Summer Transfer Misery 2017/18

[Power n Glory]

Yeah I think it's more of a constant drip feed of apathy.

People aren't abandoning the game en masse, but every season they are just shrugging their shoulders a little bit more

I remember a time when an Arsenal defeat used to put me in a bad mood for the entire weekend, now it's just a quick blast of "fuck Wenger" and moving on.

If I still had same enthusiasm for football. I think I would have been incandescent with rage over Wenger not only signing a new contract but getting up to his old prevaricating bullshit in the transfer market, now I'm just what you gonna do?

Exactly. It's going It's a gradual process.

Aye. I think part of it is getting older. A defeat against Spurs would put me in a bad mood for a week.
Now I tend not to bother watching, generally check the result after, think "oh", and get on with my day.
Almost impossible to completely get away with it, I was genuinely irritated when I saw we'd got 3-2 down on Friday and pleased when I saw we'd won, but I certainly don't plan my weeks or life in any way around Arsenal games any more.

Maybe, although fans are very fickle. But I don't see an en masse turning of backs is a bad thing if it happens across the board. Might even turn it into a sport again.

It might help. But in our case, we're depending on the Board to make the right choice when it comes to our next manager.

Wenger will probably choose them

Gabriel could be on his way out. Valencia interested.

So much for that stat software.

18 mill for Jonny Evans

Could we not sell the software too? Cheeky fiver?

And does this mean that crackpipe sucking crackpot Wenger genuinely fancies Elneny as a CB? Because you know all our CBs are due to be injured within the next few weeks.

Serge Aurier to Spurs. Why are we not in there...we desperately need a RB. Bellerin is looking really pish these days anyway...and who else to back him up?. wasnt he supposed to be an Arsenal fan anyway?

When you reward a very green and inexperienced rightback a contract worth up to a reported £100k a week, you’re now committed to seeing that player develop and play week in week out. I highly doubt we’re looking at other players to take his spot because of a dip in form.

Speaking of wages, I’m shocked that we doled out £100k to Bellerin with little fuss but wouldn’t offer that much to Sagna! We really should reward loyalty. Sagna was getting older and not that great going forward but he was a solid defender and I feel like our defence has been shaky since he left. We were looking solid just before he left and shouldn’t have disrupted it. Should have made Bellerin fight to win his place from Sagna and it would also keep Sagna on his toes.
