Call me cynical but the Lemar bid smacks of typical Arsenal - make a huge bid knowing it is not going to be accepted. They can then say at least we tried...

Nutshell!

So we're going to have Sanchez wanting to leave and probably "injured" for the next few months , we have Mustafi who wants to leave, the club were happy to sell and can't get in the team because left backs are playing in his position, we have Ramsey apparently falling out with Wenger at Liverpool then getting hauled off and now tweeting about players leaving.
It must be a cracking atmosphere in the dressing room!!!

It's going to be a complete cluster fuck of a season....and sick bastard that i am, I'm sort of looking forward to it.

Same. It is so stale, boring and predictable on the field under this regime it will be more entertaining to see things fall to pieces. Bring on the chaos.

So 92m bid for alemar turned down..yeah right. What about the so called late Draxler bid. That died a death quickly. Half arsed bullshit waffle about transfers attempts, sum up the lying feckers ambitions, the lot of them are frauds

Top quality players will not want to come to a club in crisis, especially where a manager deliberates over accepting a short term contract over the best part of a season...
Top quality players want to leave our club because we are in crisis, and are prepared to take a pay cut in the process...

We are a club in crisis....

Crisis club! Shambles! Embarrassing! Implosion!
The day has finally arrived that most have been expecting for at least a couple of years.
Usmanov needs to strike and take control now. Wenger must bite his pride and go now!
This is like a bad marriage that has turned toxic and no amount of mediation will mend it.

I knew things were bad at the club but the events of this past week have genuinely left me stunned - things are worse, far worse than probably any of us realised.

Arsenal now we are out of the top 4 are going to sink fast and nobody at the club has a clue what to do about it. Even if we now sack Wenger it will take years to get back to compete again. Wenger is going to go down in history as our worst ever manager (albeit for a brief period one of our best).

This is no longer Groundhog Day - things are getting really bad and the club is now out of control, overseen by a mad man, and an owner who is more interested in his US sports franchises.

This is such a complete farce that it seems appropriate to paraphrase Oscar Wilde...

"There is only one thing worse than selling Alexis Sanchez, and that is not selling Alexis Sanchez."

I am not sure he will grizzle and sulk, but he is hardly going to be putting in 100%. Still, never mind, as Wenger said, not being in the CL wouldn't have a major impact on anything. That's a relief, it must mean that Lemar & Co signed for us after all.

Me too. Rather a complete clusterfuck than treading water.

Don't forget we were happy to entertain bids for Chambers as well. :barscarf:

It has to go down in flames. :barscarf:
