    AMN imo is probably one of the best options we have right now either in midfield better option than Xhaka when available (he'd at least be able to play 90 minutes) also he could just bite the bullet and accept that he is wanted at right back he won't be going in this window (unless something drastic happens).

    Yeah, that’s about where I’m at - I’ve tried to be fair when I see a difference between an excuse and a legitimate reason, but it’s getting harder and harder to see any kind of plan or thinking behind anything we’re doing. Sure, it’s tough out there right now and they’ve been saddled with a lot of shit from previous regimes, but they’ve also had a lot of time to look at the situation and plan for it - it was a high bar, but they took on the challenge knowing there was no room for failure, and this summer has been a failure.

    (And that’s not a slight on the players we’ve brought in btw, but we needed at least 2 or 3 more starters and 7-8 more outs for this summer to have been a success.)

    Agreed - nothing is happening today. What we have now is what we have until at least January…

    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    According to John Cross (so take with big pinch of salt) Arteta will not sell Maitlend Niles but has banished him to reserves so he no longer trains with the first team.


    What is the point of refusing to sell a player if you aren’t going to play him anyway? Just another case, like with Ozil, where Arteta tries to act billy big bollocks to the complete detriment of the club

    Not a clue - all I know is spurs were in for him earlier in the window.

    Sounds like another RB / CB.

    Totally true, trying to wave his dick around

    Refusing to let AMN go is pathetic, same with Nketiah, alao Nelson, they're ruining these guys' careers

    I just dont know what Arteta thinks he will achieve here. Some of the players just then leave on a free when we could have got money for them. They obviously cause problems for squad morale if he doesnt want them and its not exactly a ringing endorsement for new players to join us if they think thats what hte manager will do to them.

    Again, pinch of salt here, but according to newspaper reports, we could have generated 80m in transfer fees for some players like AMN, Nketiah, Xhaka but we have rejected that. Now most will leave for free & Arteta wont even play them. It’s just lunacy

    maybe he's scared of another Martinez situation where they sold a really good player and the remaining No 1 goalie wants out

    btw the Arseblog pod made an interesting suggetion that Leno is ignoring Arteta and kicking long now, which will do nothing for Arteta's standing
