Summer transfer joy and happiness

Who signed Jenkinson, Ozil, Elneny, Mustafi etc ?

Who let Ozil's contract run down and then gave him 350k a week to stay ?

What a fucking idiot Wenger was and Arsenal are still paying for it and will be for a while yet.

well I hope we give the youngsters a go as without playing them we will never really know if they can cut it although it is a bit of a risk throwing 3 or 4 in at the same time. but its easier to be a young attacker than a young defender imo. We might have a few more options its just time will tell if its good options or not.

just spend the money on the back four.

Tbh, I wouldn’t expect to see more than 1 or 2 chucked in at the same time (unless we’re talking Europa League or League Cup games) - just enough to let us play proper wingers in the system that Emery wants to play. But even if they’re just coming off the bench, if that lets us change our shape and try something different for 20 minutes each game then it’s still more than we have been doing up until now.

Maybe someone will emerge as a consistent performer as the season goes on, but to start with I’d simply go with who looks best in training each week. Make it competitive and see who wants it the most.

Or maybe none of them will really hit the top level we need. If that happens then at least we’ll have given everyone a year of first team status and probably added £20-30m to their valuations in this crazy market (plus they’ll be on modest wages so they’ll be easy to shift). This could be just as important to us in terms of squad-building as retaining the one or two who look like they’re going to be something special.

Agree about the defence - hopefully we’ll have enough to recruit in all the areas we need to, but if money is genuinely that tight then I’d spend everything here and get creative in the other areas.

Who rejected 60m from City for Sanchez and instead took a swap from Utd for the feckless Mikhitarian. Signed Mustafi and before him a lanky German who couldn't jump but tilted instead. Xhaka as midfield lynchpin.

We have signed actor Tilda Swinton.

[Marc Overmars]

At least that shit hair will make him noticeable on the pitch.

What a stupid little prick. Looks like Dr Strangelove.

Emery says we are targeting 3 or 4 “expensive” players.

Emery "says" we are "targeting" 3 or 4 “expensive” "players".

You missed a few extra sets of quote marks out there.

And I'm going to be the president of Somalia
