Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: Summer 2020

[hydrofluoric acid]

Actually **** Law and Wenger combined to **** that one up. AG himself said so.

Yeah I think that is Griezmann side of story but then there is other side of the story that says Wenger wanted to sign him but was vetoed by the higher ups who took control over the transfers.

Wenger taking blame once again for every **** up other people were doing at the club. Nothing new here.

Wenger asked for it but the higher ups vetoed it, as per @hydrofluoric acid.

Nice. It was dumb idea anyway you can't have your transfer window close while rest of top Europe leagues have 3 weeks at least to buy sell players.

I wonder if people will blame Wenger for poor late transfers this summer.

Wenger was for the idea to close the transfer window before the league start

Yeah then he constantly gets blamed for Gazidis always waiting for deadline day to sign players.

Good, ridiculous idea that only hindered the PL clubs.

PL clubs get bent over as it is from the continent, the FA or whoever need to focus on putting the PL clubs in the strongest positions and keeping them there to increase the product.

Woulda worked if they rest of Europe went along with it. I suppose leagues starting at different points made that awkward to work.

Pep needs him to win the CL.

Pep needs his team to concede less goals, one of the main reasons his City side will never win the CL. Similar happened at Bayern where his team conceded goals for fun in KO stages.

I like the idea of a hybrid window for all European countries: Once the leagues start you cannot buy domestically anymore so as to uphold a certain level of "fairness" and stability in domestic competitions, especially in regards to smaller clubs. But you could still go out and buy from a foreign club until the end of August/start of September.

Yes agreed the problem none of top European leagues did that and it clearly hurt PL clubs.

Yep, for PL clubs it was stupid, but if UEFA were to introduce a pan-european model I'd like it to be a hybrid one. Although for starters one european window would be a beginning at least.

Well Wenger always hated the window running until September so maybe it’s something he can change in his new FIFA role.

Juve just stockpiling B2B midfielders at this point.

Same with VAR. European leagues and UEFA showed the way to use it (much less complaints over there) but PL delayed it one year and then tried to do it their own way which has been catastrophically **** in comparison.

Just make the european window start in June and end before August?
