Consistent transfer window failings

[BBF]

I think we're finally on track now with Mislintat and the Barca guy, **** Law was a huge problem it seems.

Probably Steve Rowley. Not quite sure on what he did towards the end. I'm not sure I'd trust this fatty to judge football players anyway.

You know what the problem is? You have four fans and five opinions.

There seem to be few issues on which there is anywhere near unanimity. The main thing I agree with OP is that David Dein was never replaced but then that goes to the heart of the ownership of the club which, in my view, is the main problem we have. Everything else stems from that.

Lacazette is being given plenty of time, he is often subbed, but after being given an hour or 70 minutes, This is not to say he might still not make it but if this time next year we're still talking in these terms it will be loss-cutting time.

Our transfer dealings are weak, but many of those reasons listed by OP are just hyperbolic stuff

 

[Mark Tobias]

With Sven involved I expect we'll see vast improvements here. Not worried.

Give credit where credit is due. If the reported 12mil fee we got for Coq is true, we did well in this instance.

Now use that money wisely and get a quality player.

Mustafi/Gabriel has been missed from players in the last few years as well. Jury is out on mustafi still in my opinion.

 

[Camus]

Gabriel was signed based on some statistical analytics software. He didn't cost that much so I assume he was an experiment to see what results an approach like that could yield.

Mustafi was signed out desperation in my opinion. We'd just signed Holding and Wenger was happy with the CBs we already had, given how he's used Holding since he clearly has and always had a lot of faith in him. Mustafi was signed because at the moment Mert, Kos and Gabriel were all out injured and they basically caved into fan pressure. Doesn't look like Wenger was ever knee on him.

He just scouts players. You still need deal closers, that’s where we’ve been mugged off for years.

 

[KROENKE SUCKS]

Gazidis is also the boardroom link with majority shareholder Stan Kroenke, who ultimately decides whether the deal can happen.

Stan Kroenke - Majority shareholder

As above, any deal that goes through at Arsenal needs to get the green light from the club’s majority shareholder over in America.

So if Stan isn't the absent owner we've all been led to believe he is.

And that is stupid, he is a proper player

he would look much better obviously in a better set up team
german national, 2 league experience etc etc
