Summer Transfer Temps and Journeymen

[I am invisible]

Anyone else starting to feel like this AMN and Martinez stuff might all be staged so we have some “good news” to announce on the final day of the window when it turns out our CM for the season is Xhaka and Elneny?

In the grand scheme of things, I just can't get that excited about it. These players live in a different world to us now. I used to drink down at the pub with half the Arsenal team, a long time ago. It's all changed, some say for the better - I'm not so sure. I was invested back then because I felt part of it, in a small way. But still connected. Now, it's just stuff that gets reported in the fake news media. We have no way of knowing the reality, one way or the other. But it does seem, in the absence of hard information, guessing is our best bet.

And even when it all pans out, whatever players are on the pitch, it's not entertaining. Back, back, sideways, back. The odd moment when one of the tiny number of genuine players like Auba sweeps it into the net. I'll admit, I jumped up and was engaged again when he did that. But it's so rare now. Scraps.

If they stay, if they go. I don't think it really makes much of a difference.

Auba has signed. Apparently.

Starting to think we may not sign him after all

Auba has signed. Apparently.

Won't believe it till it's on the BBC

Funniest headline ive yet seen this season. "United beat off Spurs to land Van den Beek" What shit are they smoking at the toilet bowl?

[GP]

Dawson's Creek was shit.

[Marc Overmars]

Auba has signed. Apparently.

I think it is done too, otherwise he surely would have been sold to raise money.

Best signing we could make this summer quite frankly. Without him there’s no chance we can even think about moving forward.

What you're missing is still around, you've just gotta go down the leagues to get it.

Messi hasn’t reported for training because he doesn’t consider himself part of the squad anymore.

Burning his bridges, just let him go tbf.
