Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Apparently the bid for Lucas has hit trouble because we want to pay in two installements whereas Deportovio are demanding the fee upfront in one go.

Arsenal have been told that the structure of their £16.9million bid for Lucas Perez is 'unacceptable'.
Arsenal want to pay the 27-year-old striker's buyout clause in two instalments but his club Deportivo want the fee in one payment.
The impasse will give Everton hope in their pursuit of the player but it is understood Lucas's preference is to join Arsenal owing to the prospect of playing Champions League football.

Our cheapness

Wenger's time is up. He hasn't done well to keep us in the top 4 and against better managers, he's about to get exposed.

I actually think up to a point he has, yes at the same time he showed he was unable to push us on. But up to about four years ago i think it was a struggle for arsenal getting in the top four.

Bravo signs for City.

The outpouring of grief for Hart is hilarious. He's been erratic for years now.

He is error prone, serves him right the arrogant prick.

Was at fault for nearly all ofthe goals England conceded at the euros

In fairness, very few transfer fees are paid all up front certainly not anything above 15million

STOP DEFENDING EVERYTHING WENGER DOES!





Am I doing this right?

I just don't rate the guy as a manager, he's probably the only manager I've ever seen who doesn't prioritise winning and hails failure as a massive feat.

Back to the Perez guy though, being an Arsenal fan is now all about disappointment, disappointment in the league, disapointment in the CL, disappointment in the big games, disappointment in the transfer market, starting to face the reality that we might never be challenging for the big prizes again as this club is rife with greed, pompousness and lies.

Without wanting to slate Perez, this signing would be a massive disappointment and proof we never learn from our mistakes, yes he could be a big hit, score lots of goals and wow us, but let's be honest it's pretty unlikely, more likely he'll be a middle of the road guy who'll score the odd goal here and there, most of the top talents are discovered at his age (28).

Our cheapness

Please can we just pay the money..............

[AFC Leveller]

According to Spanish media outlet Cadena Ser, Deportivo La Coruna have this morning rejected Arsenal’s bid of €20m (£17m) for 27-year-old forward Lucas Perez.

The former PAOK forward has a €20m release clause in his contract but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reportedly offered Deportivo the money in two instalments.

Lucas Perez scored 17 La Liga goals last season and would be brought in to provide competition for Olivier Giroud. Wenger just needs to stump up the cash…

You're shitting me!
Why didn't you say something before now?

[Marc Overmars]

Come to think of it, I don't think Spanish strikers have fared too well over here. Torres is probably the best one but he fell off a cliff, I suppose there is Costa but he is far from your ordinary Spanish forward. Soldado? Michu? Anyone else you can think of?

Hope this guy knows what to expect from the PL, as technically great as La Liga is, it's apples and oranges when comparing it to the shit kicking of the PL.

Though as TEG mentioned earlier, the fact Koeman wants him should be encouraging as his recruitment since he's been here has been decent.
