Improvement, but we will still have Arteta as manager so 2 steps forward and 2 steps back!

Evidently Arteta wants Sterling and Mahrez. Because he learned nothing from Willian.

He wants to buy a whole new squad, he’s learnt to be a chequebook manager from Pep, problem is he’s a chequebook assistant so can’t even get the best out of the chequebook signings.

You got that spot on, he is a walking nightmare and the team/club is paying the price.

Buying players on the downward trajectory, he will kill all our youngsters I am certain of it

A bit concerned we aren't being heavily linked to anyone yet. Usually by now we have at least one player that has serious rumours confirmed by the more reliable twitter accounts. I thought after the January clearout we might make signings early (before the Euros). I hope it isn't going to be another summer of waiting for the scraps late on!

The only reason and I mean the only reason players will want to come to us is for the money cos they know they are going to win Fook all.

I think transfer activities will heat up after Euros, since people will be watching who does well, who flops and who gets injured.

Maybe we should start with the south American market to unearth any hidden talents.

It's weird.

Even in a Euro/World Cup summer, there's usually noise from the media.

The Athletic reported that Ødegaard was our number one target. That's a bit underwhelming to say the least.

Joining Arsenal is a risk these days. So, unless we recruit from the premier league or the championship, or overpay for players, I really can't see how top players would want to join during such a vulnerable period.

About 5 years too late for Mahrez, the guy is now 30, it’s a waste of resources signing him now.

Pep must be trying to get his disciple to buy all his rejects so that he doesn’t have to find another buyer, maybe that’s why he doesn’t think Arteta should be sacked!

Don’t be, we’re making huge losses, we’ll only spend money from player sales, the Kroenkes aren’t putting any other money in, don’t expect a big summer.

We were never getting Odergaard, even if we were trying to it would be massively underwhelming as the guy hasn’t really been that great.

If Real don’t want to sell we won’t get him anyway and no way is he worth 40-50 million, plus we don’t have that money with the losses we’re making.

We’ve mainly been linked with free transfers and cheap buys thanks to Artetas disastrous season our income is even smaller next season.
