Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

Wouldnt mind De Jong here.

Valbuenas fallen off the radar a bit hasnt he?

Yeah De Jong is good, but would he sign for us from Man City, unlikely I would think...plus he can tackle can't he? That rules him out

[Özim]

Fucking hell, De Jong. That would be a new low.

He's an excellent player, better than most of the shite we have to be honest, don't worry though he won't sign.

No I blame Wenger, he's the guy that brings them in and should motivate them, or ship them out when they're not right, he doesn't. Nasri like others before, from Cole onwards left to win...sure they got more money but winning played it's part....and if you look at Cole and Nasri I don't think they regret it. These guys could have been part of a great team if we'd had more ambition, fact is we sell our best players all the time, do you honestly expect our better players to stay when they see this happening all the time?

Nasri doesn't set a great example, but we're interested in profits at the expense of the team watching top players walking away is to be expected.

Yes we are interested in profits at the expense of the team. I don't think anyone could make a convincing case that disproved this fact. And yet Wenger still keeps us in the top flight even though the poor fucker has to make profits in the transfer window when his competition are busy creating losses that would sink any normal business.

I don't like the way the club operates, not one bit. But ignoring Wenger's achievements against all odds and focusing entirely on his failures is unreasonable. The constant drone of criticism doesn't change things. Only Stan can make the changes and he chooses not to.

so nasri who played in the CC final and had a chance to win something with us, went missing in the final and did nothing yet you dont blame him at all and understand him leaving to win stuff but blame wenger for not motivating him. right. nasri did nothing to help us but its all wengers fault

Like I said I blame Wenger, the whole thing was unprofessional and that comes from the manager, a top manager would make sure his players are focussed and that they arrived in suits.

Top teams very rarely lose to smaller teams in semi finals/finals, the fact we did chose our lack of focus and that's down to the manager, he pampers the players too much.

so a team, who are played by the club are free from blame for not turning up in a final yet you blame wenger 100%

[Niall_Quinn]

Cos that is what he said in articles/reports etc

Or do we just go on articles/reports which suggest he was whoring himself out to clubs?

You have no trouble believing those ones.

A classic GW trait. Believing only what you want to believe even when the truth is out there

Well he was the one doing the whoring. The fucker was walking around with a mattress strapped to his back for the last month. So he hoovers up the biggest offer and now he's doing the "football reasons" thing? And you believe that? Why? I don't see the anti-Wenger angle in all this, but I'm sure there must be one.

I don't rate Wenger, I don't rate any top manager at a top club that accepts losing as easily as he does and goes beyond that and praises it. I don't give a toss about 3rd/4th place it's meaningless, it takes us into a competition about money where we just make up the numbers, I take no pleasure from that.

What kind of manager goes 6 years winning nothing and is happy with his achievements? Not a top one that's for sure, he's an economist not a top manager sadly for us.

given that wenger always made the players wear suits in finals before, why would he change? could have been the players asking not to wear them etc. cant always be his fault ffs.

if players are not focused and motivated for a final knowing how much it means to fans then that says more about them then wenger imo

[Niall_Quinn]

He's an excellent player, better than most of the shite we have to be honest, don't worry though he won't sign.

But he's a filthy **** who we've hated for years. Why the hell would we want him here now? Why don't we just sign van Nistlerooy and be done with it? Or Teddy Sherringham?

[Özim]

so a team, who are played by the club are free from blame for not turning up in a final yet you blame wenger 100%

Yes, his team, his players, his tactics, his discipline, his unprofesionnalism.

The team are a reflection of the manager, a soft touch basically.
