I’m loving the transfer silence, and genuinely not knowing who our targets might be. Hopefully it means that Sven has the media stumped, and we can get any deals done quickly and cleanly before anyone knows they're happening. More Torreiras and Guendouzis please!
Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't sign anybody.
Wouldn't surprise me if Emery isn't given any money to spend, we didn't really give him much in the summer, on top of that we're hamstrung by our wage bill and the fact our revenue is not that high due to no CL so we don't have much room to bring anyone in.
Makes it more urgent to get rid of the likes of Ramsey, Xhaka, Mustafi and a few others as we need to free up wages for some decent players.
I'm not overly bothered if we don't sign anyone, I think we have enough to give ourselves a good shot at 4th. Though some new options would obviously be welcomed though.
I'd rather the likes of AMN, ESR and other youngsters were given opportunities for now, then in the summer we can take stock and hopefully Emery will have more to work with in the market.
Our defence is awful to be fair and we've lost holding, when injuries kick in and later in the season when the forwards maybe aren't as sharp we may suffer.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
To be honest I'm more worried about us playing the likes of Xhaka and Mustafi who seem to be regulars despite their obvious faults. AMN I'd like to see get a game, hard to tell whether he will though, ideally I'd like him to replace Xhaka, but Emery seems to like him.
ESM I'm not sure he'll get a game with Iwobi/Mhiki and co ahead of him in Emerys' eyes (Iwobi is very hit and miss however and Mhiki for me is a fairweather performer who just doesn't seem suited to the PL, he's not performed at all in the all the time he's been in England).

I don't want Emery to have anything to do with who they bring in. Just coach, there's levels and no just coach.
Has to be done - we desperately need to slash that wage bill before we have any room to rebuild and Ramsey represents that sweet spot that we’re looking for where he’s a) on high wages, b) prefers to play a role that the coach has little use for, and c) his contract is nearly up so he’ll be easy to move on.
In an ideal world Özil and Mkhi would follow him out the door, but unfortunately they only signed (BIG) contracts with us recently, so they’re going to be much, much harder to shift.
Close to signing Suarez, apparently.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Best Suarez in Premier League history tbh.
Barca are our feeder club.
If it’s true, then Ramsey may be on his way out this month.
