Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

To most people it's clear Sanchez and Ozil are leaving, even if by some miracle they aren't our position in the league should suggest to anyone sane we need quality signings badly.

Trouble is with this guy, even if the obvious is right in front of him he doesn't see it, we'll most likely lose those two and then eventually replace them with players he deems as super super quality, which for everyone else is average.

Worst manager in football, literally sucks all the joy out of being a football fan, doesn't even entertain the possibility of giving the fans something to be cheerful about, instead he puts out stuff about him watching other people leaving the game and then coming back and how he's likely to extend his stay for many more years to come.

Worst part about this is fans that go will probably just accept this and support him because they have no choice as he's staying anyway. Hope is something reserved for fans of other football clubs.

AFTV claiming Perez may be coming back as cover for Giroud and Alexis (should he leave). If that happened we'd end up with a player who doesn't want to be here playing for a manager that doesn't want him. That would be "ideal" too I suppose.

Derimbay from Hoffenheim has been linked, German international midfielder. An up and coming type also linked with Everton.

Leon Bailey, from Leverkusen, is another target apparently. Winger. Chavs looking at him too. Fast apparently. Whether he can turn corners as well as run fast in straight lines, who knows?

And yet another midfielder, Rafinha from Barca. Back from long term injury. Might be a good prospect for our treatment room.

Mahrez, as usual.

And those pesky rumours about Zaha won't go away. Supposedly a replacement for Alexis :haha:

Got to say that IMO other than Mahrez I'm not interested in us signing any of those guys, we need a higher level of player, all these guys sound like your typical Wenger signing.

Perez and unwanted guy who suddenly comes back because he'll cost nothing even though he wasn't really wanted.

That Bailey guy is an unknown, Rafinha has been injured and I'm not convinced he's even that good and Zaha well the less said the better.

Mahrez has proven himself, can score and create so would be a welcome addition.

Mahrez is a pointless addition. When you see two top players walk out for free and then bring one player in, what's the point? You've paid to go backwards. It's such a joke. Wenger has spent his whole time here trying to avoid spending money. Avoiding the spending that would have taken us forwards. Now he's actually paying to go backwards. It's hard to conceive a bigger fuck-up.

I'm tending towards agreeing with the other posters here who want to see the chequebook taken away from him so he can't do any more damage. Let him see out his ego trip but do it with the players he already has. No matter who we sign he'd only be aiming for the coveted and ultra prestigious Top 4 Trophy anyway, and he's not even able to make a good job of that any more. So take the 5th/ 6th or 7th also-also ran prize and wait it out. 18 months, 3 years, 5 years. He has to go eventually.

I agree with all of that, but the chequebook won't be taken away from him, he'll continue to bring these average players in that he likes so much.

He's off and taking the pitch with him.

Understand #afc interest in 20-year-old centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos originally reported in Greece is genuine. Negotiations ongoing but fee likely to be in region of £2.2m. Not an immediate first-team addition. Loan to Werder Bremen more likely. https://t.co/QYplPs5SCp

Just why?

Why does he do this?

Some will say he should do it. That spotting and nurturing potential is a good thing. But this is Wenger we are talking about, the guy who made Theo Walcott what he is today. Why won't somebody take away his phone and his pen FFS?

Dont fret, this kid will be loaned all over Europe and then sold for next to nothing in a couple of years time.

Wenger won’t resolve the immediate needs of the team when he can get away with just buying potential or junk as Id like to call it.

This deal represents everything that is wrong with Arsene and Arsenal, it’s bonkers.
