The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

[SteveO 35]

How nice of us to consider selling Giroud to Chaski. I mean.....its only good and proper after they sold us the keeper who would turn us into champions with his winning mentality

Just the very mention of that helmet headed piece of shit is enough for me to wish 50 years bad luck on those c.unts from the Bridge

Cock features has just given his usual press conference, transfer window Bullshit Bingo response "we are still open" and "we are not close to signing anybody"

Aubameyang isn't coming - still hoping either a top six rival, or even more embarrassingly a lower level PL team sign him from under the old wanker's nose

Annoyingly, this Aubamayeng deal is beginning to drag. They want £3m more than we have offered, that's the equivalent of a matchday revenue from a home game or Kroenke's fee. Sure they can get the players to have a whip round to find it.

Giroud, unfortunately will have to go to the shammers or palace if he wants regular football. He won't get regular game time at any of the top clubs around Europe.

Its beginning to drag in the way Higuaín deal dragged, for the same fucking reason. It ain't happening !

it makes the AKBs think something is happening though

[Henry Norris 1913]

Yeah, it became painfully obvious yesterday that it ain't happening. But it got the fans on side while they sold their best player in January.

Wouldn't be surprised to hear we pull out if they do accept

Another one for the 'nearly signed XI' no doubt

I was reading SFB's post Alexis sale diatribe about how it was his last big pay deal, and sometimes you have to say no......blah blah blah.....expect the same with Aubameyang to be honest. Bit different to the spin a couple of years ago saying how we could buy almost every player in the world

[BFG4]

I posted on here last weekend that i didn't think we would sign Aubameyang, and some got all excited seeing Gazidis and co. in Germany, apparently sealing the deal . The reality is that regardless of how good our negotiators are, once they are being held back by Kroenke(and to an extent Wenger) then there is fuck all they can do. I'm sure they were told we weren't going to be paying higher than x amount, and once Dortmund asked for that, we weren't going to be meeting their asking price. This embarrassing tightness has been going on for years, and has led to a long list of 'what might have been's' in terms of players we have missed out on.

You have to laugh at Chelsea's transfer list as they were looking at Peter Crouch and now Giroud. Has Wenger got a brother in there or something?

Gazidis loves being seen looking busy, remember he and Wenger in Nice about to seal the deal!....

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

Never expected anything less tbh but how on gods green earth does any supporter have nothing but contempt for Wenger, kroenke et al I struggle to comprehend.

I know Wenger keeps telling the media he will tell all "one day" when he intends to release his biography but if it's anything like his dealings in the transfer market then it ain't coming

[Rosie_titters]

Penny pinching again i see. The deals for Aubameyang and Evans won't happen because the club stubbornly won't offer an extra few quid.

[sk-gtfo]

How any fan can be arsed with this club anymore I really don't know, we show zero ambition, lose our best players over and over and over again, play dull football most of the time and are owned and run (into the ground) by two complete w@nkers.

My interest in Arsenal and football in general I have to say has never been at such a low level.

Boring sh*t game run by corporate money men and foreign oil money, wtf is there to be excited about?.

F*ck off, no matter how sh*t things were in the 80's 90's at least there was some passion, this is just utter sh*te.

BORED.

At least Feo's gone fellas. 'Le Lampost' goes and it's been a successful January window !! Oh for another Big John R.
