Summer Transfer Misery 2017/18

[Niall_Quinn]

The risk Wenger runs now is losing respect from the fans who may think he's an awful manager but still a good bloke who loves the club. I gave up believing the latter a while back because somebody who loves the club doesn't do what he's done and doesn't keep telling the lies he tells. But plenty still preface everything they say about Wenger with, I respect him. That will go soon, depending on how long he insists on hanging on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Also, it would be interesting to hear from Wenger on WHY he hesitated. What does he think is wrong at the club? Where does he feel he's gone wrong? What mistakes does he acknowledge making? I bet his answers, if here ever offered any, would be very different to the average fan's take on things.

I believe I was little bit too committed to success, I believe I was little bit obsessed with ambition, I believe I was little bit too active in the transfer window, I wonder what fantasies he'd create?

[Power n Glory]

I don't know about you but for me that is directly contradictory to his attitude last season, where he was dismissive of criticism and seemed to believe he had an automatic right to extend his contract. I think if he genuinely had doubts he wouldn't have superseded the board the way he did.
This sounds to me like he's trying in vein to build bridges with fans because I think he does at least acknowledge that if they all turn against him big time, it's untenable for him.

Very dismissive and he was trying to shift the blame over to the fans with that 'hostile environment' jab. No idea what's going on right now but you might be right about an attempt to build bridges. It's an absolute cluster fuck. I think they all know they've fell asleep at the wheel. But if they don't.....

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Simeone signs a two year extension at Atheltico until 2020. That's him out of the picture then for a while.

Annoying how we missed out on the glut of top quality managers that were available a couple of years ago simply because Wenger was too reluctant to give up power. When he does go we're probably going to end up having to get someone like Eddie Howe in ...... sigh.

Did the fax for the Trabelsi transfer come through yet?

Simeone will never end up here, which is a shame because he's exactly what we need, a man who is tactically astute, can instill discipline, has an eye for talent, creates a real team with really great spirit and can beat the best teams and raise the level of his club.

But yeah looking at what they say about Kroenke and his other franchises he doesn't really care too much who's in charge, he'll happily employ some nobody with an awful record so it doesn't bode well for us, when you add in Wenger who will probably have a say and wants some unknown Wenger clone to take over, well........the chances of us getting a top manager are shrinking by the minute.

[Özim]

Apparently Kroenke wants us to win trophies, but looks at the model of Leicester (not the other bigger clubs) as the way to win the league according to David Ornstein.

What a joke, Leicester are a small club in comparison with low gate receipts, we make a tonne of money, have two billionaires (one of which would put his own money in) and have decades of success and history. It gets better by the day, we we're suppose to move to the Emirates to compete with the biggest clubs, now we're just competing with Leicester!!!

Next summer's transfer window begins:

Arsenal and Everton to battle it out with Juventus for Cagliari’s North Korean striker Han Kwang-song

And there are people here who say we can't win the CL

[Letters]

I would usually say I'll judge it at the end of the season but I'm calling it: I don't think we will win the CL this year.

If, in the unlikely event, we don't win the CL this year, we'll know who to blame. Stan wants to win trophies, why don't you?

The decline is only starting, we are a club heading towards free fall and nobody cans stop it.
