Summer Transfer Misery 2017/18

tbf to the club RE the Debauchy situation, it was the right move at the time. Experienced RB to replace the departing Sagna ..... no one knew that Bellerin would emerge from nowhere and that Debauchy's form would suffer as a consequence of that.

By all accounts we have tried to flog him and made it abundantly clear that he's got no place in the squad ..... don't really blame the club for that one.

I know Wenger's moronically started him in the past three games but surely Ox himself knows he can't remain at the club having essentially burnt all his bridges with his Pool performance and by publicly angling for a move. :blink:

Granted ordinarily I don't think that Wenger would have the cajones to do it, but given the few tidbits we know about the club meeting on Monday where he concluded to get rid of any player that didn't want to be here, you'd think Wenger would isolate Ox from the squad and force him to play with the youth team if he dared to stick around after all this has been concluded.

Petit thinks we should sign Mahrez to replace the wingers that run in a straight line

Do you really think it was a crisis meeting that changed Wenger's mind? Or do you think that the most notorious cash sucking club on the planet never had any intention of losing big next year when our squad jumps overboard? This is all Arsenal FC spin facilitated by pathetic worms like John Cross. Nobody at Arsenal FC has the guts, or the decency, to make a public announcement. Instead these rumours of closed door meetings have surfaced in the most convenient manner.

The 70 mill deal for Alexis has been set up for weeks. Everyone knew that figure and, as if by magic, we are approaching the figure. Ox said he wanted to go months ago. Arsenal Representatives already had a quiet chat with Barca to shift Ozil.

You look at the profit that's going to be taken in this window. Almost reminds me of a sellout before a bust. But there's no bust at this particular club. We have declined steadily as a football team for 10 years and during the same period our cash balance at the bank has risen 500%, all so we could get super cheap terms from the banks and boost the balance sheet which in turn has boosted the share value. That's what it's all about at this place. It's only the fans and a decreasing number of the players who believe this is about football and success on the pitch.

These players were always leaving and, because they are our prize assets, I wouldn't think it strange or far fetched if stories emerged we'd deliberately run down their contracts. That certainly seems to be the case with Ox, at least. This unprecedented bout of insanity might only appear insane to those who don't have all the facts. And that would be us, the fans.

Petit's a loser who won titles and world cups. He hasn't even made 50,000 substitutions or lied to fans for a decade about stadium moves and phantom transfers. Why would anyone take him seriously?

Jean-Michael Seri wants to join a ‘big European club’ like Arsenal or Liverpool after his dream move to Barcelona collapsed.

Seri, who has a £36million release clause, remains hopeful of securing a summer move and name dropped two English clubs when asked about his future.


‘I want to be optimistic and think that there are still options,’ Seri told Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.


‘Let the two clubs talk quietly again and come to an agreement. We are not talking about any club, where you are going to sign for money.


‘I want to sign for a big European clubs, like Juventus, PSG, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool.


‘For example, Roma, has made several offers. I have spoken many times with Monchi and this transfer has not occurred either because of economic reasons.’

Doesn't sound like this deal would be in any way possible. Player is for sale. He wants to come here. We have the money. Verging on impossible. Plus he's a disciplined and experienced central midfielder and we desperately need to fill that position base on recent showings. So we don't really need him.

Fuck, fuck, fuck! How can we avoid signing this guy? Somebody come up with something fast FFS! We're not going to let this slip with just a few hours to go before the window shuts.

Meanwhile Alexis' representatives are in talks with Man Utd. God, it's depressing. Very, very depressing.

Don't fall for the all too convenient smear campaign. A month ago we were in the ideal situation and trendsetters! Other clubs will follow us into the sunlight and low players to run down their contracts! ;)

Yes, I know, as well you know. But why do we have to go first? And what if the other lot cheat and start signing their players up?

Sagna's available on a free.

Honestly wouldn't be opposed to getting him in as cover at RB/RWB assuming Ox is gone.
