Transfer Rumours Thread

If he lets Nasri , Clichy and Cesc go and doesn’t buy 3 ready made proven replacements plus the additions we needed in the first place then the *word censored* deserves everything he gets.

There's still 2 months to go, I'm really not worried at all. Yes, we should be getting the majority of our business done in good time, but now is not the stage to be worrying too much.

If the team isn't strengthened we could well be out of the CL and the Prem within 2 months.

[selsdon]

And in those two mths Utd's new signings are settling in, getting to know team mates and generally prepping up for next season.

Our squad are busy angling for moves away, twittering and listening to their leader talking bollocks as usual.

Again you are basing a criticism on an assumption. I'm not a Wenger apologist, just baffled by people assuming something is going to happen and moaning about it.

Not sure if that's addressed to me but I would add that if people cannot be worried about our upcoming transfer dealings based on what has happened in every other transfer window for almost half a decade then I don't know what we can worry about.

Do you honestly believe this one will be different to all the others? Honestly?

I would say it is totally acceptable to be worried based on historical repetition.

Because sometimes all you can go on is previous form and recent history under wenger aint good. When you also factor in the sight of our so called rivals strengthening and our club appearing to be sitting on their thumbs then it dont look good - I suppose our lack of signings thus far can be pointed to as evidence to back up our fears and we all know how important evidence is to some on here of late

I also think we lack enough quality depth to compete on four fronts and endure the brutalities of the actual English game as it is currently allowed to be played. If one of the needed players is in the youth ranks, then much better than splashing – but, alas, I don’t see it, but I don’t see these young players up close any more than you or anyone else does. If they are not there, then I fervently hope that Arsene is actually granted splash money. And, all this said, I still affirm that you or I don’t really know what will happen in the forthcoming window, no matter how much gnashing of teeth you may or may not prefer. If nothing along these lines is done, or nothing convincing along other lines (my analysis of our needs is hardly gospel), then I will THEN have to take stock with the situation at that time – when I then know more than either of us know right now. I think the main difference between us is not that I’m a blind loyalist (I’m not), but that I’m willing to acknowledge that I don’t know anything right now, and you are willing to say that you absolutely know what will be based on your version of Arsenal’s disappointing past. Let’s agree (hopefully) to meet up again about this on, after the transfer follies are over and done with, and take stock.

Can someone respond with a "no problem you dozy *word censored*"?

[Boomer]

I am leaving Arsenal within the next two weeks. Thank you for all your support and great memories. You all will always be in my heart.

I will announce the club im joining once the deal is officially confirmed.I wouldn't want to say anything now in order to avoid disruptions.

I'd presume its legit as Jack's, Rio and RVP all follow him!?

[mikeyb772001]

We will sell before we buy. Wenger has already said he expects it to get busy end of july at least

My belief is that if you can see it, Arsene certainly can see what’s valid in what you describe, especially as it was manifest in the last month’s collapse. That last month took its visible toll on his health and bearing. The man is not the blind bat you caricature. That said, I can’t refute what you/we found in retrospect about some players. Nor do I have your years of evaluating the calibre of players on the pitch. I must bow to that. But I can also say that you are leaving out an entire dimension in analyzing our woes – especially here on UA. That is, the role played by the ref-shite documented in Walter’s end-of-season reports (which UA, in my view, should put in a special visible box for all to re-read and reference as we go forward). Any analysis that does not include an assessment of to what extent we are not playing on a level pitch is one-sided. To assess ourselves, we need honesty about both player quality/manager skills and ref-performance. If you say only your player analysis counts and dismiss the ref-analysis (I don’t know if you do) as making “excuses,â€

The *word censored*'s not even trying to pretend anymore

[FrenchGun]

What baffles me is people like you who get fed with bullshit for the last 6 years but still assume that "this time it will be different".

@piriestible

Like the mass defections that are about to happen now .... Also last season's last month collapse mirrored that of the previous season's last month, with Wenger looking ill and agitated .... and what did he do??? *word censored* all as usual!!!!
