Uncomfortable but true. The money is there and the club have been making offers for many players but they are just not interested in playing for Arsenal. Thierry Henry said so in the post match discussion and pretty much said thats why we cant get Lacazette. There is something not right about the club at the moment. Arsene looked broken on matchday 1. His days are numbered. It has that smell about it.
Lacazette is not what we need. No better than Giroud, probably worse.
I thought that during the press conference.Quote:

Only got himself to blame. Why the **** should people pay £1,500 for a season ticket when we have £200m in the bank and they know from the first 90 mins that it will be a **** season? I gave up a couple of years back. This is now taking the piss.
I disagree that players don't want to join, but I do think we are too stubborn to meet wage/transfer fee demands sometimes.Quote:

We consequently went years playing an incompetent keeper, because we couldn't get a 38ish year old guy from Fulham
Kante would have been an upgrade on Coquelin imo, but Chelsea quickly go in and get him, while we fanny around with bids for Mahrez and Vardy
Despite the injury to Per, we needed to upgrade him anyway. Then he got injured, as did Gabriel, and we still didn't have anyone ready for the start of the season. Then it will take at least 4 weeks for the new players (if we sign any) to adapt to our way of playing
I'm far from a moaner as you know, but yesterday I was pissed off with AW. Year after year, we are ill prepared for the start of the season.
How often have you seen him play, Mo?Quote:

His YouTube highlights reel is underwhelming. Reminds me of Chamakh's which was essentially a collection of scuffed shots.Quote:
