You know, if you take all the evidence of the boardroom blood baths and share prices and sellouts, isn't it more likely on the balance of evidence we do have access to that the board is fucking is over big time? Signing shits like Chamakh, (Ramsey shouldn't be in that list, so what if he had a bad season after a potentially crippling injury), Diaby, Park only adds to the idea the guy is not able to operate on the same level as your Mancinis or Mourinhos, right? The evidence just doesn't point in the direction you want it to.Quote:
And I don't wanna hear about Board, they fuqqing pay him well to manage the club and clearly there is money @ his disposal to buy @ least a few quality players, but he prefers to BS us about not seeing anyone good enough. This after he signed the likes of Chamakh, Ramsey, Diaby, Park and the rest of dead weight we have decked out in our kit.
Because you're a wannabee.Quote:

De Jong all the time
That's what I'm thinking tbh.
He has more experience and is pl proven.
Probably cheaper than mvila too.
Is he here?Quote:

Apparently talks broke down as they went past the deadline and Wenger refused to sign him on any other day other than FL day.
****
Dammit. Oh well on to this time next year (well save 24 hours), he'll be the same age as RVP is now I suppose.
Prepare to be disappointed.Quote:

Arsenal want to offer Salomon Kalou a chance to stay in the Premier League by pinching the striker, who has been released by Chelsea, from under the noses of Schalke.
Full story: Caught Offside
Martin is in the French squad this summer. No African in him i think so cant see this happening
Kalou on a free? Wouldnt be so bad
Someone else to watch at the Euros I suppose. I always find the word 'monitoring' amusing when it comes to transfer rumours.
Marvin Martin should be signed for his name alone.
Kalou on a free wouldn't be bad although maybe I am saying that because there is an air of inevitability about it.
Prepare to be amazed.Quote:

LAZIO defender Stefan Radu could be on his way to the Premier League.
The Romanian ace, 25, has been strongly linked with Arsenal and both Manchester clubs.
His agent Viktor Becali said: “We are working with someone in England.
“There are three clubs that are very interested in Stefan.
“If we were to receive a good offer and Lazio were to accept, then he could leave.
“Otherwise, he is happy to remain in Rome. He is under contract until 2016.”
Radu joined Lazio from Dinamo Bucharest in 2008 and made 21 Serie A appearances last season.

That doesn't really address the issue. What if these rules aren't enforced and what happens if Wenger doesn't sign a new contract next year? Wenger won't be around forever and it's something we're going to have to deal with. I'm not accusing you of being a 'glory hunting twat' either. I'm just questioning where you guys (Letters and NQ) are going with this argument regarding Board ownership, money and transfers. If we're saying money is ruining the game and what Chelsea and City are doing is wrong, then why are you looking towards their model as the solution? I know you're not arguing for a takeover specifically, but we're still talking about spending our way out of this mess which is part of the problem with football these days. The solution is always seems to be in the transfer market these days. Don't get me wrong, we need some new players to come in because our squad is shocking, but even with a few more key players, I can't see any major improvements while Wenger is still in charge. His flaws run too deep and signings won't fix that. That's why I say he should leave.Quote:

I agree -good post. Remember, Wenger has bought expensive, high-profile players but they have ended up being shit. Arshavin is one example. Reyes also to a certain extent although he was better than Arshavin. Remember he was brilliant for one season but then totally lost his form. Thats down to the manager and coincided with our losing our unbeaten run at Man Utd and then struggling to win our next few games. Walcott was hailed as the next Rooney - now look at him. Inconsistent and average. Wenger wants to buy much cheaper players so that he can hopefully pull a rabbit out of the hat like he did with Henry,Vieira and Anelka. But it hasnt happened for years. He's the problem - not the money.

I think there was some truth in Mvila being 99% done.
However, when he saw how much Hazard went for and what wage deal he got, he decided to wait until after the euros to see if he could get something similar, same with Giroud.
Its completely plausible.
More importantly,
Why the fuck havent we signed Dempsey yet?
We're in the waiting period but also little bit wanting period.Quote:

Otherwise you might as well ask for the sky to be green or the sea to be red because fundamentally , that's the difference between us and the rich clubs..Quote:

Also, we don't know what's being said behind closed doors. Owners usually always back the manager in the public. They might not sack but they don't have to offer him a great new deal to stay on. But we'll soon find out.
As said before, I don't accept the need for a change in ownership because that sort of change is way more riskier than bringing in a new manager. This is why I question where you guys are going with this logic, I'm not the thick one here. On the one hand you criticise clubs like Man City and Chelsea for the money they spend and dodgy owners they have, yet you say we need new owners to see a change. Don't you see the problem with that?
