Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[Power n Glory]

Eduardo; Nasri; Koscielny; Song; Oxlade; Arshavin; Nasri; Arteta; Mertesacker. All players who were either 'names' or quality players. Not sure Wenger's got it any more wrong than other top managers when evened out. Even the great SAF had to rely on 2 geriatrics this season because he didn;t have sufficient quality in house...

Song came through our ranks and developed as a good player. One of the few to make it through the reserves, on to the loan spell and then into the first team. But Merts, Kos, Oxlade, Arteta, Arshavin and even Nasri....we should have been brining in experienced players before Henry left, it's been a slow drip and he takes too long to strengthen key areas. By chance, we stumbled upon Sczczeny. If Fabianski didn't get injured, he'd probably still be our first choice keeper. Now we finally have a decent keeper and few decent looking defenders, our central midfield has been ripped apart, that was one of strongest areas. We've taken too long to bring players and get a balance in the squad. Now that we've finally found a goals scorer, we're about to have another Adebayor/Henry moment with RVP. We're constantly putting out fires instead of building upon a strong foundation.

Whatever we do, Barcelona, City, the chavs are in a position to watch us develop talent and then slap a stupid amount of money on the table. What do we do about that? You think that shitbag Nasri would have stayed if we won the PL but couldn't offer the same money as city? Cesc was gone anyway. RvP is looking for the last big pay day, we can't afford to compete with the clubs who could make that happen for him. Cashley we know about. Ade, another cash whore. Arsenal built all these players either from raw material or by improving them to the levels that alerted the big sniper clubs. What can we realistically do to stop this happening? Hanging on to Ox and Wilshere will be the next big challenge. And potential replacements see the silly money being offered to pluck the talent out of our team and suddenly they think they are worth the same. That little shit Hazard, for example? £200K a week for somebody who has achieved fuck all? That's the legacy of the bullshit way clubs like Barca, Real and city operate. They destabilise the whole game and get away with it because stupid ****s in the media and football authorities love these mega money mercenary outfits because they put arses on seats. It's all about the cash.

I don't think we've done too badly over the last few years considering the ruthless way the like of Barca have pursued our players and tried to unsettle us. Could have been better for sure but it's not so fair to ignore the conditions we are operating under.

Deffo don't want this guy anywhere near our club.

JAN VERTONGHEN has warned Tottenham to hurry up and sign him — or risk losing out to Arsenal.

As long as people keep looking to outside influences and using money as an excuse, it will always be our crutch and we'll never push on as a club. We have a reputation now for being bottlers and an unambitious club. When you keep throwing away leads, title challenges and finals, it takes it's toll. Some playere leave for money but some get worn out. RVP, Cesc, Song and Henry were at the club for a long time. We should have built around a core group of players instead of shifting all the responsility on to them. It all started with Vieria. We never replaced him and the senior players kept on calling for new playere to help us and it never happened. We're on that same cycle where players at leaving becaue they're frustrated. Some leave for money, but a lot of have left because we're static.

Money as an excuse? Money is 95% of the game, everything else (all that BS about trophies and ambition) fits into the other 5%

When all is said and done, where do the (supposedly) top players end up? At the clubs that pay the most in wages. We're on the fringes of the leading pack so we can still attract quality, but it's always ripe to be siphoned off by clubs that are not bound by standard business restrictions, bollocks like profit and loss, cashflow, that kind of shit that 99.9% of the world has to pay attention to. Observing the reality of this fact is not an excuse, it's just the way it is. We can clearly see the influence of money in the game. Perhaps players do get worn out but that's speculation based on stuff that goes on behind the scenes and a lot of it will surely be public relations designed to make a greedy bastard a little bit more attractive than he'd otherwise seem. Fans do the paying not the earning so we're always likely to value attributes such as loyalty. But why should the players care when it's a money spinning bonanza and they hold all the cards? Some of the fuckers don't even need to play these days to get their £100K a week. I think you're confusing the fans' view with the players' view and then criticising the club based on characteristics you assume exist in those players. The little scrotes don't even speak for themselves anyway, they have agents telling them what to think and say. It can't be easy trying to manage the little fucks.

[Power n Glory]

There are players that leave at the first opportunity after being courted by the big flubs and players that turn down offers and stick it for as long as possible until they grow tired.

When players watch guys like Almunia and Denilson make mistake after mistake and nothing is done to bring in quality players, the top players start to question the direction we're heading in. What we did last summer with Arteta, Merts, Santos...we should have done that while we still had Cesc and Nasri in the squad. We've allowed rubbish players to have too many games and Wenger has been fat too patient.

[Ollie the Optimist]

if we are second choice to the scum then that player can fuck off. no fucking way am i playing second fiddle to the scum

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea are close to signing Hulk, seen a figure of 35 million euros mentioned, anyway, thank fuck it's not Falcao.

[Joker]

I still think if you took a sample of players most would prefer us to Spurs, but for how much longer? They're definitely progressing as a club, while we've stagnated which is why we're beginning to see players like Vertonghen wanting to join Spurs.

On ssn app it says that dempsey has hinted at a move away from full ham as he wants to play champions league football. Come on arsene, make it happen!
