What Pepe saga?
Whatever the fuck Arteta is doing to him

Thatâs a real disappointment because it shows the club isnât prepared to be proactive or at least acknowledge that sometimes circumstances dictate a tweak to a strategy.
I have no doubt they assumed they could make it through this season, get EL football, shed more contracts and then build. But that would require ignoring some glaring issues that came up this season.
I think theyâre really worried about making a mistake in the market which is admirable, but caution can slide into dithering which I think is evident if you look at the profiles of the three strikers we were chasing in January.

This club feels dead
cause of death: covid-19
Thatâs kind of how I saw it during the summer and going into the beginning of the season. I could say there is no ambition because the Kroenkeâs and Arteta are helping each other to be comfy and in a bit of a bubble, but then again when I think it through we did go for Vlahovic, and Isak and DCL are probably a level down from him, no guarantees when it comes to potency and efficiency as CFâs, so we shouldnât be paying over the odds for either, and the CM options mentioned are not awe-inspiring either.
I canât say we havenât tried this window, and I still hope for something happening on transfer deadline day, but unless we can find good loan deals, esp. to temporarily cover for CM, I donât really want any signings not considered long term top quality signings. No more Willianâs.
I feel like youâre really letting the club off the hook here. We knew CM was an issue in the summer. We didnât address it.

Window SLAMS THE CUNT SHUT on Monday at 11pm.
There is going to be hysteria and panic at London Colney on Monday.
6 month loan offer for Danny Ings. ÂŁ8m loan fee. Or ÂŁ35m for SĂ©bastien Haller.
I feel that weâll add to the squad, but it will be hugely underwhelming and probably a rip off
People keep talking about top 6 but with our squad as it is right now, 6th is nowhere near guaranteed. Weâre 2 points from 8th ffs.
The club has decided Aubameyang isnât an Arsenal player anymore and thatâs a significant loss to a squad. He was our starting striker at the start of the year. Anyone will do in a pinch but to not bring anyone in to cover his loss would be complete fucking negligence.

Iâm finding all this a bit weird at the moment, it doesnât look as if nothing is happening for anyone this January in the premiership, but having had a look whatâs going on in Italy there seems to be a bit of movement.
Now my understanding is football in Italy is suffering due to covid and lack of money within each club, and the premiership clubs seem reluctant to splash out .
Is there a serious lack of talent out there that wants to come to England?
Iâm going to go ahead and partially blame Brexit too

Remember when the club decided to loan Ainsley and Kola out leaving us with Tierney as the only LB at the club for the remainder of the season?
That went well .
We do have Tavares and Cedric as backup fullbacks.
Bigger issue is we went from having enough centre backs to stock Walmart for 5 years, to having only 3.

Yeah, I wasnât pointing at the current fullback state.
Moreso pointing that we are short at CB and ST. This can really backfire if shit goes south.
