Take all 4
Warchest. :bow:
I think we should wait another five years on Alonso, he's not clapped out yet. And this will kill Barry.Quote:

In many ways the Barry signing would be perfect:
1) Cheap
2) Has been nobody else wants
3) Can play in different positions (defence and midfield), thus saving us more money on signings for other positions in future
4) Won't hinder progress of any kids
5) Would be a way of p*ssing off the fans and sticking two fingers up at them
And Cripps fancies him.Quote:

If they blow the whole budget on Suarez they need shooting. One striker who's likely to be suspended half the season will be like going back to the bad old days of RvP. Great when he's available, stuck with Giroud when he's not. In fact even if they have £70mill to spend it's a drop in the bucket in terms of the overhaul this team needs.
Luckily then they aren't getting Suarez. Unluckily (for us) they may be getting nobody at all. So I suppose nothing can happen anyway until this Asian tour is over, unless Wenger isn't going to be involved.
I don't really see the point in going after Suarez, no way will he join us. It's just a waste of time.
Surely the board wont turn round and say, after a summer of signing nobody of note, "We tried to sign Higuain, Suarez, Rooney etc, you can't blame us for not trying". Surely they don't think the fans are that stupid to buy the bullshit??
It's a non-story. We're obviously not going to pay what Liverpool will want so there's no point even considering it. The papers are as bad as ever this summer. With social media (blogs, twitter etc.) getting so many hits, it's impacting the press - their usual bending-the-truth ways are not as interesting to the ****s that buy them, because they're more interested in fantasy stories. So in order to compete, the press have also increased their bullshit/truth ratio. As Maccy said, we'll probably be linked to a Madrid CM tomorrow just because they've bought that Sociedad kid.
Everything he said here.Quote:

Spend some money Wenger for fuck sake.
He is FFS, Asian holiday and a savoury ice lolly for all the players!Quote:

I remember the days when players were brought before we went on tours so they could feel part of the team.
Anyone we get now is already behind the rest.
worst transfer window since all the others

If needed, we want to be the best, but the best is not only about buying players.
We need to continue with what has made our strengths until now.

I have big respect for the passion about the game in England, but football is more than just splashing out.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Asia, an Asian photographer captures a priceless shot of jubilant placard bearing fans, as they line the streets for the Virtual Trophy Parade hoping to catch a glimpse of football's most coveted, prized and prestigious trophy.

It's different this time, everything has changed, Wenger's hands are no longer in shackles and he can finally spend after being made the fall guy for so long.Quote:

Guess he's not coming then. :rose:
It's dragged on forever...
Roma have supposedly offered €3m for Gervinho according to Sky Italia.
:haha: Just take it !
Wenger... £12m ... :rose:
Higgy. :rose:
Moving on with more of the "...and shit" part of the thread title then:
http://gossip.ladyarse.com/arsenal/2...-want-bernard/Quote:
Brazilian reports claim Arsenal want Bernard
The fee being reported would be in the region of €25m and the club have said they would sell the player if a bid came in for that amount.Quote:

Hmm his dad/agents were all saying that a deal was set and in place ?Quote:

I can see him going to City/Chelsea now if Im honest.
Me neither :shrug:Quote:

Clubs beginning to see our players for what they are really worth rather than the overinflated prices we use to see banded about, they've finally cottoned on the the fact these players achieve nothing with us and generally don't do much once they leave.Quote:

No, see, when we make a bid, it's media BS.Quote:
