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

[Red Gunner]

Just announced Southampton.yes fucking Southampton!, have just spent £15m on a centre forward from Serie A. The whole thing more farcical by the second. Can't shake off the anger and shame that went with being there yesterday and back to work tomorrow....nice

They had already spent about 12M on Wanyama from Celtic as well.

Everyone is struggling to sign players though....

And around £8m on Lovren from Lyon.

So that means Pistachio has so far signed a CB, a DM and a striker. Hm... Maybe he could do a job for us

LeCoq is gone to Freiburg

Crap forgot that

In the last two seasons Southampton have now spent £70m and not recouped a single penny - where are they getting this money from?

It wouldn't surprise me if we are using our money to buy players for them.

They made £43m from TV payments last season:

If it was down to that then why isn't everyone spending shitloads?

Good point. Perhaps their Italian chairman is investing.

You can add a Winger to the list of positions we need to fill

Its Markus Liebherrs millions- he was absolutely minted and the chairman Coerteze manages his affairs now that he has died.

Lets face it, most of the best players are SOLD or won't come here now.

we are all doomed

gone
gone
gone
gone
gone.

Who's the next player to be linked to us?

[Top Londoner]

Did I read it correctly somewhere, that we have shipped out 17 players in the past few months?

Yes but they all needed to go as they were the deadwood we complained about! Let's not go down the road of 'skould we have kept them?' we needed to bring in better quality which is exactly what that fucking bastard Wenger did not do

Wenger does not need a new contract, he needs the sack

[Red Gunner]

We have but the number is not as significant as the media makes it out to be.



Let's analyse the departures:

1. Martin Angha (CB) - insignificant departure, youngster, no league appearances for us
2. Jernade Meade (LB) - insignificant departure, youngster, no league appearances for us
3. Craig Eastmond (DM) - insignificant departure, youngster, four league appearances for us in 2009/2010
4. Conor Henderson (midfielder) - insignificant departure, youngster, no league appearances for us
5. Chuks Aneke (midfielder) - insignificant departure (loan), youngster, no league appearances for us
6. Sanchez Watt (striker) - insignificant departure, youngster, no league appearances for us
7. Joel Campbell (forward) - insignificant departure (loan), youngster, he hasn't player a single game for us

8. Vito Mannone (GK) - insignificant departure, we do need a third senior GK though
9. Andre Santos (LB) - insignificant departure, we have two LBs and Verm can cover there too, also he's fat
10. Denilson (midfielder) - insignificant departure, he's been out on a loan for two seasons so he's been unavailable since summer 2011
11. Andrey Arshavin (forward) - insignificant departure, no league starts for us last season
12. Marouane Chamakh (striker) - insignificant departure, played zero league games for us last season, also had no confidence

13. Sebastien Squillaci (CB) - semi-significant departure, terrible CB but better than no CB and we need a fourth one
14. Johan Djourou (CB) - semi-significant departure (loan), he was out on a loan last season too but we need a fourth CB
15. Ignasi Miquel (CB) - semi-significant departure (loan), even though he's youngster, we need a fourth CB
16. Francis Coquelin (DM) - semi-significant departure (loan), we need cover for DM
17. Gervinho (forward) - semi-significant departure, made 12 league starts last season, got five goals and three assists, could cover on the wings and up front

So there have been five semi-significant departures and three of them are due to Wenger not signing a centre-back.
