An other cryptic tweet from AFC...

Some day I hope to be able to comprehend a discussion thread on Twitter.

 

Don't see how that's cryptic?

 

Guesses?

 

Translation?

 

It was in response to him getting 6/6 on a trivia thing Arsenal had posted. No idea how that's cryptic.

 

Wtf is happening?

 

Aside from holding, nothing.

 

It looks like it's truly just about Rob Holding. If that's the case I propose we ban any mention or linking of this clown's tweets.

 

As if humanity wasn't dumb enough, our main source of news these days now has a character limit.

Ya, i gotcha. But it is and has worked. Chelsea are still taking loans from RA. A lot less recently, but still taking it. However, it's clear to see the growth that success has had for them. Afaik, lately RA has not influenced their commercial revenue. Despite having a smaller fan base, older stadium and little history until 2014 they've averaged 40-50% more commercial rev than us. We've leveled with them nearly, but with their new kit deals we will likely be 20-30 behind again next season.

 

Think so? Think he was being sarcastic?

 

Looks like we are moving on to the next step. Gazidis states we need to look in lower leagues, other could have more money, etc. Now we are publicly lowering expectations. Wash and repeat.

Never gets old. Arsene will get them to the promised top 4 land with 8 donkeys, a Czech, Mesut and Alexis. The rest is just business. I am sure it rubs on most players. They know as long as they get to top 4, all will be well.

 

Idk - I think he was referring to "stay close to Arsenal.com for any further news"

Is that normal language for the club's announcements?

I was hoping we'd sign Michael Holding instead, but total_football might explode if he knew who that was.

 

we weren't already doing this? 4 of our last 6 signings were from smaller leagues/clubs.

How much lower we gonna go than Wigan in league one, lens U19 squad and fc Basel?

 

I missed this quote from Gazidis. "We've got a squad now that we believe is capable of competing to win the Premier League. " Unbelievable.

 

Are there any more apologists still around with their blinders on. Let's all have a moment of silence and come to agreement that we are getting f'd again

 

Sounds like Icardi said No and he was the last major player AW was courting.

Do they really think the fans are stupid? If we are willing to pay 20 million for Vardy, everyone knows we need help at forward. How can they think we will forget about that. Everyone knows that Arteta and Rosicky were good players when available. As good as Xhaka is, it isn't pure upgrade. It's also replacing key players as well. It's not the lack of signings that really pisses me off, it's the lies and condescending attitude of Gazidis et al that try to shove this crap down our throats and expect us to believe it. All the fans know we need more. Don't patronize us with that crap about being good enough. Nothing about being accountable if we fall just short again while signing less than we needed.

Of course we have a squad capable of competing. We've had that the last few years. What we don't have is a squad capable of winning.

 

Annnnnd the apathy for me is now full blown. That statement by gazidis tells me all I need to know. We aren't getting anyone else or if we are, he will be very underwhelming. I'm done. I'm unwilling to put any effort in supporting this joke of a board and manager if they're unwilling to make an effort to win. I would imagine that I watch less than 5 games if that this whole season now...there's no point in watching or buying merchandise anymore. I can tell you how next season will go before the first kick of the ball. Ridiculous.

 

The summer is not yet over. Chill out. Wenger's come out and said we need players. Stop reading something into everything that someone says, it's not always well thought out signalling.

 

He said we needed 2-3 players. Just like last summer:

From last summer about a year ago. And then he signed no one...

This summer he's said we will try to sign 2-3 players. By my count we are at 2 and Gazidis is now lowering expectations.

We all know AW will not overpay for some midlevel attacker. So that leaves either a sonogoesque gamble or an elite higuainesque signing. Based on Gazidis' comments, I can only see the latter happening on deadline day if there are some serious dominos falling circa bale-ozil. I'm not excited about sonogo 2.0 but it's depth at least. But surely we could have got that done so the lad could have these preseason games and help until Giroud and Sanchez are back.

Whatever the case, I think apathy is the order for the day.

 

This might be the most frustrating part to me- the fact that the team's shortcomings are usually so easily identifiable, often by Wenger himself but they aren't filled.

Arsenal fans were asking for a Xhaka-like player for how long? 10 years?

And now, even Wenger recognizes that we need more goals (thusly the ham-handed attempt at Vardy).

It's the fact that the team has had money for a few years now and STILL cannot fill the holes that even Wenger recognizes exist.

 

Well, if things continue the way they're looking. Next summer is going to hugely suck.
