Wenger's Transfer Targets: Summer 2017

[BobP]

Why did you bring Howie and Coyle into this? We were talking about Klopp.

I'm not bringing City into anything. I was just highlighting how terrible excuse it is for Klopp saying he didn't have Sanchez or Özil.

I mean I know you are fan of the guy but in recent years he has been nothing but shadow of his former self. Average.

Apologies, I saw another one of your posts and thought you were comparing Klopp with Coyle and Howe.

Think you have to consider that Liverpool were behind most other top 4 contenders. Gerrard gone, Sturridge permanently injured, Sterling gone, Suarez gone. They'd lost most of the quality they had assembled and the replacements were inadequate. Klopp has managed to get the most out of those players and supplemented with a few good additions i.e. Mane.

Personally think we are making big longterm mistakes this summer with not selling everybody who doesnt want to extend. If it was just Alexis and we already brought Lemar, then ok we go all in for one more shot although we are not real contenders but who knows.

But this situation if we let Özil and Sanchez go on free with our limited budget we will be Liverpool for next ten years at best. Lack of vision is what hurts most. Instead of a rebuilding we are again opting for provisional title attempt when at best we can aim for top4 and still losing our top players in summer with 100m budget to replace them.

can people who bought season tickets get a refund?

He can go in line after Eddie Howie and Owen Coyle.

Probably. Three clean sheets for a promoted team is worth keeping an eye on none the less.

We can bring in any manager we want, but it won't solve anything in the long run. Our serious problems are coming from board level, we've got an owner who couldn't even care less about seeing 'his club' winning trophies.
A new owner is essential for us to get out of this mess.

The owner gave Wenger over 200m to spend in the last few years and from that he bought two very good players. Heck last season he spent nearly 100m on three players one of whom has his foot out the door and rumours has it another one may not be far behind him. We could have the Shiek owning us but if the manager cannot spend the money provided wisely we will be in trouble.

All that is true, I'm not going to disagree with you. But we also have an owner who must be happy with how Wenger is doing it as he's accepting what is going on. He's the one who keeps giving Wenger his backing with contract extensions.

A manager who's happy to run a circus show and an owner that's entertained by it, one big recipe for disaster.

nvm wrong thread

No players can save this team.

If we don't sell all the expirings and begin the rebuild after this match.........speechless. this team has ZERO shot at a top 4 finish

Battle with Everton for 7th.

 

[JHusMan]

What have I just witnessed.

 

[Garrincha]

Five days to sell Alexis, Ox & try to sell Özil even at <30m.

Build round our top youth & u23 players with potential complemented by experience.

Be honest about the project.

We are not challenging the Bayerns, Madrid, Barce etc in our lifetimes... Stop lying to the fans.

No idea of individuals but as fans not our job to identify targets... By all reports Renato Sanchez, Ross Barkley, Julian Draxler, Keita Balde, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Jadon Sancho, Filipe Malcolm, Gabigol are viable deals this window... Who knows if any would fit.

Everton is in front of us at the moment. This is just a sequel of last season. What is intresting is that this same team rolled over Chelski with ease two months ago, so the problem isnt in quality. Something is very rotten inside the club and team is perfect mirror of that. Doubt we are going in rebuilding anyway, this club is just about profit in the end .Expecting last day transfer of Mahrez or Draxler but that is just cosmetics. This team has no future.

 

[blaise]

Yup I d also rather sell Alexis Özil and Ox even without buying anybody. I d rather watch Nelson and be 8-13 than watching this and be 6-8 in league table in the end.

 

[Axel9090]

I mean, can't y'all just at least wait and see how things look now that Koscielny is back from suspension and others are back to fitness?

So hows it looking Slarti? Are we okay to overreact now or? Koscielny was back right?

 

[RoadrunnerReloaded]

@Slartibartfast

So are you saying that if a rich owner is a childhood fan of the club its okay to inject cash into the club but if the rich owner wasn't a childhood fan its not as morally acceptable to you?

Also, if you want to judge Arsenal solely on "how the club is run", that's fine with me. But then based on those standards, I would say Kroenke is still a worse owner for us than Etihad has been for City as our club has really been very poorly run ever since Kroenke took over. Could also argue that Kroenke is worse than the Glazers or FSG based how the clubs are run let alone the best run clubs in the world currently.

Also you have to distinguish City and PSG from Chelsea as City is not just a rich billionaires play thing.

Money not even the point here..not even messi can save us if the manager cant get a basic tactic right..

well it's saved me money - I have just cancelled Sky Sports so I never again have to watch rubbish like that

 

[Highbury_2006]

This season is already over. We will not challenge for the title, we will not challenge for a CL spot and we will not win any titles. Goodnight.
