Eh, could have been worse.
 
Bungie was right, Van Gaal is going to brute force a good team. It's unbalanced as all hell but you just need to score one more than the other dudes to get the points.
 
Honestly. Yeah, the defence still looks weak but how anyone can come to the conclusion that our midfield is still shit are kidding themselves


Blind, Herrera, Di Maria >>>>> Fletcher, Anderson, Cleverley

no matter how you slice it
 
Pretty annoyed at the attacking quality United added. They probably won't be very good this year due to midfield and defensive issues, but they've laid the groundwork and will improve those next time around.

Fuck.
 
BBC report the option to buy is at £43m.

Will add to the £4m we paid this year so it'll most likely be around £47m if we go through with the permanent deal.
 
15 August 2014: the day Arsenal died. Bendtner leaving is the reason for all our woes.

Until that day: 10 July 2014-Alexis | 17 July 2014-Debuchy | 27 July 2014-ospina | 28 July 2014-Chambers |

You only came to see Bendtner was never so true, after he left, noone wants to join us.

He was the reason Ozil was so good to begin with: 1 January 2014, Bendtner injures ankle, and from then on Ozil's performances diminish significantly.

I want to cry. Fucking wallback. Can't hit the fucking barn door. Come back bb.

It's weird being from Manchester myself you'd think I'm gutted about Welbeck leaving. I'm really not, at all. The only thing he had going for him was that he was a local lad.
 
England's next left back for the next ten years.
A Spanish prospect who drove Bilbao to the Champions League.
A young versatile centre back fresh off a good World Cup and club season.
The Eredivisie's player of the year, jack of all trades and favourite of van Gaal.
A world class winger/centre midfielder and MOTM in the Champions League final.
Rumbo.

how have we simultaneously had a fucking stupendous window and a shit one :lol :lol :lol

No dedicated centre midfielder in the vein of Vidal, Strootman, Kroos, Fabregas.
No experienced, top class centre back.
Keeping Young, Cleverley and Anderson.
Selling Shinji and Welbeck.
Losing Evra.

Essentially all correct
 
January can't come quick enough. What a defensive mess we have here.

GK - Szczesny, Ospina, Martinez (This is okay)

Defenders - Koscleiny, Mertesacker, Debuchy, Gibbs, Monreal, Chambers (This is horrendous shallow) We've got Debuchy suspended for the Dortmund game, so if Per or Kos get injured or if Kos doesn't recover in time we have Monreal playing CB against Reus? Oh Goodie I can't wait for that.

D Midfielders - Arteta, Flamini (Wenger WTF!)

CM - Wilshere, Ramsey are the specialists but many can play here.

AM/Wingers/Striker - Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski, Welbeck, Sanogo, Chamberlain, Sanchez, Walcott, Campbell, Giroud, Gnabry, Rosciky


So we basically have Campbell and Podolski who looking at that won't get a game or hardly any game time but we're a Kos or Per injury away from Monreal playing CB and 2 injuries away from calling an Under 21 player into the starting 11. WTF WTF WTF WTF.
 
What a failure of a transfer window. I think Shanks is the only sane Arsenal fan here.

Wenger fucked up this window.

Fuck Welbeck, he's shit.

Still no DM and CB.

We should've been in for Falcao.

Don't think we should've been in for Falcao - crazy money, and a huge risk. I'm still baffled as to why we couldn't sign a CB though.
