Summer transfer joy and happiness

[Özim]

Oh yeah. Clubs who spend trucks and trucks of money to try and buy success definitely deserve credit.

Yes, certainly better than spending nothing and charging the core of the club the highest prices in Europe.

It's clear the self sustainable model is a thing of the past, you move with the times or you get left behind, clearly we're happy to be left behind.

Arsenal is the worst of the worst to be honest, everyone makes money out of the club, the owner has made a fortune, but apparently this is OK and we should turn our nose up are clubs owned by people who are willing to put their own money in.

As a character / personality in the dressing room, I can see Xhaka being a decent enough captain - I just don't want to see him as a shoe-in for a starting place each week.

Then again, this is Arsenal we're talking about - if any club is going to give the captaincy to someone who may not play, it's us, so maybe there's some hope there.

Plus Emery does like to have a bout 30 captains, so maybe it doesn't matter.

He's got no character, no fight, he epitomises what's wrong with Arsenal to be honest, players who stay in their comfort zone and don't seem too affected when we lose. A captain should be someone who can lead by example, not someone who watches as the game passes him by.

Torreira, Lacazette are certainyl far better candidates.

People who thought Wenger was the problem

But seriously, I basically agree. We are a mess and that won't change with our current owner.

The pratting around you see from them on social media increasingly annoys me. Stop dicking around with NFL stars and start signing some players and winning more games, you pricks.

I did pay more attention last year as it was Emery's first season but honestly it's all leaving me a bit cold, there's not much to admire about modern football. I wasn't even that fussed we lost the Europa Final. Obviously I wanted us to win but it didn't ruin my day like it would have back in the day.

I agree totally, I’m beyond giving a fuck now. There’s nothing to like about a lot of footballers now. Stan and his maggot son will ruin this club. Until they’re gone, I couldn’t give a toss.

It is hard to give a fuck when they so clearly don't.
There used to be some relationship between the club and the fans. We were in it together. Those days have long gone.
The relationship is now customer and business. When I was a member I was always getting emails patting me down for more money.
They know we can't go to the "shop" down the road so the only other option is to become disinterested.
The players often used to come to a club young and develop a real relationship with the club and the fans, now they're obscenely paid mercenaries who will bugger off the first time someone waves and even bigger cheque under their noses.

All a bit sad really. I blame Sky. They promised us "a whole new ball game" and boy did they deliver.

Wenger was a massive problem and in a way he still is because so much of the crap he signed is still here.

Until Arsenal get rid of Ozil, Elneny, Jenks and Mustafi, they will win nothing and not finish in the top 4.

Kos and Monreal are too old as well.

I wish that the season was not starting again in a few weeks.

[dostoy]

Why is Emery not freezing Mustafi out ?

Mustafi should be told he has no future here and to find another club.

Arseanl are better off without him, surely someone can be signed to replace him, even if its on loan.

Just get rid of him.

The crap that finished 2 points off of 4th place, 3 points off 3rd, and got to the Europa League final last year?
We're nowhere near the level of the top 2. After that there was nothing in it last year.
Although without Ramsey and Kos sulking and no notable new signings looking likely, I am concerned.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Trouble is, the club isn't going to sell the captain, so it suggests Xhaka is here to stay, yet the guy is utterly inadequate.

He definitely is. As is Mustafi.

No point wasting your energy. He doesn’t even support Arsenal.
