2020 Transfer Deadline Day

[MD3 Gunner]

I think maybe it was all too much for us to achieve this summer, clearing out so much deadwood on high wages, the inactive market and of course many **** ups along the way from the guys leading us.

Arteta, Edu and Vinai are all new and inexperienced in their roles so maybe they will learn quickly for next summer.

Edu needs to piss off no way coming back form this

Funny Sokratis Mustafi still Arsenal players we still have 8 CB's around. What is this BS

Not really funny when you think about it. They're both sh*t and on massive money, like the vast majority of our players. No wonder no one is touching them.

 

[balthazar]

Why did Ivan leave? We are the new AC Milan anyway

 

[Sammy1887]

A midfield trio of Xhaka-Jorginho-Elneny in a 4-3-3 is mouth watering.

 

[Camron]

Mods can we close all other threads and just concentrate on this one. Collective misery should only be applicable in one thread.

@American_Gooner @yousif_arsenal @blaze_of_glory

Yeah, that also makes it easier for rival fans to copy for their meltdown threads.

Some of those sideways passes are going to be beautiful

Nah **** that. They’ve targeted two players who won’t be there for us next summer so it’s been a pointless chase if they come away with neither of them now. Next summer it will be completely different targets (Aouar will get a bigger move and they won’t spend £45m on Partey at 28 years old), targets we probably could’ve signed this summer. They were too fixated on Partey and Aouar. They could’ve signed van de Beek with the money they offered for Aouar. That’s one example.

I agree with you man. I’m just looking at in the context of what any well run business (particularly publicly listed) would do. But it’s pointless looking at it in that context as football at the top level isn’t a well run business anywhere.

Because he created this mess we still struggling to get rid of the players he signed or giving big contract

Negligence! Bring in the auditors

 

[Finesse]

Arteta : " Believe me that the ownership, the board, myself, are doing everything we can to maximise the resources we have to improve the team and to sustain and keep the players that are in this club to make this club successful. "

Arteta has bought into the club's financial stance. We are the only club to have opted for wage reductions, laid of staff and even a mascot. Arteta led the line with the wage reductions discussions withe the players. We are yet to fully understand the extent of how covid has impacted our finances. When Arteta speaks about 100% backing it is of course based on what the club has available. All hopes were banked on player sales and we have failed woefully in that department.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

James still going with this?

 

[ChefMan21]

When you see Bentancur mentioned in the thread and spend 10 minutes trying to find an actual link...

 

[lamby22]

RIP Gunna. U wiv da angles now.

“possible alternative” doesn’t really say a lot. There could’ve been ****ing loads of possible alternatives.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If the club was depending on sales to sign players then they f**k up massively im glad most of them going on frew next summer so we won't be talking about them.

Didn't you read the memo ? Arsenal only looking for top top top quality mate.

 

[Jasard]

Imagine timing the firing of Gunnersaurus as we make a profit on deadline day

 

[drippin]

Willock played 1300 minutes, AMN played 1500 and Saka played 2200. There's room there to play more minutes, but not enough room to cover everything. You probably still need another body, and we're not even talking about quality here.

Can't believe no one has suggested David Luiz for DCM role. This is why we still have 8 CB's.

Just beautiful, who needs new signings when you have internal solutions & LANS Elneny!

Well maybe Lemar on loan so AMN can be another midfielder, and give those easy passes straight to opponents.

 

[SA Gunner]

As it stands... the club ****ed up this transfer window in the end, sadly.

Partey and Auoar shouldnt have been the only options available... and now it looks like we may end up with nothing at all.

The board, Edu and Arteta have failed and put our chances of a top four finish at risk, there is no running away from that. Furthermore its the same behaviour being repeated once again, where we are left short in areas that desperately need filling.

The club is its own worst enemy... and we'll continue to lavish in mediocrity for as long as our current leadership structures are in place.

They tried to sign Aouar so we know they can bring in someone for €40m without sales.
