Didnt ManU also want Tel on loan? Bayern seems to be hoping for a late Villa bid once we sign Watkins... (hehe).

Why are Bayern so desperate to get rid of Tel? Surely, he has enough potential to not be averse to him returning and having another crack at it if we don't exercise the option?
Tel looks a bit Gervinho-ish... 
Tel to Spurs sounds like it's on. Good stuff then, never really liked the sound of him anyway, eh?
Burnwinter be worth it when he scores the winner at Anfield on the 26th April.
Couldn’t wait till later- so caught up with the news.
Looks like we won’t sign anyone? If so we have a bunch of unambitious useless cunts. I will laugh if Kai gets injured. And Tel to Tottenham on a loan? We should have nabbed him.
We are an inch from being a great team but keep shooting ourselves in the foot.
Artera is also full of shit - playing a PR game.
RocktheCasbah title could be over by then when we don’t have a proper striker to put the ball in the fucking net
Fuming
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Oh well. Tomorrow's another day and all that.

Window isn't closed yet, you can either be half glass full or empty about this. Why have we let Tel go and join Spurs? Is it just pure incompetence and we've let him slip or is there something else....
RocktheCasbah I knew this feel good factor beating City and wouldn’t last as we have a bunch of incompetent twats.
How hard is it to sign one single fucking player to help a depleted squad? How much arrogance must you have that you turn you nose on someone like Tel?
JazzG nah I’m done mate. Seen this story before, not wasting my time further. Will boycott Newcastle game. See you guys when we next play CL. Fuck these cunts.

If Arsenal football club deliver Nico Williams today I better not see you on the forums later on 
But yeah looks like nobody coming in, is what it is. The club will need to deal with the fallout if we get further injuries down the line
I'm going to start a GoFundMe for Sicario's expectation management training.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 We beat City 5-1 without Saka and you're done because the club won't make panic buys at the end of the window? Come on man. This isn't FIFA. We clearly are thin at striker and in a perfect world, we would bring someone in. But it's naive to think that it's just up to Arsenal to determine that. There are three parties in every transfer and our fanbase always assumes its us that is the weak link. 19 of 20 teams in the EPL would trade places with us in a heartbeat with a nearly complete squad and young teenage future stars coming up and grabbing headlines in big matches. Count me out of the chicken little headloss over transfers.
(Still hope we bring someone in- but it won't affect how much I love watching this team game to game for the remainder of the season)
Sicario2 - Tier 1 we have a bunch of incompetent twats.
ah yes, the very same incompetent twats who have turned around a shell of a football club to have us consistently competing for honours at the top end of the game...
If you genuinely think Mikel Arteta doesn't want someone in before the end of this window, you haven't been paying attention to him.

The argument that we'd likely sign a player who wouldn't displace or significantly upgrade the likes of Havertz, Martinelli and Trossard holds water. That's basically what Tel is and it might be what Nico Williams turned out to be in England as well.
Not saying I'd turn my nose up at either, I'd be excited to see these types of players in our shirt but it'd be a wager not a sure thing.
Watkins coming off the bench would be a better wager, but £80m is just too fucking expensive for a 29 year old former journeyman when we're already 6–9 points off the league pace.
To be clear, I really hope we get a shot in the arm type signing announced, I just don't think it would transform our fortunes quite the way some think. For that we need a unicorn.
