As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

What will your fans' attitude towards him this season be like knowing that he's not only moving to your biggest footballing rivals, but that he's shafting you and depriving you of a potentially 50m euro transfer fee?
Must be particularly frustrating because it's just typical Bayern tactics.
Well, the missed out transfer fee is one point. BVB got him fairly cheap (transfer fee and wages) and his return has been so far two champion titles, one cup title and one champions league final, not to bad !
The club has lifted his salary for the last season over 5 Million Euros (that means he will double it to almost 10 Million from next season on at Bayern) and hopefully he pays that amount of money back with goals and after the season he is off, then the fans will just lived with it.
That is unfortunately the way modern football works for most of these players

After themanure debacle and us getting thrashed 8 -2 (admittedly all kinds of things went wrong that day) you would have thought he's have learnt a lesson, yet we are now traipsing over old & familiar ground...our squad is rice paper thin...okay so he HAS got rid of some of the rubbish - but he should have done that 3 seasons ago at least..Dog help us if we get any serious injuries...
What I just CANNOT understand is that he is obviously (academically speaking) an intelligent man - erudite, philosophical, multi-lingual etc etc etc I mean he totally changed the way football is played in the Prem - becaus eof the many new training and health care programmes - even Fergie & co followed his lead...on the sports science developments he introduced....numerous players (Adams, Dixon, Bould, Wrighty et cetera) have all said he added 2 - 3 seasons to their playing lives......and yet he Now seems incapable of grasping what 99% of the footballing public (managers/players/fans/pundits) all 'see' That his present way of doing things no longer work as they once did...
Arsenal (on their day) still play beautiful football - But we no longer have enough of the quality players with enough skill and intelligence etc to pull that off every week - so why can't he 'see' it is all going down the pan and that we are just drowning not waving?

I just do not get it.
The answer is very simple: Wenger has lost his marbles, is now senile and suffers from delusions of grandeur.
As a naive German as I'm my friends please let me allow the question, is this a special window in Great Britain? I mean is there something about this window which we don't know in Germany? Here it works like if you want a player you ask how much the transfer fee and wages are and if you want him you pay that amount of money and if another club offer’s more you think about if you really want him and if so you just pay more and then you get the player or if he is too expensive for your budget you look for another one which is less expensive, obviously you don't get the same quality. For me it looks like this window works differently at your part of the football world, can that be ?!

The window always works differently for the senile fucking *word censored* that we have in charge!

Don't forget our big game was against udinese that week.
Great banner. I wonder if the people who unfurled it have been handed lifetime bans?
To be honest (if it was real), there are still many Wenger Supporters at Emirates, those people probably got a slap! It will be interesting at 4.50 today if we lose, I reckon that there will be little pockets of fighting between the Arsenal fans who disagree about Arseface W##nker. There was last season.
http://www.welt.de/sport/fussball/inter ... jagen.html Mit einem prall gefüllten Geldbeutel sucht auch Arsenal-Coach Arsene Wenger nach Verstärkung. "Wir werden bis zum Ende der Transferperiode noch tätig", sagte der Franzose, dem angeblich 80 Millionen Euro zur Verfügung stehen, ausgegeben hat er noch nichts. "Wir wollen mit einer jungen, hungrigen Truppe angreifen", versichert Per Mertesacker, der die "Gunners" am Samstag gegen Aston Villa als Kapitän anführen wird. Teamkollege Lukas Podolski ergänzt: "Man muss höllisch aufpassen. In jedem Spiel geht es um alles."
With a tightly filled wallet Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is looking for reinforcement. He says "We will be active until the end of the transfer period, the transfer window is still open," said the Frenchman, who has supposedly 80 million euros available, he has not spent it yet. "We want to attack with a young, hungry squad " says Per Mertesacker, who will lead the "Gunners" as skipper against Aston Villa on Saturday. Teammate Lukas Podolski added: "One must be extremely careful, each game is about everything''
