City just bid 55m for Sanchez with 5m add ons, they're getting closer! Another 5m and I think he's theirs!
City will make a £70m cash bid for Chile forward Sanchez, 28, and have already sent a team of legal and medical officials to South America to get the deal done as quickly as possible. (Independent)
Cheers DB10...i can now go to work without any distractions
On a serious note, how fucking bad is it, that on deadline day I'm hoping we don't sign anybody, in the slim hope that we reach rock bottom and spark some sort of change
I'm with this hope we have a disastrous day so the pressure mount seven more, can't make my mind up if its better sanchez stays or goes . If he stays Wenger will play him and could be effectively carrying a passenger and create a poor atmosphere in the dressing room or he goes last minute and we fail to find a replacement and the ship sinks even further. I can't for the life of me think why Draxler would want to join this shit show.
How has it come to this after 40 years of supporting this club wanting my team to burn
You want it to burn for the greater good mate. Any sane person can see that to get anything like what would resemble the Arsenal we love (and i've only been going 25 years), It has to get much much worse before its able to get better.
Some will say they can never want the club to lose or wish bad on the club but its way past all of that now.
This is true I am looking at the bigger picture and have taken a lot of abuse over the last few years from fans who couldn't see it , I think it is different now though we may have a breakthrough after today. Next home game could be interesting.
Looks like spurs have gazumped Chelsea for LLorente too with Jansen leaving.
ive got abuse for wanting the club to lose over the past few years but now I think everybody can see it finally makes sense,we need this melt down to continue,i don't think even wenger could survive a nuclear melt down which looks like is finally on the way.the way I see it is that if you are wanting Arsenal to win right now you support wenger,if you want Arsenal to lose for the greater good then you are an Arsenal supporter,isnt it sad that its come to this,anybody who says ' I cant understand why youd want us to lose,you aren't a true supporter' can just go fuck themselves,ive been a gooner 40 years and was a regular standing on the northbank and clock end so I think I qualify as a true supporter
Yep I started going at the end of Don Howe in1986 and had a season ticket since 87 £50 believe it or not on the North Bank so seen highs and lows but this is the lowest point I've ever been . Whatever happens today I can't see Wenger seeing out his contract now I truly believe that, every game will be a knife edge and when things go wrong the fans will turn.
Did you see his hand trembling when he was drinking from his water bottle... I think he knows this season will melt down.
the OX is no world beater for Arsenal, but I think he will be brillant at Liverpool, all of our promising players were better 3 years ago than they are now. so we have 4 or 5 players that are at mid table level, and if Sanchez goes it will be the first arsenal team without a single star player that i have seen.
Lacca is just the French Darren Bent in my view, he is no star player and would have cost 16 million 3 years ago.
What is really funny is that Wonga finds it hard to bid over 30m for a player, anyone! So now, with decent players costing upward of 60-70m it's the end of Arsenal signing any decent players! He will now waste 30m on shit players, we will genuinely be Deadwood FC full of average 30m players! Fucking hilarious (I wish it wasn't but that's life as an Arsenal supporter at the moment)!
Flogging Ox and Sanchez smacks of Cesc and the lesbian; minus the awful Lidl trolley-dash of incoming bargain-basement toss.
Promised myself I was done with Arsenal after the cünt signed on for another two years of hell. Didn't care about the fixtures so far, haven't posted in months and haven't even lurked but fuck it... this place is too much fun on Rodders' Day to let the corporate money-grabbers ruin what little enjoyment there is left to be had in picking the bones of Arsene FCs rotting cadaver.
dont believe a 90m offer for a second!! Our last bid was about 30 or 40m wasn't it? Wonga would never sanction a 90m bid without bidding 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50m......and so on first!!
