Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Tel001]

You do realise that Dave is joking 99.99% of the time ?

Aren't jokes meant to be funny though?

Meanwhile, Wenger has insisted that Olivier Giroud will fight for his place at Arsenal rather than leave after the arrival of record £52m record signing Alexandre Lacazette. That will disappoint Everton who want Giroud.

Wenger added: “Giroud fancies the competition. As a manager, you have him on your back, wanting to play.

“He fights hard, you know. I like the way he responds to what’s happening. He is focused and determined and showed that on this tour.



On to the next we go lads.

Well not all, because you're not.

No there hasn't mate, it's the same old WUM tripe from the same old people, tedious as hell!

One or two need to go outside and talk to a female of our species!

I get what you're saying mate. I guess I am just in a pretty good mood tonight so am choosing to see the humour in people's posts rather than perceive tongue in cheek comments as wummery

Wenger as said that sort of thing through out pre season but Giroud as been more realistic and said he could leave so this could be one of them that goes to the last hours IF we're wiling to wait on him?!....

You are conflating "joking" and "being a joke."

A week to go to the season start for us, and three until the PL kicks off. We now have an attack that has no firepower.

Even if I say so myself, I cant help think this was a prescient piece: https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/are-we-going-to-end-up-with-a-pop-gun-attack.97318/

Sandro is going to score a load of goals and make you look stupid, so it's ok.

 

[a bell maul]

I don't realise that. He's playing up to a persona and will post things to get a reaction but the original belief which underpins the persona (Bobby is a better manager than Koeman) is sincerely held.

IMHO.

I thought Bobby was a totally inept manager. And I'm not joking!

We need to stop messing about chasing that ponce Giroud and throw £35 million on the table and get Batshuyai or Benteke in.

Why would Chelsea sell their back up Striker?

 

[davek]

No idea what you mean.

Ha Ha Ha.

 

[Zezti]

Think any possibility of getting Giroud would be out of the window if we failed our qualifier on Thursday. Can't imagine he would go without European football.

 

[davek]

How can you declare Kieran Dowell the scouse Messi in 1 thread and then say we have a pop gun attack in another.

You want it to be 1 way, but its the other way.

Dowell is a youngster coming through and not an out and out striker.

 

[davek]

No firepower? Except for England's and also utd's all time record goalscorer!

Not saying we don't need a striker but seriously..

It looks very insipid upfront.

As said, I reckon he'll now go with a false nine nonsense formation. It'll be a calamity.

You'd get neither of them for that amount
