Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Aubameyang may or may not happen (since it's actually costing us nothing because we've raised it from selling players it could) but:

Oh no, not his shit again!

Just pay Dortmund what they are asking for, it hasn’t cost us any extra as the money is all from players sold - you fucking thieving bastards!!

edit: actually is that a wind up zim? I can’t find anything from any news outlets about it??

Edit, edit: I get it now

I'd keep Giroud.

There's a lack of good tall, target man strikers hence why Chelsea are looking at complete rejects.

He's a great asset and great at changing the game, and adding a different dimension.

But would you keep him even if it meant the deal for Aubameyang breaks down? Is he worth that much? There aren't many World Class strikers on the market. That has to outweigh a good Plan B striker.

The thing is, we don’t need to give them Giroud, we have the money to buy Aubameyang outright.

I don’t think Giroud is great but I wouldn’t want to let go of him just yet either.

We should be strengthening the squad, not replacing or number for number.
We need some kind of depth

Looks like they've run out of ideas at Pravda HQ. Bad news on Aubameyang imminent then? Let me guess. Our lowball offer was rejected and we've settled for blaming the gypos for inflating the transfer market?

EDIT: Go me. This is FAR more believable than the Aubameyang transfer nonsense.

There is no deal for Aubameyang. All we've done is what we always do. Stick in a lowball offer. Not only will Bif be going nowhere, he'll be our main striker again once Lacazette gets fed up enough with Wenker and starts looking for the exit.

They're keeping the money. That's what they are in this for.

Pigba is already squealing for more cash. They'll have to move a new pig trough into his sty to carry all the dosh.

And for what, I wonder? I know the media says he's pure class, and I'm sure that's true, but it's a bit hard to spot it when you actually watch him play.

you are probably right!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getting a bit hysterical when people somehow forget Higuain is not still at Marketing.

I think that's a bit disingenuous anyway given we have signed Ozil and Sanchez since then though, yes granted we've not signed everybody we've been heavily linked with.
