Think it will happen.
No.
It's a worry we're not being linked with anybody else. Central midfield needs addressing.
I'm sure we could get him for £50m but whether he's any good is another matter.
Lemar is the last one standing and Monaco have to completely rebuild their team regardless, so they might just think fuck it and sell him.
Didn't you see Ramsey constantly abandoning his post in midfield against the chavs? Him, alongside the willing but limited Coquelin or the half asleep Xhaka is what we'll go with. It didn't work last season so it's bound to work this one.Quote:

It just means we're always last to the table.
Why hasn't Ramsey been told to stop it with the headless chicken act? He has no tactical awareness. Someone needs to sit down with him and go through a replay showing him how he's leaving our centre so exposed. It completely unbalances the team when he's in midfield.
I'll ban you if it doesn't.Quote:

From what i saw of him i thought he was a quality player. Is he what we need to challenge for the title? no. What we need is a proper DCM.
We already have qualiteeeee in the centre. Ask Wenger. He'll tell you.Quote:

Cue the Mahrez rumours.
We're a bunch of clueless clowns in the transfer market anyway, we have no idea how to conduct business properly and get deals done, it's painfully slow and a tiresome saga we have to endure every single summer, the club takes all the joy out of the excitement of transfers.
Monaco's players were available for transfer when City and Chelsea were involved, the minute we get involved we put in scatter gun bids for a player they are hell bent on not selling to us.Quote:

The whole thing is one big mess.
If we miss out on Lemar? Ok but make sure we snag Mahrez instead
Lemar staying at Monaco apparently, that's that then, good job Wenger:

Wilshere to West Ham sounds like it might be real. If they agree to pay 9 mill for our future England captain.
Sounds like we've fucked all possibility of Lemar coming here. Playing the underbid game and waiting until the chavs and gypos had done their business didn't work out well for us. Big surprise. We wouldn't have Lacazette either, were it not for a transfer ban on the club he wanted to go to.
Alexis should be back now, so the fun and games will really start. Probability of this window resulting in Lacazette in/ Alexis out is increasing all the time. If that's how we end up it'll have to be qualified as yet another disastrous window. If this is the new and invigorated team in action, I'm not impressed.

We don't half stockpile some shite. Like most of the top clubs these days I guess.

Problem seems to be we can't get rid of the shite we stockpile, Gibbs, Jenkinson, Walcott, Wellbeck, Coquelin, Chambers, Gabriel, Debuchy, Silva (won't include Campbell as he's decent but isn't given a chance), they're all on such high wages and most clubs can see they are average, so nw we're stuck with a huge wagebill because of players like this.....terrible management of transfers/players all round to be honest.
Pure greed, we got what we deserve, instead of making 1.5 million we've waste 1.5 million, wasting money is something we do rather well.Quote:

You dismiss Welbeck but think Joel Campbell is decent??Quote:

I'm not doing Campbell down, but if Wellbeck isnt Arsenal quality, Joel Campbell certainly isn't
Jean Michel Serri would be a good signing, because it's obvious the player we missed most last season was Santi Cazorla
Someone who can control play in the middle of the park and create.
Exceeds? Nah.Quote:

Both have their strengths and weaknesses but I have no idea why Joel has never had the sort of run in the team Danny has had.
Campbell :lol:
He's good but he's no Sessegnon.
Last thing we need. Another featherweight midget. No matter how gifted the guy is (and I don't know much about him) we need to get away from Wenger's shitball and back to proper football. Santi's a great player, but because he's so good he compensated for Wenger's crackpot bullshit and at times made it appear Wenger has a clue what he's doing. As soon as Santi was gone our football collapsed into this sideways, backwards nightmare that is the full limit of Wenger's genius.Quote:

Joel Campbell is eons ahead of Walcott in terms of footballing ability. Quite why we have stuck with a player with the worst first touch in football history is puzzling.
He's a much better dribbler than Walcott and more suited to being a winger. Again, no idea why he hasn't been given a run in the team.Quote:
