If we do buy anyone this month then it will be down to wiggy knowing fuck all about football because if I was the owner and a manager pissed away 65 million on Havertz, I'd tell Arteta to fuck off before I give him another cent to spend.

^^^ This. All day long.

I'm hoping the renewals for Eddie and Nelson were as much to do with making sure they don't walk out the door for nothing (as happened oh so often in the era of the great economist :roll: ) as it was about thinking they were the definitive answers to our squad.

If we got say, 20m for Nelson and 30m for Eddie, which in today's insane market isn't beyond the realms of possibility, then 50 mill in the bank where once we would have got sweet fuck all for the likes of - Sanchez, Ramsey, Lacazette will show at the very least the era of gross mismanagement of outgoings is finally being addressed.


That theory falls down the minute palace pick up the phone and ask about buying nketieh and are told to piss off cos he aint for sale :cry: :banghead:

But this is exactly the point, Wiggy & Wiggy Jnr are Business men who are in it to make Money / Profit and expand their empire/portfolio's :blah: :blah: I don't know if they have any Advisor's within their company who does know anything about football, but I get the feeling they are relying on Edu and if that's the case :suicide:

I championed him on here when he was a watford player and we were linked with him - sometimes I think he can be a bit greedy, but he does work hard and would score more goals than jesus or nketieh

Yes, but Chep was more intelligent, he could move quicker and he could also round up a flock of sheep in no time; something Nketiah & Jesus could never do.... AND he was Cheaper!

Shocked we didn't add to our long list of ex Chelski duds and try to get Timo Werner.

Is Robert Fleck still available?

i Have said it before and I will say it again, if Smith-Rowe doesnt leave this month it is because either the player himself is refusing to go, OR (more likely) that someone above el basque is blocking his exit, cos there is no way that anyone can convince me that diet pep wants or rates smith-rowe - I think the people running the club are well aware that smith-rowe is popular with the fanbase, and it is for that reason that I think they wont sanction his sale, but I think el basque would sell him in a heartbeat

Mikel Arteta on signing a striker this month:

"At the moment it doesn't look realistic. My job is to improve the players we have."

🎥 @beINSPORTS

Arteta asked about signing a striker:

"What I ask the supporters is they stay behind the team."

I think Arteta would love to buy a striker...... You know, someone like Raheem Sterling...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, we don't have a pot to piss in at the moment so it's impossible to buy without selling and it's crazy to consider selling three squad players to buy a mediocre striker who may be available. Our squad is weak enough as it is.

He ain't selling his boyfriend Havertz, he wants crazy money for Eddie even though he won't play him much and he wants to let ESR rot completely on the bench (ESR must have seen Arteta balls deep in Havertz's arse at some stage).

Arteta's says we need a reset...... The team don't, it's Arteta who needs the reset, his judgement of players is way way wide of the mark, badly, :roll: and until that is addressed we are not winning anything.
