Summer transfer joy and happiness

Talk that Xhaka could be Arsenal captain. Could well be the worst Arsenal captain in the history of Arsenal, the guy should be sold not be made captain. I'd rather make someone like Lacazette or maybe Torreira or Sokratis captain, we don't have a great choice but Xhaka would be the worst of the lot.

If Emery makes him captain, you have to question this guys' judgement.

i already was - a lot - but this certainly doesn't help...

No point wasting your energy. He doesn’t even support Arsenal.

This is coming from the bloke who does NOT want Kroenke to put some of his own money in.

I support Arsenal but I am a realist first and foremost.

You're a moany arse, is what you are.
You previously said it would be a "miracle" if we finished top 4 or won a trophy this season despite the fact that last season we were 2 points away from top 4 and got to a European cup final so were close to landing a pretty major trophy and finishing in the top 4. We nearly did both last year, how is it suddenly a "miracle" if we do either?
Being a realist is understanding that we have no change of the title for the foreseeable and with our owner we are going to struggle to get any closer to the biggest trophies, not the hyperbole you spout about how terrible everything is.

[dostoy]

We nearly did both means we actually did neither.

I cannot see any cause for optimism about anything to do with Arsenal at the moment.

Lets not get into name calling.

Zaha has told Palace he wants to leave.

Arsenal have improved their bid to £40,000,001

[dazthegooner]

£40,000,000 too much.

We nearly did both means we actually did neither.

Correct. But we were close enough to doing both to suggest that your assertion that it would be a “miracle” if we do either is a bit of a stretch. Although I do agree there isn’t much cause for optimism, I think you’re somewhat overstating how bad things are. Apologies for the name calling

Well looks like the Saliba deal had been done. https://www.skysports.com/football/n...william-saliba

Yes unfortunately he won't be available next season, so in terms of signings right now it doesn't help us at all, it's one for next season.

It's great to get these guys lined up, but we also need players now.
