No one club has actually done that yet. If the complaint is that we havent set a world record fee on a transfer....why should we? There are 4-6 clubs with higher turnovers in world football. If it serves our purposes to do so based on the profile of the correct player, then I would suggets we should like anybody else. But it shouldn't be pathological that we spend record fees.Quote:

Midfiddler? Helps to keep everything up.
Disgusting, despicable dirty dego Barca cunts putting out stories trying to drive a wedge between Bellerin and Arsenal. Such filth.
United sign Victor Lindelof for £30m.
Oh
Strange. Surely they could have spent 50 mill? Seems such a small amount for them, almost not worth the effort. And they didn't even let him go on a free a few years back. Very odd deal for them.Quote:

Footballers, their agents and the shitty sports media who pretend this is all about sport are some of the worst people alive. I get it if you were earning 100 quid a week and somebody offered you 200 quid to jump ship. Now you can feed your kid so fuck the principles. But you earn 6 figures a week and you still throw every principle in the garbage so you can grab more? You have to be a total cunt to behave like that. Where's the love of the game gone? Isn't that what thee wankers claim they are in it for? To win accolades and adoration based on their sporting endeavours? Bullshit! They want trophies so Nike will show them some love.
Meanwhile, Wenger flying the flag for prudence. But taking it way too far as always. We're close to signing some nobody who we don't need called Aleksandr Golovin. 21 year old midfielder. Has potential :doh:
Beat off mighty Lazio apparently.
So now we have a potentially good striker, a potentially good midfielder and a full back who sounds like he's about as good as we already have.
Now that Wenger has git his foot back in the door, he's doing what he's always done. Nowhere nearly enough. Less than the bare minimum.
And still this fantasy nonsense about Mbappe gets spun out. Surely they can't string that all the way to the window closing? It would do us a huge favour if Madrid could get that deal done sharpish so Wenger loses his cover.
They don't need to string it out till the end of the transfer window just until the season tickets are renewed.Quote:

If this Wenger bloke spends this window signing new pet projects and fails to land at least two world class and experienced players that we need, in positions we need to be filled, then it shows either his utter contempt for everyone at Arsenal, including the owner and the board, or the extent to which he's out of his depth as a manager at a top football club. Either way, he should be sacked if he can't even prepare the team pre-season for a proper title challenge. Who could argue against that?
Let's hope his current dicking around signing players we don't need is merely the sideshow rather than the main event. But Wenger is so damn arrogant it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's already forgotten about last season and the hostility he caused and has already resolved to blunder on with more of the same old bullshit. Better not be the case. Wouldn't like to be in his clown shoes if he thinks he can get away with his shit too many times.
Arsenal's Russian scout:
I hope this is true. What I mean is I hope it's true we won't sign him, rather than I hope it's true about the player but Wenger will sign him anyway.Quote:
"This player is not talented enough for European level and it's unrealistic to discuss his transfer to a top EPL club," he told Russian outlet Sports.
"Alexander would need to improve his football in general, as well as his physical, psychological and mental attributes."
What's the point of adding more squad fillers? Wenger said it himself - we need top quality signings that will actually improve the team. And we need them in the right positions and not a £35m CM for the sake of it.
Wenger is an expert at adding squad fillers, that's pretty much all he's done for the past couple of seasons and he's spent a fortune doing it.Quote:

We're not going to sign any of those players, Lacazette we get linked to every summer, it's boring! We will never pay £100+ million in a month of Sundays, we're cheap it's ridiculous to even claim we would.
We'll end up with the usual bargain basement rubbish we always do, we've already started by signing up a freebie, it's what we do best. People can say wait until the end of the transfer window etc etc, but by now we know how it works with this club, one disappointment after another.
After all the speculation about change the whole backroom staff are being offered new deals it seems, nothing is going to change and we'll fail again just as we have for over a decade now.
I just think there's just someone putting BS rumours out to try and keep the fans happy, none of these ever come to fruition, Wenger singed a new contract (it was obvious he was going to from the start), the rest of the team stay on with no change and noone to keep Wenger in check and the transfers will be the usually nonsense speculation ending up in middle of the road disappointing signings noone knows or cares about.
This club should be renamed Arsene Wenger.
Dortmund one!Quote:

Mostly desperate agents doing the linking, I think. You know us, we are hardly likely to be linked to anyone at all in reality.
The media are just bored.Quote:

I for one would be very happy with that. Athletico Madrid certainly know how to scout a good striker - so let's buy him.Quote:
