So we were lied to about Alexis not being for sale, only our own incompetence meaning he is still an Arsenal player this morning.
You know its bad when the Tuesday Club release an emergency podcast!

I love the Tuesday Club! Miss that podcast. Trend setters.
Always my favourite as well
This once great club is in terminal decline thanks to Wenger, Kroenke and the rest of the board. I am clutching at straws here but did not Liverpool some years back invoke some legislation to force their then American owners to sell? Something about running a company in a reckless and incompetent way?
Actually this transfer window went a lot better than I expected
It was absolutely atrociously horrendous
But I expected so much more...Mustafi and Sanchez sold without replacements
Not that we needed confirmation, but I think this window has proven the club is not interested in competing for the top honours. Priorities are completely different compared to other top clubs who put on the pitch matters first. Makes me laugh thinking back all those years when people thought Wenger was being thrown under a bus, when in reality he was in bed with the board the whole time. They're made for each other.
So let's see
We signed Kolasinac (can't really count him though as we signed him in Jan) and Lacazette (a guy we were very lucky to have, if Athletico's transfer ban hadn't stood he wouldn't be here).
We sold Gabriel, Chesney, Ox (got to say this was a shocker because he playeed every game, not sure why anyone sane would do this, and was probably in our top 3 players last season) Gibbs (we received a bid of 10 million earlier on in the season and turned that down and then accepted 7 million), Perez (we didn't manage to sell him as we wanted), Campbell (again couldn't sell him).
We're left with a positive transfer balance of 29 million I believe.
Then we had Mustafi and Sanchez who both wanted to leave, we couldn't agree a fee for Mustafi, with Sanchez we did agree a fee but couldn't sign a replacement as we left everything so late.
We were lied to about Ox not leaving and Sanchez not leaving as we accepted an offer and the only reason he didn't go is because we had no replacememt available.
Next summer we lose Alexis and mostly Ozil for nothing.
Then we hear we have no money for major signings, despite selling.
All in all an absolute disaster, left with a weaker squad/team, didn't fix problem areas, have a couple disgruntled players and maybe more if Sanchez is unpopular as we have heard, after what happened last season it's quite frankly unbelievable to be honest. Surely someone has to be held accountable, this guy has it right, this is the only way, how long can this go on for, how much longer can fans continue to be mugged on season after season, everytime fans complain they literally stick two fingers up laugh and seem to say we're not doing anything you want and don't care about any of your concerns.....oh and look we have your money and are making a profit so moan away!

This club is being destroyed right now, this is Wengers legacy it seems.
Fans are being totally mugged off to be honest, paying sky high prices, for rubbish football, rubbish results, not competing, no real transfer dealings and the same mistakes and things happening every season.Quote:

This isn't a football club anymore, it's a business the worst kind of business. Strictly speaking a business that doesn't care about it's customers usually doesn't do very well, this one does and flaunts it in it's customers faces.
I'm not sure there's any kind of thought in what the club do on a football level, it's all totally ad hocQuote:

What we are seeing right before our eyes is our beloved club being destroyed, the reputation being tarnished and damaged beyond belief. We are a rudderless ship. We lack ambition, determination, direction, organisation and above all that we lack pride.
This summer has confirmed to me that we lack any kind of plan, not only can we not strengthen the squad by bringing in new additions we can't even get rid of those we don't want or those who don't want to be here.
I just don't understand why it has come to this? I understand there are some deep rooted issues with the leadership of this club but why isn't just one person with a bit of authority trying to make things happen? Honestly what is going on? Why are we so unprofessional and small time, I'm not just talking about the technical side, what has happpened with the commercial side of the club?
We are a complete mess.
