The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

Sanchez now 3/100 to join manure now. Wenger confirms deal is likely to happen

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/ ... -to-happen

I am really starting to hate Wenger with a passion. How has he allowed things to get this bad.

[Bob Bayliss]

The reception the likes of Cole, Fabregas and RvP have received has been ridiculous. They all recognised a manager who had no ambition and made sensible career moves. This served to take the heat off Wenger. No doubt they will boo Sanchez when he comes back with United. Twats.

Ashley Cole? He didn’t recognise Wenger had no ambition. He wanted more money. We got our fingers burned for trying to fuck him around but let’s not pretend he was some sort of visionary who saw back in early 2005 that Wenger was a busted flush rather than simply going for the money.

No player of ours in modern times has deserved to get more stick and it’s a bit sad if your hatred of Wenger somehow alters that reality.

Absolutely 100% bang on the phone molesting little cúnt's head there.

Also, this modern phenomenon of booing ex-players is not an Arsenal thing, it's a "modern football fan" thing. It happens just as much at every other club.

Let's get this straight: I am no lover of Ashley Cole, but let's look where the blame really lay over his departure. He was greedy for money, sure, many players are and bears still shit in the woods. But by the time he left he was not only a world class player with ambition but one of the few invincibles with a shelf life of more than a couple of years still at the club. It's fair to say that by the time he left the team were already in sharp decline. The run to the Champions' League Final largely disguised this. We lost 11 league games that year and scraped into fourth spot because of Spurs's food poisoning nightmare on the last day (haha). Vieira had left, Dennis was finishing, Sol was becoming a shadow of the rock he had been and Thierry buggered off one season later, albeit to Barca. By the time Cashley left we were already becoming a selling club with no ambition - Chelsea clearly had plenty.

Remember too that Wenger subsequently paid many far inferior players obscene wages for years (not least the bloke we've just got rid of to Everton) compared to the £55k a week Cole was offered and rejected in favour of what Chelsea were prepared to pay him. Our socialist wage structure was Wenger's doing.

So I repeat, I am no great lover of Cashley, but nor do I "hate" him for deciding not to take the offer on the table from Arsenal under the circumstances. He was a professional, and if he'd stayed under Wenger he would have been dragged down with him.

For fucks sake Bob - we get it!! You don't love Cashley!!

FFS.

Tbh Theo wasn't good enough for us but i sometimes wonder with the right manager and coaches how good he could have been. Anyway good luck to him and it will be interesting to see how he gets on under fat Sam, i expect he'll get consistent game time if nothing else due to their lack of strikers up there.

The injury proneness is a valid point too, you look at some of the players we've had over the years who have suffered injury after injury and then reoccurance of the injury and it begs serious questions of our training and coaching, there is also a major question mark over our medical team as well and i wonder if with all the changes behind the scenes whether someone will eventually ask questions about them too

Not good enough for us? When he was a regular starter we never finished outside the top 4. He played 63mins in the league this season and we're 6th. This season he has played in league cup and Europa League and we finished top of the group and we've got to the semi final of the league cup. It's not all down to him, and yes, he had a stinker at forest, but when you consider Iwobi is his regular replacement in the first team you're seriously not looking at his stats, just following the crowd. Given that he wasn't coached rarely got an opportunity to play in the role that brought him to us, and hasn't got to the levels we expected, he still scored 1 in 4 games from the wing. Over 12 years how many wingers have got those numbers in the premier league? It was time for him to move and I wish him well at Everton.

Sorry mate 'The Boy Wonder' is and always has been shit. Maybe he should have been a professional sprinter instead - oh no wait - he wouldn't get some poor fucking club like ours paying him fucking heaps for doing fuck all. See how he goes as captain in the championship with Everton. He probably wont even get in the team. But on a lighter note "good luck to him" & "thanks for fuck all".

Wenger talking today about Wally...some strange wording...

"Personally I'm very attached to Theo, because he's a person who is intelligent, has complete integrity, total commitment and focus on his job," Wenger told a news conference on Thursday.

And this is the problem we have with Wenger. He is attached to "nice boys" who don't rock the boat and don't care whether the team are winning or not so long as they get their overblown wages. He is averse to world-class players with ambition who may be temperamental but will not settle for second best. It is what made Brian Clough the genius he was: at his peak, he did not shy away from signing difficult characters such as Dave Mackay, Kenny Burns and John Robertson. He could get the best from them. Fergie too could handle the likes of Roy Keane and Cantona.

The old duffer is by inference trying to say that whilst his ickle Theo (thank fuckk he's gone btw) is 'Intelligent' ( ) Yeah! right and Loyal ( well he did hang in there for 12 years getting on average £120k a week ) for being mediocre (but LOYAL!) Whilst the likes of Alexis Sanchez a World Class Player who by not being loyal has challenged wenger's authority and Forced a Move from under his bad management in order to Win Trophies and Titles - is Utterly Despicable and Not Loyal and so of course having shown wenger to be the fool he is must also be un-intelligent.

Yup! Wenger in full it's him not me that's to blame mode.

wenger u cunnt. just fuckthefuckOFF.

Michael Zorc (Dortmunds sporting director) has issued a statement directed at wenker after the old c.unts presser this morning - basically he slated us and stated that our club has made no official contact with dortmund, and that he "would assume that arsene wenger would have enough to worry about with his own players performances" Talk about a bitch slapping

[nut flush gooner]

Sanchez going to be on £500k a week, not going for the money then is he.

Great so all this talk of Aubemeyang replacing Sanchez and it now looks like we've p*ssed them off and wont be getting him, at least that is the clubs PR move f*cked then.

Micky Mouse Armenian is our replacement for Sanchez.. or wait is it Ozil's replacement when he leaves in the summer?.

Good luck with those ST renewals!

Arsenal's PR dept in action again?.

[GranadaJoe]

Sanchez going to be on £500k a week, not going for the money then is he.

I've seen this story in a couple of papers, but I struggle to believe it. At the start of the Sanchez saga, papers were reporting that he wanted 300 to 350k pw. Why would a club offer more than he was asking for? An amortized 5 million signing on fee would only equate to c.20k pw.
Also, no other club seems to be willing to pay anywhere near that amount.

However, I hope it is true, because even for Manure that's a lot of money, and there might be a Pogba or de Gea looking for a payrise and many squad players will be very disgruntled.

Apparently he's got a rather large pending tax bill from his time at Barca.

The last line of his quote about not being able to compete with Utd or City

Financially, yes (unable to compete) but that doesn’t mean we cannot compete on the pitch - exactly you old fart, on the pitch is where we don’t compete too many not prepared to work, to many in the comfort zone, no discussing of mistakes to correct them
