TAFKAC Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I really, really, really don't think it would be overselling it to say Arsenal were "absolutely stinking". Liverpool were good and the commentators touched on it but Liverpool seem to play in the image of Klopp, which is a good thing, but Arsenal seem to be going backwards.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted August 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's not even funny anymore. Arsenal are the Aston Villa of the top end of the table. They couldn't even FINALLY, FINALLY, BY GOD, FINALLY crash out the top four in an interesting manner last year. I don't think I can handle at least two more years of this.

Mr_Danger Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Arsene Wenger is such a shit manager now. He's fucking lost it. I look at both those pools of players today and if you swapped managers you'd be looking at the same score for opposite teams. If you gave Klopp a midfield of Xhaka, Ramsey and AOC and a forward line of Ozil, Sanchez and Lacazette he'd storm the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually beyond frustrating, perhaps primarily because so much of the media immediately gets taken up with the whole thing and cretins like the Arsenal Fan TV "banter brigade" continue to rise to prominence.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't know what the fuck will happen this week, but a scenario similar to the final few days of the 2011 transfer window (following THAT 8-2 result) wouldn't surprise me. Sanchez could still move, Ox probably will (I'll drive him to wherever he wants), quite a few fringe players will either be sold or panic loaned out (Gibbs, Lucas), Mustafi will likely complete his move to Inter and our squad will be considerably weaker than this time last year. We need to go out and just throw ridiculous money around. We need better players, we need to replace seemingly outgoing players and we need a big lift at the club. We need more than that too - new manager and senior management structure - but there's more chance of Mbappe cancelling his move to PSG because he's 'anyways wanted to work with Wenger'. Oh, and we need to find Mesut Ozil a pair of bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yeah, I did actually message an Arsenal supporting mate to ask who the 2017 equivalent of Mikel Arteta is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted August 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 The fact Bellerina hasn't been bullied into retirement over his hair by his teammates is the clearest sign that the dressing room has gone too soft, even by Arsenal's standards.

AdamTH17 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We've put in a bid for Lemar from Monaco, supposedly in the region of 55 million or thereabouts. Can anyone who's seen him play offer a bit of insight? I've heard of him for sure, but haven't seen particularly much. Would rather us be chucking money at any decent defenders to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 This is hilarious. First they smash us 4-0, then Liverpool make a bid to sign a big transfer target of ours who Wenger claimed the other day wasn't possible to sign. If Liverpool sign Lemar, what an even bigger joke we'd look. If Liverpool are trying to sign him then perhaps they've agreed to sell Coutinho. That'd be two £100m+ signings by Barca in the space of a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Liverpool have signed Naby Keita who will join next season. Sounds that Lemar might actually happen with Origi going the opposite way. Right about now its 50/50 but if there's any justice we'll sign him and make Coutinho earn his place before going next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted August 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 Chelsea agreed a fee off around 35M for Ox. Seems we are underway into one off the most hectic final few days off the window.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted August 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 What do Arsenal/Chelsea fans think of that transfer? I think he's less likely to play for Chelsea than for Arsenal. From what I've seen of him I'm not sure who in their team he would put out of a starting spot. However I'm sure some of the Arsenal and Chelsea fans could offer some much better perspective on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been decent in that position but nothing to get too carried away about and I don't see him as an improvement on Moses tbh. He's been dreadful so far this season.You're right in that it's probably his best position, although he'd disagree. He's not a good centre mid at all, doesn't have the end product to be an effective winger either. I've spent 7 years trying to work out where his best position is and what he actually brings to the table. The most frustrating thing about him is how often he gives the ball away, his retention is really poor. I can't understand why Chelsea are interested at all. Drinkwater makes sense, as he's actually a solid player that does his job. Ox though, I don't know. I don't see him making an impact there. I don't think he'll be missed, although we surely need a replacement given how many games he played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
