Walcott was so underrated man.

Man has over 100 goals for our club


Losing players like Cazorla , Sagna , Ramsey, Sanchez, Sagna Welbeck, Debuachy all for free has killed us a club, that’s millions in potential transfer funds lost not to mention the players we have sold for peanuts, Podolski, Szchezny, Giroud, Perez,Campbell, Gibbs, Gnabry

Because our players look like under achieving trouble makers that's why.

If you were the manager of a club .......... would you want Mustafi, Xhaka, AMN, Elneny, Holding, Willian?

A lot were overpaid and have been rubbish or utilised badly by the manager.

We’re a club on a downward spiral and no one wants to pay for second string players from a club like us.

As someone said Liverpool got loads for Brewster and yet Balogun looks like he’ll walk for free.

We’ve got this horrible ability to re-sign up rubbish players on long term contracts (Arteta offered Mustafi a new contract, how ridiculous was that) but let out better player run down their contracts.

We never learn either, we said it wouldn’t happen again and it did with Aubameyang.

This club is so badly run from top to bottom it’s untrue.

It's just easier to fire them, and if its by mutual consent, we don't pay a penny.

Lots of clubs have players they can't get rid of.

Liverpool - Sturridge left on a free

Utd - Sanchez (contract paid off), Lingard, Lindelof, Martial, Bailly, Fred

Spurs - Danny Rose, Aurier, D Sanchez

Only trouble is we leave that until the last few months this saving very little.

We can't though, we have a contract and we're paying them so much they won't walk away and no one wants to take them on and pick up the tab.

In the end of the day whichever fkin idiot thought it'd be a good idea to put another Chelsea reject like Willian on £192k pw .......... I mean WHAT!!!!!

I'd rather pay Ozil £350k to sit at home and play Fortnite on principal alone, at least Ozil done something for the club, this fkin clown served Chelsea for years and when they knew better not to offer him a retirement Golden Parachute, we stepped in like absolute mugs.

Who fkin authorized this??

This had to be Edu, no wonder Arteta keeps trying to play him to stop Edu being humiliated.

Edu is concerning me greatly to be honest, Willian is on more than Lacazette ffs, he's the 3rd highest earner in the whole club.

Again ........... WHAT!!!!!

Xhaka, Elneny, Holding and AMN could be sold for sure! Holding and AMN would even bring a little extra being english.

Arteta has run the transfer value of our players in to the ground. By openly alienating them he has made it clear they are available for a distress sale. Immature manager.

I have been saying this for a while now.

Not only are we a poorly managed football team, we are also extremely poor business wise.

Arsenal absolutely does not understand investments, how to grow them, and how to cash out on them. Combined with poor management of the team, it is a recipe for disaster, which is why we are in the state that we are in.

We do pay a penny ... in the loss of an asset we paid good money for !

Our transfer dealings are a joke compared to the other top 6 clubs. I did some analysis a little while back, the amount we lose on players takes the piss compared to other clubs.

Arsenal have spent 515M and recouped 253M from player sales over the last 10 years, which gives us a deficit of 262M, which is the sixth highest deficit in the BPL.

That is a ridiculous amount of money for a club without a rich owner like us, things need to change and now!

Bad management - we let contracts run down and give all the power to agents and players. I personally think we've had some corruption at the club where contracts were purposely run down to facilitate moves and backhanders.
No player should go under 2 years - sell them immediately if a player won't extend when they get 2 years from the end of their contract. Don't sign anyone who won't commit to 4-5 years.

True - we'll be lucky to get 10million for Saliba and 15m for Martinelli when they leave.
Guendouzi , we'll get nothing for. Torriera we'll get nothing for.
List goes on.
