Wenger doing his bit on deadline day… Don’t get to excited… Wenger is in Rome to ref a charity game…. Oh how active of you Arsene……
Well after watching us huff and puff and fail to blow Leicester away yesterday it seems pretty obvious to everyone apart from Arsene of course that we are still a few players short of having a really good competitive team/squad.
We have a striker starting games who to be fair to him is getting tons of criticism but in all honesty he should not be playing so why is the manager not getting moaned at for picking someone who clearly at the moment isn’t good enough to lead the line for Arsenal. Why are we as usual discussing the same old things….
Would Sanogo get in the starting line up at Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool…? No he wouldn’t so why is a club of Arsenal’s stature starting with him up front…?
Why do we still not have a defensive midfielder signed up and then there’s the centre back scenario, yes the very position Arsene said would be filled if Thomas Vermaelen left…. Didn’t he know TV was leaving in May…? Why waituntil deadline day to try and replace him… Should of been done months ago.
The team yesterday lacked pace up front, we played lovely tippy tappy football in front of the Leicester defence but there was as usual very little end product.
Fans are crying out for a new striker but it seems that we have failed yet again ( so far ) to buy the defender we need and the central midfielder we have needed for years…! Wenger bought well at the start of the transfer window but will this be yet another transfer window we will look back on and think that we have failed yet again to address what we really need…?
Until 11:01pm tonight we won’t know that answer but if as it seems we get no one else in I think it’s going to be a long hard season and Arsene, after all the bravado about buying early and having funds, is going to be under a lot of pressure to deliver.
It’s a shame the board and the club are not far more pro-active in making sure the fans get the players the club should be buying when they are so quick and active to put up ticket prices and tell us how well run they are…!
Lets hope for some good news later today…… I’m not very confident…!
Good read Wath.
Totally agree re Sanogo, but he’s French so he starts!! Absolute joke and how Campbell isn’t getting the nod ahead of him beggars belief, he has more about him and he can play.
If there is a footballer inside of Sanogo, the longer he plays and plays badly, he’ll lose any confidence he may have which I suspect isn’t much.
Great start to the summer, but after that it’s gone down hill rapidly.
Will we sign 3 players today – I doubt it too….
The hammer blow…
David Ornstein @bbcsport_david 3m
Arsenal very unlikely to sign anyone before deadline. Barring late surprise & a couple of squad exits, #AFC business is done #bbcdeadlineday
Wenger being in Italy speaks volumes, what a stupid stupid thing to be doing on DD.
Unless he’s leaving everything to Ivan of course, one can only hope.
Yesterday was embarrassing, we were very very average….
nice read Wath btw 🙂
morning all.

It’s amazing how we let Vermaelen go without a replacement lined up!!! fucking amazing!
Also amazing how we will only signs players who improve the squad and they aren’t out there, yet teams with better squads than ours can find players to buy…
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Looks like the Miguel to Norwich deal is going through , that’s another £1.5 million in the bin and another squad p[layer out of the door. Centre backs Mert , Kos , Monreal at a push but he’s already subbing for Gibbs , Debuchy maybe ,but does that mean Bellerin at right back ? Chambers hopefully not getting burnt out . Sad , parlous , infathomable. Don’t know , don’t understand , baffled.
Never thought I’d say it, but Man Utd deserve to finish 4th above us.
They acted at beginning of window, in middle and a surprise early on deadline day. Time yet but any decisive action by us starting to look desperate.
I can’t even face reading today’s post – I’m too depressed and I have a feeling it would only make me feel worse.
So Thursday night football is we’re lucky next year?
I see us in a battle with Spuds and Everton for that much uncoverted 5th place! Think I’d rather do a United and get away with 7th to avoid that!
I am not confident either…My expectation for the season is slowly ebbing away. The early signings made had got my hopes high but seeing our performances and the injury list, I don’t see how we’ll compete through the marathon season. 4th place trophy will elude us this time. Wenger/Board has caused immense grief to the loyal fans around the world..unthinkable obstinacy and lack of planning.
City and Dortmund next up. Gulp.
Arsenal did not create enough chances for Sanogo to score. We don’t need any striker. Sanogo used to be a postman who delivers. currently he is a striker who does not deliver.
http://lolpundit.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/arsene-we-did-not-create-enough-wtf-we-have-50-millions-striker-sonago/
Good post, sorry meant to say, but anger building!!
How can we say we are a big club and having just 2 CBs, No DM & No CF?
dna, threadbare is the correct term
This is dire…
Are there any strikers left worth buying?
Is any DM of note on the cards?
Can we at least buy a warm body to cover defence?
I hate the last day every time. When I leave my work till the last day its always because I didnt manage my job properly. Same case leaving transfers to deadline day. Im going to run away for at least a few hours to save my sanity.
Afternoon Rico and all, good read.Miracles do happen. RvP coming back?lol
Keep the faith…
Syg are you going me as usual in the last 3 hours?
Oh go on, Jermain Defoe, im already in a spiral of depression
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein
The answer’s are obvious for 90% of Arsenal supporters to see.
Yesterday his darling French poodle failed to hit the net – again. Yet he will try, try and try to ram him down the throats of the faithful.
@Geoff on twitter said yesterday – “You’re not all fucking experts – let’s get behind the lad…”
He has a point – but Like we did with Denilson, Eboue, Almunia, Diaby etc?
A person who knows football knows what we lack.
Up top – how that useless wanker gets the nod over Podolski and Campbell is anyone’s guess. They both must be shaking their heads in disgust.
NO PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM WOULD WANT SANOGO IN THEIR FIRST ELEVEN -.NONE.
Then why are we pissing about with him.?
yesterday reminded me of the League Cup final where he played is other French Poodle Diaby instead of the person he paid a record transfer fee for and who ended up saving our season. Why?
Because he wanted to try and prove a point to everyone. STUBBORN, DELUDED
Sanogo is not the problem. Arsene Wenger is the problem.
Thank you Arsene Wenger. Where are all the Wenger buddies today? There will be some excuse that what Wenger has done is correct.
Good job Kalou’s gone!
Wenger is a joker, and a joker will he remain.
jokers never win because they don’t take things serious.

I hope we sign more small technical attacking midfielders. We don’t have enough of those.
I love 80% of Arsene Wenger, but that other 20% drives me facken berserk. The inability to accept the obvious and fix it.
Chelsea, well played in the window, players needed were bought in early, when Torres went out they struck immediately to bring in Remy. No messing about. There is no reason we couldnt have conducted our business like that too.
Falcao is 28-ish on paper. Which means Yanited or Citywill be paying £55m with NO sell-on potential and will be paying a 32 y/o striker £300+ a week. amazing.
Stan was no where hear Europe when Ozil was signed a years ago… why is he here when his Rams are not in London? hmmm
Afternoon Ts, Wath’s today.. 🙂
lol said that waaaay up Rico. We’re done. How pathetic.
Wenger would not be buying he Does not listen A 21yrs old Inexperienced striker to lead our likes#joke
Maybe Joel and Podolski don’t let Wenger chase them around the showers in their fckng speedo’s like Sanogo and Diaby do ……?
There is something fckng very unholy about all this ……..
straight post shows the frustration, but I thought people said Kroenke was at the game yesterday? if he was then he is either collecting money which he doesn’t need to be present for or he is spending some which he needs to monitor, I can’t watch mediocre football anymore I am tired
BVB forum saying Poldi and £20m from us for Reus…
incredibly, we have managed to have a reasonably successful transfer window but the great dictator has still managed to fuck it up. we’re one injury away from monreal being used as a centre half which will be disastrous as he’ll be expected to fill in for kieran gibbs at left back for most of the season because gibbs will be injured. we could have got remy for £10m but il duce dithered over that once again. never mind as we’ve got sanogo. i never expected us to get falcao so it came as now shock to me when we pulled out of that and now we’re interested in getting another attacking midfielder from italy who would make a midget look like a giant. we have needed a defensive midfielder for 10 years and a striker for at least 3 years, and what does our manager do on deadline day? go to rome for an audience with the fucking pope. i hope the pope has got all his special powers fully working because we are going to need divine intervention to get us anywhere near the premiership this year. it’s an abysmal state of affairs.
That’s the wrong mentality Ts, right now Falcao is world class. He is what Arsenal need. Sell on value? you sound like Wenger.
Oh my bad Wath…
True Nickie but that is what the hierarchy are probably thinking
If the club say – we are a big club going for the league then they should act like it.
If they can’t do that then they should at least say, we are not in the top bracket anymore due to the money men who have come in to football.
I can’t bear this pretend we’re going for the league yet don’t show it.
I understand we have to talk it up for the players etc,but come on….
I am trying to understand Wenger’s planned trip to referee a charity match in Italy on transfer deadline day. Is this what he meant when he said that he will be alert till the last minute? Or has he decided to openly show the fans how much he values them. Everybody buys but Arsenal, as if they are the most complete team are nowhere to be seen today. Pure disrespect to the fans…
Ts, with that type of mentality we won’t win anything, AW doesn’t want any player at the club who earns more than him.
https://twitter.com/craigvpower/status/506400059282714624
falcao to united, terrible terrible, terrible cant believe it.
TSGH 1:05, thats the best news Ive heard all day (Reus for podo+20m).
I dont even care if you made that up. I also dont care that it not exactly in the positions we actually need!
Southyorkshire – If we only just signed those players above, Wenger would be lynched before today. Most of those players, bar Sanchez are replacements. Still no replacement for Vermaelen, so very light at the back. Sanogo has no business being considered at all.
Yiannis says:
September 1, 2014 at 1:07 pm
Maybe he’s nipping over to seal Tevez and Pogba moving to the Emirates …… or maybe he just doesn’t want any competition for any of his “boys”
I’m with you Fred ….. I hate what’s going on ….
Falcao is a M.United player.
Everyone stop worrying we have super callum chambers he can play cd rb dm and striker!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he replaced vermalen and kallstrom=ha wenger also said he will only buy quality but quality doesnt come cheap Falcao=quality=big bucks but man u get him ffs how hard it is to improve on giroud flamini and artheta 2 positions everyone is cryin out for new players in for a very long time same story as last year not addressing the main issues
I don’t understand Wenger. We are always short as a squad and never enough quality to sustain an assault on the Premier League title let alone the CL which is what we should be doing every year. This year, there aren’t any excuses, we had money. Anyone regretting the Wenger contract extension?
If the Reus deal is true then I can’t blame Podolski for agreeing to it. To sit on the bench yesterday whilst Sanogo struggled and left the pitch welling up as he went . I would want out too. Just as I think Campbell probably would take any deal he can . most probably the Benfica rumour would have legs as well.
Me too fred, I hate it!!
This crap has been repeating itself for yrs now how this cnut keeps his job is beyond me he must have pictures of kronke abusing kids cos this is just farcicle !!
Headlines making you feel sad? Not anymore! http://babb.telegraph.co.uk/trg/
I wish I could just switch off from all this bullshit.
More and more I wish I never got in to football!! I can handle notwinning every year, that’s all part of being a fan. But I can’t bear the whole transfer stuff, it’s just too much to bear.
Thing is we will get to November have a load of injuries and suspensions and will get fucked in the ass by just about every club in the league.
We never learn…
How many injuries have we had so far?
Walcott, Gibbs, Arteta, Giroud, Koscielny, OX
Oh and 1 suspension…
And we’re 4 games in!!!!!!!
We are totally fucked
Majid Sultan @MajidS97 10m
Lest we forget Wenger REJECTED Fabregas because we had Mesut, but he plays him wide?? If we were going to do that we should have got him!
Great post Wath.. @ syg ,had the same thoughts re 1:04pm
Who said wenger can have a day.
and Alderweith to Southampton
DNS, I actually checked out Ozils pass map from yesterday and while he starts on the left, he made as many passes on the right and in the middle.
I think the three behind the main striker all interchange – in theory to make it harder to mark.
https://twitter.com/GoonerTalk/status/506416557569105920
i get the ‘rage*regarding the transfer window….still my main concern is far more important
our play is piss poor…i havent seen such poor performances from an Arsenal side in ages…and it does not come down to one single player, as a team we’re not loking good at all…
regarding the transfer window…its not rocket science really,we are NOT changing under that american weasel…its business,business,busines..and we’re only in it to bring that sick american owner some hard earned cash…and thats never ever gonna change…..
ambition…come on get over it..
https://twitter.com/BroadcastMoose/status/506416058660823040
Like this,
The mancs have announced that Boyd from hull has just signed not Falcao…….yes they do have the same hairstyle.
hernandez of to madrid
The gap between fans expectations and the club’s is gulf apart… the lies to get regular folks hard earned cash is well…criminal imo.
Maybe a bid/enquiry was made for Falcao but the usual denominator was a stumbling block…
Yanited telling the world Rojo is awaiting work permit when rumours according to those itk is that they are having issues with 3rd party ownership…
Falcao to yanited was always on the cards;the delay was only due to falcao initially expected Perez to come for him…
Still time for some surprises I hope…
Manchester United in talks to sign Radamel Falcao’s Monaco team-mate Joao Moutinho – lol
Afternoon all,
Some-one should tell Arsene we’re the fcuking charity case he should be working on today of all days, not some la de la’s in Italy or are you on a wind up wath !

SYG – re Your 1.04 post!! Fantastic! What an image that is!!
You’ve got to laugh really, what did we honestly expect? Wasn’t we fed the same bullshit last year? “money to spend” etc Wenger and the board have completely mugged the fans off
rico – you sent my previous post into the bin ;(
Spot on Micko.
I don’t think Arsene being in Italy has anything to do with deadline day.
At the end of the day it’s all done on the phone/fax anyway.
He was in Brazil when we signed Sanchez, so don’t read anything in to that people.
He will be available if and when he’s needed I’m sure.
I’ve actually gone from wanting 3 players, to just desperately hoping we get a centre back
Now we are linked with Defoe this is madness, how on earth did it come to this?
The Defoe thing was mentioned early doors Bondex …… He was offered to Arsenal but only Ian Wright wanted us to sign him …..
Not me emma 🙁
https://twitter.com/GoonerUpdates/status/506420311584436225
Wenger and his cronies have completely mugged off the fans again. Signed Alexis and got the fans expectation sky high only to bring it down low. We did not address our problematic areas(CB, CDM and striker). Another season of trying to scrab into fourth place again and we have money sitting in the vault to improve the squad. So disappointed right now 🙁
As if it’s not depressing enough today they’ve now gone and stuck that twat Phil Thompson on my tv.
You know what… If nothing else, I’d take Defoe right now. The boy knows how to score. He has to be one of the most clinical strikers out there. Alright, he’s a helmet. But he doesn’t minge about, passing the ball one way across the 18 yard line, then the other, then try a (futile) fancy little flick to no-one. He gets hit, he leathers the fuck out of it. That’s what we need.
God, Pinocchio Thompson is such a cleft.
Welbeck coming on loan???
Hi Rocky, you and me both re Defoe, IF we can’t do better….
https://twitter.com/Oddschanger/status/506421506860408833
I’m afraid the sh!t is really gonna hit the fan at the City game. After we pick up another couple of injuries in the internationals I can’t wait to see our line up!
What? You don’t like Phil Thompson, Woody?
Vadim Vasilyev -‘ the player hasn’t agreed to join Man Utd yet. If arsenal or any other club match terms they can talk to Falcao’
All of the feel good following the FA Cup win and the Sanchez signing is slowly being pissed up the wall!
I read that Ginge…
Fox is refusing to allow Vlaar to replace Miquel at Arsenal
Tell me about it Bob. I seriously can’t believe he’s gone to ref a charity game. It can’t be true.
Fox can buff my helm. Fucking dipshit.
Haha SYG – I detest the bloke.
I’ve never heard so much shit come out of one persons mouth. He talks bollocks every Saturday yet Sky continue to employ him.
He’s one reason I’ve given up watching Soccer Saturday. I genuinely feel blessed to have season ticket, so I don’t have to listen to the cunt
P.S – excuse my vile language today. I’m normally much better at articulating myself, but today I can’t be fucked as I’m angry.
Defoe fits the profile…….another 5ft 0 forward. That’s plan a float high balls in to Defoe, who will climb like a salmon and score us countless headed winners. Yeh, right!
FFS!
This is dereliction of duty and gross incompetence. The club have the ability to address the immediate problems, for all to see in the last 3 league games, but they choose to ignore them! Why?
FFS why can they not act?
rico, maybe Bendtner on loan
Rico…. Can we please have a 24 hour “C-word” amnesty? Never has the word been needed more to express feelings about todays events so far, and no doubt to come…
Rico try imagine Welbeck in an Arsenal Jersey, he doesn’t fit
At this rate it will be advisable to keep Miguel Ignasi. He might come in handy when we have defensive crisis 🙁
Think my anger may have got my last comment binned!!
See what you do Arsenal!!! I can’t even have a conversation any more…you literally ruin my life!
Rocky….replace the letter C with a K……same phonic.
KUNT
I agree Emma- I thinkMiquel can be cover for LB and RB in the CoC at least…
Interesting how Hayden was last week used as a RW for the reserves… I thought he was our future at CDM?
Have a botched summer and you will not win the league..its as simple as that.
cnut. it sounds better.
Dan Crowley is the only future player I can see from the reserves. Even then, there’s a load of bodies in front of him….

jesus christ. kevin “i’ve set the bundesliga on fire for the last few years” volland. what the fuck do our scouts do? give me an hour on football manager this afternoon and i will have 10 realistic targets. seriously, at this stage, i would be happy to get defoe in through the door.
Arsenal push to close deal for Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa.
No idea if this has any legs?.
lol Syg. yesterday when Kosser was injured and we played 4 or so minutes with 10 men… a guy next to me said- ” I can’t believe a year ago when Flamini came on and did that sliding tackle at whl I was jubilant”. As a DM he failed to cover and Monreal had to tuck in and Ozil dropped back slightly… Per screamed at him but he was oblivious… 🙂
You have to make concession for Gervinho at least…
Volland isn’t the worst striker around. He gets very good on fm14
Volland was very good in turkey last summer in the u-20 world cup.
Rellends. I know. It can’t be rocket science. Why are players not falling over themselves to join us these days? People bang on about “wenger was the reason I signed”. Really? Why?
Kevin Volland is really quite good. He’s an attacking Midfield player, right sided. In fact, precisely what we don’t need.

Relax people, everyone knows the board is not interested in competing, they want cash for profits.
The people upstairs are excellent business men who don’t give a sh!t about Fans and football.
As for Wenger’s persistence with Sanogo, it really is unfair on the lad, who is clearly not ready and out of his depth. Its admirable how the boss in the past stuck by players like ramsey, but we can ill afford to given our rivals are getting the players we can afford but don’t even try to sign.
Its going to be an interesting end to the transfer window.
There will be mutiny if we sign no one , sell a few players who never got a look in and are battered by man city and dortmund.
If the fans know this George, then so do the players.
The signing of Ozil lifted everyone, as did the signing of Arshavin.
It’s a pity Wenger prefers to play them out of position.

Wenger got his minions basically telling us we are not getting a striker. JW10 said basically the same last week:
http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/mathieu-flamini-urges-arsenal-fans-to-keep-faith-with-yaya-sanogo-9704077.html
True George- Neither Wenger or the board are under any illusion that this team could even fluke a title, 4th is enough and that’s all they need to ensure. Why would they spend the vast sums required to actually compete when success isn’t guaranteed and there is no past data to show winning titles actually makes clubs financially successfully in the short term ?
Personally, my biggest problem with the squad is not the signings or the result yesterday. My biggest concern is a manager with 30 plus years playing 4-1-4-1 without at least 1 natural winger.
The teams that have played 4-1-4-1 like Fc Hollywood and BVb have Robben and Ribery on the wings or Kevin Groskreutz and PE Aubegang/Reus.
We use 4-1-4-1 in several games last season and got hammered apart from Naples at home and BVB where TR07 was available…
not that i believe the rumours about volland anyway but his stats aren’t that impressive. if he was any good then munich would’ve bought him by now or dortmund would be lining up a deal for him today. he’s not what we need anyway. all the good will over the summer has gone because, if anything, wenger has got more powerful. vermaelen not replaced even though we were told if he went we’d be getting someone in. does il duce actually believe that our 2 centre halves will stay fit/not get suspended at some point this season? i’m not including chamber because he’ll be knackered/injured anyway by christmas. this is a criminal dereliction of duty.

Volland is a good player. and he is still young enough.
https://twitter.com/GoonRambler/status/506431115062951937
Syg, don’t you going those harmless little hens… 😉
Volland not what we need, not in position nor experience.
Dev’s player Kruse I will take… £16m will do
Arsenal clearly needs a holding midfielder, a central defender and a well established striker to challenge for any trophy this season. The current team is not strong enough to do that assuming all injured players recover 100% and no further injury occurs throughout the season. I have always been a supporter of Arsene Wenger and think of him as a smart manager. Clearly this time I am beginning to doubt that. Arsenal areas of weakness can be seen by anyone who understands the game of soccer. Wenger is always stubborn, but stubbornness and smartness should go together. I fear this time our usual fourth place finish has vanished just at the beginning of the season. I can’t see Arsenal finishing fourth this season. That will be the biggest miracle of the season.
You know things are to teh bare when the likes of Fabio Quagliarella, Kalou and Vuccini are not available for us to be linked with…
Syg- does Gourchuff lay DM? 😛
Why has everything gone quiet re Cavani?
Lol Ginger durham is being positive? Has he received a brown envelope from AW?
Rocky because Psg only have 2 strikers…
i would like to declare i am speechless but i am not at all surprised by any of this – never believed a word the salesman spins, he’s a joke, just a joke now – Rednapp words on Arsenal half hearted approach for Remy sums up this egotistical bunch of has beens – so want them out of our club ALL OF THEM – One call from Mourinho and deal done while Wenger f*cks around at a charity game on 7m a year fuc**ing joke. What a tosser
Ts – We don’t even have that!
calm down guys we still have time…Lol…..good read wath and a good afternoon to the house
😀 Rocky… so true; Psg have one fit now with Zlatan crocked…
well Le Coq is still around AW has to find a place for one of his ‘pets’ as Syg will say…
It still irks me Aneke got no chance; he was built for this league…
Will you please stop calling this seriously worrying individual “Arsene”; which implies a degree of affection. He is Wenfer, fucking Wenger
AW is in Rome? who knows… Klosss!
or Gervinho…
rico, and Park on loan?
People really do need to start voting with their feet. Its the only language they understand. Don’t go to the ground. Don’t buy the kit. Don’t subscribe to Arsenal TV.
If Wenger is seriously saying he can’t find better than we already have then all of our scouts need to go. Either they can’t spot a player or he doesn’t trust their judgement. As for Steve Rowley. He used to manage a local club side when I was young and we used to spank their asses regularly. Clueless!!
i wish we’d shoot more often…..when was the last time we scored a goal from outside the area?
Will you please stop calling this seriously worrying individual “Arsene”; which implies a degree of affection. He is Wenger, fucking Wenger!
Arsene is his name though!
I didn’t think “Wenger, fucking” was his first name…
what if Destro drops before 11pm?
It would have been a good laugh if …
http://talksport.com/football/open-letter-arsene-wenger-spurs-fan-140901111230
He won’t Ginge…Destro is wishful thinking
I don’t thing Coquelin was one of Wenger’s pets, Ginge. He sent him to Germany to be voted 2nd worst player in the Bundesliga. He’s only at Arsenal because no one wants him.
Only think Destro may drop before 11pm is a glass of vino…!

Some-one said, I quote, “…incisor-flashing show-boating Turkish -boot wearing Duck Egg Wenger.”
Today could have been the appropriate time for such quote after yesterday’s game.
SYG, your 3:34… why would we leave it til now to try to sign Reus is because Wenger hasnt a bloody clue who to go for and dithers faffs and changes his mind every 30mins hence we run round like headless chickens sort and deal by which time he has changed his mind again…!
Anyone?

No idea WATH.

Someone said, I quote, ” I have nothing against him except that I don’t see him as right for Arsenal when he is taking the place and wage-bill of someone who could be.” He also said, “Would he get a place at any of our rivals? how often has he made the difference? That’s what great players do.”
This could have been more appropriately used for Sir-No-Goal.

@Syg. What does that quote tells you? I’m keeping tag…!
No we aren’t in trouble Bondex. Everyone is panicking. Twitter is madness at the moment, which is being fuelled more by supporters from Man Utd and Liverpool ……
I’m not normally one to do this, but today is fast becoming too much for me, so I’m going to see how long I can turn the tv off, step away from my computer and forget that football exists.
See you in 5…
Ts, he’s not injured, i mean, check your ‘sauces’…
Ts, it’s alright, i see you finally got it right…..
Yes Bt. that is what the daily-fail articles says; his first match from injury he scored a hat-trick…

A ball playing DM with engine as well… Shame Jorge Mendez but at least his 3rd party issue is resolved.
don’t lie to me syg.. we definitely are.. no cb, no dm no cf and that doesn’t look like trouble to you . What can be going on in Arsene’s mind now ?
@Ts. CJ25 coming back shows desperate we are..
Yes, AW is the man at the rim. He has the final say to all things but the pitch. But where is the owner? Where is the Board?
You just bought a brandnew house. You hired a painter and asked him to paint your kid’s rooms blue. But he decided to paint all the kid’s rooms red because he (the painter) likes red and he thinks you (owner) would like red because you don’t know anything about colors. What are you going to do with the painter?
We can panic at 11:01pm Bondex.

Rudyard Kipling once said “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs …..”
A few years ago we brought a few in at the last minute …
Same goes for Cazorla and Monreal …. We did those deals in hours…
Lol Ng- good analogy;; IG and Stan have said a few times that AW is over achieving. As PHW said its their club we are merely customers… 🙂
We’re all crying for change, well one has to go. Either Silence Stan or AW? Take your pick.
lol Ng; still Yaya is a youth level world cup winner… you never know it could just click very soon.
He was in the same youth academy as TH14 so AW will persist me think…
Customers are certainly not what supporters are.
A shop or restaurant gives you a crap product or service you don’t go back ….. Simple !
Arsenal is something that sticks with you regardless of whatever dick head plays for, or runs the club, or even the results..
…… I tried ‘not supporting’ Arsenal in 1975 …. I still found myself watching in forlorn hope as the BBC’s vidiprinter knocked out another defeat….
we have 6 defenders to cover 4 positions for an entire season. Amazing?
I like cheap restaurants on holloway road Syg. 😛
SYG 4.17,
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs you probably don’t realise the seriousness of the situation”
Is that the one you mean !
Gibbs, Monreal, Debuchy, Bellerin, Chambers, Koscielny and Mertesacker… (7)
For the Wenger Out Brigade… if Wenger was to resign today, as some of you clearly desire, who would you recruit to replace him? How would you prevent the slide into midtable obscurity that Man Utd have found themselves in?
If AW was doing things completely against Silence Stan and the Board, he could have been fired LONG TIME ago. They must love exactly what he is doing, racking the profit.
Possibly Micko….. I’m trying to be optimistic …. Sorry mate
BONDEX
call 08457 90 90 90

She’ll be a big bird with a flowery skirt and crocs ….. She’ll not know a great deal about the false 9 or the 4-2-3-1 formation, but she is fairly good at talking people down off a ledge ….
You rack balls, Nasher
You rake the profits.
That’s unless you’re Stan the absent Gooner – then anything goes …
Ts. Your 45:27, yes maybe but leading the attacking? He should go on loan.
cheers syg- 8 if Miquel stays.lol
Imo-We have not improved a great deal this summer:
Debuchy replaced Sagna, Chambers replaced TV5, Ospina replaced Fab
Alexis is a great addition (but hes too small and I see him as more of a winger , unless he pulls AW does convert him into a Suarez and ends up becoming a WC striker)
Campbell replaced Lord B, but JC has the hunger needed to excel imo…
Add another winger/striker who can score goals then we are sorted.
Theo and Serge will come back soon.. and of course King Abou’s genetic modification is almost completed…
“If AW was doing things completely against Silence Stan and the Board, he could have been fired LONG TIME ago. They must love exactly what he is doing, racking the profit.”
Nice theory.
Up until the point about profit. Stan doesn’t take a dividend and opposed Usmanovs bid to have dividends paid. Money Arsenal earns is kept in the club.
esxste says:
September 1, 2014 at 4:32 pm
On £7M a year – we could get anyone – inc. Klopp
rack-rake. thanks Syg.
I agree Ng.
I thought Miguel had just signed for Norwich, Ginge?
If Wenger resigned today he is the biggest tosser going. Leaving us in a mess not giving a new manager any time to get the players in we need. He should have resigned after the FA cup glory.
No probs Nasher …
is it official? Daily Fail reckon it is… I thought we would at least get someone in first…
https://twitter.com/AFCPressWatch/status/506389529256001536
Esxste 4.32, pointless question, he’s just signed a 3 year extenstion worth 8 mill a year, by the time he see’s it out he will have been with us for 20 years.
Why has Miguel been allowed to leave all the time we haven’t signed a CB beggars belief…
Evening all….

Just imagine what a real manager would have done with the funds we had. Solid DM in, we’d certainly have a WC striker. Only a clueless fool wouldn’t want to put a world class striker infront of that midfield. Wenger is done
lol, remember when I joked about us not signing anyone couple of weeks back Rico. Joke just became reality.
Jeremy Wilson @JWTelegraph · 6h
Arsenal did check on Falcao but wage demands were not deemed affordable.
Khedira did not train today with Dfb?
Sorry state of affairs Nickie…
@esxste, does the value of his shares go down? What he invested ( even though he hasn’t paid for all his shares yet) if he sells now, do you think he’ll make profit?
He doesn’t take profit right now, but the value of his shares go up and if he sells he makes profit.
Falcao’s last appearance in the UCL back in 2010 in a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal. Bendtner scored a hat-trick. lol
NAples did not make UCL; will Higuain move if we were interested?
Hamsik I will take too…
Seems crazy Ts with our lack of depth at the back. Not suggesting he’s the answer but we are one injury away from a disaster at the back…
Micko,
It’s not a pointless question. I read so many comments on here complaining about Wenger, wish he was gone. But nobody mentions any names to replace him. Nobody considers what will happen when he does go.
I just hope he leaves us in a better state than Fergie did Man Utd.
I think I’m fairly balanced. It frustrates me that Wenger hasn’t yet bought a CB, we are threadbare in defence. I’d like to see a DM and a striker too, like the rest of us.
But if he doesn’t do it, I’ll get behind the team and trust him to get us silverware. For all the shouting about a striker and a DM last summer/winter, we still won the FA Cup.
It’s not the end of the world if we don’t get the players we need.
And for all the shouting about how useless Wenger is, there isn’tanyone better to come in and replace him right now.
The flood gates surely has to open soon?
We could be lining up after the internationals with Debuchy/CC21, Nacho, Per and Flamini at LB…if either Per or Kosser were injured…
Go to Di Natalie !
@Rico. No one can say for certain that Stan and the board don’t notice these situations.
esxste – I think Big Sam could get our players playing better than Wenger is at the moment, or Tony Pulis….
JM- I will take Di Natali even at 37 y.o
Ng, do you think any of them care?
NashuaGunners,
Surely the best way to improve shareprices in a football club is for that club consistently win silverware?
https://twitter.com/espcore/status/506474398141153280
Big Sam, Tony Pulis? I’m not sure they’d be up to Arsenal’s standards.
For me the best guy to take over would be Pep Guardiola. I might be living in dream world there.
https://twitter.com/PortuBall/status/506473240450334721
Esxste- if you have time do some research how much revenue TV and reward fees we made finishing 4th to say City? you might change your views unfortunately.
Investing in football club is a black hole; as Monaco’s owner.
Unless the gate revenue reduces the business model is working as perfect as an atomic clock ; we are the most profitable club…
we put in 2 and get 5 whilst RM and co put in 10 and get 12 putting it simply…

Carlos bacca and winston Reid to join plus we haven’t lost a game yet this season and we came back from the dead against a team that bested us last season. See it this way, we won’t be going to Goodison park this season again. Take a chill pill guys. Wenger ll come through. He always does. Arsene knows guys he knows 😀
esxste – no, they are not, just shows you what I think of the way Wenger gets the team to play these days…
Saw that one too Syg, no way can we let him go, not when Sanogo is still here, like you say, ship the postman out on loan and play Campbell.
Thank goodness we all know you are kidding goonster….
Sanogo ll score a hundred goals in 400 appearance for us. He ll be a cult hero. Lay off him rico and syg. He ll come good. Remember anelka 😀
ask*
Chelsea are still operating at a loss with 11 or so titles won in 10 years…
Yes they have a smaller stadium but I read an article that extrapolated that if Chelsea had the same gate intake with their spending it will still be barely making any profit…
Chelsea’s cut of the Champions League pie is set to total £35.6m The Champions League revenue remains largely unchanged from last year’s total of £35.2m (Chelsea earned £26.1m for getting knocked out of the group stage and an additional £9.1m for winning the Europa League).
Hehehehehe rico am just trying to put a positive spin on things. Why y’all are tearing your hairs out I ve done mine in the past week. Arsene is a mug. He ll never change. He’s probably somewhere in Rome sipping on a cheap Belgian wine and laughing with gerwanko at us. If I didn’t know any better I ll say they are in lieu just to fuck us up for booing gerwanko.
Fair enough esxste, I’ll get back to you in 2017.
Arsene has carte blanche at Arsenal, he’ll be around for a while yet.
Howdy ginge good to have you back. You got me worried for a minute there. You ok???
And with us being so ‘open’, I thought it was going to be a roller coaster day of excitement. Been downhill ever since heard Falcau to manu on way to work!
esxste. If obtaining top 4 and maintaining Profit each year from the balance sheet, why the uproar from fans (customers) then? Silverwares at some point attract investors which boost shareprices.
Who would invest capital, and don’t like to see it double at some point? Everyone would like Returns in there Investment.

Hey bt we ll sign di maria falcao and remy on 11.72 pm later tonight. I heard it from my reliable “sauce”. Wenger is working on the deal as we speak. Wait for it bt. We ll blow them all off the water. We ll have the best window in living memory.

Negredo, I wouldn,t mind he,s a good striker.I think charlie nicholas could call it right, wenger could go in for klose for a season, if no one else is available, he tried to get im in jan, as a last minute replacement. But where,s the defensive cover jeeezzz.
I guess Dortmund said no to the 40 million…
tshg,
Yes, Arsenal make decent money with their top 4 finishes and regular UCL appearences.
But to really expand our fan base and the associated advertising reach, as well as prestige to boost the share price, we need to win silverware regularly.
The incentives are there for Stan to push for silverware… it’s just his time-scale is bit longer term than most Arsenal fans are prepared to wait it seems.

“It is is too soon [to talk about a transfer]. We played five games, the season is still getting going. The Champions League starts, the schedule will be great.
“We’ll see how it looks in the coming weeks, months. I am disappointed that I did not get a chance, but that’s the only thing I can be.
“I have to be poised for the moment, and to take my chance when it comes. That’s the only thing I can do.”
https://twitter.com/_GoncaloLopes/status/506484599602835456
Gdna. Rosicky is as disappointed as Podolski and Joel Campbell.
Flamini may be DM but he’s not particularly good at it. Ox or Rosicky could have done a better job.
marco reus me favourite player, im dying here, so disappointed ,If it,s true. He could still push for a move ,hand in transfer request, I know, i should know better it,s not happening. deal with it. AAAAGGHH.
I’m so disappointed with the clubs inactivity in the transfer market, why am i allowing myself to feel so down, its a public holiday in America & i’m sitting around an electronic device hoping for Arsenal to sign players, something that might not even on the mind of people at the club. I’m fucked if this is actually taking over my life while my friend talk about that’s NFL starting on Thursday. Why every Sports team i follow behave the same way. Why can i get outside and enjoy the Barbecue, listen to music and enjoy myself like the regular people, am i crazy?

I’m not Woody.
Fckng rubbish for Man Utd yet he’s good enough for us.
Says it all.

Syg, At the moment i will take Welbeck over Sanogo any day of the week. Sanogo is like a giraffe chasing a coconut down a step, he is shit.
That’s the state of it though eh SYG.
I’m not that bothered by Falcao, we were never going to pay that much money on wages, however we should have got Remy over the line as soon as Giroud got injured, if not before.
There’s talk of a midfielder as well, but what about a centre back???
I don’t think it works like that GDNA.
Wenger loves Sanogo. Just like he loves Diaby. It is a special kind of love that we mere mortals cannot comprehend.
Campbell or Podolski will be the ones getting shoved out if Welbeck comes in…
Right I’m off for a few Estrellas, hoping to numb the pain of being an Arsenal supporter right now! I expect to check on here later to see some decent signings or Wenger can fuck right off! It’ll be the biggest transfer window travesty EVER! Hasta la luego.
Syg, i agree. The decision AW make at times is beyond comprehension.
I’d take Stephen Hawkins over Sanogo right now!
Woody, Chesney is going to play ‘rush goalie’ so we don’t need a new CB!
AFC couldn’t organise an orgy in a brothel!
Transfer window…..my arse!
Woody – Can you remember when we bought Bergkamp?
Now we’re scraping the barrel for some Man Utd reject…. The only thing we’ve ever recently got from them is humiliation on the pitch and Silvestre … sort of the same thing really

Sorry Rico – Julie’s gone round for the curry and I’ve been trying to cope with the impending doom ……… just me and GDNA on here ….

Five super players.
In January it will be the Chinese players ….SAIN WAN SOON
What a fcuking circus
lol welbec k training at Emirates with England.
Aw promised English core… lol
Syg, stop hating FC Ufa have Igor as their manager.. 😀
Welbeck?Can somebody just kill me?
tbh…..I still would like better than DW
but at least he is EPL experienced and he is English. So he will hit the ground running
Kev…I can assure you that SAIN WAN SOON is a great player. He is so good he has three feet and scores with them all
Fingers crossed on Huntelaar…but I’m still hoping for a defender and holding midfielder.

Who is Frank?

https://twitter.com/GoonerUpdates/status/506512794305699840
In a choice between the black Bart Simpson and Huntelaar, I’d take Welbeck all day long. Huntelaar is just another injury prone, past his best plodder.
I’m really don’t see the problem with Welbeck. Works his arse off, and can score, in the right team. Can play on the flanks, so even Wenger does his usual of getting someone and playing them out of position, it won’t affect him. Unless he’s played as a CB of course…
Huntelaar was linked with us in 2009, 2011, 2012 and now today. He wasn’t deemed good enough before , so what has changed ?

It seems that since Giroud got injured everyone has forgotten our real needs further back!
Good Evening All. Any good news on the wire?
what a mess this transfer window has been…. truly pissed off at wenger and Arsenal… unless 2 significant signings come inn, in the next 2hrs…. we’ll be 4th-6th at xmas, at least 8-10pts off chelsea. imo….

I hope the fans come up some some chant against Stan Kroenke, he needs to know he is not welcome & needs to fuck. His attitude towards the club is piss poor.
Huntelaar rumour is bollocks apparently. Welbeck basically a done deal
Alan Smith on SSN says Welbeck to Arsenal done deal, unknown if loan or permanent. Seemingly only him though.
A good pragmatic signing imo…
*off
https://twitter.com/StanCollymore/status/506529817047863296
Ts, at this very moment Kim Kardashian would be a good signing.
Rick, Kev-
Arsenal talent Kristoffer Olsson will join FC Midtjylland on loan with option to buy. [Ekstra Bladet]
Welbeck is as underwhelming as you could get.
Branded as shit by United but good enough for us?
khloe will be better… 😀
I’ve said the Olson thing already Ginge – Keep up mate
He is not excellent BUT if TRUE he will give us options imo… AW could improve him… Fergie does not keep certain players expecially strikers if they are shite imo.. if he can get us 12 goals that will be useful than nothing…
You didn’t let me know Syg… that has been your job over the last 4 windows… lol
Ts, lol. The best 1 is Kris Jenner, the mom. At 58yrs old she could still do the job.
Welbeck is as underwhelming as you could get.

https://twitter.com/tazzz96/status/506531421200982016
Personally I rather Welbeck on the rhs rather than Santi against BVB to track Mkitaray (spellin), Drum or Kevin Großkreutz
No new CB coming in, allowing Sagna to walk for free seems like bs right now. imo
I was in Cyprus the last summer transfer deadline when Fjortoft told us we’d got Ozil. I ought to be back there. Arsenal never lose and we buy world class players ……..
Keep them coming Syg… lmfao
It always was Dna.
Syg- i told you to stay there until May.. a quadruple would have been on the cards.lol
We get Welback… utd get falcao…. Embarrassment IMO
Ts, don’t worry about the CL, Arsenal is just making up numbers.

Potter welbeck over klaas jan anyday. Not a big fan of the manscum but like sturridge when he was deemed not good enough for the chavs he could be really useful. Plus with santi ozil and ramsey behind him…come on now. I see a 25 goal a season striker in him. Sign him up ASAP. COYFGS. Yeeeeeeaaaaaah welbeeeeeeeeeeeeck.
Welbeck to Arsenal would be a permanent transfer and it’s very close to being complete. /SSN

https://twitter.com/Niall_84/status/506534201202847744
We were not going to get Lewandowski this late in the window with all the volcanic ash… 😛
Welbeck or Yaya? At least 1 has Fergie’s fighting attitude imo… he gets on very well with the English players too…
He is far better than whu’s Andy carrol imo and cheaper…
Still a wasted window nonetheless!
A one in 4 or 5 forward not a proper striker. At least he is always fit…
Note Yaya was ‘injured’ for 6 months and has already clocked up 3 injuries since joining us…
A 1 goal in 5* games
The first two lines were quotes from SYG,Goonie, my thoughts on Welbeck are that he is about 2 years in front of Sanogo and at 2 hours before the close of play beggars can’t be.
Underwhelmed, ginge
I never rated him when he was supposedly good.
and don’t Forget this one: Cerci (Torino) – A-Madrid
Horses mouth
https://twitter.com/peds223/status/506536177378549760
excellent point potter;
Syg- he is underwhelming indeed but you and I talked offline to know the likes of Falcao won’t have happened…
Juve were pissed with us with AS17 move and so Llorente was wishful thinking as well…
Cavani was never going to happen…
Welbeck on another African; Benteke? Syg. 😀
or*
Oh shite £16m…
I take it all back. lol
JM-Alessio cerci turned us down on Saturday… a bid was accepted but he thought he would be 3rd or 4th choice whilst at Ath he will be 1st or 2nd behind Mandzukic who most AFC fans don’t rate..
Arsenal agree 16m fee for Danny Welbeck http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/28678010 …
Chambers, Gibbs, Wilshere, Walcott, Chamberlain, Welbeck EnglishCore.lol
Miquel to Norwich on 3-year deal, Atalanta’s Bonaventura joins Milan & Marseille sign highly-rated Doria.
We are The Arsenal. We shouldn’t be feeding on fckng scraps.
£ 16 million ? Just paid for the Falcao loan.
Actually Welbeck has played 3 games for Yanited this season..
apparently he was sold to balance the books with Falcao coming… United sources
https://twitter.com/JCBxXx09/status/506536534091509760
Welbeck likes a flick here and there so should fit in!
Actually he can play with back to goal so could be OK. As long as 16m on BBC true rather than a loan. Then at least in January we could have two at least average strikers available. But got to sign a CB, hurry up, you’ve had 3 months.
ok. A short resume:
Sandro (Totts) QPR
Bem Afa (Newcatle9 and Gaston Ramirez(Southampton) – Hull
ricky alvarez (Inter) – Sunderland
Diamé (West Ham) – Hull
Blint (Ajax) Falcao (monaco) – m.United
Coates (Liverpoll) – sunderland
alderweidr (A.Madrid) Southampton
Borini (Liverpool) Qpr
Stambouri (montpelier) Totts
holtby (Totts) Hamburg
Pandev (Napoli) e Dzemali (Napoli) – Galatasaray
…..
£16m with add-ons over 3 years we are paying £8m now…
He has sell on value even if £5m next summer. English.
Falcao is just coming back from an ACL injury so maybe it was a bridge too far…
Lets see how quickly Yanited ‘garnish’ the 3rd party ownership seeing as Rojo is still not registered properly…
Yanited had to balance the books a little just in case; Kagawa gone as well £8m… £10m loss. Fergie. 😛
Ginge I ll bet you 50p that welbeck ll outscore falcao. Maybe even rooney. Who wants to take that bet?
Anderson may go on loan too..
I wonder who will play at the back for Yanited. D.Blind?
Goonie- it could happen.
I am half happy tbh…
Paying £10m or so to Monaco and paying Mendes and Falcao £340kpw was never my idea of reason… but I am a sadist so… lol
He might not be the super star signing we all clamor for but trust me this kid shows up in the big games. He has a point to prove. He ll knuckle down and be a beast in 6 months folks ll be like radamel who??
Plus he’s still young and has his best years ahead of him. Sturridge anyone. Am happy we got hin. Pl proven young English angry with a point to prove. Arsene you old goat you ve done it again. COYFGS.
Goonie- also Falcao can’t play on his own upfront…
Could/would our stuck in his ays manager change formation to play 2 upfront?

Syg.. keep them coming mate..
you legend. lmfao. 😀
We’ve got to keep smiling Ginge – Let’s face it. Any experienced PL forward is a plus on Sanogo…. Like LG are saying … I’d have rather had Balotelli .. but
Sorry if I come across as a bit of a thicko but wasn’t ricky alvarez linked to us last season, inter to sunderland now !
Welbeck to arsenal, done deal !!! not half as bad as some regulars would make out.
Centre back a must ! 90 minutes to make it happen.
at least Welbeck is an upgrade from Sanogo, deal agreed in principle already……
Wenger likes them tall
Nne can’t finish?? What are they sniffing over at leshite? Some people are just low lives who ll knock any player we sign down. I ve seen welbeck singlehandedly win manure games even under ferguscnunt. Alright let’s do this yaya sanogo and welbeck???? I thought so.
He was Micko- before he joined Inter; section of fans who may not seen him where slating Aw for not paying the £16m his club asked for…
Indeed Syg- we got to make the best out of a shite window but hey…
his workrate is good like Alexis, so will probably help close down defenders just like Alexis… Thats about it for me… but better than sanogoals… fighting for 4th imo…
Syg- me think AW was hoping for Balo’ to be available now but Brenda moved quicker…
Morgan Schneiderlin have a release clause, we need to get him.

tall and coloured Luznic …. but generally French, injury prone and from Auxerre …
Kel- personally I will take Welbeck-
If Aw invest more than £10m in a player; he works on him.. Welbeck has it all but the goals…
If he can do the donkey work for the likes of Santi and Ozil to score… I don’t care if he has high fade hair cut.lol
His movement might bring best out of Ozil too…
13 goals at least fingers crossed.

Suddenly the English core has gone up to 6 now…..Wilshere, Gibbs, Chambers, Chamberlain, Walcott and now Welbeck.
Fans might prefer chichito Hernandez but Welbeck was trusted more than him…
Since the Neville, DB07 era only him and 2 more have come through yanited ranks… he is a trier.
Seems like welbeck is a done deal!
but in all honesty I will prefer Welbeck to Balotelli and Remy, can’t jump up because he is not a 25goal striker, but he has goals I don’t think Yaya has any
i’ll take him to tsgh, because we have no other option. i just cant help but feel gutted tbh, i took some stick earlier in work lol ffs tortured more like it.
in fairness fergie always started him in the big games.
hope we can get a defensive player in the door here…
Mbiwa joins Roma on loan. ffs
Cynthia who else are we getting?
Kev’s Frank knows!
Wenger you ambitionless man….do the right thing!
If I were AW, when AFC play against NUFC, I would put out all the English core and then criticise PArdew for not having enough Englishmen in the team.
A whole forward line of Englishmen.Walcott, Welbeck. OX
https://twitter.com/wayneveysey/status/506549314572017666
Luznic/kel-He played on the wings too most times… 20 goals in 90 yanited games playing everywhere is not bad imo..
he is an EPL winner too…
There is only one poker player from Govan… lol
The old dog himself…
lol lee…
Maybe Welback wanted CL football and he certainly wasn’t going get that at old toilet or the scum!
If we get Nastatic it will be the best window since 2002 imo…
Yanited of Manure fans are not seeing the DW to us kindly
most of them agree that it is a mistake.
fingers crossed he blossoms and makes it impossible for AW to remove him from the team. a sort of English TH14????
I hope so
Ts, add Morgan and it would be. lol

so it seems like per, kos chambers then for the season lol ffs that’s really neglectful imo… unless there is a shock here in the next 25 mins

No more signings at Arsenal other than Welbeck. Net summer spending behind only Man U in PL and highest ever by Wenge
i hope van gaal is mot stringing us along like mourinho did to us with Ba last year?
tsgh. We’ve had months to sort out some players. At the moment we only have Mert, Chambers and Monreal to play against Dortmund.
Agreed bob john, yes we needed a striker but what about the massive squad holes in defence. 1 injury away from Monreal at CB.
Bob john, not sure why anyone would want to go to Italy, racists, match fixing, corruption, half empty stadiums, wish cashley cole all the best of luck !
Bj- it is negligent at the highest order. Considering we lost Sagna and Tv who played CB last season for us and bought a 20y.o very good thus far nonetheless…

Welbecks a decent signing. English players are usually at a premium, reckoned 5-10m so the price is OK… Interesting stat: Welbeck games per goal playing wide (4-5-1 / 4-3-3) : 7.0. Playing at CF : 2.2….. 8 from 26 for England isn’t bad either. Found that on teh webz somewhere. Baffled about the defence though. Reckon Bellerin is getting promoted, and we’re going with 3 CBs. Hmmm.
night all
Night Ts….
Just think, if Giroud hadn’t been injured, we would have had a complete blank today. While Wenger away playing in Italy. That would have been worst Arsenal day ever.
Night SYG – I hope the nightmares end when you get to sleep!!
I’m shocked we didn’t buy a defender. Really really shocked.
Really I felt, like many, that we needed a CB, DM & CF.
I’m reliably informed Lethal Bizzle is Dench’s get out of jail card tsgh, he’ll end up back up at Barnsley next season if he begs them to have him back.
Welbeck to Arsenal?? what happened to falcao?? shoot me now!!!!!!!!!
Guess, divine intervention didn’t work…
Hope arsene had a great day out in rome today, fcuking arse-hole !
Makes you wonder where our priorities lie.
Nite Gooners, take a fortnight off, you deserve it !
There are reports here in Liverpool that Falcao have failed medical
Close shave ‘The times’ reporting he passed it
Night Micko, switched to digital…..
Danny Welbeck official an Arsenal player. $26.5M
Welbeck just signed in time. Nothing happening Goonie style in my trousers, but better than Wenger’s first choice, by a long way, but he’ll do until the new year!
And Falcao has still not signed….I would love it, just love it………you know the rest! Doubt he won’t sign but wouldn’t it be good if he didn’t I may cr… Myself!
Heaven forefend.
Might all it’s been a blast….or not?
NGO I think your numbers are wrong, £8m plus add ons, about £16m over the contract time.
Good Morning Mumblers and Grumblers.
So at the end of the day we get a new player…..Wii Bai Wan. A Chinese superstar who can play anywhere in the front line. Mark my words……AW will make him the new TH14 of this decade. Pity that only half of it is left.
Oh, and we got Danny Welbeck as well. I wonder if he is going to play.
So that means that Bellerin must be promoted now. Good. Whenever I have seen the lad play I liked what I saw.
So the Carling Cup will see Ajayi and Hayden play now. Maybe even be a sub on the bench.
I cannot see AW playing all the games with Debuchy, Gibbs, Per, Kos, CC and Monreal.
Anyone knows what number DW will get?
He can get 5, 23, 25, 26, 29 etc
I doubt he will get 5. More like DW23.
But unless AW thinkers with him I doubt he has been bought to be a supporting act. I think it will be more to become the focal point of attack. Maybe OG12’s injury will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Suddenly we have got good speed up front. Sanchez, Theo, Ox, Welbeck. And at the same time with the exception of Theo the other three are work horses as well and have a good work rate.
If only AW had got another DM.
Morning all, we all know where We are now. Above average Window imo.
Yep, he gives us speed and hopefully ability to hold ball up for midfielders coming forward. If he gets back to his level a year ago, could be good signing with useful attitude. But how could we not replace Thomas? Means giving up League Cup, one of our few chances of making a 2nd trophy.
Thank fuck the TW is shut, I wasn’t sure if logged on to Twitter or TS House last night!
Gross neglect to the squad by Wenger, he should be totally embarrassed! Manure get Falcao we get Welback that just about sums it up……. A fucking travesty!
When you look at the wages it is obvious that we were never going to get Falcao anyone that understands the board and Wenger’s socialist ideals would have known that. People are disappointed with Welbeck because they are making comparisons with the Columbian. Although In himself he is an upgrade on Sanogo . The person I feel for is Campbell who must be wondering what he is doing at The Arsenal. Not a minutes playing time and another player bought in ahead of him. It’s at the back that I am annoyed about , we have had a whole window and are no stronger through the middle going backwards. Our Achillies heel.
More squad Russian roulette! Beyond a joke.
Morning all.
Welbeck, hey?
Well, it could have been worse, but it should have been better.
Potter, I feel for Campbell too. I’d hope that Welbeck would push Sanogo and Pod down the pecking order in terms of CF/LW
I’ve got nothing to say than welcome Danny Welbeck. Smh(shaking my head)
Morning peeps.
Morning Rico, Bt, Scottie Man, Nickie and all
Ts, finally, the chance to welcome you back……lol
Potter, totally agree with you…
I also think Welbz figures are not as bad. In fact he and Theo have similar comparisons; Welbz scored 0.36 goals per game last season. At the same age Benzema scored 0.3, Drogba 0.25, Ian Wright 0.24, Yorke 0.16.
I see Welbz as another Wiltord who will come in and score big goals for us…
Imagine Welbz scoring at Old Manure grounds to clinch us the EPL…; Damn that was my dream last night. 😀
Seriously though, AW is better with ‘underwhelming’ signings than big stars who end up getting lost in his complex formation.
Davor Suker is one example…
ha ha Bt… you instigator. lol
Ts, wasn’t me that got you into trouble, your equipped well enough for that…unlike our squad…
Still disgusted at the lack of defensive cover… can you imagine going to utd, city, Chelsea this season with kos and mert missing truly neglectful from wenger, unforgivable imo…. i suppose we might as well start looking for defensive players who are currently out of contract and can still be signed, as we most likely are gonna need one.
Wenger Out!!
Kroenke Out, The Board Out and just keep Ivan!!
Sorry, Morning all….
Jeeez Rico, getting up early, does not agree with you..
Morning Rico…. what a mess lol…
Usmanov in… ☺
Who is pretending to be ‘Rico’? 😀
Wenger, the gutless board and owner don’t agree with me Bt…
But no, 4am alarm doesn’t help… 😉
Morning Kel, a big fat mess. Utter neglect by all involved…
Awaiting AW,s explanation of the difficulty in buying a CB. Then I will want to hit him!
Perhaps someone should email this to Wenger.. lol
http://www.thepfa.com/transferlist
Freebies still available….
No-one Ts..
Andrew, he’ll have a load of old bollox to spin us no doubt…..
I saw this stat, DW 29 goals in 143 appearances….prolific..
good morning rico and all housers
wonder AW chose to be away to let things in Ivan’s (Stan’s) hands and co ,
to let us fans know it is not him who has the final say on transfers?!
or maybe he was being asked to be away so others take care of business?…..still failure no matter who is in charge! something doesn’t add up there…
It’s what happens from now on that’s important. I suppose. At United he has always been in the shadow of Rooney and RVP . From now on it’s sink or swim , he has every chance of making a career now. If we want to go on stats though his England stats suggest that when Rooney is not around ( injured ) he knows where the goal is.
So did we sign anyone else 🙂
In fairness BT. depressed as i am about the Welbeck signing he rarely played through the middle at utd…
Bt, he’s been played wide a lot though hasn’t he? Hope AW plays him central and he finds his shooting boots..
At least there’s another reason to watch England… 😛
Rico, good morning to you and everyone else on this Tranfer Window day minus 1!
Perhaps Falcao will adopt one or two or more of the out of contract boys and keep them in work. I’m sure he could afford it!
£340,000 per week is more than a working man, a professional working man will earn in 10 years. I think maybe, socially and economically we have got our priorities a little confused! Wait until the bubble bursts, which it will and see what emerges from the rubble. Not a lot I suspect except blood, sweat, toil and tears, and a great deal of bankruptcy clubs and players alike.
Heaven preserve us!
Have a nice day all.
Posted on the first day of the reign of King Welbeck our new saviour!
Things can only get better!!!
Isn’t the Colombian 38 year old Yepes available lol
Wavy, i nearly burst into song there….
Morning Wavy. £340k a week, no wonder we walked away from that deal. If it’s true of course…
Yayyyy I guessed right this morning on DW23.
that is his number now.
you lot feeling underwhelmed???
I am not. wait till we get to December. Then we can talk about DW23. Until then I will not bash him on the head.
But I am concerned about the CB and DM positions.
Unless Bellerin, Haydn and Ajayi are going to be promoted.
Welbeck last season scored 0.64 goals per 90 mins (excluding penalties) that was only better by Aguero, Suarez and Sturridge.
Welbeck’s an upgrade on Sanogo. Or ‘Dat guy Welbz’ as he likes to be fckng called
Under Man Utd he had Ferguson to keep him in check and crack the whip…
With Wenger it is a case of “Go out there and express your true self …..”
How did that work with Adebayor ……. Song ….
Within six months he’ll be turning up for training in white Lincoln Continental, wearing a leopardskin overcoat and running a string of bitches from his London Colney HQ…..
https://twitter.com/BlackScarfAFC/status/506713859575799808
Sorry Mumblers and Grumblers….but those who were dreaming of Cavani and Falcao were simply doing that……dreaming.
At 340K wage (Falcao), 330K(Shrek) and 250K(Judas) Yanited of MAnure must have one of the heftiest wage bills on just the forward line alone.
Sorry but AFC do not do those wages.
the only thing I am concerned about is bodies in the squad. Yes I do like Bellerin, Ajayi and Haydn but they are still young. Mistakes and injuries will cost them. but at the end of the day we got another body who is EPL experienced, has a good workrate, willing to learn and is English.
How many of you are willing to bet against me that DW23 will be spearheading the England attack in the CF position come next Euros??
I genuinely hope that it turns out utd have done all the ground work with welbeck.. They produced him trained him, developed him, fergie obviously liked his attitude, strength and pace.
The only thing missing was goals but still only 23…. so who knows we might be surprised by him.
Nothing we can do now about the defence just hope and pray kos, per, chambers stay fit…
Ps is hayden still there?
Well, hopefully it’ll reduce the time, Sanogo spends in the starting eleven. True, he had competition at old toilet, shouldn’t be a problem at Afc, at the moment.
Welbeck will be ok. Good luck to him, and thanks for signing. At least(!) he is a massive upgrade on Sanogo.
But really, if this is the level of player we were aiming at, why not Remy – who is better, more prolific and was half the price.
Another point, why oh why go in for Carvahlo on the last day. I wanted that player badly, and is everything we are missing in the middle of the park. And can even cover defence if needed. You have to make a young player feel wanted, like he is welcome. Not this transfer day BS. No wonder he didnt want to screw his club and change his life at the drop of the hat. We blew that one. And we have stuff all cover defensively. This will be a long few months till January, or should I say last day of January when Wenger *might* pull a Kim out of the bag again.
Chelsea and City had a transfer period plan, and hats off, did what they needed, with no nonsense. There was no reason we couldnt have done the same.
He’ll have to do, i’ll back him now and like Dev, judge him in December, if AW hasn’t ruined him by then.
roger, I’m ok with Welbeck too but livid that he didn’t sign a DM and CB, or even two CB’s and play Chambers as the DM…
I see that too Rico , my problem with it is that a small squad with various players patching in means that unless there is injury the top 15 players get overplayed again. Our first team is good enough but when injuries pile up that’s where we get stretched.
Exactly Rico, exactly… I always feel leaving it to deadline day is utterly negligent. Deadline day is for bonus deals, not for doing what you need. Instead of being hopefully optimistic for the season ahead, Im worried, really worried. Injuries will come and hit our chances of winning anything.
😀 ”At least there’s another reason to watch England… :P”
I love watching England only time I fall asleep easily.
Potter, the first XV got over used like donkey’s anyway… lol
All hail King Abou…
Absolutely agree Potter/Roger..
Syg- I didn’t know you were a fan of Big Daddy Kane.lol
Wavy-
Have we ever had 700 posts before??
Diaby for CB!!!
we knocked 1000 posts a few months ago Scott
Morning all,
I welcome Welbeck’s work ethic but to me he is the English Gervinho. Lots of good approach work but final pass and finishing lacking. Hope I’m wrong and he doesn’t become a crowd target if he doesn’t hit the ground running. However, with him and Alexis up front we should be able tohave a high pressing gamee.
you can easily imagine the board after all their failures saying at 10 pm WTF do we do now hahaha
Bob, Welbeck Walcott and Sanshez up front would worry a few less mobile centre-backs 😉
Oz, and Wenger saying “anybody, anybody, I give in’
i hope he doesn’t talk the press into trying to convince us this was ever a real target for the new ‘compete with anybody club’ – dear oh dear now we wait for the “oh well its ok, lets see how he does and forgive again” brigade. So Chambers now covers for the RB suspension and there will be a few of these and who’s covering the CB injuries? Mindless management. We sat and watched our DM torn to pieces time and time again with pace and we’ve added what exactly? Mindless management. We sit and watch top top strikers moving clubs and we take the United cast off’s again – Mindless management – he deserves all he gets, they all do
New Post up now….
Scott, no, don’t think so…
