McDowell its over dude...no more - Hallelujah

The problems we have are that Arsenal FC lack ambition ( 4th is like winning ) not! but we also have owners who don't want to spend money so it's a lose lose situation.
Nothing is going to change until these idiots are removed, what I don't think they've grasped is that the cash cow is just about to dry up, I'm struggling to see how we qualify for the CL next time,then there's less money to spend and the downward spiral begins.

Podolski and Giroud look like good signings, I agree with that. A step forward, but so too a replacement for squad players who were under performing.

But Podolski is only a replacement for Arshavin, and Giroud for Chamakh.

If we wanted RvP to stay, we would have need to sign for example M'Vila, Vertonghen and one or two others by now.

loving watching the akbs in meltdown have no idea what to do now that someone they worshipped has said the exact same thing as most on here have been saying for years. its now indistputable and there only response is turning on rvp. what will it take for them to finally see whats going on right in front of them? not even the word of the club captain!!

piresistable just sums em up. mikey is spot on.

podolski and girourd are promising signings, but not great. girourd, completely unproven, pod, a big fish type player (should do well here now then!!) why no other big clubs in for him??

showing ambition would be strengthening the same weaknesses that have existed for eons. its patently obvious that defence, dm and creative midfield will not be addressed, and that forced rvp's hand. likewise rvp will not be replaced. giroud and pod are his replacement.

After all the RvP hype, we can get back to the norm.
Two strikers purchased at roughly £22m, add to that their wages and add ons, and there is the cash from the sale of RvP and the savings on his signing on fee and wages, plus some.
I reckon that just unknown bits and bobs might be bought in, if anyone.

The Arsenal just announced that they've cancelled the Nigeria tour. due to 'complexities.

which is Board code for 'we're all having apoplexy and cardiac arrests."....

In the absence of any smiley emoticons do I take it that this is for real ?

I do wonder as well. If true, this would mean that the RvPgate is starting to shake some trees.

For people wanting another striker, if Gyan hasn't officially left Sunderland yet apparently he's going for 7mil? He's worth more than that to be fair but he'd do well here.

Wage demands will likely be astronomical, somebody will offer him £100k+ a week and he'll go wherever that is.
