Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Coney]

Good luck to the boy. He can't be any worse than Cygan, Sendordross or any other of the shit Wenger has bought to cover that position.

Although he gave us many heart attacks when he played, we never lost a game when Cygan was on the pitch.

Welcome to Rob Holding - hope all goes well for you son.

Andre Schurrle has signed for Dortmund

Mane gives us something we didn't really have tbf, remains to be seen how he'll play but he's different to what we already had. Again, hideously expensive but there we go. At least we'll have someone who can stretch a defence if when Sturridge gets injured. Hopefully we can make some money with Benteke which would wipe out the Wijnaldum fee- in fact off the top of my head we'd be pretty much even for the window, with the likes of Balotelli (pray to God), Markovic, Luis Alberto and indeed Allen to go.

As for the rest, we're probably OK in terms of GK (Karius) and CB (Matip + this Klavan bloke as back up, Sakho cleared and Lovren looking halfway competent). This Grujic is looking like a unit in midfield, and with Henderson, Can, Milner, potentially Lucas and the odd youngster to come in as necessary. If needs be even the likes of Lallana could slot in for a bit. Depends on how we set up I guess how important another CM would be; I'd personally like a proper, defensive mid in there. My worry is actually the full backs; Moreno can't defend, and if Flanagan does go out on loan we have barely any cover on either side bar youngsters. I know we've been linked with Amavi who looked not-terrible in his few games for Villa, but we dont't know if his leg works anymore which would be a worry.

Well you've just signed Alex Manninger - happy days.

We must have thrown the money at him because I can't see why he'd join us. We don't have a record of developing young centre backs and those we have tried to develop end up looking like a car wreck.

[Marc Overmars]

Holding.

What a man.

Nothing to confirm Holding has been brought in as a defender. He could be the striker for all we know. L'Eejut got his hands on a perfectly capable young defender, Chambers, and started up his bullshit about the holding midfield role. He's an utter crackpot. Now he has another kid's career to ruin. So I hope the poor bastard is indeed getting paid plenty - it should be viewed as wages plus damages.
