"Premier League clubs have voted to change the summer transfer window to bring it in line with the rest of Europe."
Leavers :haha:
"Take back control" :haha:
Bonkis :haha:
Fuckrage :haha:
Ukippers :haha:
Little englanders :haha:
Northerners :haha:
Racists :haha:
Daily Maul :haha:
The Scum :haha:
We're going to get that thing where we leave it until the end of the window again aren't we, which happens to be a month into the season, was never much of a fan of that, you should be bringing players in as early as possible, preferably by latest mid July.
We've left the EU get over it.
believe me i never wasn't 'over it' - this is where the fun really starts, i'm looking forward to maxing out the 'haha' emoji with stories of leavers losing their jobs :lol:
We need to drive Mustafi back across the Channel and then relentlessly all the way back to Germany. Whatever the cost may be!
Get rid of fucking Ozil.
That is the number one thing Arsenal HAVE HAVE HAVE to do.
No passion, no soul, no heart, no ability, no determination, no strength, therefore no value.
Get rid of the fucker.
i think he will definitely go in the summer, as there'll only be one year left on his contract
MLS
Hope we replace him if he goes. Because we don't have another player in the middle with a fraction of the talent. Nor do we have anyone else there who can pass a ball. So I don't want to be seeing Ozil heading out and Stan banking the savings to make his balance sheet look better.
Unless Özil is prepared to take something like an 80% pay cut, and bring his wages more in line with his return, then we can't afford him - it's that simple.
If our players want to be taking home that kind of money (and this goes for all of them) then they've got to be bringing CL revenue to the table - we've given them an extra 3 years on CL wages to prove that they can do it, but it hasn't happened, and now we're out of time. At this point, I think we need to consider offers for any player earning over £90k/wk - the only player above that level who I would say is 100% safe is Leno.
If he played for free, that would still be too much.
He is literally useless and I cannot see ANY club wanting him.
The only way is a 1 year loan deal which would take him up to the end of his contract.
Arsenal would have to pay at least 200k a week for a player who would literally do nothing for them.
Who is going to want a truly diabolical player ?
Mkhitaryan will most likely be back in the summer unless we reduce our demands, Roma will probably pay 9-10 million max, we want 20 million apparently.
He's 31, on 200k and frankly has been really poor for us, we should cut our losses and accept what we can get.

I won't be surprised if he is still our player by the end of the summer.
£10mill really is peanuts though.
Considering our financial situation (and the fact that we need to buy players in other positions) there's no chance of us signing an established replacement. It will either have to be another Ceballos type loan or some unknown youth. But that way at least we're getting £10m plus whatever wage savings we get (probably £6m+) which can help cover us on other signings.
Or we could keep him, we'll be in 4 competitions and playing every 3 days so we'll get mileage out of him at least for one more year while we sort out other issues.
I'd go with the first option but only if that extra money gets added to our transfer budget.
Chelsea signing Ziyech by the looks of it.

:rose:
Sancho is also expected to leave Dortmund.
United are the front runners.
I think we'll struggle to sign players in the summer, we've got a manager who nobody knows and has no record, probably won't have CL football and probably won't have much moneyand will lose our best player Aubameyang (and probably will keep hold of Xhaka and Mustafi).
So far we seem to be linked to a few lower league players and some ageing cheap players, if that's the way we're going to go are days as a club with any chance of challenging for anything are well and truly gone.
United will keep bribing players with huge wages to join their rolling crap show. They can afford to keep throwing money at the problem. maybe Poch will drop in to save them
Man U have no problem attracting top players, Pogba, Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Fernandes all huge money, they have an endless money pit to delve into.
They're not successful at the moment but are always in for the top players and the top players want to come after seeing them being so successful for some many years.
When you look at other clubs and how they go out and buy whoever they like you can't help but be envious, it sounds like we've got very little to spend, whilst Chelsea, Man U, Man City, Spurs and Liverpool will have plenty and they're all already better than us, even the likes of Everton will spend money no doubt.
This self sustainable model is a shocker and really a prehistoric model nowadays unless you're successful, we wasted so much money and have allowed a lot to go down the pan thanks to failure to keep players contracted or sell them before they are worth next to nothing, when you're trying to be self sustainable that's really amateurish.
Even last summers' spend was basically spread over several seasons (some of it all due next summer) so we've already hindered ourselves in future windows and with no CL to prop us up unless we somehow win the EL financially we won't have much.
Just to add to that we've now employed a rookie manager with zero experience to try and get us out of this whole, what a shambles.
like he 'saved' spuds by not winning anything and got sacked because they were on the slide?
i'm happy for him to go there, where he will inevtiably fail and be shown up for the whining fake he really is
anyway there is talk of Allegri going to Moan U
that's yet another top manager we've let slip through our hands...
Ziyech is only costing Chelsea between 30-40m.
Seems like a bargain in today’s market really.
Yeah not bad value, other clubs seem to be able to identify these guys why can't we. Instead we went and paid 72 million for Pepe (which apparently Lille were happy to accept because they thought he wasn't worth that much) and stagger the fee over who knows how many seasons.
What's worse is that he hasn't settled at all and that we actually needed to spend money on defenders at the time, if we could have signed someone for the price Ziyech is going for (£33.3 million potentially rising to £36.6 million) we'd have had about £40 million to spend on a defender.
The whole transfer policy is so flawed at this club, either we go too cheap and sign nobodies or if we do buy big we overpay for players that aren't worth the money, we don't even spend the money in the right places.
We could have signed Ziyech last summer but had no interest.
i think the Pepe problem is partly down to the fact that Emery and Freddie were out of their depth and Arteta is a rookie who it seems is already being taken for a ride by the eternal teachers's pets such as Xhaka, Mustafi etc.
he just needs coaching from someone more experienced and a consistent place in the team - forget all that sh*t about how hard he tries in training - anyone who can score two freekicks in ten minutes should get more backing
Hes too one-footed - thats his biggest problem right now. Hes got all the skill in the world, but until he gets comfortable switching to his right foot when he needs to hes always going to be predictable in open play. Hopefully hes been working on it - could be a very good player if he does...
