Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Penguin]

I think he really needs to shut up and get the job done now, his excuses and philosophical explanations have grown so tiresome. Nothing he says is going to pacify the fans, not when we see everyone around us capable of getting players in regardless of financial might and existing quality.

I'm telling you, he absolutely hates having to sign players. He probably sees it as cheating.

He's afraid of spending money and still failing. He's spent too much time hiding behind excuses and now he's scared of being decisive and putting his money where his mouth is. That's why he's fishing around for bargains and talking about how important resale value is - because that way he can say we spent less than our rivals so THAT's why we win fuck all.

He doesn't show any conviction in the transfer market. I'm sure he's done plenty of research on Lacazette - either he's good enough for us or he's not. If he is, just spend that £10-15m extra to get him in an Arsenal shirt and to give us a chance of actually challenging for trophies. If he makes the difference and helps us win one of the big ones he will pay that back with interest. If he coughed up earlier he could have even had a full preseason with us and be ready to hit the ground running.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he is 'quite scared' of retiring, and doesn't understand how managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson have managed to cope so well with life after football.

Wenger has been in charge of the Gunners for almost 20 years, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

But the 66-year-old does not seem ready to quit quite yet, comparing his love of the sport to an 'addiction'.

'I personally believe the only way to be a manager is to spend the club's money as if it were your own because if you don't do that you're susceptible to too many mistakes,' he added.

'You make big decisions and I believe you have to act like it's your own money, like you're the owner of the club and you can identify completely with the club. Because if you don't do that I think you cannot go far.'

All very ominous.

Then, laughably...

'I’ve fought all my life for footballers to make money but when you pay them before they produce it can kill the hunger. I’m scared we now have players under 17, under 18, who make £1m a year.

When Ian Wright was earning that, he’d scored goals, he’d put his body on the line. Now, before they start, they are millionaires – a young player who has not even played.'

His comments as usualy are soul destroying and embarassing, the first part is horrible because as I suspected he has no life outside football and therefore could easily go on into his 70s (a scary thought indeed) and the 2nd part because he created this overpaying kids culture (did footballers really need fighting for, they already earnt so much more than the average person?) and now he's complaining about it, he also is the one that wrapped these kids up in cotton woll so they never had to do a hard days work in their life ironically, so is it any surprise they lack motivation and hunger?

Someone at the club should really tell him never to do another interview ever again because quite frankly he's embarassinf the club with them these days.

All those Olympians winning medals - they all thank their families for the sacrifices made. The time, the money, the effort. Can you imagine Wenger as a coach? No, we can't go to the pool to practice - petrol is too expensive. Use the bath. I have a feeling his Olympians would be as successful as his football teams.

Big shout out to Serge Gnabry, who's been on fire and the stand-out performer so far at the Olympics. Good on the lad!

That Ty bloke supports Arsene Wenger, not Arsenal.

Terrible news for those thinking we would never buy a CB.

We should be celebrating because L'Goat has done half of the bare minimum required this window?

This is how he does it. He takes the basic position of absolute negligence and then steps back a little and calls it progress. We MIGHT sign a CB in response to the latest injury. That will all depend on us offering what Valencia want, of course. No guarantees there. But even if we do, this guy will be rushing in at the last minute in the hope he can rapidly get up to speed and do a job for us. And the one player we have desperately needed for years, the striker, no sign at all. We just won't spend what's required. It's negligence. The bloke should have been sacked 5 times over. But here we go again, another season of his bullshit coming up.
