"Miles apart"

"The suggestion is that Arsenal don't have the money"

:D :D :D

Aubameyang isn't coming

:barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Nice to see Europe's elite scrabbling around over a few bob for Man Ure reject Jonny Evans too - truly the stuff of dreams

Our transfer dealings so far carry all the signs of being controlled by Wonga. Forget the negotiators, I think the say so on how much is still governed by Herr Dictator.
Lowballing on Auba for several days? WTF? How difficult is it?
MONDAY
We offer 44m......no we want 60m
TUESDAY
We offer 50m......no we want 60m
WEDNESDAY
We offer 50m, it’s a good offer....no, 60m is the deal
THURSDAY
We can definitely offer 50.1m.....no we want 60m

Is this the way we are really doing business FFS?

Don’t even get me started on Debuchy plus 10m for Evans. We almost let Debuchy go on a free and now we rate him at 20m? :banghead:

Interestingly, it was the Arsenal board who wouldn’t budge in negotiations. Despite all the rumours about Wenger’s stinginess, he was pushing them to spend more for Arshavin, because he really wanted the player.

-------------

Sums up our tight approach. Bank of England club, more like Bank of Kroenke club now.

F*ck off and die you wiggy tapeworm.

Anyone else find it weird that Wenger was so open about us being in for Aubameyang, as though he was trying to get fans excited(and distracted)from what the shit show around selling Sanchez. We could be signing a non league player and the old *word censored* wouldn't say a word until it was on pravda, but now he is open about us chasing down a top striker, doesn't add up.

Personally I am inclined to believe that is bullshit - if you really want a player, you dont kill his career with us by playing him out of position

Reminds me of the time we went to try and sign the fulham keeper a few years ago - we made a bid of £250k which was rejected, only to go in with the same bid a few weeks later :roll: Who does that shit ? :oops: :oops: :oops:

Oh! Well that's IT then, if anyone had any last remaining hopes of Aubameyang (aka: Aubi One Kanobi) coming to Arsenal FC - You can forget it. :? :cry: :banghead:

Wenger & Wiggy = the BIGGEST cuntbags in the history of the club.

Thought i had read somewhere that we went in at a lower price second time round ,thinking because the transfer window would soon be closing that Fulham would bend over and sell Schwarzer.

No Aubameyang and it seems even like the Brazilian jockey is more likely to join the Spuds

So on top of that great transfer window where we lost the Ox, and signed Kolasinac on a free and Joe L'Average.......we move to the mid year window where we swap our best player for a squad rotation player from ManUre and bag another 30m+ from the sales of Wally and Coquelin. But apparently we don't have the money to sign Aubameyang.

"We're moving in order to compete with Europe's elite"

What happened to this boast eh Ivan ? Where's all that extra income of £60m+ a year in commercial deals gone you two bob c.unt?

Gazidis defends commercial performance

Gazidis issued a robust defence of Arsenal’s commercial performance following questioning of his salary, which increased to £2.65m and included a £1m bonus in 2015-16.

He said that commercial and retail income had increased more than any other stream in the last six years, from £46m a year in 2010 to the most recent figure of £107m.

That was in part down to an increase in the number of non-primary commercial partners from 11 to 34 in the last three years, he added.

He will struggle to compete on the commerical side because we are failing on the pitch, no more CL football for god knows long and no star players when Ozil walks away next summer, they will continue to go up (slowly) but it's all relative as they say, we are also-rans now, actually we have been for 13-14 years it's just now we are nearer the middle than the top.

We are a true reflection of Arsene's ego and Stan's lack of interest, nothing more, nothing less. A waste of space.

What's the betting that someone will come in at the last minute for Aubameyang and pay the asking price and get the transfer done in a couple hours?

Gazidis, you are a useless *word censored*.

Chavski are looking for a new striker, I'm amazed they haven't come in for him... yet.

I bet you won’t see many pics of our transfer wa**kers returning empty handed from Germany as you saw when they set out to sign boomerang, it’s taken the pressure of wenger because he was clearly being left out of the negotiating (don’t laugh) team so the c**t is shit stain free on this one. Every club must love seeing our tight c**ts at the door, bean counters to a man, obsessed with the bottom line, all about value and not a clue about worth.
Should be interesting if Giroud ends up at Chelsea on deadline night, imagine the rest of the season with Wellwide leading the line!

Well this does not bode well for our next Manager does it. He will list players he wants and our crack new transfer team will negotiate and come back empty handed. It's been going on for years like this while we waste money on poorer players who cost less. It's the Kroenke Arsenal way you know. Still make sure you buy the shirt and pay the highest price for your match ticket.
