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.
We have made one signing, some freebie nobody unknown from the Bundesligue, another typical Wenger signing, cheap and unknown is what he cares about, level of quality doesn't seem to be a criteria.
Summer is going well, our best players futures up in the air with nothing near to being signed (will drag on most of the summer I'm sure) and some bs rumours about players we'll never sign. We're incapable or simply not willing to make the necessary signings in a timely manner. Incompetence doesn't even begin to describe our handling of transfers/contracts.
How we let Sanchez/Ozil/Ox run down their contracts like that whilst offering dross like Giroud/Coquelin new contracts is beyond me.
Summer is neither going well nor badly, ignore all the media balls and let's see what we actually do (or don't do).
I'd say it's going pretty badly so far, one freebie signed, 3 of our best players not signed up and possibly leaving and noone decent signed or close to be signed. The whole summer will pass up by like it usually does and nothing but scraps wil be left.
What we actually do can probably be predicted, we do similar things every summer and it's never the things we need or fans want, this summer won't be any different, the club have already offered new contracts to all the backroom staff despite all the changes mooted before, tells you all you need to know really, nothing is going change, expect a bunch of nobodies to come through the door as is often the case.
This should have been the scenario:
1) Make a statement and sign a couple big star players early
2) Get Sanchez/Ozil/Ox deals sorted out early or find replacements
Instead we're in no mans land again, with some nobody on board and nothign sorted. Not great is it?
There is a sense of deja poo this summer. Same shit different summer.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
That Pearce article was hilarious.
As for signings, we need to sign our own players first.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
