didn't think we were going to bother with this transfer window thread this time.

Just keeping the tradition going. It's more ceremonial these days. Gawd bless it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anyway, West Ham signed Fonte.

From the truth teller Rob Draper.

Arsenal are expected to challenge Manchester United for the signature of Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann, the north London club having failed with an initial attempt to sign him last summer.

Arsenal were rebuffed then because the Frenchman had just extended his contract with Atletico until 2021.

But it is widely expected that Europe's elite clubs will move again for him in the summer, with Griezmann having recently been voted third best player in the world behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Coupled with the latest rumours about Wenger, this is shaping up to be the biggest WUM yet. New manager and a 85mill bid for one of the world's premium strikers? If I hit the Arsenal to English dictionary I come up with, "Alexis leaving in the summer."

[Marc Overmars]

Payet off back to Marseille.

All went to his head. It will be downhill all the way for him now. Still, I guess he'll pick up a ton of dosh, which is what it's all about. Horrible playa.

[Marc Overmars]

He was given a loyalty bonus back in September as well. Snake.

Let's hope so, all this bollocks about not settling in London is just that. Obviously overlooking the shanty towns of Marseille is much better place to bring up your kids. Only a Tosser refuses to play.

is this the dullest transfer window on record for arsenal even by our standards. we normally used to be hopeful at the start of the window that we would sign someone... then as the window goes on..... that hope diminishes.

now we didn't even hope for any activity. it has been a long snooze fest really.

although looking at it we don't need any squad fillers so only a super super player is required. plenty of options up front, and midfield. and only real weakness is maybe a back up right back but even there there are options.

I guess that's why there are only 14 pages.

It's telling. Noticed that as well. Nobody is even calling for a new signing and it's not as if we don't need anything. Just another sign that people are growing tried of the same old.
