Raul Sanllehi has left Arsenal

[Tourbillion]

Two bums.

 

[<<reed>>]

I miss Ivan Gazidis.

Time for people to admit the last two summer windows were really poor.. These 'fantastic summer transfers' claims just doesn't add up with reality..

A 3rd poor summer window in a row and Raul & co's heads should roll, but that would require us to act like a proper top club.

Sarr, Fekir, Perisic and Upamecano could have all been gettable for our actual transfer outlay. That would’ve improved us massively and wouldn’t have left us with multiple fires to put out this window.

Sarr and Fekir alone would have been cheaper than Pepe, who’s been outperformed by Sarr this year tbh.

Reckon my worst post on here is last summer after the window when I asked for Raul to get a new contract.

We’ve not had a good window since Alexis signed in 2014 probably, and he was the only one who worked out from that spree.

I'm sure glad we outsmarted the market, look at those lads in Chelsea getting those bums Ziyech and Werner *sobs

Top post. I got trashed on here for suggesting our window was terrible. Something about being short sighted for not knowing that a winger would improve our defence.

But then again I'm used to being told my views on squad cost and 'we'll only go down hill if you get rid of Wenger' were rubbish.

I still don’t think a winger was a mistake as it was a position of need with Iwobi and in theory a defence should be the easiest part of a team to coach.

However the problem was spending 97M on a winger and a teenage CB who won’t join until next season. We needed a winger, a CB and a creative midfielder last summer but bought in just one for this season.

So we ended up with a flop winger (so far), a panic buy of Kia’s client and no midfielder.

I liked Sarr as a cheaper winger, buying him for almost 50M less would have let us bring in Upamecano and had money left over for Fekir.

The club has let Jorge Mendes, Kia and Raiola put themselves into the recruiting process of the club and instead of finding value we’ve actually got worse.

@American_Gooner Can we add Edu to the thread title and call it the three amigos?

Imagine how much the MAFIA crew bully Vinai in private, disgraceful scenes I bet.

Can see even see Özil bullying him like MJ and Pipen bullied Jerry Krause for being short.

Dont set G deep off

It should be Kia, not Edu in the title imo.

@American_Gooner

Edu is enabling all this rubbish though isn't he? As Technical Director.

Their star signing has been overtaken by three kids.

Very true, but my take in the summer was that we had Saka and Nelson in reserve, both of whom, at the risk of upsetting @hydrofluoric acid, are not bad players.

All that money should have gone on the defence/DM . . no loan players that are just passing through and no ageing rejects from our rivals.

And we desperately needed to work hard at offloading some dross.

Would love to be a fly on the wall when that issue brought up.

The deal seems to have really not been picked up much by the press either. 70m ffs & the last manager already said he had other targets... Raul should be on thin ice.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

So it was bad transfer windows?

 

[kraphtous]

I don‘t get how he is not on more pressure from the club, he is doing a worse job than Gazidis.

I guess this is what happens with negligent owners. I had hoped that Josh would be more interested, oh well.

Yeah you're probably right, don't know how much influence he actually has though...plus he is an Invincible, so I have fond memories of him I guess.
