After his experience in France whilst at Monaco, when Bernard Tapie at Marseille fixed matches to win the league denying Wenger a French title, he walked away from French football. Given the way PSG and to some extent Man City have stretched the boundaries of FFP, I was hoping he'd walk away from football again. Hasn't happened....yet.sk-gtfo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 10:32 pmArsene Wenger hits out against FFP as Arsenal manager's patience runs thin

Wonder if this has anything to do with missing out on MBappe?.
A lot of us have been saying FFP will never work or at least realised that several years ago but 'genius' Wenger has only just noticed?!.
I do agree with him (for once) though because FFP at it stands is a waste of time. I don't think American owners will help PL clubs be more competitive though as we well know they are only in it for the $$$...

Re: The Fake News Summer Transfer Thread
Finally, a decent decision made on the transfer window, closing before season starts.
Re: The Fake News Summer Transfer Thread
Interesting article on Le-Grove which suggests the real shitstorm will be next summer. The likes of Ozil, Sanchez, Cazorla, Wilshere are out of contract and need to be replaced with no incoming fee. Also Mustafi and Bellerin want out. Mertesacker is retiring plus Cech, at 36 surely must be replaced as well.
That's a lot of money to be found...

And all this while we have no DoF, Wenger with his "evolution not revolution" bs mantra, Stan needing the cash for his loan in LA, oh and it's a WC summer as well.NickF wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2017 6:57 amInteresting article on Le-Grove which suggests the real shitstorm will be next summer.

This man is a fraud in every possible sense. In the linked article he says, "Football is maybe only at the start of a huge financial investment"........this from the man that told us in 2008/9 that football was living in an unsustainable financial bubble, that was set to burst anytime.
Yep, there goes the economic genius, on whose every word we should hang. I could tolerate it a little more (not much though !!), if he were to admit that he was actually wrong about something, but we all know that Hell will freeze over first. How do people just sit there and listen to his hubristic pontificating, letting him sound off like some sage with all the answers, when it's a complete contradiction of his earlier pearls of wisdom.
His utter hopelessness as a modern day football manager would be tough to take on its own, but hand in hand with his arrogance, conceit and self regard, it's impossible to swallow. Believe me boys, we are looking at a truly bad man.

Oh....and it's no coincidence that he's beefing about the transfer window closing date, tapping up and FFP......he's getting his excuses in early. It won't be too long and you'll be hearing this crap from the akb cretins.

Another one for the virtual XI.
Wenger (and the club) can no longer attract the best players because of 13 years of failure, bs and lack of ambition.
Still we can always hope to "do a Leicester" one day, where do I hand over my £1,200?.
#OnYerBike
"I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach," Mbappe told the Daily Telegraph. "He has a great reputation here in France, he's well-respected and knows how to develop young players."
After all, the hype about him is based on one exceptional season. If, two years from now, he has not developed as PSG would hope, then there will be a nice cushy £150K a week berth for him at Arsene PLC.
WHAT ???!!!! Are you trying to tell me that Arsene isn't a great developer of young talent ??? The whole World is frequentky telling us he is. Come on man, surely you're forgetting.....errrr.....ummm....well there's always, uuhhhh.....ok, ok, how about.........................................oh fuck !

Moan like a *word censored* about financial fair play whilst being paid £10m a year for constantly being the worst manager in the league if not country. The hypocrisy of this utter *word censored* is horrific.

Re: The Fake News Summer Transfer Thread
Guardiola straight talking about what went on.
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41205935
Pep Guardiola says there was "no chance" Manchester City would have used Raheem Sterling as part of any deal to sign Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.
Arsenal had agreed a £60m deal with City for Sanchez, 28, but it was dependent on them signing Thomas Lemar, who decided to stay at Monaco.
Manager Guardiola said the Gunners had wanted Sterling, 22, as part of the deal for his fellow attacker.
"They talked to me. I said 'zero chance'," said Guardiola.
"We said we would make a cash offer for Alexis. They accepted but they couldn't sign the player they wanted, so he stayed at Arsenal."
