The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

[northbank123]

Just saw that Dortmund are supposedly “demanding” Giroud as part of a deal for Aubameyang.

Couldn’t make it up - I’d drive him there myself. Didn’t realise he’s fucking 31 too.

[OneBardGooner]

Ok so i'm not so pissed as some at the Mhiki deal, Alexis could have held out until summer and walked for nothing, instead we off loaded him prior to his contract running out and got a reasonable player in return who may be sold at a later date to recoup some money.

Spoken like Arsene himself.

It's called pragmatism Nick, i don't like the situation anymore than anyone else on here but i'm also not going to wallow in self pitying depression like some. The fact is we got something out of a bad situation and i'm betting AW had little or nothing to do with it because if he had we'd likely have got fuck all.

Mhikitaryn was a good player when at Dortmund, less likely here but you never know. We were never going to hold on to Sanchez because the muppets running the club don't have the ambition for it.

I'm less inclined to want a complete scorched earth of the team unlike some fans so that when a new manager finally takes over from fuckwit there might actually be something left to attract a decent one rather than a Wenger clone and something he might actually be able to build from

Agreed.

It will be interesting to see how the ox and feo do at their new clubs - because if they do Improve and progress, it will be another confirmation that wengercunt can no longer get the best from players. We have all seen how the likes of Holding, Chambers, Bellerin have gone backwards under his tutelage. So as and when the duffer does fuckoff, if we do still have a half-decent squad with one or two 'gems' in there, it may be possible for the much claimed 5 - 7 years for a new manager to re-build the squad and restore Arsenal to some sort of semblance to be far less. What we will then have to contend with is the owner and whether he will be willing to 'Invest' some serious dosh rather than look at making more at the sake of Trophies etc.

Not sure about that. If we get rid of Giroud would we actually have anyone of note on the bench?
But if it meant getting Aubameyang I could live with it.

Kroenke has consistently stated that he is not at Arsenal to win the league.
He does not put money into his sports teams.

When will people get this message ? Oh and by the way he doesn't sell his sports teams either.

Lacazette.

Although in reality Wenger is likely to try and shoehorn one of them into a wide role. Although I’ve had more than enough of watching Welbeck and Iwobi fuck around out there.

100% correct

So even when wengercuntslop eventually goes we are still Utterly Fuckeded.

I won't believe that the Aubameyang deal is off until Wenger says

one day I will tell you why we did not sign him

Wenger's such a socialist that he is already trying to drum up sales for his infamous book, despite earning nigh on £10M a year for the last decade.

Stan Kroenke has strengthened his position as Arsenal's majority shareholder with the purchase of new shares.

It increases Kroenke's total stake in the Gunners to 67.09 per cent

We still after Jonny Evans?,

City get this guy:

Says it all, we are FUBAR, no chance of competing with this not because we can't but because our board/management/owner has no intention of even trying.

[GoonerMuzz]

Lucas Perez and Joel Campbell are still on the books so surely with the loss of Sanchez either would be an option to recall because either are better than Welbeck or Iwobi out wide.

And before anyone says anything i'm not advocating either as a replacement for Sanchez just as a better option than the other two because i seriously can't see us buying an equivalent replacement any time in the next decade

Campbell is miles better than either of those.

Perez was treated poorly but he was a poor signing from the start. Always looked to me as though he was far too slow to really prosper in this league at this level. Still better than Iwobi mind, who I really think will be doing pretty well if he carves out a decent Championship career for himself.

[GoonerMuzz]

I reckon that's our lot for this window i'm not feeling a vibe on the Aubameyang deal i'm so used to these 'high profile' signings being touted by every man and his dog and then them failing to come off due to the clubs ineptitude that i feel this might be another Mbappe fiasco, but we'll see....

Interestingly enough yet another one of the troublesome players Wenger let go seems to be doing relatively well at Juventus, Szczesny has played 14 times this season and had 10 clean sheets, possibly yet another player let down by Wengers lack of discipline ethos, I wonder how many players AW has broken or mismanaged over the years, does it reach into the 3 figures yet?

That's not really saying much though is it?
Sorry, never really rated Campbell and at 25 he should be at the peak of his game now.
