Pre-season press conference at 9

[KSE Comedy Club]

This was a very good opportunity for the club to cut through the bullshit and just be honest with the fans and draw a line under these 'saga's'.

'Cesc is being sold to barca and nasri is in discussions about a move away. We have targets lined up as replacements and we hope to bring you concrete details and news very soon'

I think every arsenal fan in the country would have respected that a whole lot more than the bullshit misdirection that we were fed instead.

Best fucking press conference ever: Vermaelen is fit and the threat of Squillaci playing against Newcastle has been averted, that's all I want.

Everything else is Wenger being Wenger and anyone who expected any different really hasn't been paying attention the last few years.

This. The strong suspicion is that all of the posturing - eg how can we lose Fabregas and Nasri and be regarded as a 'big club' etc has been nothing but weasel words, uttered for one purpose and one purpose alone - in an attempt to drive up the transfer deals. It doesn't matter that the club ends up looking like a laughing stock, and the fans like chumps - paying the highest ticket prices in the country to watch their best players fly out the door.
