I'll use these programs to show
why transferring points is a better value than using Chase's (or Amex's) fixed - value system.

point about the Monaco, Henry and Mbappe connection and you could understand

Disappointment in the pre-season
transfer window, followed by rationalizations of
why we should give the team and Wenger a chance and not write them off before a ball is kicked in anger, followed by analyzing each set back as «too early to panic» followed by excuses about injuries and referees, followed by anger and disappointment after the inevitable reality sets in and Arsenal are effectively eliminated from the PL race before the year is even finished and the PL has reached its half way
point.
why was Sanchez truly playing... no one believes he was too injured to play to start the season, and some like myself would go as far to suggest he wasn't injured at all... so
why play him... they can't say it was to appease the fans because when was that ever a factor at this club except when «panic buys» were in the offing... I believe that this was to give Arsenal a little leverage when it comes to negotiating his
transfer... just imagine their horrible bargaining position if Sanchez never saw the field before the deadline then heading back to South America and played for Chile... regardless of the facts, this was sadly again another example of a team putting business ahead of fielding a team with the greatest chance to secure 3
points... of course, some will say that Sanchez is, or was, our best player, so obviously he's a no - brainer to start, but those who really watch the game know that his heart hasn't been truly in it for quite some time... even at the end of last season you could see a definitive difference between the Sanchez who played for Chile and the one that played for Arsenal... that being said, 70 % of Sanchez is still better than a 100 % of the vast majority of our remaining roster... shame on you Arsene and shame on you too Sanchez for that telling smirk... I've supported your attempt to push this squad to the next level but don't pretend for a second that you didn't know you were being watched... don't lower your standards or you'll end up like this club, on the outside looking in
You might blame Wenger and I will blame Gazidis, either way that partnership has failed us fans countless years, I know Wenger isn't strong at
transfers and will agree with other fans on that
point... but isn't that
why managers have support?
, Montreal was meant to happen in the summer of that year per agreement has been reached with is club malaga but when Gibbs got injury and no one to cover he has to come that was
why pellegrin (sorry if I murder the name) was angry with the said
transfer Therefore, my
point is it was not ment to happen the it was by chance as we all know Wenger don't like to buy player in winter... but who knows I might also happen by chance as it was during adebayor
transfer too.
and wenger is being a t ## t now you can not start the
transfer window with sanchez and end it with a f» ing wellbeck i will be dissapointed if we get that desperate only big name striker now would be cavani but no
point even saying it, we all know he thinks he has brought enough typical frustations for us gooners
why can we challenge the big teams for the big players suarez to barca, I would of been happyt with balo liverpool, costa chelsea, if they do falcao united wich is a complete joke if he is happy going to united he would have been happier coming here with ucl and all, lewandowski bayern, its all a joke we better get a reus or something of equal measure you cant buy sanchez and place him as a striker when you need him as a winger if defeats the purpose we either get another winger or a striker.
On the other hand it could just be seen as one of those things and that in reality the reason
why Arsenal are currently sitting 11
points off the surprise leaders Leicester City is because we have not been good enough or have shot ourselves in the foot too often, while some will

transfer action from the boss as a glaring flaw in his master plan.

why clubs pay insanely for proven players but in a world of out - of - control

point.
much like when a country can't divulge highly classified information publicly for obvious economic and military reasons, a professional soccer organization must keep certain things in - house so they don't devalue a player, expose a weakness, provide info that could give an opposing club leverage in future negotiations and / or give them vital intel regarding a future match, but when dishonesty becomes the norm the relationship between cub and fan will surely deteriorate... in our particular case, our club has done an absolutely atrocious job when it comes to cultivating a healthy and honest relationship with the media or their fans, which has contributed greatly to our lack of success in the
transfer market... along with poor decisions involving weekly wages, we can't ever seem to get true market value for most of our outgoing players and other teams seem to squeeze every last cent out of us when we are looking to buy;
why wouldn't they, when you go to the table with such a openly desperate and dysfunctional team like ours, you have all the leverage; made even worse by the fact that who wouldn't want to see our incredibly arrogant and thrifty manager squirm during the process... the real issue at this club is respect, a word that appears to be entirely lost on those within our hierarchy... this is the starting
point from which all great relationships between club and supporters form... this doesn't mean that a team can't make mistakes along the way, that's just human nature, it's about how they chose to deal with these situations that will determine if this relationship flourishes or devolves..
