Textbook.

We've tracked him patiently. Gone through the wanting period. Endured the waiting period. Executed the wanking period superbly by striking with a brilliantly insulting offer. And finally, finally we've landed our nobody. Add him to the list of prospects who will never play for the club, never be heard of again.

Ladies, gents, this is how it's done!

Now just one more panic buy that makes zero sense, right at the close of the window, and it's been another brilliant summer. We've picked up potentially the most boring player in world football, a little Japanese kid who makes cutesy hand gestures and some other guy. It's on!

This would be a joke of a signing, just like Jenkinson was, we're so friggin cheap it's unreal.

How anyone can't be totally and utterly sick of Wenger I don't know, the guy is an total and utter clown.

I am firmly in this camp now as well. No point in getting angry about a situation that wont change anytime soon. I've cancelled my red membership but thats not going to change much.

I hope they do. It obviously got toxic towards the end of last season when we collapsed as per norm in the title race, a poor or indifferent start and the knives will be out again.

As others have eluded too, it comes as no real surprise that we are where we are in this window, it's just disappointing more than anything else.

Toxic but as always Wenger gets away with it, a fair few fans decided to stand by the guy despite it clear he can't cut it. We all knew what was going to happen let's face it, so it doesn't come as a surprise, or it shouldn't at least. Somehow you hope it might be different even if you don't really believe it will be.

IMO Wenger is ruining this once great club and undoing all the work he did in the the early days, it's starting to become hard to remember what it was like when we were really good as it has been such a long time now.

Olympics should help to forget about it for a while. By the time they are finished the same old shit pattern will be unfolding at the Emirates and by comparison it won't even register. I think a lot of fans are waiting Wenger out, myself included. This season is already written off. And if he drags it out until May and delivers his stock mediocrity and calls it a day then fair enough, we'll be back in business come June 2017. But it will be a very different story if a contract offer comes in between now and then. The fans will have to act and act forcefully if they club threatens them with 3 more years of Wenger. I hope he does the smart thing. He'll probably even get a favourable send-off if he plays it fair.

It wouldn't surprise me if the rumours of a new deal are true though. It would be totally ridiculous, but also very Arsenal like. I just hope that Arsene realises it's time to go.

I know every year some fans predict us falling out of the top 4 and get mocked for it. This season for me personally does feel different though. Perhaps it's the lack of enthusiasm, but I think the level of complacency from the club is unprecedented. Unless we're surprised with 2-3 top 1st team signings I can't see anything other than a battle for 4th / 5th with the Spuds and Liverpool.

We've sold Wellington Silva. :lol: Made zero appearances for us. Wenger's youth development. :lol:

To be fair on Wenger, I didn't expect Alexi Sanchez deal to pop up, nor Ozil. 2 wonderful signings in the last 2-3 years. Cech also, brilliant.
We've been linked with Xhaka before and he looks like he will really be a Matic type player for us.
Shame we missed out on Mhyktarian but if we can land Mahrez, then it's pretty like for like.
I would love a bullish defender like Koulibaly - he looks like he could command the area well.
I would love us to test Dortmunds resolve with a massive bid for Aubameyang and I'm a fan of Morata if Real let him go.
otherwise...we signed the Leicester statistician so hopefully he's got a few good ideas ;)

3.5 million we wasted on this chump, we could have used that to put towards someone top quality. Only we could got out and pay 3.5 million for some 16 year old dud from Brazil, the amount of money we've wasted on kids must be huge.
