That wont get rid of Wenger, it'll just shift the blame away from him.

We will probably bring in close to £100m worth in transfer fees this week if Mustafi, Ox, Gibbs and Lucas leave and not sign a single player, at board level champagne is already on ice.

First time we would've actually benefited from this inflation

And again calls into question why in fucks name he was even in the squad against pool

Dean saying Mustafi is going out on loan, what the fuck is this club doing 😆

Amazing if true. Truly fucking bonkers.

Complete and utter madness 😆

Lmao the irony is that the only guy who wants to sign a new contract at this dire club is the manager.

Loan 😆 What is he, five? Just tell Inter to hand over Perisic as payment or bugger off. If they want a player of ours they have to give us one in exchange. That's the only way to do transfer business at this stage.

Wenger could be genuinely mentally ill.

I don't know what explains this transfer window from us on the back of last season.

Dortmund want Ozil now too.

Something extraordinary is going on behind the scenes.  Either a player revolt, or Wenger is trying send members of the board a message

Wenger's got us refreshing transfer websites again!

Absolutely extraordinary, what is going on?

This week will be the worst in recent Arsenal history, it seems too ridiculous to be true.

Even Spurs fans would struggle to dismantle the club like this.

How does it even come to this? How did the club let this happen?

Anything around 50M should do it. Glad to be rid.

Can someone just transfer me out as well?

Just sell everyone 😆

Play Nelson.

The clubs tried but theres zero interest.

This I would be completely on board with. We should restrict our transfer policy to 21 and below only.

Just seen the Özil to Dortmund rumours.

Ridiculous if true, but honestly I'd take any amount over what we paid for him like a shot. Season's gone anyway, two losses in three is a disastrous start.

Thinking of starting a thread titled "We Suck" …

Anyone reputable running that story?

There we go


40m good money.

Re: Ozil

Yeah, I mean I'm not convinced he fits into our team. For all his output, he goes missing far too often, doesn't put in a defensive shift and ultimately doesn't have the personality to drag is through games when we need him. Arguably, we sacrifice too much by playing him and it might be good to rebuild how we structure the team without him.

It's great business. Now take that money and put it into a Griezmann, Manolas and Jorginho fund.

If it's 40m for Chamberlain, great.

If he's any good at Chelsea at this point, he'll have done well for himself and proved we're shit at using players to their potential.

We're not going to reinvest that budget, let alone reinvest it wisely. 

I hear Kalou is available...

I think it's less black and white with Chamberlain, who's been steadily improving throughout the last 18 months or so. The question was always if he could get over the injuries that held him back, not whether he was any good to begin with.

For all his improvement over the last 18 months though, does anyone actually feel like he's set the world alight?

No.

I have a feeling he's going to do better under Conte. He's the type of player that needs to be more controlled and disciplined to get the best out of him.  

Can't believe he played this weekend, idiotic.

If you've accepted that you're selling him there's no reason to risk him and I'm sure the team knew he was on his way out. Why the fuck wouldn't you play Bellerin at RWB and Kolasanic (or Monreal) at LWB?

We need to hijack Spur's Aurier deal ASAP.

I am worried that this activity reflects a fear about the ownership that I've had for a while. With the increase in relative revenue of the Premier League TV money as opposed to the CL money, top 4 becomes less important. In the past it was more important, financially, to participate in the CL, at least in the short term, than it is now. Furthermore, this has also inflated the transfer market for all clubs, particularly towards the top end. If Kroenke is all about that cash, then finishing 6th-17th with a low net spent is much more attractive than fourth with a high net spend, and much more so than what was the case before the latest PL TV deal.

I just don't know if I can see Wenger signing on for that kind of strategy. I hope not.

(Thank you.)

No, but I think it's mostly a matter of time until he has a proper breakout season if he keeps it up. The longer he keeps going without a serious injury interruption the more he'll improve.

We're officially in net profit for the transfer window!! The party at the Kroenke and Wenger households is probably in full swing

Agreed. He's a power player who knows how to dribble. Conte has built top class footballers out of much less in the past.
