Wenger. :haha:
If he hadn't been born we could have won nothing in 20 years.
Indeed but considering i've never said i want Ramsey deadQuote:

I think Ramsey dying might bring about the apocalypse.
Some kind of extinction-level event anyway...
Bring it on, because when that happens Jebus is coming down to lift me up personally and save me. So I don't care if all you bitches burn in Ramsey's fire.
We should sign Griezmann and Lewa and Higuain and Messi and Drinkwater.
We all mentioned Griezmann back here on the 2013 thread
:ilt:
I remember. He'd have been played on the wing anyway.
im not necessarily disagreeing with you but my post was about some people on this forum being excited about Lacazette.Quote:

Icardi being touted again - latest fictional theory is that he might be looking for a move if Inter miss out on the CL?
I have no faith in us signing any kind of striker any more, but at least this one sounds a little more plausible than talk of Lewandowski or Aubameyang or an aging Ibrahimovich on a million pounds a minute contract, etc...
I think a lot of us are desperate for anyone but Giroud, yeah Giroud is OK but he's not starting quality material, well not if we want to improve.Quote:

yeah, he hasnt been as potent this year without Fekir.Quote:

They could entertain, perhaps even encourage interest in players before it has run down...... I'm won't comment on the ethics but I suspect they could have attracted a buyer for Robert Lewandowski a year or two before he went.Quote:

May 2016Quote:
Sept 2013
Arsène Wenger has given Arsenal's supporters the statement signing they have craved with the €50m (£42.5m) purchase of the attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid, a move that has nearly trebled the club's previous highest outlay on a player. The manager had expressed the confidence that Arsenal's increased financial firepower would permit him to complete a deal for one of the biggest names on the market. At 10.30pm on Monday he could celebrate a coup.
Ozil becomes the third most expensive signing in British football history, behind Fernando Torres, who joined Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in 2011, and Carlos Tevez, who cost Manchester City £45m. The 24-year-old has agreed a five-year contract, which is worth a basic £150,000 a week, with bonuses on top, having completed a medical earlier in the day in Germany, where he was preparing with his national team for the World Cup qualifier against Austria on Friday.
There was jubilation from Wenger and the Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis, with the latter describing Ozil as a "world-class player, who is one of Europe's brightest young talents". Gazidis also paid tribute to the support of the club's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke who, he said, "wants to see Arsenal winning titles and trophies and has absolute faith and belief in our manager to achieve that".
Mesut Ozil is declared unfit 45 minutes before kick off. And yet he hasn't travelled with the team. Work that one out. Since 2013 absolutely fuck all has changed at Arsenal and Kroenke's real agenda has become known. Meanwhile Wenger stands on a touchline, jubilantly celebrating his latest also-ran triumph.
So which world class players are we signing in the summer lads? I bet they all want to come here.
Goodbye Mesut.
He's gone, Mesut has been making noises in the press for a while now, planting the seeds to his exit, we're going to have a job on our hands convincing him to stay, same with Alexis, I read he went straight for the tunnel whilst the rest of the team clapped the away support. It was obvious it would come to this.Quote:

He'd love to play for Zidane according to him and has said you don't know what the future holds (not in those exact words but as good as), add in yesterday's weird events and it doesn't look great. Wouldn't be entirely surprised though, what top player would really want to stick around at such an unambitious club?

Losing one or both of Ozil and Sanchez would be a disaster for the club, both on the pitch and PR wise. No way the club can put a positive spin on that!
Yeah I don't think Mesut did, the tunnel thing was Alexis.Quote:

The German publication claim the move will cost Arsenal between £23m and £31m.
I would not blame Ozil or Alexis for wanting to leave, these guys arent stupid. They know, having been here for the last few years, that winning the big trophies is beyond the club and there somes a time when money isnt all that matters for them.Quote:

Even when we get rid of Flamini, Rosicky and Arteta we will be stuck with too many central midfielders
Cazorla, Elneny, Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil, Coquelin and then Xhaka
Means very troublingly that Wenger has cast iron excuse not to replace Ozil when he is sold
When you refuse to get with the program, you inevitably get sold.Quote:

Jack - AaronQuote:

Me neither, I've no idea what Wenger promised either of them when they signed because it sounds to me like he sold a dream to Mesut, given what Mesut said after he signed for us.Quote:

Wenger's got Ramsey and Wilshere the wrong way round in his thinking in my opinion? He keeps playing Wilshere further forward and Ramsey deep, but I've always thought that Wilshere is far more effective when he plays deep, and has the game in front of him, and I think Ramsey's natural, cavalier style is far better suited to one of the more advanced roles? I'd even consider using Ramsey as an alternative to Özil behind the CF, when we need an additional runner / goal-scorer more than a creative passer (or, to put it another way, any game where we have Giroud as CF)...
Doesn't matter where you play Wilshere, he'll never stay fit, then there's his off the field discipline as well, hope we get rid he's another Walcott.
Theo Walcott on verge of agreeing deal to sign for West Ham
From the Sun so I cba giving them a click on their shit site. No quotes or anything, but hopefully he's off.
Thanks for the 12/13 season and nothing else, time to say goodbye.
Really hope this is true, we need to start moving these non performers on, it seems Wenger won't unless the player insists he doesn't want to stay.Quote:

It's only £140,000 a week isn't it? Who's going to baulk at that, for a player like Walcott? They'll be queuing up.Quote:
