Is this a thread parodying a subsection of the neurotic, depressive and obnoxious Arsenal fanbase?
I can't tell anymore.
I hope Elneny is just as shit as fellow unglamorous, non-galactico, unhypy signings like Koscielny, Monreal and Gabriel.

Now is the time where we do really need top quality and I hope El Neny is that.
This signing smacks of a Wenger "Vanity Project" to me, basically the cheapest option out there. I'm not against these signings to fill up the squad but hoped we could of got somewhere of a higher quality.
Sorry. Hope he dies in a car crash with Wenger and his mistress.
Dreadful post.
It's been a while since we had a new CM option, never heard of this guy but it's the right position we need to be looking to strengthen at least.
at those people thinking we can realistically bring in a Javi Martinez superstar type DM this window.
Javi Martinez is obviously unrealistic but I would have felt a bit more comfortable with someone like Lars Bender, Christopher Kramer, William Carvalho or even Ruben Neves, heck I would have been happy with Yuri Tielemans who I think is a great young talent.
Of course quality isn't always linked to price but sometimes paying that extra for a more established player is necessary, especially given our current predicament.
Elneny I'm sure will be a solid signing, Wenger has potential to work with, from the little I've seen of him he looks a solid player, not really DM, more box to box and quite a technical player.
I just hope he is ready to contribute now because the likes of Caz, Coq & Wilshere are done for the season IMO.
Something is always better than nothing . If you are a fan who complains about everything and are never satisfied with anything , even if Arsenal were to sign Messi you would have found an excuse to show your disappointment such as :" we should have gone for him when he was 20..."
Mohamed Elneny is a very ambitious player . A good tackler . A good passer . He can shoot with incredible accuracy from a very long range . Very good at set-pieces .
He is not a world class yet but very good player . What can we ask for at the moment when we only have Flamini , Arteta and Rosicky ?

DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
We wouldn't be signing him for 5 million of he were anything close to world class so I'm not expecting him to move mountains.
Frankly, bodies have been dropping with such frequency, I'm glad just to get the numbers back up. He isn't a signing I can get excited about as I know nothing of him but if he is genuinely of a standard to make a difference then all power to it.
As soon as Coquelin and Sanchez are back they should be under 24 hour surveillance if we really hope to achieve anything this season. Throw Ozil in there too.
The thing is though Selassie, with the possible exception of Kramer (maybe Leverkesen wouldn't sell given Bender's injuries??) I don't think any of those players could do any better for us right now.
Sure Lars Bender on his day has the potential to be one of the world's best and there's a good reason why we went in for him a couple of seasons ago, but since then he's been perpetually plagued by injuries. And that's the last thing we really need - an injured ridden crock who we can't depend on.
William Carvalho? The only reason his name appears at all in these lists is because his agent and club have been shamlessly whoring him around Europe for a couple of windows now. The fact that no one taken the bait should indicate that he may not be as good as he's been hyped up to be and in the CL games I saw of him last season, he was pretty dogshit.
Waynama's a beast defensively but can't pass the ball to save his life and won't fit into any top team that wan't to play progressive offensive passing football (i.e. - Any top club not managed by Mourinho).
Xhahka was the other one I kind of liked initially, but after reading some reports on him he's a hothead who's got no self-control when it comes to picking up red cards. No thank you, we've already got Flamini.
Neves & Tielemans seem promising but they're too young to be able to contribute immediately to our title challenge. Beside we've already got Bielek coming through who fills that void.
When it comes to defensive minded players Selassie, our best ones are those unheralded and unglamourous players that MS talks about, who are hard workers and professionals, who have done well at a slightly lower level and are ready to step up. See, Koscienly, Gabriel, Monreal, Coquelin etc etc.
Sure I'm not as excited as I was when we signed the likes of Ozil and Alexis, about the (seemingly) imminent transfer of Elmney but I'm pretty satisfied that we're at least addressing a clear problem in our squad with some decent quality and early (by our standards) at that as well.
