LOL!!!

Season kicks off today and we still haven't finalised the Mbappe and Lemar deals.

What's the hold up FFS?

We're in the waiting to get thumped before we sign anyone period.

Now we're after Lucas Moura of PSG, apparently. Story goes we can nip in and get him now that Neymar has pitched up.

A quick, nimble, lightweight, wide attacking midfielder. A first for us. We don't have any of those. It also demonstrates the structural integrity of our transfer policy. We start out going for a quick, nimble, robust attacking midfielder who can play all across the middle, we pursue him for weeks - never quite coming up with a bid to tempt, when the price gets into the real world (and unreal as that happens to be) we bug out and now we conjure this guy up. Another replacement for Theo Walcott, who we aren't replacing by the look of it. Roll on the underbids and the waste of time.

We have also been thinking about bidding for some other midfielder. Who knows, maybe we'll get around to that some time?

Decisive and determined we might not be, but what we lack in the ability to get things done we more than make up for in the ability to make fans fume, cry and despair, all at the same time.

Fucking incompetent and overpaid turds working for this club.

Elneny confirms he's staying. Which is good. Because he's our best central midfielder. Which also means he'll probably spend most of the season on the bench.

Alexis resigned to staying for another season.

So then, the task is simple to define (if not so simple to achieve).

1. Sign Lemar - reason, show ambition.
2. Qualify for the CL - reason, Alexis' stated main concern.
3. Win the title - reason, why would Alexis leave the champions?

And the man we have to deliver these requirements is:

Arsene Wenger :doh:

Moura is an excellent player, chances of getting him with our transfer team is about 0.00000000000000000001% however, lowball bids don't work, doesn't matter how many times you make them.

It's a good bit of business. He can replace Özil.

Linked to Dick van Dyke from Southampton after he handed in a transfer request.

Never going to happen.

Lots of rumours about Coutinho to Barca I see.
