Angry & Miserable
Two bums.
Time for people to admit the last two summer windows were really poor.. These 'fantastic summer transfers' claim just doesn't add up with reality..
A 3rd poor summer window in a row and Raul & co's heads should roll, but that would require us to act like a proper top club.
Reckon my worst post on here is last summer after the window when I asked for Raul to get a new contract.Time for people to admit the last two summer windows were really poor.. These 'fantastic summer transfers' claim just doesn't add up with reality..

Top post. I got trashed on here for suggesting our window was terrible. Something about being short sighted for not knowing that a winger would improve our defence.Sarr, Fekir, Perisic and Upamecano could have all been gettable for our actual transfer outlay. That would’ve improved us massively and wouldn’t have left us with multiple fires to put out this window.
Sarr and Fekir alone would have been cheaper than Pepe, who’s been outperformed by Sarr this year tbh.

But then again I'm used to being told my views on squad cost and 'we'll only go down hill if you get rid of Wenger' were rubbish.
Imagine how much the MAFIA crew bully Vinai in private, disgraceful scenes I bet.
:rofl:Can see even see Özil bullying him like MJ and Pipen bullied Jerry Krause for being short.

Edu is enabling all this rubbish though isn't he? As Technical Director.
Very true, but my take in the summer was that we had Saka and Nelson in reserve, both of whom, at the risk of upsetting @hydrofluoric acid, are not bad players.I still don’t think a winger was a mistake as it was a position of need with Iwobi and in theory a defence should be the easiest part of a team to coach.
However the problem was spending 97M on a winger and a teenage CB who won’t join until next season. We needed a winger, a CB and a creative midfielder last summer but bought in just one for this season.
So we ended up with a flop winger (so far), a panic buy of Kia’s client and no midfielder.
I liked Sarr as a cheaper winger, buying him for almost 50M less would have let us bring in Upamecano and had money left over for Fekir.
The club has let Jorge Mendes, Kia and Raiola put themselves into the recruiting process of the club and instead of finding value we’ve actually got worse.
Would love to be a fly on the wall when that issue brought up.Their star signing has been overtaken by three kids.
