What you’ve missed while worrying about Suarez…
Ever since Arsenal last went on a victory parade in 2005, every summer has seen at least one member of Arsene Wenger’s regular starting eleven say goodbye to the Gunners.
From the Vieira to Van Persie deals, some of the final handshakes in these departures have been with mutual consent while the rest have been ill-fated. But whether you viewed them as a big miss or good riddance, the exits of these players have had a thing or two to do with disrupting the team chemistry.
For every summer in the past eight barren years, Arsenal has been the selling club and every new season has been about transition and moving on from ‘traitors’.
But it seems like bold £40m bids are not the only thing different about this summer and here is why…
2005
Patrick Vieira
2006
Ashley Cole, Robert Pires and Sol Campbell
2007
Thierry Henry
2008
Mathieu Flamini and Alex Hleb
2009
Emmanuel Adebayor
2010
William Gallas
2011
Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri
2012
Alex Song and Your Dutch mate
2013

I love my cock between big tits
Hahahahahahahaha is that all you have got old boy? 🙂
Give le Boss the benefit of doubt. Signing players is not the same as fishing in a pond, it takes time. Just imagine how a little clause is delaying the Suárez sale. The window is still very much open and Suárez (God willing) will be an Arsenal player come September the 2nd and we will sign more. Have faith.
let buy luiz n felani first
I know wenger he won’t sign any player. If is to sell and receive money he wil be fast about that. But to spend and buy quality players. That is not in his agenda.
Can you explain how you ‘know’ Wenger won’t sign anyone? Do you work for the club or is it just a feeling? In which summer transfer window did Wenger not sign any players? You say quality players aren’t on his agenda? Do you think Cazorla is not quality? I thought our problem was selling our quality players ? Did he not buy them form somewhere or am i missing something?
he needs to flash the cash soon or not only he but all arsenal fans will be losing confidence in the club. If there is the cash to spend then spend it now and buy star players so they have time to settle in the squad, i fear Wenger will miss out on all quality AGAIN. seems its getting typical transfer window for us fans, cash or no cash
Tammy i understand what you are saying but while taking time we have missed Higuain AND Jovetic Both star quality players does this not beg the question why?
Jovetic is not worth the money Fiorentina were asking.
We decided to go for Suarez instead of Higuain.
It’s always as ‘Arsenal miss out’ or ‘…snubs Arsenal’ when we decide not to pursue a player.
Funny that, other than R*P, none of these players have gone on to be more successful at their new clubs (and the jury’s still out on R*P). It’s amazing how impatient Arsenal fans are…notice that, except maybe for ManCity, none of the big English clubs have rushed out and signed top-level stars.
Thats not really the point though is it? The galling thing is that we have always been a few players too short. We never compliment our top players with fellow quality. Its a game of partnerships.
gunners til eternity. Y r all arsenal fans surprised dat d club have nt sign any player. Mr wenger wont sign any quality players bt rada sign quantity. He wil only be bidding in order to make d fans happy wereas he knew dat he wont sign at all. He has done dat several years ago.
Perhaps if you wrote in English people might take you a bit more seriously
Why do you try typing a comment in his native language??
But could this be because the other teams do not need top-level stars as they already have them, apart from the odd one, we don’t 🙁
Chelsea have mata, hazard, even oscar is looking good
Man Utd have (gulp) R*P, Kagawa who is looking good and for now mardy rooney etc etc this i think is a concern don’t you? this does make me wonder how patient arsenal fans have to be 🙁
OUR star players go, they aren’t proven stars when signed
We make them and sell them we are turning into a feeder club patience is wearing thin how can we not push for trophies for 8 years! There is no settling in season or 2 if they are good enough they will deliver.
What’s the panick all about, the world is still spinning.
We have a team that can hit the ground running as we saw from the end of the season, whoever we buy will not be expected to do the same. That’s why it’s a slow process, to unsettle him so he doesn’t want to stay then we move in. We are used to simple quick easy squad purchases that are cheap, but spending over £40m on someone takes time. That’s my take on it while I enjoy the sunny morning we have…
Nothing we can do but wait and see what becomes of our beloved club.
Sometimes I wish I could switch my allegiance but my blood won’t accept anything without ‘guns’ flowing through it. I will like to believe that one day(soon) we will taste victory because I am starting to forget what victory feels like. I married to Arsenal football club and one bloody day (Wenger or not)she will deliver!
I am married…”
You forgot Ashley Cole, left in 2006 for Chelski
Thanks mate. It almost feels like he’s been a blue scum all his career.
To be honest, there’s no one left worth buying from you lot.
I luv want wenger is doing ,he will be a good signing
For all those who r moaning out here ahould 1st check the clubs annual reports… we had a huge debt which at one moment was difficult ro pay because of clubs low commercial deals… + rvp nasri and flamini left 4 money… fabregas wanted to go back to his childhood club still wenger blocked that move for season…recently jesus navas said that he snubbed afc in 2010 ….wenger always tried to sign quality players but was never in condition to pay more transfer fees or wages. ..
2013: Gervinho. Chamakh. Your Korean mate. (Hopefully)
I see what u mean by this though, its a beautiful thing
Wenger might be mad!he should go!!
Wenger will not buy any big name player !!!
Most important thing is the club must not loose any key players. this has been by far the most damaging aspect of the club. its actually possible to have no incomings but a good season. but its much more difficult to have a good season when you have you best one or two best players leave.
Now that’s just depressing:
Traitor and Legend FC (Outfield Players)
Flamini-Gallas-Campbell-Cole
Hleb-Fabregas-Vieira-Pires
Henry-Van Persie
Subs: Adebayor, Song, Nasri
Too many ‘fans’ still expect transfers to be like shopping at the supermarket. Just because you offer money it doesnt mean you will buy anything. Its a bit more like nailing jelly to the wall than that.
Some clubs wont sell to AFC to stop us getting stronger. Some players will want bigger wages, even if the transfer price is agreed. Some contracts are so complicated that I dont blame anyone for walking away.
The idea that any of us KNOW what Wenger is thinking or trying is ridiculous.
Guys relax, Suarez is on his way, Fellaini following some time soon, money flowing into the coffers, there is only one direction AFC are headed.
i think you guys are missing the tell tell signs. i do believe wenger might just suprise us all with one huge mega signing.
He has almost saved us almost 260,000 pounds in salary payment by releasing arshavin, denilson, santos, squilac and from their contract. he is making all that room for a big signing or two
I knew dat u can still do something better.
gunners relax, Wenger ‘ll deliver this season
Perish the thought if Jack doesn’t start well or Ox or Ryo, or Cazorla looks tired after his summer excursions.
hello how r u MR .Wenger me club join
