Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Niall_Quinn]

You can just imagine at the next AGM people will be saying, we all know we needed a striker so why did we not buy one.

Wenger will reply, I could not find any striker better than what we already have.

This is why we are also rans every season and we will never win another PL trophy or even get close to a CL trophy with that man in charge.

Unfortunately, Giroud looked about as good as anything rolled out during the Euros. Does that mean he's a good striker? He's average. In a world of average players. But if you said bring Benzema in or get Morata or Lukaku, where's the big advantage? We can see the big transfer fee and the big wages, that's easy to see. But the advantage on the pitch? It's wafer thin if there at all. I can sort of see Wenger's point. But that doesn't excuse the fact he should have acted in the past when there were better players up for grabs. Any excuses he makes now point back to his prior excuses. He's left us short over a long period of time.

Why should we base our transfer strategy on the Euros? What are we paying our scouts for if they can't identify strikers better than what we currenty have?

I can't see Wenger's point at all, he's failed window after window to improve our team, he would be sacked if he was doing this at any other rival club, it's ridiculous that we are even discussing this.

I said I can perhaps see his point in the context of this rather dull and uninspiring shop window. But of course not in the bigger context of seasons gone when he should have acted. Then again, when he's acted we got Sanogo, Chamakh and a crock who never plays.

The guy is incompetent when it comes to transfers, time and time again he's failed to address problem areas, we have the same thing every f*cking summer with this fool and frankly it's shameful we still have to put up with him and perhaps may see him being offered yet another underserved contract.

It literally is dead right now

No links to any players even

[Munchies]

Spurs have signed this guy for £18m. Nothing.

Clinical finisher it seems ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

Well we have already landed 3 players IIRC. 2 nobodies and a £33mill player who will make us even more unbearable to watch.

This club is an absolute waste of space when it comes to transfers, as usual it's a massive disappointment so far, just watching other clubs sweep up all the possible targets whilst we put some BS stories out there about players we're interested in.

Nothing ever changes does it and nothing ever will, that much is clear, I think our scouts are on their summer holidays, we already know Wenger is, he was enjoying the Euros and now he'll probably disappear on his yacht until August.

A little concerning...... Sean William Scott looked pretty good....
