I don't post much on this fucking thread as there is more shit being thrown around than the
village farmer on muck spreading day
But I have to say, what the actual fuck is going on with our transfer strategy?
My suspicion is that Diet Pep wants far too much influence in the decision making process. And, I reckon it's the reason that Edu left the club. In fact it has all the hallmarks of Wenger 2 wanting control over everything
Diet Pep should be identifying positions of need, Bertha should give him a shortlist and then when Diet Pep has made a choice, Bertha should go and get the deal done, at least that should be his job. But I think Diet Pep is being deliberately obtuse especially where a striker is concerned.
As many of our esteemed posters have pointed out, I don't think Diet Pep actually wants a striker. All this talk of wide players or attacking midfielders will deflect away from the pressing need. All the prevarication over a few million quid for a striker suggests that they are hoping for the deal to fall through. And we've heard the soundbites before about how hard we tried to sign so and so.
And that's before we get on to the issue of contract extensions for the players we need to keep, otherwise they will get tapped up and walk for a pittance.
I love the transfer window
