Hard to know what difference they imagine 5 or 10 mill quid makes in an inflated market like this. We just got 20 mill quid for a player with 4 months left on his contract. And we're pissing around lowballing on the player supposed to be replacing him? A player that could make a 30 million quid difference if he shoots us into the CL placings. Not to mention those 71 - 166 quid shirt sales that will bite a chunk out of any excess we have to pay.Quote:

No problem with restraint or reluctance when it comes to ticket prices, of course.
These days it's nothing, like you said look at what we got for Sanchez who was as good as worth nothing, we've already got more than this guys fee in transfer money alone yet we're hallging over a few million, pretty embarrassing really, if this was a one off then fine, trouble is this happens everytime and most of the time it ends in failure. If we signed Aubameyang and he won us a few matches and won us some points he'd pay back his fee alone, that's even ignoring the shirt sales and marketing money from this deal.Quote:

Just look at the revenue of the clubs that succeed and how it rises with their successes, not hard to see what winning means, more money in the bank, so it would be win win for all of them, there is of course a risk, but these guys are so attached to their money they don't want to risk any of it.
Honestly don't understand why this club is worth as much as it is, it's a club for losers and it's not great for brands to be associated with losers, they'll sell more if they are linked to success.
With the TV money now they're swimming in money. You'd think they wouldn't care about a few extra million and prefer to get it over the line, get him in the team and help us get 3 points in our next game.Quote:

The Sun seem to think that Giroud's wife is holding up the deal as they try to convince her to move to germany :coffee:

:lol:
Bild also reporting that we are planning to tie the deal up soon so that he can make his debut against Swansea on Tuesday.
Silly cow. It’s her husband who’s bringing in the millions, she shouldn’t even factor in the equation tbh.Quote:

She's not saying anything every other WAG doesn't. It's Giroud's job to find his testicles and get the hell on.
I don't expect Arsenal to begin with their top offer....but let's tie this up already.
I read somwhere that hes in thei squad this weekend as talks have stalled. They want 60m, which in today's market isnt a lot. He is a guaranteed goal scorer and wants to come, why dont we stop fucking about and pay the fucking money.
I think it's more that Dortmund are trying to use it as a ploy to hurry the deal up, i.e. 'we will play him this weekend if you don't get a bloody move on'
But, of course, you must remember, that you can't believe half the stuff that gets reported.
Giroud should bin her anyway. He can do much better. She's butterz.
Thats the problem with wives. If she were his girlfriend she would be prepared to follow him to Alaska or Timbuktu. Wives....:crying:
Doesn't work with Arsenal, they want Dortmund to give them a reason not to have to buy him, this will be music to Arsene Wengers' ears.Quote:

If he’s ruined our chances of getting Aubameyang...
It shouldn't matter really. Aubemeyang wants to go, Bif doesn't.
Now let's reduce the 2nd offer even further and move on with our lives. :ninja:
I think we’ve ruined any chance of a deal ourselves by spending the best part of this week lowballing and haggling for Auba.Quote:

Goes to show bringing in quality backroom staff means fuck all if Mr Control Freak can’t stop dithering and pretending he’s some kind of poker king.
Fergie once said something along the lines of, dealing with Wenger is like a game of chess. Well, I’m sure he was taking the piss, but Wenger believes the press. Somehow he thinks he’s being clever, but actually, he’s fucking it all up as usual.
Egomaniac.
Morata cost £70m, Lukaku cost £75m. Aubameyang, who is better than the two of them combined, wants to play for us and is available in the same price range.
Stop low balling and get your fucking cheque book out you idiots.
The positive is that if it is Wenger, it only strengthens Ivan's end of season case. Especially now we have top class specialists in the backroom who may be working with 1 hand tied.
Here we go, deal threatening to fall apart, we've seen this before with these clowns in charge.
Giroud is 30 isn't that good and frankly if he has to go the other way the fans would drive him there themselves, Wenger is so attached to some of these players, this guy has never been good enough and now we have the chance to get someone miles better and we won't let this guy go.Quote:
Talks between Arsenal and Dortmund for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have stalled after the Bundesliga giants were angered by the Gunners’ second bid for the Gabon international.
Dortmund are happy to let Aubameyang leave but they were angered by Arsenal’s second bid and feel they’re wasting their time if the Gunners are unwilling to make ‘realistic’ offers, according to Kicker.
As for the money should have bid what they wanted in the 1st place, seriously what is wrong with them, how often do they annoy other clubs, must be the most hated club in the world by other clubs.
So we could end up with losing Sanchez and get Mkhiti and probably some other mickey mouse signing if we're lucky, good work Arsenal :good:
Yes, that's the news I was expecting to see. Absolutely inevitable. Apparently our new team is there to dance depending on which string is pulled. Any normal club has met the asking price and completed the signing by now, subject to medicals etc, etc. We have yet to make several more underbids that inch us towards the cherished deadline. There will be an element of Dortmund playing silly buggers here too, of course. But Dortmund can't make us offer lowball bids.
Apparently we're fucking around in the same way on the Ozil offer. Alexis wasn't lesson enough I suppose.
What a fucking anchor the club has to drag around with this cock Wenger poking his nose into everything. What's it to do with him what the price is? Either he wants the player or he doesn't want the player. If he wants him then fuck off and let the people hired to do a job do their job. Then again, "What is a director of football?" Remember that one from our prehistoric genius? Tells us all we need to know about his ongoing desire to get involved in everything and fuck everything up.
He's such an unspeakable fucking cock. We beat the chavs last night. What do you do today? What's the OBVIOUS fucking thing you do today?
You announce the signing of Aubameyang. That's the fucking obvious thing you do. You make a fucking point of making that announcement today. So the momentum keeps on rolling.
But he fucking HATES momentum. He's only happy when he's finding ways to take a step back every time we stumble forward.
What an anchor. What a ball and chain. What an albatross.
Gordon Bennet! :doh:
Yep. Gordon was another one we nearly signed.Quote:

I love that we’ve got a delegation out there yet are still contriving to fuck it up.
A delegation that includes a previous recent member of their staff! :doh:
Classic Arsenal! We’ll come back with nothing and then Wenger will proudly proclaim that “we won’t pay a penny over our valuation of zee player, loooook we have to respect the financial principles of this club, loook we already have 4 world class strikers, we have Lacazette, Welbeck, Giroud, Akpom and don’t forget Iwobi & Ramsey can play there too, where do I put all these players?”Quote:

Perfectly happy? Having sold 3 players and brought in one, plus a kid who is now suddenly ready for the first team? "Perfect" must have a similar definition to "ideal" in Wengerese.Quote:
Wenger: “If something happens, it happens. If not I’m perfectly happy with the squad I have.”
Aubameyang isn’t coming, sooner we all realise that, the better we’ll all be. Arsenal pulling the wool over the fans eyes again. This all coming from the 6th richest club in world football, if Deloitte are to be believed.
All the lefty shitbags went with the usual. Nobody thought to ask the cunts what business of theirs it is, unless they happen to be paying to turn up at Utd. Then they'd have a case. Or if they are paying to watch football on Sky or BT, but you get the impression these cunts would be too busy watching child porn instead.Quote:

Think about that.
And people claim taxation is not a crime.
Of course the poor, retarded audience didn't think about it. Instead they clapped like performing seals and then bent over and spread themselves for another round a let's play government. Whatever unspeakable act I committed in a past life to be condemned to living among these fucks, I just don't know.

Wenger:
Quote:
Injury news from Arsene Wenger, who says Olivier Giroud, who has not played for the first team since 19 December, will be in the squad for Tuesday's visit to Swansea, but it is "too early" for Danny Welbeck to return.
Wenger adds that despite reports, Giroud was never part of any deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.
Asked about transfers he says: "It’s still possible, we are far from being closed. I don’t give you any special name but at the moment we are not close to signing anybody.
"If nobody comes in, nobody goes out, maybe one or two young players out on loan."
Makes me laugh, don't know why he bothers saying anything, we're never close to signing anyone, we spend entire transfer windows apparently actively searching for players and if we do sign anyone it's right at the every end, sounds to me like they're doing nothing most of the time.
Only reason we got Mhkiti is because he was essentially free and we ended up savng money because his wages are lower than Sanchez salary. Wenger has ruined this football club, so little about it to actually like these days, everything it does is painful to watch, it literally has no redeeming features, amazing to see how things have changed, there was a time I loved Arsenal and loved watching matches and looked forward to matches, nowadays I really couldn't care less about the matches, what gets me is that noone at the club actually cares about the fans.
I have to laugh when people say Wenger loves the club, he loves football, but after that he looks after number 1.
:pal:
We've definitely fucked the Auba deal. Another 'we tried' signing. Wankers.
I don’t care. The Club has one clear priority and that is getting Wenger the fuck out of here.
Unfortunately they don’t see it that way.
Consequently it doesn’t matter who we sign or who we lose.
