Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

[Özim]

So Sanchez is gone, no real surprise, Man U get a world class player who can score a lot of goals, real coup for them and will take them up a level as they now have a real matchwinning up front.

Meanwhile we get Mkhitaryan a guy who flopped at Man U

Yay

Wenger said:

Henrikh is a very complete player. He creates chances, he defends well, he can absorb distances and he's very committed as well. I must say he's a player who has all the attributes.

He can't defend I don't think (but then Wenger doesn't have a clue about defending so it makes sense he thinks he can defend). Apparently very commited as well, may be so but he's not a player who has any stomach for a fight when the chips are down.

Not too sure what to make of this guy, we'll have to wait and see what he offers, but having seen him at Man U, underwhelmed to say the least.

Sounds like Dortmund want Giroud but separate to the Auba deal.

£55m is the price, hurry up and pay it. Can’t believe we’ve already low balled them.

Don't know who he's been watching but Mkhitaryan can't defend to save his life, he doesn't even pretend to defend. Which is why Wenger thinks he's a great defender I suppose. People will be surprised at how ordinary this player is. Or maybe they won't now Wenger has said he likes him. If he's so fucking good how come we weren't in the bidding when he went to Utd for 28 mill? Liar Wenger. Liar, liar, liar. PR scumbag. You just cost the club 80 mill, fucker. That's the real story here.

I'll give Mkhitaryan a chance and I expect him to be a pleasant surprise because my expectations are absolute rock bottom. It would be funny if he turns out to be effective, just to piss Wenger off.

When is the cunt leaving? FFS.

Drag this out? Frantic bid in the last minute of the window? 90 mill? Might work.

Sounds like a fair swap.
Mkhitaryan

Mkhitaryan

Yes, about as fair as swapping a shiny Charizard for Pidgeotto.

No that's what I thought, but then Wenger thinks defence is conceding 2-3 goals a game so no wonder he thinks he can defend. You're right of course Man U got him for 26 million, no sign of us when they signed him, of course we'll take him now because that's what we usually do with Man U rejects noone else wants, take them of their hands and do them a favour.

Reminds me of the Gallas/Cole swap.

It's what we do best, rather than stump up like most other clubs. We also wait ages between bids, if you offer 45 million and someone says no then it doesn't take a week to go back in with a higher bid, you know how much you're willing to spend at the end of the day.

Think we think we're being clever, laughable really

I literally have no idea what you're talking about but am glad you agree.

Wenger's really good at hiding the fax machine and chequebook. Sometimes it takes years to find them.
