i think just Sokratis.How many players had we signed before Emery was even appointed?

Guendouzi was pretty much agreed, and I think Sokratis was quite far along as well.How many players had we signed before Emery was even appointed?
Why would Edu even be needed to make a signing? Huss Fahmy and Sanllehi would be the ones in negotiation.
That’s a lie. They’ve been planning for this window for a while. Edu won’t be involved.
They are good at speaking.
They are saying what we want to hear.
In a way it sums up how unambitious the club really is. Looking down rather than up.Yep. They also said some bullsh*t like "when Arsenal knocks, it's a different knock to other clubs".
Saying that though they may still do an okay job at the club, its just that they’re puppets for Kroenke in what they say or do.
They have to do the best they can with the very limited backing
But at the same time there are reasons why we have become extra **** recently. Asset management has been poor. Ramsey, Alexis, Özil alone would have fetched £150m++ if they had money on their contract. We have let the game go by us to an extent as a club. If we can run ourselves better we can at least not be a joke of a club long term.If you look too closely at everything it's easy to think things could get better and it'll be ok. Then you stand back a bit and look at the bigger picture: the club is in obvious decline and there's nothing on the horizon that looks like reversing that decline. Nothing suggests it's going to get better.
But you can't live like that. So you go back to looking at all the small things, cos at least you can feel a bit better that way: contemplating the merits of Yannick Carrasco or Dennis Praet is much easier than contemplating the fact that none of these players are gonna take us back to where we want to be.

Ok so then I used the wrong word, but Arsenal have been using propaganda to mislead its fans for years now. That comes about because of the situation the owner pressures them into.A puppet for Kroenke would imply that Kroenke is actually involved directly in running the club and pulling the strings on these guys. I really don't think that's the case. He owns the club, but that's about it. He has no day to day involvement. The only time he's involved is when they hire the people at the very top of the totem pole (Sanllehi, Emery, etc.). You can argue whether or not he has hired the right people, but he's the farthest thing from an interfering owner. Once he's hired somebody, he lets them do their jobs -- for better or worse.

I’m not crucifying them, the way in which they behave is only a product of the environment they are in. I’m crucifying Kroenke.Arguably. But this will be the first summer window with the new executive team in charge. Let's see how they do before crucifying them.

I mentioned above that within this realm of bullshit, Sanllehi and Vinai could still do a good job with the resources they have.
If he plays to his ability, we'll have a good player on our hands. Hope Emery can get that out of him.
Missed having a fellow Belgian in our squad too.
I don’t know the details of it all but the Premier League TV rights payments are extremely even compared to other leagues. Money is being spread out more.Someone tell me under financial fair play how can Everton, Wolves and Watford have more to spend than us.
