Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Where is Cripps nowadays. The poor chap thought the sun shone right out of Theo`s arse.
Theo is a all about Wenger, such was wengers need for adulation having discovered the "next Henry" that he somehow conned the Swedish shagmeister Sven Goran Eriksson into putting him in the England squad. Even Sven after a few training sessions realised what a mistake he had made. Up until a few years ago, walcott could not even trap a ball properly. He could not read a game and given enough time to make a choice, almost always took the wrong one. His single MO was to run very fast and hit the ball very hard, hopefully into the net.

Wenger hasnt developed a player since Fabregas, who left as soon as he realised the stagnation was endemic with Wenger and his non tactics. Wenger wont improve a player, wont erase his bad habits, and his ego will not even allow anyone else at the club to point out the players shortcomings to him.

If Wenger was in charge of a medical school. Young doctors would be removing lungs instead of ruptured spleens and Wenger would be in the theater watching on as the patient was butchered to pieces by mistake.

Yes, but there would be great spirit in the operating theatre.

Jamie Carragher pretty much said the same thing.....apart from the sentimental missing him part. That is exactly how I feel too though......despite the fact he's fairly unpopular these days.

Very unpopular and he hasn't helped himself because he's stuck around for so long. You see the benefit of the doubt Lacazette and Giroud get on here. I see him as a number 9 and not a winger. All the advice Wenger has given him, publicly, suggests that's how Wenger wanted him to play. It's done him no favours because despite working harder last season and scoring 19 goals, it gets forgotten very quickly.

It's because when Theo is unproductive he is spectacularly unproductive. So unproductive it sticks in the mind above all else. He's the ultimate in terms of inconsistency and that makes him hugely frustrating and that means he's going to get a lot of grief. But Bif misses just as many and goes missing just as much. Now Lacazette seems to be catching the same disease. I wonder what the common factor is? Can't imagine.

Arsenal think Mkhitaryan wants to come, Sanchez deal still on, biggest danger is Raiola pushing things too far, plenty of negotiating to be done. Arsenal still interested in Evans and Malcom. Don’t think Malcom happens if they get Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan https://t.co/PrDUKhLQ6V

Can you imagine Gazidis and Wengers shock at having to deal with him? They probably loathe having to deal with him

Literally encapsulates everything they hate about football. I bet the fat pig is taking them to the cleaners with his demands

[AFC Leveller]

The funny thing about this swap deal is that we are trying swap a player who doesnt want to play for Arsenal for another player who doesnt want to play for Arsenal.....

Can't hate on Giroud. Usually always gave it his best and unlike some of the other wastemen, he did the best with the amount of skill & talent he had. Not his fault that Wenger thrust him into the position he did.

If he goes, I've got nothing but praise and respect for him.

Though with him and Theo off, it'll seem like the end of of yet another era of sorts.

Where is Cripps nowadays..

Yeah it'd be really interesting to know what he thinks about his favourite Theo.

We're transitioning to a new transition period.

Now Aubameyang has given up his daft dream of playing for Marketing and we're on the case I'm fast losing interest in where Sanchez is going. It isn't much fun considering whether I'll vomit a lot or just a little bit depending on which rival we flog him to.

Mikhi's stats off the top of my head....(I can't be arsed to double check it with google!).....were 26 goals and 13 assists in the German league last season. That looks like a potential Salah waiting to happen doesn't it? He doesn't have to score at quite that rate to be worthwhile either. I feel like I'm coming more and more around to the idea of having him.

Mkhi is an upgrade on Walcott so it would be a smart move.

Guillem Bellendgue says another 'massive club' is in for Sanchez, but won't name them:

@GuillemBalague tells #TransferTalk Manchester United could face competition from another "massive club", in addition to Chelsea, for Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez. Listen HERE: https://t.co/iAgdOmGrmX or subscribe and download HERE: https://t.co/3zykfM7S75 #SSN https://t.co/l9ZkKG3RxF


Real Madrid? Rumours of Ronaldo leaving...

[Gooner23]

That would be good, hopefully last minute of the transfer window to string United along
