Groundhog summer transfer window thread

[arseofacrow]

We've actually got one less striker than we started with?

A big middle finger to Arsenal fans.

[Bradywasking]

IVAN SIGNED THE PUMA CONTRACT
ARSENE WILL SIGN HIS CONTACT
WHAT DO YOU WANT

We have missed a chance this season which is more criminal than 2008...Probably wouldn't have won the title or Champions league but we could have been competitive...Liverpool can close to three points before we play tomorrow..I don't think the VT is a certainty now.

[Lee1]

Loan signee Swedish whatever.....big (no) deal! With City cranking it up year on year this year is a potential golden chance now to be wasted and not repeated. If the Draxler deal,for example,was genuinely on but HE wouldn't spend the money...what can you say! Bidding war in summer,we lose out (or pay more than in January) but HE trousers his £8m a year. Fucking disgrace...sorry,but it is. Going tomorrow with a sense of doom. You do my fucking head in Arsenal!

[augie]

We've ended the window with one less striker than we started with

A team trying to win the title is heading into the business end of the season with Giroud leading the line, backed up by a guy who in the summer said he never wanted to play for us again & a perma-crock postman from Ligue 2

Just repeat that to yourself a few times. Fuck me, aren't you glad we all left Highbury for this?!

And that is the summation to end all summations

Like bradywasking BFG4 and mutley, I can honestly say that I feel that virtual trophy is far from assured and I for one dont give a flying fcuk If there was any doubt in your minds that money is our number 1 aim every season then this transfer window should eradicate those doubts and as long as we continue to qualify for the champs league nothing will change so a period of 5th and 6th place finishes would be more beneficial to the club going forward.

Can I also say that if Jesus was to appear before me tomorrow and tell me that we will not make top 4 for the next 3 seasons, then I hope that wenker signs a new contract at the club - firstly I dont want some other poor sucker coming in to sort this c*nts mess out (a la moyes at manure) and getting blamed for no top 4 finishes, but secondly I feel that it would be poetic justice if the man who is doing his best to dismantle our FOOTBALL club will then have his rep tarnished in the publics eyes the way we have seen it for years now

Who would have predicted these comments from arseblog eh ?

"Of course most of us would have liked a striker to come in, but it’s not to be and what we have we hold. However, I can’t recall any deal taking place yesterday which made me think ‘Well, why didn’t we do that?’"

"Beyond that I don’t really remember anybody extolling the virtues of a striker who would have been the man that everybody could agree on"
Those 2 comments translate into "who is out there that is better than what we have got" and "who is out there that we could have signed" - classic defence of wenker defence disciples

Or how about

"So, while it’s disappointing that we didn’t manage to find that player who could have provided a lift and a boost as we go into the final part of the season, I think we need to step back from the ledge a bit and look at what we have. And that’s a good team which has, over the last 12 months, gained more Premier League points than any other. We’re in the title fight and we’ve got some real quality in this side"
Ah yes that wonderful calender year trophy again....stay tuned for the parade to islington hall readers

[Eboue-Why?]

As was said earlier, if the Draxler deal really was on, and the boy is a genuine top talent destined to go to the top and the Board had the cheque book open but Wenger then decided no, then part of me (and I hate saying this) wants a poor result tomorrow so that he gets some grief from the fans.
Also, if we really made late loan bids for two other forwards then he really is a twat. You either need a striker or you don't. If you do then get in there early, do your business and then sit back and relax.
I said to someone last night that if we flop between now and May then that'll be it for me and STs. I know, I know, when the renewals come round it's gonna be tough to follow it through because I've been going for more years than I care to remember but there's only so much we should be asked to stomach and the thought that you're having the piss taken out of you gets to a level where enough is enough.
United needed Mata and paid what The Chavs wanted. If the chance to sign someone potentially top drawer was on but Wenger decided it was too much then it's total and utter bollocks.
I'm off to Anfield next week to see what real money can buy you. We could have Bendtner leading the line but I may be looking at what we could have had if we had a Manager who was happy to pay the going rate for World Class players.
If I die between now and May, my solicitors will be in touch with Wenger for causing me unecessary levels of stress

[augie]

The question the wenker needs to be asked is

"if that draxler non story was indeed a lot of media bollox (as you have claimed) then what have you been doing for the last month ? Obviously you havent been trying to broker a deal for draxler and I refuse to believe that you spent 4 weeks trying to negotiate a deal for a swede 3 years past his best (and he wasnt all that even then ), so wtf have you been doing ?

[Midz]

Wenger and the Arsenal hierarchy really are all a bunch of **nts!!

[This is our club!]

Did I just see on SSN that we tried to loan Cisse too? This along with Kalou and also Klose? Not sure how true these reports are but if they are true then I am lost for words!!! That is appalling!! Basically, we do the minimum for the maximum profit, no interest in using all of our vast resources and it is so easy to blame city and the chavs for paying the money. Arsene/the board resent spending money but are more than happy to fleece the fans! Wenger and the board are one and the same, get them out! When a AKB tells me about city/chavs spending obscene amounts of money, I quickly point out Wenger's huge salary....he is a hypocritical cretin

I used to like Arseblog but stopped reading his blog a long time ago, quoting the 12 month trophy, I despair of these people, it is a cult, Goebels would have been happy with how Arsenal have managed to brainwash the majority on the definition of success!

[mcdowell42]

I read arseblog everyday but this mornings post has me shaking my head,but theres alot of arsenal fans out there who would agree with every word.I dont know much about our new signing except he hasnt played a game since november and tht was for sweden.By the time he gets match fit flamini will be back ,i feel sorry for fans paying top dollar for tickets,to have the piss taken out of them by the greedy hungry whores at arsenal.

Agree with this. Arseblog used to be a pretty decent read a few years back, but then the club started pulling him in, offering little perks, inside access, giving away his book with the membership packs etc.

Now its like the club can do no wrong...

He's been working day and night scouting every single player in the world mate.....thought you knew that

[BFG4]

Ive said it before, the media are too easy on that French prick. When he sprouts his nonsense, they never call him on it. Will we hear in the next press conference, a question like, Arsene, if you needed a striker, why did you wait until the last moment of the window to get a player, no we wont. Instead we will hear the bullshit questions about nothing.

[GranadaJoe]

Kim Kallstrom was always the player to get early on in Championship Manager 01/02.

He was, along with Cherno Samba, Javier Saviola, Tonton Zola Moukote,etc.

If he can do half as well as them .........
