So how is everyone feeling over transfer activity

[Toronto Gooner]

In theory there is less standing in the way when he decides its time to bankroll a trophy or two.

Equally, there is less in the way to prevent him from taking money out of the club (aka cash cow) to pay for some of his other business ventures.

While you and I may dislike/despise those old Etonians, the fact remains that those families (Hill Woods, Bracewell Smiths and Carrs) were involved with running Arsenal F.C. from the 1930s. They have shown a level of commitment to the club that should be acknowledged and, yes, celebrated.

Sure, but while they don't need to do what some of the clubs - manu, chavs, citeh, etc - have done, they still needed to make some amount of movement and they have failed in that area. Maybe the transfer market prices are not what they should be but we have to live in the real world and occasionally buy even if the price makes you wince. You can resist some of it but not everything.

Yep, perhaps Kroenke will act to replace some on the board??

Well it depends what happens on the Football field, if we miss out on Top 4 then the policy may change. Even if we don't, obviously Stan wants to see a return on his investment but right now it might be a case of "If it aint broke don't try and fix it", I'm not saying I agree with it but that's how I see Silent Stan's stance at the moment.

sure I was pushed. Who wants to leave a club that is so dear to one's heart. Hopefully I will be back. I do have a good relationship with SK. Fingers crossed.

She wants a seat back on the board 2 minutes after saying the rest of them have nothing to offer.

Will be interesting if she's put back on

Since when are players like Samba, Sakho, Ciani, Van der Wiel, M Diarra, Toulalan fantasy players?

If they Wenger must have turned us into a nothing club. We should be able to sign all of those to be honest.

The rest may be more difficult other than Subotic maybe. All those mickey mouse signings he's made have clearly lowered expectations on what we should be able to attract.

Completely agree. 60,000 sold out stadium weekly, highest ticket prices in the prem, one of the highest profiting teams in the world says we are a big club. No reason why we could not afford the players in your original list or why they wouldnt want to come here.

The Wenger project is the only reason why we arent buying players like those. To reiterate what others have said, it will be usual Wenger business this transfer window. We'll see our best player leave and a few new faces will come in, however they wont be the quality we need. Talented, experienced players cost a little more money and we all know Wenger isnt the type to pay that little bit extra.

IIRC she inherited her shares from her dead husband. Doubt she did fuck all when she was a board member apart from get considerably richer.
