Utterly disgusted by these news.

Same, and I kinda blame Emery for it. Fucking can't win at least 1 home game against some bloody shit teams to qualify for UCL and knock Spurs out of it. How the fuck.

And now after signing one of Europe's best CM who beasted teams like Citeh's midfield and also finalizing the loan for Ceballos, while we struggle to sign a player from Scottish league. All these while they just complete their new stadium move on the back of a UCL final. So bloody depressing times.

We are like wallflowers at the big dance.

Need to get Kroenke to sell up.

This is why more than ever we need a great coach to give us an advantage. I wish I could say otherwise but I really don't see it in Emery.

Chin up lads - if we get Saliba, Tierney and Zaha we’ll have seen a bigger net improvement on the squad than any of the other top four rivals

Even if Saliba don't go back on loan, we minimally still need one more good CB and another good CM to compete. 

I actually find United's transfer plans this year pretty interesting. They are signing ready made british talents to complement their squad. There was a lot of noise about how the players ain't giving their all so they have gone local to do it. James, Maguire, Longstaff, Wan Bissaka. All very good players that might actually give them the tenacity they need compared to lazy Pogbas

Zero rumours about us wanting to replace Xhaka this summer too. He'll enter his 4th season and probably pick up a loyalty bonus along the way. Will probably be our new captain too with Ramsey and Cech and seemingly Kos gone, and Özil in open war with Emery. The only other real candidate is Sokratis.

The disparity between our midfield and theirs. Fucking hell.

Basically following the Fergie template. I'm not convinced by it at all though, the game has moved on from then. They're basically spending £160m on those guys to turn themselves into Tottenham. They just need to sell Pogba now and replace him with Dier and their transformation into near permanent mediocrity will be complete.

We’re on the same page.

There's not one player in our entire squad I wouldn't sell to fund for Ndombele. 

Didn't like it when Xhaka chases shadows while Sissoko and Wanyama just easily barge him aside and now they add another athletic physical but baller midfielder

Well he's signed for Spurs now so he's on the bad list.

I’m shaken and stirred. Would a single one of our midfielders start at Spurs right now?

Guingamp reject.

I'm disgusted. Well and truly. Fucking raging actually.

Absolutely not.

This has been a simply farcical period for Arsenal Football Club.

To think that we all knew how vital getting top 4 was, and then with 6 games to go, no games left against the top 6, we were third, it simply beggars belief.

A disaster of a final against Chelsea which could have redeemed our season.

Then, after all the disappointment, it have at least served a purpose if we really pushed ourselves to change the structure of our squad.

Instead we have not moved a single player on, with 5 weeks left in the transfer window.

Fucking about with Crystal Palace and Celtic.

Really, really frustrating times.

Spurs are massively overrated. They finished a point ahead of us. Ndombles had a great season but he wont turn them into title contenders as some are suggesting. Whats more if he does reach the heights some here think he might he'll be gone in 2 years time.

Qwiss is correct, but this has been a hugely frustrating few weeks.

Hope he tears an ACL or two tbf. Can't play with my heart like that

Really don't care what Spurs or any other rival does, United are still grossly overspending on no game changers and Chelsea are utterly fucked. Our real problem is we don't seem to have our personnel to set our plans let alone any plans themselves in mind

This is what is truly annoying. Both United and Chelsea are screwed right now and we don’t seem intent to capitalize. I wish Kroenke would be forced to sell to focus on Los Angeles.

That's definitely not the case Dules. Guy is a monster physically with the dribbling and close control of Cazorla. This is probably one of the only signings ever made by Spurs that I'm gutted by. Would have transformed our midfield and for only 55m. We fucked up both in our lack of intent and also in our inability to secure CL which probably meant any attempts would be futile as he wouldn't come here.

Gotta say I agree with Dula. He's a good prospect but the extent to which he's overrated on this forum is insane.

I don't think he's even as good as someone like Fabian Ruiz, for example. I sense people would not be threatening to jump off of buildings if someone signed Fabian Ruiz.
