Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[selassie]

Just been reading about our interest in Jonny Evans and it seems it is genuinely real. Why does Wenger do this to us? Why do we always have to go for the cheap stop gap option? Why can't we just go into the market and buy a top quality CB like our rivals do? Or at the very least go for a young CB with world class potential? I'm not spoilt, I don't expect Pogba type signings but I expect us to be aiming higher than Jonny Evans, it disgusts me that we are strongly linked with him, he's not even young.

John Stones is seemingly in City's squad on UEFA's website

The board are complicit in giving him a platform to operate the way he does, as it's to their financial gain. However those comments on spending confirm pretty much everything we already suspected about him. He is the judge, jury and executioner at the club. Throw in those comments on having to calm down Gazidis, it's cast-iron. There is no hope with him as manager anymore, he holds far too much influence.

“I’m scared we now have players under 17, under 18, who make £1m a year. When Ian Wright was earning that, he’d scored goals, he’d put his body on the line. Now, before they start, they are millionaires – a young player who has not even played.”

I don't get this part. Why has he been so quick to offer players a new contract?

This for example.

Iwobi signed a 10k deal last October and now in less than a year he's gone up to £30k. His last deal was set to run until 2019. Why offer him a new deal if that's his argument? Why have a socialist wage structure at all?

He's the main culprit ironically, he's pays overrated wannabe's at 16 millions to sign up with the club and they are millionaires even if they are average, some of the stuff he says really is nuts, it seems like there's something genuinely wrong with him when he talks these days.

I'm just sick with Wenger, I'm really starting to wish he'd never come to the club, yes he did great things earlier in his career but look at what we've had for 10+ years since, he destroying this club in ever way, fans are turning their backs on it in ways that would have never happened before he arrived.

What worse is he just simply doesn't care as long as he does things his way, which also means doing things the oppositive way to everyone else and the illogical way, Man U have just signed Pogba and we've signed noone and now seem to be after some second rate defender to fill a gap Wenger has allowed to appear, it's hard to describe how bad a manager he is right now, perhaps not in terms of where we are placed in the league, but certainly everything else he does.

“I’ve fought all my life for footballers to make money but when you pay them before they produce it can kill the hunger,” he said.

It really is nuts. I agree with him when he says the above but he enables that. Ok, technically I don’t think we’re making 16 and 17 year olds millionaires. But we’ve made plenty of players millionaires that are still developing and not even 21 years old. Iwobi signing a new deal, again, I don’t see why it’s needed. There is no danger of him leaving. He hasn’t played enough games to attract any serious attention from other clubs and if he a bigger club wanted him bad enough they could easily offer him more than £30k but obviously that won’t happen unless he plays really well. Then you could argue it’s worth paying up the wages. We really are doing things backwards. I wish someone would press him on these contradictions.

City sign Stones for £50m.

And Everton replace him with Ashley Williams.

The hilarious part about the Evans saga is apparently we've bid below WBAs valuation. The sticking point for Arsenal bringing in a journeyman from WBA is the fee. Looks like second rate is beyond us. What are our third rate options?

Deals can't be done you know. It is impossible.
