The ISSUE IS, are these the kind of signings we need

If we start the season based on these kinds of signings can anyone honestly say hands on heart that we have a hope in hell of us winning the league

The whole situation at the club stinks to the high heavens, there is a sense of complacency that cuts across all we do. No one seems to want to do anything till Arsene has a say, contracts are being allowed to run down, under achieving players are offered new deals, signing not tracked properly (all we get nowadays is this line from Arsene when a player blossoms at another club; We were actually inline to sign so and so before he went to , fill the blanks) The appeal for even young players is now dying a slow death.

Arsene needs to hands off the reins of signings, just identifying who he wants and let Ivan handle it.

Knowing Arsene, THE BRAZILIAN/IVORIAN MIGHT BE THE ONLY MAJOR SIGNING OF THE SUMMER (Expect to hear quotes like; Nasri and Cesc are just like new signings)

Like i said, when other clubs are arguing on established players, we are busy talking about potential, wtf!!

Something need to change, we have a squad, where some key players wished they were somewhere else, those that go have the effrontery to say they are going because they want to win Trophies I mean the whole thing sounds like a big joke. I mean from wanting to go because they want the team to be more competitive (Paddy V) or wanting to go to win the CL (Titi) to wanting to go just top win a trophy.

I see Arsene churned out the; This is a Young Squad line in Asia to get us all prepared for the season.

I suggest we start to put out Arsene quotes we have heard for the past 6 years that he has started to churn out already;

"This Team has Mental Strength"
" We were closer to the top than everyone thinks/gives us credit for"
"I believe Cesc will stay/He loves the cclub"
"When we see/identify a player that will add quality to the squad we will go for him"

Ok, answer me this; WHO IS IN THE MARKET FOR A DEFENDER United Chelsea Citeh Real Barca WHO
Are we also waiting for clubs like Rangers and Fenabarche to finish their biz as well

Hey i know, UEFA should allow Arsenal special dispensation to buy it's own players 1 week after the August deadline, that way we are the only bidding club. That should get us the kind of players we need.

What is the point of Gervinho scoring 15 goals, when his lover Eboue will concede 15 pens at the other end to hand parity back to the opposing team

mumuface, you are a tool!

one woulda thunk staying in england should have gone a long way to educate and expose you. . . .but you sound like someone still living in the depths of idanre hills. so what are you going to accuse rupert murdoch of now? his goons hacked arsene wenger's voicemails to see through his signings, tactics and formations then sold to ferguson and roman abramovic? when will you stop disgracing the likes of debosky, dr.kitaun and eldee on these pages?

coogar:

i am yet to see arsenal make any genuine bid for any defender. . . . .all the reports i have seen are media speculation. did wenger actually bid for chris samba or gary cahill?

duduspace:

E gbami o, this boy is seemingly beyond redemption, have you watched the program abi is the program about Murdoch?  
yu sabi English pass this naa, why are you embarrasing yourself and speaking like yu dey toast omo alata like this? o ga fun e o.
Go and watch program and hear the insinuations against Old red nose first. You too dey jump like Antelope. cheech.

debosky:

That might be, but as long as he recoups the initial investment plus a healthy profit AND invests in a capable replacement, I am not too bothered. Arsenal has always sold players to other clubs and will continue to do so.

coogar:

what has bryan robson gotta do with man utd/old trafford/sir alex? robson last played for united when you were still in your sullied pampers. since then, he has since managed west brom, middlesboro, bradford city, sheffield united and now thailand. he last laced his boots for united like 17 yrs ago.
abeg, if you have anything substantial to say - spew it. otherwise put a sock in it.

duduspace:

a pity yu're still soiling yours at such an old age and wiping your potty mouth with it. Was Robson the only person allegations were made against in the program? fair enough nothing has been substantiated against Fergie and I never implied they were. A pity I assumed yu wld understand that but of course one would expect the silly coogar to go beserk as usual.

coogar:

mumuface:

I hope this is the beginning of another controversy that will sweep many of this Manure parapo people in English football away as the hacking scandal has swept the rug under Murdoch's feet.  Tongue

Go and watch program and hear the insinuations against Old red nose first. You too dey jump like Antelope. cheech.

those were your words and yet you made a u-turn nothing has been substantiated against fergie - it's pitiful you stay in manchester and yet you still reason like a chimpanzee in the hills of idanre.

slimshay:

All this handwringing aint worth two-pence.

The saddest news this summer is that we are negotiating to sell Cesc. Means he has given his answer to the question AW has been asking him since. Does he want to stay or go?
Some people will now say Nasri will do the job. I laff in jabulani.

Baba ijebu sort this s#!t out.

dayokanu:

Negotiations on for Cesc.

Music to my ears

Arsene - Hello is this so and so club
Club Rep - Yes how may we help you
Arsene - well my name is Arsene
Club Rep - Oh My God as in Arsene Wenger
Arsene - yeah it's me
Club Rep - How may we help you Mr Wenger
Arsene - i want to inquire about a particular player of yours called
Club Rep - Ok
Arsene - How much is he going for if we were interested
Club Rep - well err 16 mil
Arsene - Last price please
Club Rep - well we can only go down to 14 mil and that's the final price
Arsene - Click!!
Club Rep - Hello, hello sorry Mr Wenger did you hear me? HELLO IS ANYONE THERE!!

Arsene (5 mins later at the Arsenal press conference) - Well when we find the player(s) we need we will buy.

duduspace:

Arsene has done well with what he's had to work with. When he came to the club, we weren't even in the top 3 in England in terms of turnover, both Newcastle and Liverpool were ahead of us and in terms of value (mostly determined by Equity, assets and the balance sheet) we were also nowhere near any of those 2. Even betweeen the last list in 2010 and now we've move up a place from 8th to 7th despite the media created impression of some sort of crisis.
When some people compare us to Manure, they are quick to forget where we are coming from, there is some sort of assumption that we've always been there at the top.

We however need to sort out this trophy thingie on the playing side, and then Arsenal can take its rightful place in the rank of elite clubs, we are already there in terms of financial stability and money but we need to show it on the playing side.

duduspace:

Why are yu now bathing yourself in feces like a frustrated gorilla? I tire for you o coogar, will it take Debo to come and explain the difference between insinuations and substantiated fact? and the difference between hope and reality?  
do you read things and think first before you respond or are you just naturally agitated to respond first and then think later? The only people who act like this in manchester are those chaps who went in hoodies to Rooney's house. You is in dire need of some refinement  

coogar:

arsene has done nothing. the difference between arsenal of then and arsenal of now is the move from highbury(19,000 capacity) to the emirates(60,000 capacity) and wenger did not use his own money to build the stadium. he borrowed it from the dubai folks. the massive increase in revenue puts arsenal as the 2nd most watched team in england so it is always expected their stock would rise.

coogar:

council of hammersmith won't let chelsea expand their stadium and it would be a disgrace for them to leave west london to go build elsewhere. liverpool are also stuck at anfield(they need a bigger stadium. . . .arsenal have done nothing apart from borrowing to build a stadium - the playing side is nothing to write home about since 2005 and i am yet to see a marquee player signed for almost 10 yrs now.

duduspace:

And that happened by chance?
didn't involve planning and a restrategisation that affected the playing side of things?

Stop thinking with your butt, its gross misuse of natural resources.  When yu borrow money, does someone just give you the money? no interests to pay back? Up till last year when we cleared a great chunk of our debt, Arsenal was paying about 40m per annum on interest alone.

If it was so easy to build stadiums in the current economic climate, why the roforofo fight between the spuds and west ham over the olympic stadium?
where are Valencia and Juve who are also building stadiums at present in their respective leagues?

coogar:

stop talking like a pillock. . . . .it's a no brainer arsenal needed a bigger stadium. highbury was smaller than where united reserves play every tuesday and thursday. every big club in england had stadium expansion on their mind but england is so small these dreams are rarely achieved.

duduspace:

You've descended to piffles, point made. I don't
I give up, its difficult explaining basic things to someone who's neurons and dendrites are in a state of permanent atrophy. If all the electricity from the nuclear stations in the US were connected together to give your brain a massive jolt, it would still remain in a stasis of self inflicted ignorance.
Even an SSS1 student understand that resources are scarce and have alternative uses, and Mama alata in the market understands that 1 better life used to buy maggi is not available to buy tatase. If that basic concept is beyond your grasp, then I give up.

On another note, Arsenal Reserves beat a non-league side 9 - 0 today, maybe they're trying to make up for the 10 - 1 defeat they suffered last season.
JET doing well against lower level opposition as usual, when will he bring it to prime time? .
