July 1st is coming & we have nothing to shout about!
Its getting closer to the opening day of the transfer window & with Arsenal having no big business done, YET, we may have to face facts that Alexis will leave. Especially if he doesn’t see us competing for the best players and trying to convince him we are going for the League. He wants to stay to be the main man, its so obvious, but this is a Van Persie situation all over again. RVP wanted us to invest heavily but Arsenal refused & let him go to Man Utd to go on win them their record 20th League title to end Fergie’s glittering Career. Were we not promised CHANGE? Please don’t say Kolasanic is a great as he hasn’t proved a thing – plus a Wenger special…. Free! I hope I am wrong and he turns out to be an animal, but for me this just spells the end for Gibbs at Arsenal.
Few more should be gone in Wilshere, Debuchy, Ospina, Walcott, Elneny, Campbell & Giroud or Perez not both. Keep Ramsey, Ox, Welbz, Szczesney also.
We have not been told a thing of whats going on in transfer dept & coaching dept… where are all these changes? We will keep falling behind & losing our best players if we don’t do something before this window opens. Deals need to be in place now to show our ambition – with new big signings & contracts for Ox, Ozil & Alexis.
Why not go out slap down the 60m for a PROVEN STRIKER in Aubameyang than over 120m+ on an 18yr old? He would come with the big wages we can offer….
Then go slap another 40m for Isco. Guarantee him loads of game time, with him & Ramsey scrapping it out to play alongside Xhaka/Coq – would love a DM in the form of Gueye from Everton would be my pick to take Elneny’s place. Premier League experience is vital for what we need. Fabregas would also be a fantastic addition, but loads of fans hate him too much. I still like the guy. He’s a great footballer no matter what he did to Arsenal, oh yeah go home to where we snapped him from, basically for free.
Same thing is going to happen again with the fans making The Emirates toxic to go watch & for the players to play. That played a part in our downfall this campaign. I want more than anything else to get behind The Arsenal but it just feels like this is all going to be deja vu as we have seen the same thing over and over again. It is very disheartening this whole situation at Arsenal. Other clubs are getting their business done why the hell can’t we??
Show ambition by being smart not stupid, over £120m for an 18yr old teenager who will eventually want to go when he starts to come good is not good business to me one bit. A few players have called Arsenal a stepping stone in the past, Mbappe will do same thing- mark my words. That money could buy you Auba 60m, Isco 40m, Gueye 20m. Wages come available with the players who leave from the list above plus whatever fees they command. I simply don’t get how it’s so difficult as every other club does it.
For God’s sake Arsene & the board – get the signings in early for preseason to show ambition to our own already star players to sign bloody new deals. Get them all together and let’s have a proper crack at this title maybe even a nice run in Europa League. Do that & maybe The Emirates will actually become our proper home as the fans would be buzzing again!!
