Now Chamberlain is joining... Seriously, what the FUCK are you playing at Wenger!!! Does he honestly think we'll even have the slightest of chances of winning the league by signing a bunch of teenagers!?!?!

1 week away and the squad is actually laughable. It's unfortunate how we've turned out. A feeder club for City, gambling on youth and fringe French players, such a shame...

You really do not have any moral principles do you?

Laughable? Arsenal? Get your pass for Gooner Towers and leave it on the table before closing the door behind you......

For once Demun I agree with you. Having said that, I'm happy to be proved wrong. :barscarf:

Have a think about who we sold to City and for how much and how 2 of the 3 have got on since they left.

26, 75 caps
world cup semi, euro final
6'6" win everything in the air, scores (often important) goals, hardly ever carded, bit slow on the turn

Ok i'll do that, would you like me to leave it gift wrapped for you or a friend?

By 'laughable' i mean the unrest in the squad, the useless defence, Squillaci in particular, who is a joke of a defender...

I reckon you should look a little further into this transfer, it wont be £15m it is mooted as a £12m deal and this is after all possible add-ons, the up front fee i am sure will be around £7m when you take into account the fee's that are going round for Young English players this is a steal.

Chamberlain is a very very talented footballer and will ADD to our SQUAD

Add to where and it is 12mill up front .

An up-front fee of £12million has been negotiated with Saints but this figure will rise by a further £3million through add-ons, Press Association Sport understands.

15 million pounds for an unproven 17 year old from the 3rd Division.

How the fuck is that a steal? What players have went for similar?
Henry went to Barcelona for similar money...

Ramsey was only 5m? :oops: :oops:
