Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Lyon tended to play Lacazette in order to make that partnership work better.

Did he really say that? If so, I'm assuming that's a defence delivered with a spiked glove.

He'll be the same as Ozil. Not here.

Sounds like trying to Spin insanity into thinking outside the box

Sounds like he's saying Wenger is a total dickhead, the way I read it. Which is the simplest explanation because it's statement of the obvious.

I think you’re reading between the lines and attributing a subtlety of thought to Gazidis that doesn’t exist

To you and me Wenger is just a weird stubborn old man. A lanky french amalgamation of Captain Ahab and the selfish cunt Howard Roark from The Fountainhead

But to Gazidis he at least was more of a Pablo Picasso.

[Cripps]

I think gazidis knows the old dog is past it but he's powerless. He finally thought he could get some change this summer but nope. Deep down he's probably counting down the days to the old dog leaves, he can do his job properly.

Maybe that's why we didn't replace dick law and gazidis is doing his job too? So Wenger reports solely into him and he can directly assess every aspect of his role and how the has-been is completely useless in every department?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I find it bizarre the amount of leeway people are willing to give Gazidis. I used to think well at least he’s the only one telling the fans someone is listening. But I suspect all of that is just bollocks to take the spotlight off him - swallows gold and speaks tin.

Essentially all we have is his word that he tried to do anything, thus we get this load of wank about him offering his resignation and Kroenke refusing it. Outside of Qatar and a few other countries you can’t force people to work for you against their will.
