Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I didn't say it wasn't bad PR for the club. But that's not an example of Gazidis handling PR badly. There is a difference.

The fact that he made the statement in the first place regardless of his motivations would rather suggest the opposite

Don't get me wrong I don't think the guy is stupid either, but look at the precise things he says basically says the club cannot compete with other clubs in the sense that they can't afford to spend money and make bad moves implying other clubs can spend more heedlessly. I don't believe for a second that's not him saying well Arsene is cautious because he knows whilst the club can spend money, it cannot waste money.

Who gives a shit if he cares? The only important thing is that he gets the fuck out. This club cannot move while he is here. It may well not be able to move when he's gone either, but at least one impediment will be gone. One thing at a time.

You're losing track of the conversation and why I believe that statement wasn't designed to cover for Wenger.

The only reason you gave is that it wouldn't be smart, where as I think as I've said he's a useful lightning rod but if they throw him under the bus too often he will just walk away and they don't want that. Or at least Kroenke doesn't, and Gazidis is there to do Kroenkes bidding essentially.

Holding really tall or is Koscielny small......

[Globalgunner]

He is quite tall as Wenger has been buying small defenders for years now. Kos is probably 5`11" or slighty taller. The boy has promise, so did Chambers before Wenger got his hands on him. I hear Bielik is also quite good, He was supposed to be a top notch CM when we bought him, so who knows what lies in store for him now.

Very true, whether he cares or not doesn't matter in the least (Letters always starts his post with the same he cares BS), if he didn't but built a good team I wouldn't give a sh*t, noone would, the fact is he's a patronising, arrogant man who can't build a good enough team to compete, whether is be due to his incompetence or stubborness doesn't matter, it's a fact and like you said he needs to f*ck off because he's ruining this club.

Mustafi on the bench for Valencia

Seems it won't happen then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Him being on the bench makes it more likely doesn't it?

Without being likely at all.

I am conflicted to be honest, you shouldn't have to spend £30 million just to buy the centre back you want but then the other part of me just thinks, suck it up - it's the way it is.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Fucking hell......Valencia asking for up to 50 mil for Mustafi and even WBA wanting 25 for Evans.....we are the laughing stock of the football world! Even though the figures are made up and will not what the players will (if) go for, clubs know they have is by the balls and that is what is so shit about it.

Bloody Citeh are close to signing another player (in a position they don't have to urgently go for) and we are still pissing around for a player in a position we most definitely need to find a body for and that is not even starting to talk about our striker situation!!!

Bring no one in but ship Campbell out maybe Holding can play on the wing too

I think the Mustafi deal will go through but it has taken way too fuc&ing long......we are crap at transfers, shit get Evans in and add Saido then 25-30 mil is an ok price

And because we are so crap at getting deals done....Bony is obviously available so get him......Arsenal quality? Define that please Wenger because we are at scrapping the barrel time! Wenger, tell the truth you are going to do what you did last season, aren't you? Try to win it all with Giroud....even if you do bring in Lacazette or someone, don't you understand it has to be before the bloody season starts.....UTD, Citeh and Chavs 6 pts from two games is proof enough
