Tel getting Levy to fly out to Munich to tell him no to his face

Ok. Fun times.
We only have a couple of days to go. Who could we realistically sign that would make you content with this window?
I've started to make peace with the idea we ain't getting anyone. Obviously, not telling anyone else what to do, but maybe we should start sharing coping strategies.
Nathan Butler-Oyedeji. Remember the name

Another one bites the dust
Looks like it’s Watkins or bust.
Or Rashy
lorddulaarsenal please stop with this. No one else wants Rashford!
Not saying I want him
Just wouldn’t be shocked
lorddulaarsenal the concept of the player makes sense.what remains of him doesn’t

Rashford on a straight loan might be better than no-one to be honest. We just need a body.
He is still a name and he will still make opposition managers think and you would hope he has a massive point to prove so the motivation should be there. Also got a good CL goal scoring record.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 we have reached 2 domestic loan maximum.

samthegooner but that's just it, our historical spending is a problem. People act like we've spent so much money, but we really haven't at all. Fuck ups like Pepe happen to every big club, but when Arsenal make one little mistake, we can never sign a winger ever again. It's all a lie. We can spend, we just don't. We can afford to make mistakes, we can afford to take chances, but we don't. It's a lack of ambition.
The fact that 60m sounds expensive to us is part of the problem. If Mbeumo goes to Newcastle and we get nobody, then we've officially chucked it. They already have my Isak for fuck's sake!

Coombs disagree. we seem to have memory holed the significant write-off and subsequent spending program the kroenkes signed off on. in phase 1 we paid alot of guys to fuck off, some of which was very costly in the form of pepe, aubameyang and ozil.
id argue our main problem isnt a lack of ambitious spending, its a lack of efficient spending. the kroenkes have done their bit. if they're deciding to tighten up and demand a bit more bang for their buck, Id be reticent about to throw stones at them about that decision. people might argue they're pulling up stumps when we're right on the cusp of winning, but on the flipside you can argue that they've put in more than enough to turn around say 'we've acquiesced to everything youve asked for over 4 years - now go out and make it happen'

fab and orny playing different tunes this window. this makes it sounds like he's knocked spurs back in the hope someone else will come in. if we showed serious interest I'm sure it's a deal we could do, but he may not be a high priority target for us
I’m sure we will get some BS PR in the next few days when we don’t sign anyone like this time last year:
Sicario2 - Tier 1 problem is if you choose to view player transfers as a shopping dash at Louis Vuitton, then it’s easy to be cynical and the club’s ambition and intent.
I fully understood what Arteta said when he said there are 3 parties and they all need to be aligned. And the stuff you really want usually takes time. See how drawn out it’s been to get Raya, Zubimendi, Ode, Rice and others. They all eventually got here after a very drawn out courtship process. It’s not just about what Arsenal want. If all 3 parties don’t love the deal in that moment, you’re fucked.
It’s easy for someone to like the Marmoush deal despite @jones saying he’s going nowhere. City desperately need a forward after failed signings and Alvarez sale. They gave a barely proven player a £14.5m salary. And they gave the team £60m.
