We were all moaning for not having a big (physical) player in our mid field that won't be bullied by our opponents. Now we bought that player but some are not happy because its not kanty, were was kanty before, not many known of him before Leicester.
I guess to part of being an arsenal fan, want every player at arsenal whether we need them or not. Any team signs a player we go on why not arseanl buying him, we just love to moan.
I'm pretty sure there will be more signing at arsenal not because I'm in the know its because we bloody need a striker and CB.
Just be patient we have all season to be unhappy with the decision made by the club and wenger. So just give yourself a break at least till the end of the August.

Use our rumours form to send us arsenal transfer rumours.

Could it all be smoke and mirrors with Wenger brining in the man he stated could win the ballon d'ore - Griezmann.
May be just may be we will sign a superstar with Wenger showing guts over fear.
Griezmann, Mahrez and a centre half with Joel and Ox on the way out.
{Ed041's Note - ahhh, it's not a transfer window without a good old smokescreen.
18 Jul 2016 07:47:09
Or maybe it's Kallstrom Chamack and Sanderos:-)
17 Jul 2016 17:19:49
50mil + Giroud for Higuain.
Maybe the next we might hear would be 30mil + Sanogo for Aubameyang and then you'll have me wash my face lol.
17 Jul 2016 15:46:39
It's all boiling over the media the Giroud-Higuain exchange. Well, it makes me laugh aloud. What are some journalists smoking to think Wenger is going sell Giroud? lol.
Funny how arsenal's transfer window always has been. Linked with almost every (world class) player worldwide yet no true signings. The trend continues.
17 Jul 2016 16:57:08
He ain't going to sell giroud! He's going to swap him like you would a football sticker and five marbles to sweeten the deal.
17 Jul 2016 19:07:11
He won't swap him either.
17 Jul 2016 13:37:26
Hope you allow my posting even if there were some strong lyrics in there.
Please delete this one! :)
{Ed001's Note - I put it on the others page, rather than edit out what you have spent so long doing.}
17 Jul 2016 13:53:51
Thanks Ed - real keen for AW to sign off in style.
17 Jul 2016 17:45:09
It was good SY4.
Can't beat a bit of Eminem.
17 Jul 2016 13:16:52
Hello ed, sky italia are reporting icardi is jetting in to londok next week for talks with arsenal, is it true at all because this is getting boring.
17 Jul 2016 14:50:17
If it is true, what do you expect with higuain? Do you think wenger might want both with Giroud the other way?
17 Jul 2016 12:08:20
Apparently were in talks to sign Icardi according too sly Italia, any truth in this eds? Thanks.
17 Jul 2016 12:37:01
Hope not.
17 Jul 2016 13:21:26
Better than no one though right Steve?
17 Jul 2016 13:38:15
Is he better than no one. For me he's just ok, just ok is not what we want. Just my opinion. Would say bony be better than nothing.
17 Jul 2016 14:20:45
We keep Giroud as back up which is good.
What would make you happy Steve?
17 Jul 2016 14:43:20
Steve we're not going to get any huge name forward. As Much as we like to dream they aren't possible the clubs do not want to sell and we are not going to pay way over the odds. And icardi is a better player to have competing with giroud then Theo or Sanogo.
17 Jul 2016 14:57:43
Kante.
17 Jul 2016 16:35:42
Anyone better up top than Theo is good news surely, if we can't attract who we want we have to take the best we can get, Vardy would have been in that category.
18 Jul 2016 00:45:10
icardi is a good striker. Of all the available strikers lacazzette and icardi are the best ones. Icardi is also physically strong, moderately tall and relatively fast. I don't think he would flop in the premier league. Hope we sign either him or lacazzette.
17 Jul 2016 12:09:35
Would Jose sell to us?
Would you take either Mata and shift Alexis up top, or Phil Jones, or both? Januzaj too?
17 Jul 2016 13:43:51
No, no, no, no and no. I think that covers it.
17 Jul 2016 13:46:56
Jose would maybe sell to us players that he thinks wouldn't strengthen us.
Look back to when he (apparently) scuppered the loan for Demba Ba after we signed Özil.
That said, I don't feel any players Utd WOULD sell, would help us.
Januzaj is another maybe player, we already have Iwobi, JRA and Gnabry as young attacking mids, why add another?
Mata, isn't a winger so would be square peg out wide and we don't need more attacking mids.
Id maybe, maybe, MAYBE, take Blind for a reasonable fee, purely because he can cover Rb, DM and CB if we're short, but A: I don't see Jose flogging him and B: I really mean reasonable arsenal fee, like low 10's.
17 Jul 2016 13:25:19
What's with you lot and midfielders?
17 Jul 2016 14:38:18
Well he dosen't rate mata so I don't think he has a problem offloading to whoever would buy. Wouldn't have a spot in our team but would be amazing backup at the right price. Either way, won't happen.
17 Jul 2016 16:00:22
If jose doesn't rate mata, neither do i, he doesn't rate hom for a reason. Why should he do better for us. He doesn't work hard enough.
17 Jul 2016 16:59:18
He has before. Remember cech.
18 Jul 2016 00:37:45
Sano jose didn't sell us cech, roman did.
17 Jul 2016 09:52:16
Still crying over Kante? we have enough cms and better I think.
17 Jul 2016 10:19:31
Better than Kante? What year are you living in? Are you from the past or the future? :-)
17 Jul 2016 10:48:57
Funny that I thought he was in a team that won the league last year and he wasnt in it the year before when they didn't. Remind me how many of out midfield have won the prem. Ha you ever seen him play?
17 Jul 2016 11:33:35
G62 we are talking about Wenger, since when has he done the right thing.
17 Jul 2016 10:39:09
One season that's all he's had and u and a few others think he's world class.
17 Jul 2016 12:18:12
None of our mid have won the league, and one man dosnt make a team, Steve R your in a dream world mate crying over one player get a grip mate slagging our signing off and he hasn't kicked a ball! Yes I have seen him play yes he runs all day I have a dog that runs all day does that make my dog worthy to play for arsenal.
17 Jul 2016 16:04:54
My opinion is he would have been a missing piece in the jigsaw, we didn't get him so in my opinion we have missed out, which is someone elses gain. You think otherwise, you think our midfielders have got the balls to ewin the league, i have grave doubts, end of. People keep asking thecsame question and i give the same answer, in my opinion we have boobed, we will said next season whether i am right or wrong.
17 Jul 2016 09:44:41
Is it true that we have bid 41.3 m plus giroud for higuan?
17 Jul 2016 10:50:01
In truth probably not but we can dream.
17 Jul 2016 02:01:39
Kante to Chelsea - from a CL club to a no CL club.
Ditto for Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic and probably Pogba.
What this says to me is that these players, despite all the posturing and bs statements, are motivated by only one thing - Money.
Can we as fellow human beings criticise them for that? Well considering how much money they already make I think we can. They are a bunch of greedy selfish arseholes who just because they can kick a piece of air filled leather around, we poor mortals treat as if they are heroes. Well F them!
Of course it would be a different story if they had signed for Arsenal.
17 Jul 2016 07:16:34
If there playing for Chelsea or united they are not human lol.
17 Jul 2016 08:07:57
Money great memories and medals sometimes I think that's all these top players want from the game, if that's thier attitude its best they went else where as they just weren't Arsenal material in the first place.
17 Jul 2016 09:16:55
G62, did you mean they are not Arsenal material if they want medls? Sadly, that is becoming the truth.
17 Jul 2016 09:36:53
Can I just say in the last five years we are the only club in England to have won every trophy available?
17 Jul 2016 09:46:59
It was tongue in cheek mate but still many a true word said in jest.
What's the disadvantage of joining Arsenal? You won't be involved in the title race or champions league latter stages.
Advantages? Top 4 is enough, job security where you'll be retained even if you don't perform or even play very often, you get a payrise even if you don't do anything to warrant it and your allowed to post a team selfie even if you lose badly.
Note to all applicants
If your the ambitious type we're probably not for you but if you enjoy a cosy life please apply now :-)
17 Jul 2016 10:21:42
CFC sorry to have to bring this up mate but! Where's ya 4th place trophy then mate? :-)
17 Jul 2016 13:16:10
I do apologise G62, forgot about the Emirates Cup as well!
17 Jul 2016 14:25:03
G62, we thought we'd take it 6 further and win the 10th place trophy last season! Never boring being a Chelsea fan!
17 Jul 2016 16:13:28
10th place trophy hey? That sounds two and half times as good as 4th ummm we're all over it Saim mate :-)
