd]

The problem here is that with all the goings on what we tend to forget that waht we really need is a midfielder with the quality of
Santini Cazorla who may not be fit to play for us ever again.

Without him we are consigned to a life of Ramsey !

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..

Seri is from the Ivory coast

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

I sleep very well thank you
I like to be corrected when I make a mistake
All part of the continuing process of education
Watched the 2 nd half of Ajax v nice last night on an iPad
Until that point I had never seen seri before
Because of the late away goal it was an interesting game
I have no idea weather seri is average or not
But whilst absolutly sick of Wenger kronke and the loser mentality they have engendered at the club
I will never buy into the absolute doom fest that seems to infect so many
I have had a major sense of humour bypass

o - kay.....

Oh right mordant humour is the only worthwhile type then?
I love a good carry on film as much as the next man

2nd, there shouldn't have been a space there.
Happy to help with your ongoing education.

Thanks chaps
Nice to know you have my interests at heart

We've been saying it for a while now I know, but this really is groundhog season for the club. Last year was the first time we've seen wide ranging and sustained protests against Wenger and the management, gathering pace as the season fizzled out yet again. The cat is well and truly out of the bag.

We're going into yet another season where we look under prepared and under strength. Lacazette may or may not turn out to be a good signing in time, but if our summer business is Lacazette in and Sanchez out, we'll have regressed further than the shit show we saw last season.

It seems pretty clear that despite Wenger's connections, we can't immediately attract young French talent like Mbappe or Lemar as we used to do. Similarly we aren't in a financial position to compete with the obscene sums being thrown around by the bankrolled clubs.

Very concerning.

"Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez kissed the club badge in front of the cameras during training on Thursday. (Telegraph)"



And interpreted another way - It is an Open training session so he kisses the badge to show - yes, I love Arsenal FC and The Fans - But the manager is an Utter Trolley Looney Tunes Wankker and so I cannot stay and play under the Fool so this is my way of saying farewell to the fans.

Why so gloomy? It's going to be a giant shit show when the wheels fall off again. More intense protests, more fights in the stands, Wenger getting abuse from all corners, Gazidis hiding like the spineless worm that he is. Not even looking forward to the football anymore because we all know what will happen on that front. It will be a laugh, can't wait.

[GoonerMuzz]

In a sadistic way I'm looking forward to the new season, you're all looking at it backwards!!

This season is going to be so full of bullshit excuses from OGL and his disciples our bingo cards are going to be complete by October, there's going to have to be a whole new line in excuse making from ArsenalPLC PR department.

His whole recruitment and retention policy has been a farce for years and once again another transfer window goes by with a whimper, we are the joke club at the top of the PL and will be until OGL, Kroenke et al go.

I see Mahrez is trying to force his way out of Leicester - that must be music to TO1AW's ears, as its exactly the sort of two bob featherweight c.unt he'd like to dress up as an exciting deadline day signing. It'll be him or the other flaky prick from Monaco, and no sight of a decent keeper, centre half or midfielder.

Another season of shite. 7th place - mark my words. United, City, Scum, Liverpool, Everton and Chavski will be over the hills and far away by Christmas. This is the new normal

Indeed and the two (3?) stooges - AW, SK and IG will conspire again to reduce ticket prices slightly to "make up" for our new level, in the full knowledge that it will make f*ck all difference to the bottom line with the new TV money now in place, still it will keep the AKB's and tourists happy which is all that matters, right?.

Going 38 games unbeaten was incredible but we have paid a hefty price for doing so it seems.. 10, 20, 30... years of purgatory

So many c**ts.. Wenger, Kroenke, PHW, Fiszman, Chips, Ivan, Dick Law, DD (debatable!). Then we have the yes men like Bould, Primorac and most of the coaching staff, fair play to Jonker for showing a bit of ambition and buggering off..

All the AKB's and trippers blame the likes of Nasri, RvP, Cesc etc. I don't, it is the names above that are the real c**ts.

I thought Mahrez was sensational for Leicester. Player of the season who, when the pressure of winning a title with Leicester was well and truly in squeaky bum time, didn't crumble and carried on scoring and assisting.
- to describe someone like that as two-bob is a tad harsh

Personally, I'd be quite happy with Mahrez and Sanchez cutting in from the wings. Both can score and assist.

[Wilson]

Sanchez cannot be sold. Although I get the feeling we will sell very late in the transfer window so they wont feel the pressure ti sign a replacement.

Remember, they kept Welbecks long term injury hush and announced it.........after the transfer window had closed.

I cannot comprehend why some fans still trust Wenger and the club.

Because they are as thick as SHITT and Twice as Smelly.

Valencia boss Marcelino has confirmed he’s keeping tabs on three potential defensive recruits, including Arsenal’s Gabriel.

Sell, Sell, Sell!!

Infact how about two for the price of one?, throw in Debuchy for nothing.
