Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Xhaka Can’t]

There is nothing to say that hasn't been said in previous years threads.

This folks, is the definition of stagnation.

Even Dave's getting riled. So that's it, everyone else on the planet knows what's needed leaving just the one man who disagrees.

Arsenal legend David Seaman has piled the pressure on his former boss Arsene Wenger to further improve his squad in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have so far only added £30million Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka to their squad that once again faded in the title race last season, eventually finishing second behind Leicester.
And the former England goalkeeper, who spent 13 years at the club, believes Wenger still needs to strengthen in key areas if they are to maximise their potential in the coming campaign.

'We still need a dominant centre-half,' he told talkSPORT. 'We'll see what Granit [Xhaka]'s like in midfield, but ideally we need someone like Patrick Vieira. And a striker as well.
'He needs to buy someone to give the club a lift and give the fans a lift. Ideally a striker would be great, but either a centre-half or midfielder would do for me.'
Arsenal had renewed interest in Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain but the Argentine goal-getter looks destined to join Juventus for a upwards of £70m.

According to german newspaper, Bild, Arsenal are tracking young German midfielder Philipp Ochs.


The 19-year-old is German youth international represented his country at this summer's European Championships for his age group, and scored a stunning hat-trick in his side's 4-2 defeat to Portugal on Thursday.

Any player who can score a hattrick in a 4-2 defeat is worth looking at!

Newspapers are starting to copy/ paste previous day's rumours, almost unedited, for all Arsenal "activity". I think our role in this transfer window is mainly to allow players to be linked with us so they get better deals at their existing club. Icardi is the latest to take advantage of our free service.

and to convince our own fans we're working hard on getting players in, but that transfers are very hard, so that when we don't sign anyone some of the fans can think we were just unfortunate and can go into the season saying AW tried to sign so and so.

What makes it worse is that Kos, Ozil and Sanchez are all stalling on signing new deals. Our club is a shambles and this shit is self imposed, it's equivalent to self harming.

Pretty depressing hey. If we aren't going to sign a CF, we should at least be looking to bring in someone who can score 15 goals in the league + from a wide position.

I'd like Leicester to be stripped of Mahrez even if it wasn't us he came to...........that'll learn ya, Jamie Vardy.

Icardi
Mahrez
Manolas


Calling it now.

The Kos thing with Bayern sounds a bit worrying. If we lost Kos we'd be fucked beyond belief. Would be textbook Arsenal, going into the window looking for a striker and coming out having lost our best defender instead.

[Marc Overmars]

Yep, if we don't want to take a punt on a striker then we absolutely should go after a midfielder that can score regularly, ie Mahrez.
