Heard any rumours? This is the place to discuss potential transfer targets.

The truth of the matter is in my opinion that we will never win the league as Kroenke cares more about profit and his American teams than this one. The fact that he has yet to attend a game this season and donated to Trumps campaign is proof of this.

People have stated that if Emery improves things like Klopp did that the board and Kroenke will back him...nothing can be further from the truth. First of all Liverpool is owned by Fenway Sports Group a company which owns the Boston Red Sox which is a team that has won major honours so they know what it means to win and they crave it.

None of Kroenke’s teams have one anything ever while he had been in charge so I’m afraid we are going to be subject to being a top 6 side for a long long time to come. This maybe a pessimistic view but my opinion is that a view that sees us win the league under Kroenke’s ownership is an incredibly naive way of thinking.

Ya rams are winning they are in a big market rn. American sports are different you cant buy your way to being good you have to make trades in football you need an owner who wants to invest in American sports it helps being in a big market warm city more then owner.

Could be in FFP trouble if Kroenke jumped in and dropped £100m in one window

And knowing UEFA we’d be the first team to get actually punished for it

Looks Fabregas is leaving Chelsea. I'd have him back at Arsenal.

In descending order of importance and urgency:

1) a centre-back
2) another centre-back
3) a proper winger
4) a left-back
5) a replacement for Ramsey
6) a goalkeeper

1-3 are what we really need in January, 4-6 can probably wait until the summer. Not expecting anything other than a Cahill-esque signing this month though.

There are ways to work around it if we'd wish. It's just than Stanley man ain't interested in Arsenal winning anything.

And you should have see how he did it...moved the team from St Louis under such acrimonious and quite frankly evil circumstances...didn't pay back the people who bought season tickets. Probably used Arsenal money to fund some of building the rams up and even though there is no proof as a businessman myself I can tell you that there are ways to move money from one company to the other without public knowledge.

Lets face it he knows the fans are the backbone at Arsenal and will question everything he does....that is why he was so obsessed with getting 100% control as now there won't be any AGM's for people to question his motives and the way the club is being run....Arsenal as a football club with a history of winning the league and competing in Europe ended when Stan Kroenke became the owner of the club.

Everton interested in Malcom according to Marca.

He fits our needs, a quick dribbling winger probably available on loan.
I will be pissed, if they got him ahead of us
