Alex Mong is at the training ground. I am serious :shock:

Full steam ahead for THE BANTER ERA :barscarf:
Posted this at 10:30 this morning. God help us if we re-sign that useless bucket of skin
Imagine if we lined up with a midfield of Mong, The Swiss Turd and Sideways/Backwards Nanny :shock:

End of days stuff right there.

Alan Smith has said on ssn that he thinks these new signings have been done with wenkers input and it suggests a transfer of some of the power away from the french c.unt (my words not his :wink: ). It has been said by many of the fans on here already, but I love to see a respected pundit (and former player) come out and openly say it 8)
with wengers input or without?

Alan smith on ssn calling man city a big club F*CK OFF!

So you’re a big club if you have money rather than history
Out of interest what does make you a big club then??
Big clubs don’t need billionaires to buy them trophies. City and Chelski are nothing without rich billionaires. If Abramovich ditched Chelski do you honestly think they would be anything other than a mid table club?

What league where City in not 20 years ago?

And now Ozil seems to be signing up for more of this shit :shock: :lol:

They're all bonkers for signing for us but good news all the same.

A lot of people on here moan that Kroenke doesn't put any money in, can't have it both ways.
United have been relegated in living memory, doesn't make them a small club.

There’s putting money in and investing in the team and outright just blowing hundreds of millions because you are a rich sheikh. Arsenal have always been a well managed club but they haven’t spent the money they should have done at the right time. No one expects us to match City in the transfer market pound for pound. Big difference.

A bit non-plussed but if we can get a few more goals out of him, a more than one in three or four output, a few games over Christmas, a few more decent defenders and appropriate midfielders, and, above all, kick out the useless old coint in the jacket, then it might be good news. :barscarf: :)

bit weird that Arsenal have just made their record ever signing...and yet most on here know that it will make no difference to the level of performance of the club.
Did you see the game last night and most of this season?
Attacking isn't our problem.

Great signing though!!

Don't get fooled by the bollocks the media pundits chuck out. We do not play good football. Every once in a while we'll score an incredibly worked goal, but most of our performances are like last night. 800 sideways passes and no shots on target. In a few games recently we've not managed a shot on target in the first half and last night it took us half an hour against the bottom of the league side.

I think are problems are all over the pitch as well as off it.

The PR of this club is something else. On the brink of another meltdown then they announce Aubameyang and Ozil signing a new deal and the flip flops live to flip flop another day.

Ozil signing contract is probably the best news today. Now sign up Jack Wilshere.

And a CB and keeper.

When is Mr 30 years going to address the real issues with his first team.....yeah Abou is decent and has pace which will be a plus, we Have Ozil and Mikhitaryan.......but defensively....FUCK where do you start?

Looks like we are going to score a few goals and concede a few as well unless he makes changes, no chance of a title challenge until its rectified

Personally I hope that ozil doesnt sign a new deal and fcuks off in the summer - we have two strikers now and should be looking to change to 4-4-2, and ozil does not fit into that formation imo

Obviously pleased that Ozil signed but it is a bit strange that no one else seemingly came in for him.

You are forgetting that the club is not interested in title challenges these days. It is all about maximising profits.

Competing for the title is too expensive.
