Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Clearly it isn't, he signed a few top players and a lot not so great players like Debuchy, Chambers, Flamini, Kallstrom, Sanogo etc, so he's not done what he claims he would only do, it's the usual rubbish he comes out with.

I think its unfair to write off Chambers, hes young and shown he has a lot of potential. Debuchy is good back up too. Obviously Flamini and Kallstrom were mistakes.

The thing is though, there is always an element of luck in football. It looks like now that Bellerin is first choice right back, clearly Wenger knew he had talent, but it took for Debuchy to suffer a long term injury in January for him to get a long run in the team. You always get an element of luck when players are injured and suddenly others take their chance. I dont think there is any doubt that luck was with Coquelin but he took his chance and has earned his place. However, if he had failed, I think we would have signed Schnderlein, given previous interest.

Ollie, why defend him? He should have acted in the transfer window, surely everyone knows that? He's paid the big bucks to make the big plays - excuses are not allowed at that level. D Day plus one and I'm bored of talking about it now. 34 games ahead and we'll all get behind the team, apart from Zim. But Wenger, he's infuriating. His own worst enemy in the end.

So, the Welbeck news has bollocksed this up, so he's officially a cunt.

What's the Welbeck news? Don't tell me he's out for "2 weeks"

EDIT: Oh right, I see it on the other thread. Out for months - isn't that "career over" in Arsenal Injury Speak? If 2 weeks = 1/2 season then "several months" must be a very, very long time.

Anyway, I doubt Wenger knew about this when he opted to sit on his arse during the transfer window. I'm thinking Danny woke up this morning and said, I fancy a bit of surgery. And Arsene would have been like, "Urgh, dude, you could have little bit told me!"

More unnecessary pressure the club heaps on itself, given they knew he was going to be missing for months before the window shut. Bit of a joke really.

Despite all of that the Kim Kallstrom one will take some beating, bringing in a player with a broken back to cover injuries in Midfield, still laughing about that one, only at Arsenal would this happen!

That remains top of the pile.

I still like the Joel Campbell one. Dick Law spent weeks and weeks being given the run around trying to get him signed. Then he couldn't play in England for 2-3 years, and when he finally is eligible Wenget decides he isn't good enough. Yet he is still at the club without a hope of playing.

This is a brilliant piece. Though I still maintain that till Wenger changes his tactics and plans how to approach different opponents, we will challenge for fuck all. But yea, a little ambition in the transfer window would have been a boost in morale.

Cant wait for 2017 when he is 'supposed to leave'. I think someone should start a clock, similar to the one that was started when we hadnt won a trophy for a while. That'll give some hope to Arsenal fans.

Arsenal are the world's first multi-million pound trolling operation.

With the greatest WUM in history at the head of the company.
