Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Man City plan to make a concerted effort to buy Sanchez from Arsenal this month. Gunners holding out for up to £40m but suspect final fee would be less if they agree to sell. Depends on whether Wenger thinks it is worth hanging on for another six months. https://t.co/tItkTF4cP7

Arsenal ready to do business on Francis Coquelin with West Ham keen https://t.co/42i3llvk1T

Just read the article, 10million and he has got 3 years left on his contract Jesus Christ?! We must be the only club that literally gives their players away, most players trade for 25mill in the Prem these days regardless of their ability.

Coq is pretty shit though. No one is going to pay much more than 10m for him.

Be reasonable. Who is going to pay more than that for a player who is not premiership quality

Aye, I don't care whether we keep him or not, just kind of found the fee a bit low given he has quite a bit left on his contract.

Coq is definitely Premiership quality, sure he doesn't exactly pull up any trees but I'd have thought we could get a bit more for him. 10million is what you pay for a standard Championship player.

Still, gets us two fifths of a Jonny Evans. Quick search down the sofa, release a new kit, maybe put out a Glory Glory Wenger - Be Careful What You Wish For DVD box set - we'll soon have the readies.

40 mill? They must be buying some hard core drugs with the fans' money. If we get 20 we've scraped a tiny consolation out of a throughly fucked up situation. But it'll probably be half that with add-ons that can be used to save face. Although at the gypos they might have to pay up, considering they actually want to win stuff.

He's still decidedly second rate. A body to stick out there on the pitch and be average. Not good enough if we have to suffer the handicap of Wenger. We need to move on from that. Wenger really has fucked this squad. I can still hear Letter's cackles when I said we need 8-9 decent players coming in to compensate for the fraud in charge. Unfortunately, if we refuse to change the manager then it is going to cost us big time in the transfer windows. A decent manager could get more from the squad and save us a ton of cash. But Kroenke is too thick or lazy to see it.

He is average. But we're seeing exactly what happens when we don't use a DM in this squad. What have we sacrificed him for? The criticism has been that he doesn't offer much going forward but we still have that problem without him in the team along with no protection for our defence.

He's an average no frills player but we're watching Wenger try to bypass the need of a defensive minded midfielder and we're getting killed. He's the only DM we have and there seems to be no sign of a replacement on the way.

Agreed. We have some awful negotiators in place. Didn't Spurs get £19m for bentaleb? We constantly have our pants pulled down.
