That just about describes the people who run the club perfectly.
Not really I usually back the players if the talents there. Problem is we have too many players at the moment like Iwobi and AMN where Iām not convinced they are good enough. Iāve seen enough of Perisic in the past to know what weād be getting, granted I havenāt watched him this year in Italy but Iām he wouldnāt be the first attacker to embrace a change of scenery.
I suppose it all depends on how he performs if we were to sign him, however, considering what happened with Mhki Iām wary tbh.
I feel a lot of what is going on with mkhy is mental. Heās always been such a talented player but he doesnāt look like heās enjoying football any more. I suppose being used as a human bargaining chip for that prick Alexis would be a blow to the morale but hopefully he can come back strong in the next few weeks and save us from Iwobi.
To be fair we have gone through more failures, with our transfers, than almost any other top club in Europe in recent seasons, so I donāt think our expectation levels are any higher than many other supporters.
In fact it is more likely our expectation levels have dropped quite considerably.
We have been in an almost perpetual period of transition since we moved to the Emirates, and rather than getting better players and moving forwards, we are doing the opposite.
Basically every team has to buy players experienced or potential wise and see what happens. Always been this way. Some work out and some dont.
The manager has a ton of shite on his hands here and has to be allowed to put his mark on the side. Unlike Wenger he and any future manager will be answerable.
Its a massive job and we where and are going to be extremely lucky to get this right first time round.
So yeah if he wants Perisic and Suarez he is entitled to propose them as its what he will get judged on.
Like we all have our issues of how many bad players we want out of here. The simple reality is he and us have to put up with a percentage of them as the squad is that weak.

But think of all the money weāre saving for when Emery starts splashing the 200m on building a title challenging team in the next window 
No shame whatsoever in this approach.
The cautious attitude is be praised if anything after a series of expensive, not value of for money deals. We obviously have the capacity to pay big in a few months time
Sorry, Iāve just realised I put on an extra zero.
That should have read 20m 
Maybe after brexit that 200m could buy us one of Wengerās Barca prospects.

This approach didnāt work with us on Barca with Suarez and itās not looking promising here. Donāt blame them either, our proposals are so desperate on the face of it that theyād be idiots to accept.
Someone wake me up in 5 days please.
I wonder if we tried this approach for someone we do actually want. In a loan+Option or staggered payment type affair from the beginning of Jan?
Weāre hoping teams will give us charity and sweetheart deals, itās just naive tbh.
Personally think where still trying to sort a direction out in boardroom and not ready to buy players yet.
I know its a mess but getting resigned to the fact that the whole clubs in transition and where going to have to suck it up till they do.
Problem is there is no quick fix. Sort your own mess out then you have to play catch up with the rest.
Going to take a mixture of sorting ourselves and luck and reversals at the the other five for progress to happen anytime soon.
