Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[Niall_Quinn]

Watkins injured and misses at least the next game.

He was PERFECT for us!

Of course he wouldn't have played in the game where he picked up the injury if we had signed him.

Could the Kroenke's have deliberately sabotaged the season? Sounds mad, but say we had behaved in a sane manner in the two transfer windows. Say we had gone on to win something. That would then be the new standard, wouldn't it? Did us finishing within 2 points of city last year make them shit their pants and hide their wallets?

Crazy theory, but not nearly as crazy as not signing cover in January.

Do we really want him to play his first season in the treatment room? Could affect his confidence.

Well as he's under 18 that is probably where you would find MLS and Nwaneri before matches

I know it's tongue in cheek (but you never know with Arsenal). You can't bring a literal kid in who is still developing physically. But there's a wide player who is probably around the same age as Nwaneri and used to link up well with him. I hope he's not the guy we let Utd grab. He might have to be the option if Sterling stinks the place out.

Sterling though. This is pure desperation and a long way from a gamble. At least with gambling you have a chance, no matter how slim.

And I'm guessing Oyedeji will be seeing game time rather than the odd visit to the bench.

Delving deeper down the conspiracy hole.

What if these cunts are looking forward to a big Saliba pay-day? To fund the summer spectacular without having to actually spend? Showing him this perfect lack of ambition would help with that a lot.

And if we do bring in reserves, now out of necessity, and if they play well, what of they suddenly become like a new signing?

WHAT IF the plan is to make a profit in the summer window?

If this isn't in the Kroenke's plan we better hope they don't secretly look on here for idea's

Fuck - mods can you please delete all my posts?

I have no doubt that Saliba is being courted and possibly some other players of ours will be too. It is inevitable if you don’t win anything that your best players will be picked off. We’ve seen this movie before.

It wouldn't bother me too much if Saliba left for a big price. Gabby is the better of the two imho.
