11 days until the season and 1 player bought who will go straight into the first team.
Fucking shambles. Slap in the face as well to say deals happen on the last week of the season, yes it’s true that it happens, but come on. A whole summer to prepare and seek targets to be ready for the start of the season and this is what we get.
Wenger smirked the other day so get ready for a big haul of young, overpaid English players to come in.
I’ve been looking at the striker signings as a bit of a foresight into Wenger’s future.
With Higuain he could have had the RVP effect that Fergie produced in his final year, to a lesser extent the same could be said of Vardy - as Shamrock said ‘game changer’ but probably only for one year max. That type of signing gives the impression that perhaps he would be willing to move on after this season and take up NT job.
With Griezmann you’re looking at a project, and when combined with Alexis and Ozil it’s an extremely ambitious one at that, maybe the greatest attacking players we’ve had since the Invincibles.Should Wenger land his white whale it would surely mean an extension is on the cards and furthermore I think a lot of fans - myself included - would be willing to give him more time. Sure his tactics are a bit iffy at the best of times but his inactivity in the transfer market with the resources we have has always been my biggest hang up.
Lacazette is probably the most likely scenario and the most underwhelming, I really fail to see how this does Wenger or the fans much good, it’s essentially a more clinical Welbeck pedigree of signing and doesn’t really affect the status quo - which off course isn’t a good thing as the atmosphere will stay toxic and the question marks over his future will still be there unless Lac comes in and hits 20 plus league goals in his first season which is honestly asking a lot and I fail to see how he expands our ambition in Europe.
Obviously you can never second guess Wenger and it’s infuriating to even try but if he genuinely wants to remain at Arsenal and rebuild his somewhat tarnished legacy paying 80 million for Griezmann could in some ways be more benifitial to Wenger than it would be to us the fans.
Wow, Castiel…4 whole paragraphs.
Nice.
Thanks little buddy.
Zero chance of Griezmann imho… Atletico have better chance of winning their league and the CL than Arsenal do and have shown to be very clever on the transfer market and have Simeone, who Antoine loves I believe. The price will be truly insane and while I would love, love, love him at Arsenal, we should have got him a couple of years ago.
Actually your right but I took it from our own website which like everything else Arsenal comes with some flannel,hype,and a splash of pomposity !
That’s very much a recurring thought amongst Arsenal fans for quite some time now.
Man, he did kill it with Graham’s defense and Rioch’s signing of DB10, didn’t he?
how many of the defenders that went the whole season undefeated did George Graham sign?
So, if I am reading this right, you are saying that we should be happy with us continuing to finish in the top 4, season after season, year after year because we could be much worse without Arsene in charge.
Here is what I am saying, if he signs a few players in the areas that we lack, and have lacked for some seasons now, maybe there would be more red dots on the top most line there. Hell, we have tried doing it without making the signings for a few seasons now and it hasn’t worked, why not sign a few players and see how that goes.
But I suppose saying anything against the man immediately means we don’t appreciate what he has done and that we need to be reminded of where we were before him.
Am sorry but you might be pleased with 4th or 3rd or 2nd, but I want us to be number 1, year after year, decade after decade. It’s not realistically possible but I think expecting us to win it once in a decade isn’t too ambitious, especially given our resources and our manager’s past achievements, wouldn’t you say?
The chart doesn’t show how we blew it up and Leicester won it last season
The chart doesn’t show how stall and static our game play these few years after RVP’s gone
The chart doesn’t show how we got stuck in total points and total goals scored
Thanks for the memory, we have reached the plateau and Wenger has reached his limit.
Time to say goodbye.
Well I didn’t actually right anything so I don’t know what your reading, I just saw the pic on Twitter and thought I’d post it here because it’s relevant and I like it,
Your talking as if I don’t want us to sign players because I still apriciate our manager
You say if you say anything against him you’ll be accused of not approcating him but I post one complementary pic without even commenting and you seem offended?
If you look at the chart the closest we’ve ever been to having year in year out decade after decade success has been in the last 20 years
Don’t pretend like you don’t have a Wenger Fundamentalist agenda. I just printed that out and wiped my ass with it because it doesn’t mean shit.
Was it jens Lehman or kolo toure George Graham signed?
^
That chart clearly shows that without Wenger, Arsenal would have been just like Aston Villa, Newcastle, Everton, West Ham; not the Big club we are now.
No it doesn’t.
Now you’re just trolling.
