As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

He looked tidy enough in passing and moving and isn't afraid to shoot. A good addition to the squad if we had signed him last summer if we had unloaded the Ox. But as the only January signing? Why?
So we have another attacking midfielder (that's 532 now, I believe!) but haven't signed the DM, CH and striker we need. Top work Arsene, top work.
So in summing up DB is le bumhole (a) a bumhole (b) a furburger or (c) a hippos yawn

An excellent choice le furburger
I thought furburger would have been feminine perhaps.

Enlighten me as to how this was a wind up post???
You then turned my post into having yet another dig at Wenger. I didn't mention Wenger in my post at all.
But nevermind, you wanted to brown nose all the other Wenger haters here and you probably succeeded.
I guess all my posts will be labelled just an attempt to wind up everyone here.
Funny thing is I've been critical of Wenger in the past but my generally positive posts here are way out of line.
We must bitch, moan and abuse our manager and players at every opportunity.
But I guess that is the way with the modern football fan.
In keeping with the title of this thread - welcome Mr Elneny.
I think you've presented very fair comments.
I thought he had an adequate debut. Is it his fault he isn't Vieira - no, should he have said no to the transfer - of course not.
There's a quite wordy Wenger thread dealing with decision making.

He is too lightweight, for Fuck sakes, he weighs in at around 8 stone dripping wet.....most teams have someone in the middle who will just out muscle him, understand Wenker does not like it but physical combat within limits is part of the game, not sure he understands
You buy Elneny because you know you have time to work with him for 2 years+, that in general explains Arsene's purchases and why we'll be here again in 2017.
Slightly worrying that this guy plays 2 and a half seasons in Switzerland (I know it's not the toughest league out there) and misses very few games due to injury, plays once for us and immediately joins the 'Diaby' Medical Wing at Colney......

It's the standard 'Fuck off to the gym' scenario.
The January window was wasted as was the summer; what a farce

Is he injured?? I thought he'd gone on paternity leave, that is supposed to be two weeks though isn't it?
