It's done.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Great.
It's done.
And yes, that was an underwhelming sarky comment
Confirmed that Caicedo will not be coming to us in this window. Bloody annoying really.
I could have told you that days ago saved you a lot of heartache
My attitude is Caicedo would have been a lovely marquee signing and therefore I can understand the disappointment. But when Brighton have lost Cucurella, Trossard and Maupay (as well as Mwepu to retirement) you’d have to prise a player like that from their cold dead hands. I also refer people back to the fact that Chelsea bid 55 million for him but chose not to pursue any further once they were rebuffed. So either they felt he wasn’t worth more (and this is a club that has spent over 100 million on a winger from Benfica based on little more than a nice goal scored in the World Cup) or they realised that that the club weren’t going to sell (which I think is more likely, with Fernandez they had to trigger a cause in his contract)
I don’t think we needed a marquee signing in this window. What we needed was some squad depth and we’ve added that so I’m content enough
Yeah we've certainly shored up the squad and it gives me more confidence we can field decent sides through the rest of the season
No but as I say if you are tempted by the prospect of something exciting and that fails to materialise it’s reasonable to feel disappointed. Now I personally think the reaction has been over the top (although to be fair less on here and more on Arsenal social media in general…lot of fans unable to emotionally self regulate) but as IBK the perennial voice of reason on here (which sounds backhanded and sarcastic but actually for once I mean it sincerely) points out it’s reasonable to be underwhelmed by Jorginho after thinking we could sign Caicedo.
We are all prone to it to an extent, my older Brother and I are often just as bad as each other. He definitely is not happy with the Jorginho signing…this is the most petulant he’s been on a football related matter since Croatia knocked Brazil out of the World Cup (I mean who gives a fuck, it’s not like he even wanted Brazil to win)
There hasn’t been been a summer or a transfer window in my time as a fan where I’ve not felt we could do better or feel slightly disappointed.
Could be worse, could be Liverpool fans and reply to a tweet about a Hillsborough memorial with “sign a fucking midfielder” stay classy lads
Jorginho.
Always rated him.
Nah I can't even pretend on this one, always thought he was the target in a big game and often was overrun.
Hopefully we don't have to use him much in those games.
