These games
need millions of players to be driving substantial revenue.

Should governments pull the plug on megaprojects like ITER, it wouldn't stop private - sector
players like Burnaby, B.C. - based General Fusion Inc., a year - old startup by former Creo Inc. managers that has so far attracted about half the $ 50
million in venture capital and federal research funds it says it
needs to demonstrate a kind
of «magnetized target fusion» by 2013.
Its looking like he is building a new team I support Mr wenger why sell sachez now for 40
million while his replacement will cost us 80
million we
need to get
players of good quality first and then we can let go and I am sure if a club comes in with 80
million for sanchez Mr wenger will go for it savilla keep the ball well and circulates the ball well so many back passes to retain position they play a shape
of 3331 and very close there was no gaps and they were not afraid to dig in to our
players I must admit i like their system....
If we had a war chest
of 80
million before the deal AND we had allour bills and debts covered in our long term fianacial plan, where the F@ck has this alleged 150
million gone??? Surely it whould have been spent on buying these world class
players we all know we
need instaed
of being salted away somewhere OR being put towards other things?

Now Aubameyang would definitely be a
player much
needed and appreciated at Arsenal, but I don't think there's anything justifiable about spending in the excess
of $ 90
million.
He's worth # 16
million, tops, but I hope Arsenal don't go for him as he's only
of squad
player quality, we badly
need a proven goal scorer!
Wenger
need to sign a new forward to cover / replace Giroud will be interesting to see the type
of player they get, is it going to be a panic buy showing no ambition or top class 30-40-50
million player showing fans and pundits that we are a force in world football.
We leaked a lot
of goals 45 we lost 11 games and drew 6 that is 17 games down... so we will
need to fix the defense the midfield and attack so the minimum required is 4
players preferably 5 that could mount any thing between 150 — 250
million Can a new Manger coup with the same
players and achieve better results without investing?
We've spent 14 days
of the transfer window trying to negotiate peanuts for a
player that MAY but equally MAY NOT be the next midfield beast we
need meanwhile Man City have brought in Bony who is a
player that we could have done with and probably could have got before he upped his value with Swansea, I hear people on here talking about Wanyama and we could have got him prior to his move to Southampton, there's talk
of Dybala who will undoubtedly go to either Man united or cheski in the summer, we are missing a trick with virtually every
player that is strengthening our opposition and we sit and quibble about # half a
million for some unknown child from Warsaw.
In january we have plenty
of opportunity as for each window... All we
need to do is sign top
players, many are in last year contract or left out... Example: just look at PSG: Draxler we did nt want to put 35
millions for, he wanted Arsenal just like Kante.
Spoiler Alert people, we are not getting anyone in the front striker position OTHER than what we already have, there was a story in the star yestrday about the 250
million wenger is looking to spend on the likes
of Marco Ruess ect ect and I really can not believe that after all these years the Prof will change his ways and spend all that money and evern if he was going to he
needs to pull his finger out as all the top
players are being strongly linked with other clubs, meanwhile we wait for the brat Vardy to make up his mind when we know he is highly unlikely to come to us another summer
of dissapointment for us as wenger has already stated that Giroud will lead the line next season.
I have always had a healthy respect for what Wenger has done for us over the years but this run
of results is too much by a long chalk and its time that his competancy and the boards ambition was called into question by any
of the fan groups strong enough to make a difference, theres around 200
million comming into the club next season with the new BT sports deal and I am almost certain that this wont be spent on the
players we really
need nor will it be used to lower season ticket prices, so where will this money go?
50 mill is small dough but with proper planning and the sale
of average
players like wilshere or inconsistent
players like ozil and Ramsey, you can build an over 100
million war chest to buy what we
need.
Instead
of signing the three
players we
need he is in Rome to referee a charity match.we pay le fraud eight
million pounds a year to lie to the fans year after year.
desperately
need of 50
million wc ST.. What a waste
of title with
player not scoring for 12 games and I'm not against OG but he's just squad
player.
Let's get real here.It is very unlikely that ANY professional
player will ever say anything derogatory about a teammate that has just left the club.If Jack had said about Coq - «Grew up playing with him in the Youth Team and have fond memories
of a
player they though he had very limited ability he always gave his all.Very surprised and disappointed the club never invested in a World Class defensive midfielder that we have quite obviously been lacking for a number
of seasons and would no doubt have improved the defensive weakness we have shown over a number
of seasons» we would have echoed his thoughts entirely.If he had said about Theo - «A
player who should have been so much better than he ended up being.He had everything
needed to be a prolific
player for our club but I can understand the fans frustrations with his continued lack - lustre performances and total lack
of a football brain.I think this is best explained by the managers preference to play a
player of such limited ability as Alex Iwobi in front
of Theo pretty much says it all» we again would have all nodded our agreement.Although Jack never mentioned Alexis Sanchez I would imagine something along the lines
of «If the Manager had not persisted with
players with such limited ability such as Francis and Theo and instead bought the world class
players needed into the club then Sanchez would still most likely be here.The fans must wonder what the hell goes on at the club as they pay fortunes for the privalage
of following our club but it seems the
millions generated ends up purchasing a new Texas Ranch for the Owner or in a yearly renumeration
of # 9million pounds to our manager».
I do not see Mancini being that man with the
players we already have at the club and i do not see the club affording Mancini the
millions upon
millions of currency
needed to purchase the
players he would want to bring in.
Sort it out people we bench are top scorer and going to replace oizl with a
player we let go for free and buy him for ten
million I want big signings stop protecting wenger he
needs To go really starting to think
of giving up my season ticket I've had enough
of the same crap week in and out and people standing up for wenger get him kronka and gazidis out now a stand
needs to be made Iam done
i would have thought if we are only getting in c / h wenger will go quite big in who it might be i have got my money on a # 15
million +
player, to come in as we will
need that price range
of quality to come in to compete and maybe displace mert, or at least allow him to rest for a few games we do nt know who wengers talking to in the back ground but i am sure all the scouts have been busy and its just asking clubs for availability after that.
To enlighten you my friend, lets take a small deviation and witness the ridiculous summer debauchery
of Manchester United, who let slip they had money and
need for
players, overpaying more than 20
million in a few deals also which included meaningless high salary.
I've been saying it along with many others including ex pros that we
need to creat a strong spine To the team instead
of patching things up buying a
player here or there JUST TO SAVE THE FUKIN BOARD A FEW
MILLION HERE AND THERE ALA SUAREZ, SCHWARZER AND CAHILL TO NAME BUT A FEW!!!!!
also our defence
needs to sort themselves out, we can't say we did not buy defensive
players in cech and mustafi, atotal
of 45
million pounds.
and would probably want a move away to get more game time and would come quite cheap (prob # 15 - 18
million) for a position that doesn't always
need a lot
of money thrown, at it its the sort
of project wenger likes to make
players that come under his tutelage to improve them.
people are pointing out that is Kroenke's fault but the reality is Koroenke did not buy yaya Sanogo, Kallstrom, Park Yung and last year Takuma Assano (loaned to germany) to mention few
of the average
players got in transfers.Kroenke gave 100
million last summer so why not going for Abumayang at that time for 60 - 70
millions or Lacaztte (40 — 50 reports in Spain indicate he's going to Atletico) and another 30 - 40
millions for DM (we got Xhaka but i believe next season the guy will be much better) so the lack
of reinforcing the Key positions
needed is his fault.
Where was Gazidis telling Silent Stan that it is better to pay the extra bit
needed rather than waste another # 16 or 17
million on a
player who doesn't have the attributes
of the CF that the manager wanted.
I can't think
of any other
player that has begged Arsene Wenger to sign him as many times as Sissoko, and I'm sure if Arsenal
needed an ageing so - so midfielder at a ridiculous price (reported to be # 30
million) I'm sure we would have got him, but thankfully Wenger is not as much
of an idiot as Oliver Giroud!
Great match ups ahead for COQ... Flamini is out at the end
of the season, Arteta is good but I suspect he'll be a squad
player next season a bit like Rosicky in this campaign more so if Wenger get what he wants /
needs this summer; and looking at the amount we have spent the past 2 seasons it is more likely than not that a 30 - 40
million pound will be made on one
player and depending on who comes now it will be a DM or CB... if it is a DM with Coquelin, Bielik whose tipped to be the next big thing we will be covered more so if one more star DM signs!!
If I m Wenger and smart enough then I will go in january window and sign two decent
players not cup tied for CB and DM position... Because we are given luck to face Monaco and advance to quarters so I will sign for CB Reid / Van dijk and I will cleverly approach for vertonghen to check the state
of mind
of spuds by bidding 12 - 15
million if they sell good just like sol campbell to troll them every time and if not no
need to worry we will get reid or van dijk for cheap at 8 - 10
million and then I will sign schneiderlin or Wanyama because they are not cup tied and will be eager to compete in champions league..
I know it's crying over spilled milk, but if only we'd offered a couple
of million more for Suarez — he wanted to come, and he's exactly the sort
of player we
needed, apart from his occasion non-footballing mishaps.
Like yesterday was as low as it gets for me as fan I didn't even care when Liverpool got 3 rd and fourth goals because we're dead our pride as fans is same as
players we're just dead hurt, sad, weak and spineless then it gets better ox is going Chelsea today and now timers sanchez has put in transfer request haha when board said change they meant it change as in we're selling all
players and we're going like Aston Villa laugh u mite we are rotten from top to da bottom and it will get better cause I bet by Thursday we will bring in nobody and promote young kids we mite chance van diik he's going for 60
million and by Thursday night sky sports will report arsenal came in with last min bid
of 21
million for van diik it got flat out laughed at so at 1 min to 11 we came in again with bid
of 27
million and add ons til 2029 its hard and it is only beginning haha ox starts at anfield and was shambles and he is sold today says a lot about wenger if that was me I'd say stay away till ur sold u little traitor thanks ox hope its worth it, loyalty me behind ahwell we still bellerin another little man and heart holding for Barca ahhhh I'm so mad we
need Simeon's cum in and start bouncing heads off da canvas Jesus bring bk George graham at least we have defence??
This club
needs a complete overhaul Spending # 70
million on a defender would be madness.Just ask yourself, how many
of these
players would get into Man City team.The team is a complete mess and nothing will change until you know who leaves, which will probably be around 2030 if AW has his way
If you're disappointed in John because he couldn't talk
players and their commission based representatives out
of millions of dollars, you
need to get a grip.
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article about Chambers at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for
players who could have a monumental impact on the very future
of our club but somehow we found $ 16
million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't get me wrong, I like what he showed at times last season in Middlesbourogh but from the handful
of games I watched him play I still have some serious questions about his consistency as a back - line
player in the EPL; as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not get bogged down with the semantics
of peripheral
players and focus on the real task at hand = figure out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means getting contracts signed, getting rid
of a lot
of deadwood and bringing in talented
players into the positions which truly
need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
Glory days... the race to the middle has officially begun... BTW when did you write this ridiculous article, obviously some time ago based on the facts provided... maybe you were just waiting for the perfect moment to enlighten us about how this well - meaning but fairly average
player refused to move on so that we have another body on the bench and no impetus to upgrade in a position
of great
need... praise the lord... this is why this club is stuck in the proverbial «no man's land»
of the soccer landscape, not willing to pay what it takes to compete for real, but unwilling to «rebuild» for fear
of losing out on the
millions to be made from being just good enough
even iwobi if given the chance will be much better than mahrez, dribbling, speed, just
need to improve his decision making and not be timid in front
of goal, if we are spending 40
million I would rather it be on a cazorla replacement not an area where we got loads
of players and still haven't sold any.
However, we
need to use that # 70
million to sign a
player of the same quality like Mbappe, Thomas Muller, Dybala.
cavani probably wont happen not wenger type
of striker (wont play on the wings, non flexible non starter for wenger) like unless some one else said on here if it was on our terms and price (or if the big russian was willing to make a one off donation to cover all expenses then maybe also while we use the rest
of funds to get
players we
need) then and only then it would happen maybe the growing consensus is a d / m who covers at c / h (it would have been mbia for free if we got cavani how scary is that) and maybe one more marquee signing for a reasonable price i would bet my house on it (if i had one
of course lol) if we were to offer bvb # 45
million for reus this week or at the start
of next and offered him # 130,000 in wages he would be ours injury or not at 25 years old worth the risk every time.
or we offered 50
million for Benzema but he wasnt for sale at any proce... but instead we get «there are no
players better than what we have for sale at present» or a load
of other unmerorable bollocks that just seems to placate the mass
of fans who have been institutionalised into thinking there is no future for Arsenal without Arsene There is and we
need to see what it looks like now!!!!! cos at present NOTHING is looking like its gonna change and can only speall doom for the long term future
of the club
It boils down to this, if we only buy in one key
player per season we are NEVER going to be able to compete with the elite clubs and despite there being a few good points in your argument above its worth noting that only 11
million was spent last summer when it was as clear as the noses on anyones face that we
needed a better spine up the middle
of the pitch, AW has offered and given Theo a new contract at twice the wages he was on and he is without doubt the highest paid flop in the team.
That's why I always keep saying we wasted a 42m to bench or best
player the season before (Cazorla), that money should have been spent where it was
needed (ST and CB)... By the way I still rate my Cazorla far higher than Ozil... I know that's a past but I'm still gutted, 42m is huge, we would have sign someone like Suarez (adding few couple
of millions), Lewandowski... I support all my Arsenal
players Cazorla, Ozil and even Giroud when at the pitch, but hey this a forum not a stadium...
I believe Pep would have brought in some
of the above
needed players and likely not for # 5
million.
You will be surprised to hear from the manager who has spent less than # 20
million on just the two new
players Elneny and Cech over the last couple
of transfer windows why the club feels the
need to keep fleecing us fans.
GUNFEST - I do nt know who is pulling the cords at the top level, but we have hear wenger saying we do nt
need this
player and having chamberlain, diaby and polodski come back is like a new
player and Ivan gazidis coming out and saying the money is available for wenger to use, 40
million or can afford rooney that sort
of crap!
We are offering him on loan to Real Betis, they don't really
need him and Wilshere doesn't want to move abroad Sanchez — City offer us 50
million cash and we want cash plus Sterling (exactly the opposite type
of player that we
need) Ox — Chelsea offer us an absurd 40m for him and he turns it down!
Do we really
need Will Hughes, when SUSO has started so well at Almeria.Jesus we
need rid
of Joe Allen first, # 15
million pound for him was a catastrophic mistake.We
need a Midfield General & Box to Box
player first, back up keeper, World Class striker for when Suarez leaves.
It was a thrilling transfer window in the summer, with Neymar leaving Barcelona for a world record fee, but the Catalonian club could not just sit on the $ 220
million, they
needed to bring in star quality to replace one
of the best
players in the world.
We
need to spend # 150
million to have a real chance
of a top 4 finish, and hopefully we can recoup some
of that by selling some
of the
players that should never wear the shirt again — the likes
of Fellaini, Anderson and Nani.
For starters, we've got no chance
of snapping up three world - class
players — a feat that would cost us somewhere in the region
of # 100
million — so you can expect us to miss out on one
of the three main positions we
need to improve this summer: centre - forward, defensive midfield or winger.
Do we only go for one # 40
million deal, then buy budget
players in all the remaining positions, or do we just go for quality, buying two top, top quality
players and ignoring positions that are in dire
need of added depth?
