Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Marc Overmars]

Ranieri suggested Mahrez would be on the bench for us. Well that's one way to make him jump.

Make it happen Arsene. £30m cheaper!

We have Sanogo.

[Munchies]

He's 25 and has never scored an average of one goal every two games in a league that is probably worse than the championship

Tbf Toulouse are shit and they just scraped survival

[Munchies]

Lyon just publicly said they've turned down a £35m bid or Laccazette!

Euros actually but bid the money and get him!

Reckon Lacazette might privately push for a move to us. We'd be a good fit for him and vice versa...unlike Vardy. He is probably our most realistic striker target in the 40million bracket. Now we've made our interest public or Lyon have...lets close the deal. If he wants to come to us - then hopefully no bidding war will make a difference. Fingerscrossed. And hopefully Mahrez will see that we can sign a half-decent striker for him to assist for and play off of...and join us too. Hopefully soon half our team will feature a z in their name!

100% shot accuracy? and 95%? That has to be wrong.

Yes, of course cheer on the team. We're Arsenal fans, aren't we? We don't know we'll collapse. I agree there's a pretty clear pattern but if we knew with absolute certainly what would happen then we wouldn't watch. The only reason I can think to not support the team is if you are just generally fed up with football which is fairly understandable the way it's going.

The Groundhog Day at Arsenal is infuriating but so is every thread on here descending into the same topic.

I am not as fed up with football as quite a few are. Society in general is going down the drain.. I am enjoying the ride rather than complain about it.

We dont know for certain that we will collapse.. thats because anything can happen. But the probability that we will be competing throughout the season is very very low, and we have not done anything to make our odds better.

Its like putting an obese person to run a 100m race against Usain Bolt and other fit Olympic runners.. there is a slight possibility that all other runners are going to get explosive diarrhea and the obese man will win the race, but what are the chances of that happening? Is it better we prepare to our best for the race and make sure we are competitive? Or do we just say anything is possible and support the obese man?

Dont get me wrong, I'll cheer Arsenal no matter what.. but when you know that we will very likely lose despite having so much potential, it is hard to find the courage to bring any positivity to anything related to the club.

It's not quite like that but I see what you're getting at.
We're not making the most of our resources to give us the best chance of succeeding and that is where people's frustrations lie. I get that.
