Not a bad window overall.

Alexis had agreed terms with City, passed his medical and did a photo shoot in a City top...him and City were just waiting for the Lamar deal to go through.

He's going to be useless for the next month or so while he processes and vibes to terms with what happened.

He's furious apparently.

Good. He can take his frustrations out on the rest of the league.

Doncaster are very, very worried.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to allow the players to pick the team in any case.

Probably no worse than allowing the state of contract negotiations to pick the team tbh.

The players are pu ssies mate.

Look at Giroud, Kos and Laca...couldn't talk Lamar around.

If they wanted Alexis out they should've gone all Full Metsl Jacket on him and beaten him with a soap bar in their socks

I think this is why Ramsey says Kos ain't a real captain.

It's a good point. Do you think we'd have won otherwise? If not, then maybe the match was a bit of a free hit. Albeit a most bitter one for all of the Arsenal persuasion.

Giroud wanted to go to Everton. His wife vetoed it.

You mean by trying to persuade a guy who wants to play in midfield to stay by picking him as a wing back?

Yep. Stroke of genius, that.

Surely we were already trying to persuade him to leave by that point?

Getting Mme. Giroud to pick the team is clearly the way to go then. Silly boy, Olivier.
