Mattoon Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It wouldn't be such a problem if we were casting our net with the transfer money. Everyone understands we're a selling club now and a stepping stone for potential talent, it's just that Fatshit keeps shoving the money down his elasticated waste band instead of reinvesting to keep us ticking along, the fat sweaty mess. The idea should be to cash in, reinvest and slowly turn the team around, there's no need to "do a Leeds" if we just reinvest the inflated transfer fees we get for the likes of Cabaye and Debuchy. Instead the money keeps disappearing up the horizontally challenged ones black hole. Nothing over inflated about either fees tbh In comparison to purchase fees I meant sorry, both are worth more than the fees we allowed them to leave for.

Dinho lad Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Wonder who will be the first dickhead to claim £10m was an exceptional offer that was too good to turn down. :pardew: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Quite the double signing for Arsenal really, all credit to them tbh. Best of luck to Debuchy too, no ill feelings towards him whatsoever and if we're being brutally honest, he's doing the right thing by moving. He's not going to get anywhere here.

Ketsbaia Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We're delaying this deal until we've signed a replacement, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Doesn't even make sense anyway, are they seriously suggesting we could decide to keep Debuchy at this point? If we were serious about this concept, any replacement would have been here weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The whole 'selling Colback to West Ham' story seems to be a lot more believable right now. Ashley's whole approach to negotiating with other clubs appears to be based on the strategy of 'I know you are, but what am I?'. And then calling out their mommas.

Skeletor Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Every player is bought to be sold on as quickly as possible. Unfortunately for Fatshley some of them turn out to be Gosling or Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Carr has a fucking boat load of players on the docket that get knocked far down the list due to personal ambitions and all that. I think of Carr's role as a deal person who sources real estate deals, and you have a specific criteria, and you my friend, Disco - know exactly what the criteria is.... SO he's hand cuffed essentially. But all jokes aside we just seem to only go after need players to fill gaps. Right back sold? Sign new right back. Striker gone? Sign Striker. All reactionary and cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need a manager far better than Alan fucking Pardew to mould such an ever-changing first team into something sustainable. And that's why he's our manager of course.

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 replacement in first thats new, we'll see I suppose But we haven't have we, we've sold Debuchy but as it stands an offer for Janmaat hasn't been accepted. Now say we bid and it's turned down, Debuchy gets annouced to Arsenal and we are back to normal pretending to try to sign someone before the window slams shut.

Unbelievable Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 If only Kanji. More like striker sold, go without replacement for over a year, midfielder sold, do no replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
