Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Munchies]

I'll still follow our results but wont be spending any money on the club until something changes.

I know some people predict doom and gloom every summer, but I actually think this one feels a bit different (for me personally). I reckon the complacency levels are at record high now within the higher echelons of the club. This season really has the potential to be a shocker.

The managers you mentioned above will get their teams playing better, meanwhile it's not looking like we'll be pushing the boat out to strengthen. That combined with a manager with his head in the sand, and the rapidly growing discontent within the fanbase. It could all turn very ugly. Although perhaps that's what is needed to snap us out of autopilot.

Only thing I really bought was the shirts, wanted this Summer's home shirt but put it off until we fixed the squad. Fuck it.

Same with the tickets, I only go to 2-3 games a season now. Can't even be bothered. What's the point.

Got sent an email from the club back when we played WBA at home, spare tickets going for £55.

WTF, playing CMs' wide, why not buy some wingers that would make sense, absolutely delusional.

I honestly think Wenger is one of the worst managers in football today, maybe not in terms of results but certainly in terms of value for money, entertainment, tactics and ability to fix problem areas in the team, right now I just want him out, without even having to think about who would replace him, this club without a manager would be better than it is with him as manager.

The man has no redeeming qualities at all, he's an embarrassment, but they're all happy after all they have their massive paychecks at the end of every month so why would they care about the state of the team.

I think it's clear as day what their agenda is. Don't waste your money. Considering how bad things got last season, the response from club is staggering. They couldn't give a shit.

I just think they are absolutely coasting on autopilot. The money is rolling in, the results are just about good enough to keep (an albeit shrinking) percentage of the fan base content.

Nothing more to see folks. This is a joke.

Klopp
Conte
Mourinho
Guardiola

Four of the best coaches in the world competing in one league for the first time. Yet this is our response!

These guys aren't serious, man! Time for every Arsenal fan to reflect on what's going on. If the time difference wasn't so crazy, I'd dedicate more time to watching NBA and NFL.

If we can't pip Leicester City to the title, we have no chance of doing it this year. My only hope for this season is that people finally lose their shit at the Emirates and boo the shit out of the manager and club until they walk away. We have some absolute scumbags running the club and no sane person should invest anymore money and time into this.

To be honest, he's not going to get any results against the big boys this season, might even get the odd trouncing like a few years ago, not that he cares, it's water of a ducks back for his, he humiliates the club and all involved and still pretends he's doing nothing wrong.

We already know we won't beat Man U as we never do and now that Mourinho is around again, he'll make Wenger look like the amateur he is in our games.

Part of the problem I'm afraid, the fans that are content and even happy about what's happening and think 4th place is like winning the CL, we saw it last season, they've achieved their goals, lowered expectations so that 4th place is now like winning, this isn't a top club at all, just a business with some people who are seemingly irrationally addicted to the product they sell.

@timpayton
All these fans saying Arsenal won't spend money. Pah. Board recently signed off on big bonuses for Gazidis & 'consultancy' fees for Kroenke

[Gooner23]

I think there is still a large section of match going fans who are happy just turn up on a Saturday and watch the team, win or lose its a release from 'real life'. They don't follow the politics of the club all that closely and therefore wont get too wrapped up in it all. I don't see anything changing any time soon.

Quincy Owusu Abeyie

Quincy, Reyes, Ox... plenty of players with natural ability that we've got next to nothing out of. I've always thought it was a problem with the players. But when I think of the fables he has about knowing about Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.... Pele before they were even born I even doubt he knows how to identify talent from young. He tries to present himself as some sort of all knowing football sage but if he had an inkling of how great these guys could have been, why the heck didn't he sign them? It makes him look bad every time.

Fuck off you prick

Sanogo's brother is on the horizon

It's tiring listening to or reading quotes, interviews or statements from the powers of be at our club. Boring worn out rhetoric about absolutely nothing at all.

These words from the spineless Gazidis are hollow, citing Leicester as an example is all well and fine but we are a million miles away from them in terms of organisation and working as a unit. Our recruitment and scouting is pretty lousy too, I find it ironic that he is citing the French Market as an example for where some hidden gems could be discovered, we have Grimandi dedicated to scouting French talent yet all he seems to do is pick up DUDS. A lot of talent has emerged from Ligue One over the past 5 years, it's the best generation of French players in quite some time yet we haven't picked up any of them, not one!

I'm done with this club, I'm not renewing my membership and will not put a penny into this club until we start competing again.

The guy had a problem beating Pulis and Sam Allardyce FFS!
