This whole month has been taken up with the Arsenal hierarchy negotiating with Barcelona to try and get them to all ow Denis Suarez to arrive, and recently we have also been closely linked with Ivan Perisic, but according to the Gunners coach Unai Emery, we are still a long way from confirming either arrival.
When asked directly about our how many arrivals he was expecting, the boss said: “Nil or possibly two. Between nil and two.”
And then the report on Arsenal.com went on to ask Emery about our individual targets, and he was a little bit more forthcoming than usual….
on Ivan Perisic and whether we’ve made an approach…
It’s one thing the club is working on, the possibility with different players. I don’t know exactly which players, but it’s players with the possibility to help us who can play on the wing, right or left.on whether Perisic wants to join the club…
I think all the players who can come here and help us is good news.on Denis Suarez…
It’s the same. This transfer is not easy and the message is that the club is working on different players. The possibility, if it can be [done], is good for us.on his confidence of making new signings…
I don’t know because this transfer window is not easy. I know the club is doing all they can to achieve one player to help us.on whether he’d be disappointed if there were no signings…
No, because we were speaking about these possibilities two months ago but we know it’s not easy.on how many players he hopes to sign before the end of the week…
Nil or possibly two. Between nil and two. If they aren’t coming to help us like we want, then we would prefer them to not come. Two because we are looking at two different players who have the possibility to come here.
That doesn’t sound very promising at all, and It is even more worrying that we are only looking at wingers, when we have so many defensive injuries, but we already know there will be no defenders coming in.
It looks like we have already written off this season, but I can’t see us building for next season either….
