SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

[Wengerballs]

FFS...wake me up on 31st August.

Q. What do early Arsenal signings and an impotent man have in common.

A. They never come.

The only thing holding me back from being totally ecstatic about the prospect of another farcical transfer window closing is that it will mean another mediocre, groundhog day season is about to begin.

Rodders mate, don't be so negative. Sano(wake me up before you go)go is gonna be the next Thierry. SURELY that must be OBVIOUS to you??!!

Anyone think we don't sign early to avoid paying summer wages?

I think there is a lot to this.

[swimmer1]

We are very much an embarresment when it come's to signing players .

I thought we were having a shit TW, then I read about Kolo Toure signing for the Mousers and nearly pissed myself laughing.

He was waaaaay past his best when we raped Citeh for the transfer fee, he was fat, slow, and shit by then. If anything he has gotten shitter and fatter in his time at Citeh and now the Mousers pay £12m for him??!! Is there even a KFC big enough to accomodate Kolo in Liverpool??!!

[rodders999]

Wasn't Kolo out of contract so went on a free? Hillarious stuff none the less.

Not sure we "never" sign players early. Didn't we sign Podolski in about May last year? Giroud in June, i'm pretty sure that Vermaelen and Nasri were signed in May or June as well a few years back.

I agree about Kolo (but they got him on a free) and I also think Rodgers is out of his depth, but at least they have shown some intent to improve their squad and counter act as best they can a possible Suarez move, by signing a striker, I also think Miognolet was a steal at 9 mil and could be a real success.

Correct.
"Arsenal's pre season transfers started as early as 30 April 2012, when Arsenal announced they were going to sign German international Lukas Podolski from Cologne for an undisclosed fee,[1] thought to be around £10.9m."

The club is a laughing stock. Everybody is laughing at how cheap and pathetic we are. I remember even Zlatan Ibrahimavic did the same a few years back saying he felt sorry for us.

Really?

But we can't officially sign a player until July 1st anyway... and pre-season starts a fortnight later, and the league starts a month after that, so hardly seems worth jeopardising a transfer to save a few weeks wages - especially when a full pre-season is better for the player/team.

Not convinced!

I feel we are a club that goes out of it's way to do things the right way but all that we end up is more frustration and anger .

Why "even" Ibrahimovic? is he some sort of business guru? or well respected voice in sport?

Erm, no - the guy changes clubs as often as his underpants; chasing the money as he goes. He's the ultimate premium priced gun for hire (and fair play, he's good at it too!) so it doesn't surprise me one bit that the guy wouldn't understand the way Arsenal operate... and quite frankly, he's hardly qualified to pass judgement anyway, so fuck him and his uneducated opinions; they're irrelevant.
