As good as Cesc and Nasri? Two players we had and we still couldn't win a trophy and ended up 4th......

You have to be bloody patient...
He's different kind of player to Cesc, similar to Nasri and more consistent than Nasri has been for us. Injury is the big problem and the 6 months off could have converted him into a Rosicky. Everyone expecting a like for like replacement for Nasri & Cesc are going to be disappointed. I'am expecting the Arteta, Yossi kind of signing, i hope we sign someone who is not injury prone
sounds harsh but i hope wenger has a stroke or dies this evening, he's doing too much damage.
That's pretty much it. We can do some tidy work replacing the shiftless dross like Denilson, Bendtner, Diaby and similar with players such as Park, Benayoun, Arteta. It's much harder to get top quality players - your M'Vila's and Hazard's - with such a constricted time frame. OUr own fault of course but we'd be mad to eschew building up a decent squad in preparation for getting top quality players again. I don't think the one impacts the other, or shouldn't anyway.

I wonder if theres a way of tipping off a AW. Maybe if I said FAO Wenger: Cheap unknown African he'd pick it up.
And so the nightmare continues.
yossi beny-fucking-youn.

I'm taking it with more than a pinch of salt.

Rumours on twitter say rosicky is off back to dortmond too.
The problem we face is that we've left it so late that the only options available to us in the market are players that are surplus to requirements.
The likes of Alex & Yossi are upgrades on what we've got but we should really be aiming higher. Alex I would say is better than everybody bar Vermaelen, but guess what, Alex is a crock...no surprise there.
Yossi is a very tidy player too, I'd have him ahead of everyone in our Midfield apart from Jack & Song, but you guessed it Yossi is a crock too.
If Arsene is really serious about getting us out of this mess he would be breaking our transfer record bringing REAL quality to the squad over the next few days, sadly I don't think this is going to happen.
Anyone would be better than Arshavin so Benayoun would be welcome. That said, it would be a fucking joke which shows the supreme incompetence of our manager. he wants to put out fire with a bucket.

Maybe were dodging a bullet...
This is so depressing.
Can't blame him

:pray:
Everton will want nothing less than £20mill for him though.
20m is rip-off. He is worth no more than 10. Anyway, I'd get him.
COuld have had Enrique for £6m...lol...you have to laugh at these stupid fucking cunts.
2 days to go and it is clear as day how fucking desperate we are and how much money we have so we will get ripped off but what else can we do.
Gladis should be fucking sacked stupid motherfucking yankee cunt
I wouldn't want to leave either...

Everyone will be out to bleed us dry so I doubt we'll be signing anyone beyond this Chu-Young bloke. Wenger and the board might even realise the need to strengthen (stranger things have happened in this world) but I doubt their financial responsibility (to their own wallets first and foremost) will be allowed to slip. Hearing silly amounts being thrown around for a solid (if not spectacular) defender like Baines will be par for the course. Obviously they don't expect to get such ridiculous amounts but they won't be putting up with any of our penny pinching either. After all clubs like Everton will also have to find replacements and will also be subject to this late window inflation. We've fucked it up as badly as anything can be fucked up and I think it has all been done on purpose. I don't think there was ever any intention of parting with the Fabregas and Nasri cash. hence the stupid bid for Jagielka, the stupid bid for Cahill and I'm betting a few stupid bids to come in the next couple of days. Maybe we'll pick up a few cheap and cheerful (until they start playing for us) bodies like the Korean guy we've just landed and that Yossi Whatshismafuck bloke, but that's likely to be it. If we had seriously been in for Hazard then we wouldn't have gone to such lengths to fuck off his current club, would we? Even now Wenger is talking about the transfer window if it is some unique British curse to be endured rather than exploited. The board and the manager will be able to relax soon, just two more days before they can sigh with relief as they stash away their latest spoils from pillaging the team. Cunts.
i just wonder...do they never read messageboards and forums?
Forlan bought by Inter Milan....could have done with him...£5m apparently
The way I see it we need a CB, LB, ACM, CF.....a DCM would be nice too but not essential. Will we get all these in 3 days...no way
OK now I'm pissed off and I think I have been the biggest arse on GW, although not saying Wenger is right I have refused to call for his head......
but something jsut dawned on me.......waiting period/poker game/wait and see what the other clubs will do..........
when are we going to have it explained to us what exactly was meant by all that........he felt good enough to tell us all that crap....surely he must now think it only right to explain himself to us......
to be honest new signings before Wednesday would be welcome cos they are bloody needed but like I have mentioned for me they will always be too late, 8 fucking 2 and I dont care who it was against.......Szmalsfjls didnt stand a chance with a lot of the goals, that was because they were well struck but because our keystone kop defence let them by standing around, fucking Djorou thought he had it sussed by kepping his fucking arms behind his back every time one of their players came close
and where is our player who cuts inside, looks up and then unleashes a strike on goal......nowhere.....cos they are too busy trying to hop skip and jump their way to the goal......where are our muscle players......Citeh are built like giants fed on raw blood we are a bunch of kids fed on hugs and kisses.
you know.........if I am to call for a new manager, then I will go as far as to say.......forego this season keep the fucking money and give it to the new guy......but with our board it wont work like that......as always the figure will shrink in size as time goes on and when we thought we had 60 odd million in a years time we will be lucky to have 10..........so Wenger you get it and you got 2 days to spend it.........fucking do it because believe me you are living on borrowed time.......cos I am pissed off
We aren't going to get the current abomination fixed in this window. No chance. We can maybe get a couple of pieces to the puzzle though and maybe manage a few more in January. We need to re-establish ourselves as a team who can compete at the highest level and it's not going to be a quick fix.
Before this window closes:
Park Chu-Young
+ 1 - 3 more decent squad players at least
Before the January Transfer Window:
Bring in the best younger players and give them a chance (cuz there's no one else left anyway). If we can get 3-5 players coming up from our ranks, players who can do a job, than we have a slightly deeper squad. Players like Frimpong, Miyachi, Ignasi, Afobe, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Coquelin. They'll need time and games to become useful players. Some may not make the grade but we have time to find out.
January Transfer Window:
Ideally 2-3 more players in areas of need and where young players haven't developed. We need to target players of exceptional ability here who may come available. Get rid of shite like Diaby and Chamakh and Squillaci.
Summer Transfer Window:
Get the last couple of pieces required - players like M'Vila or Hazard. Get rid of the remaining shite - Denilson, Vela, etc.
