Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

however, wenger will know we need a striker, he will also know we need to make a statement signing. well actually any signing almost right now. but the dithering? i dont think its just him, i think the board are dithering themselves too. i find it very convenient the days before the emirates is full again that stoires are being leaked taht gazidis wants to spend. gets blame off them when i think they are ditthering just like wenger

it was a football decision ollie but it was another fuck up in a long list of fuck ups. you had a world class striker with a world class record who was willing to join us. so what his price went up to £30m after we agreed terms? if you want top players you need to pay top money. and id argue £30m for him isnt even extortionate, its market rate.

its not like we've splashed out over the past few years to be saying 'well higuain costs too much as we spent a lot last summer, so we cant afford him'. its been the complete opposite.

the footballing decisions at this club have been borderline mad. from tactics, to transfers, to wages. madness.

Awful phone spelling, btw. Also little bit wine and beer.

a) They didn't do their homework on the contract or
2) They never wanted the bid to be accepted in the first place because it was designed for show

Option 1 means they are both completely incompetent, or at the very least Wenger trusts an incompetent,
Option B means they have done it again and suckered the fans - all that shit didn't hurt the new kit sales I'll bet.

that was kind of the point i was making, they are both in this together. its not wenger and poor gazidis cant do anything, its both of them. and gazidis is going along with it, instead of standing up to wenger like he should if he wants to spend money.

not aruging with that, i think not getting higuain is shocking. no baggage, world class etc etc.


we've heard gazidis say he wants big name players, world class players and we can afford them. he hsould know his football, he should know that suarez, higuain and rooney were the only realistic world class players we could sign this summer. its now only suarez. he should be telling wenger that we need him, no dithering I'm going to bid and get him whatever he takes. but because he doesnt do this, he goes along with wenger, by choice imo, hes as guitly as not doing as wenger is yet tries to make it out like he is trying and wenger isn't

That's what these fuckers play on. Emotional ties, built on years of good times
and bad times and uniting together as fans to get behind the one thing we all have in common.

And that's why we're being ripped apart in-house.

How can I want Wenger out before all these "sorts"?

Fuck, it's all gone potty, but my affection for Arsenal and it's history will forever lean me to support The Arsenal, however much it's class has been stripped away.

That turmoil is why it hurts and frustrates so much.

I don't care if we spend 10mil or 50mil, as long as I believe we are trying to move forward, trying on the pitch and being togther as a board, support, and team.

Add to it all we have two fucking billionaires who haven't put a penny into the club. Every inch has been ground out through gate receipts, TV revenue, merchandise and the sale of players the fans also paid for with more receipts, TV revenues, merchandise. These fuckers haven't given a thing back. Not one tiny concession.
