Gabriel's gone, sell/ loan Chambers and bid big for Van Dijk.

A back three of Mustafi, Kos and VVD would be the best in the league (besides maybe Spurs' defence).

That's the dream, the reality is we have Chambers and 'Elneny can play there too'!

honest question....why would he come here? If we have a bid accepted, chelsea and liverpool can match it easily. Why choose us over them?

It f***ing won't. Well sell mustafi and fall back on chambers.

I wouldn't even be surprised if we fell back on a profit at the end of this window. Only 1 or 2 players to sell before we are there.

We won't sell mustafi and the club will act like keeping him is a big deal - forgetting we haven't replaced Gabriel!

Never seen you this negative, mate.

As PG said we probably won't sell Mustafi anyway.

I can normally see daylight, but the club is really pissing me off now with the nonsense. We are a week away from the end of the window and we've flopped out of Lemar and look to have shut up shop.

Meanwhile, we are shifting or considering moving the wrong players, welbeck and Walcott are comfy right now but they should be at the top of the get rid list.

Players like ox and mustafi aren't as bad or even the worst players we should be shifting and that's what's pissing me off the most. You get rid or phase out the worst, replace with the best and keep doing that until it's hard to pick a weak link.

We have brought in quality but not enough for What we need. We count the likes of cazorla and Wilshere as genuine options when everyone knows they'll struggle to contribute consistently and when we need it.

All in all, I can see us standing still in 4th place this year with a good run in EL.

I'm not even stressed about losing to stoke, more pissed that we had welbeck on the pitch to score us goals and Walcott on to add threat when neither of them can do it consistently and Walcott especially against a parked bus.

I guess I was hoping for a token effort at addressing our issues for just one summer, but yet again we look like falling short.

Club is run by a bunch of yahoos. Dont do this to yourselves. Saints will keep him. Chelsea will buy next year. United are favourites this year chelsea and city will fight for 2nd. We will still be the usual "one or two excuses away".

Tbh even if we tried to get rid of someone like Walcott, we can't. Similar like with Gibbs, Debuchy, Jenkinson and others, they are all overpaid.

It's easier to get rid of players like Gabriel, Ox and Mustafi, who have more quality to offer and (still) aren't on crazy wages.

Our club has been managed into this mess by Wenger and the board.
I hate myself, when i return to be too emotionally invested in Arsenal, because I know, that it ends bad. Nobody should invest too much nerves and feelings into this great club with Wenger and Stan managing it.
It was crazy that some of us thought/hoped that Wenger will be different this year. We are destined to fail with him unfortunately. Pudpop did something, I wish I could do and left all this, until Wenger fucks off.
