It's just so strange that it's been allowed to happen this way

I wouldn't get too cocky. Going on recent evidence, they might be saying the same thing about us.
Mata says he didn't want to sign for either us or Spuds as he wanted to win trophies, so chose Chelsea.
If we don't get through tomorrow I can see no-one arriving at all and certain players starting to itch to leave. Even if we do, who knows if there's still time to get anyone like Hazard.
I just don't see where the goals are coming from, which is a big worry. Plus some of our best players like Sagna is going to get fed up with having to play out of position. It could even affect his place in the french team.
As for young players, Man Utd showed last night what bringing through young players successfully looks like.
So long Champions League football
We are royally ****ed unless we sign some players
Lose and it's a long way back to the Champions League as we won't be able to sign the level of players who could get us back there again.
Key players layers like RVP and Sagna who aren't far off 30 surely aren't going to want to stick around as they will want to finish their careers at the highest level.
Then at the next stage players like Wilshere and Chesney who won't get itchy feet straight away but at some point in the next 3/4 years when Man City or whoever come calling may decide they need to further their career with a move away.
And all the time AW will be bringing in the cream of the worlds 16/17/18 year old for a future that may not be there..
Losing tomorrow is a massive slippery slope and it's just not an option.
I may be clutching at straws here...
Arsenal are linked with another lightweight playmaker.
Although Hazard is an extremely good player, Arsenal do not need him.
If you lot sign him i don't think i'll be able to lift myself from off the floor from laughing so hard.
How can you say they 'don't need him' when they've just sold Fabregas AND Nasri. While the cliché talk of Arsenal needing backbone, experience and spine is not untrue, they are now lacking in midfield for the first time in a while creatively. Two major assist and goal scoring players, they have replaced only one with Gervinho. Though i'm not sure Hazard is the man, Ramsey is not ready to fill in for the great Fab.
Nobody should be any doubt as to what defeat could mean for our club. Liverpool have spent their way out, we will not do the same. Lose tomorrow and it could be a long time before we get back in again.
Good riddance Nasri.
Am I the only one getting very bored with opposition fans coming on here and having a pop. :rolleyes:
Aaaaaaarrggh. He's even bloody worse than Theo. :mad:
Exactly now we've sold our 2 best players (certainly one) we need attacking options, we cant score goals at the moment.
Was our best player during the pre-season... alot of fans want him to stay, however, I can't see him settling in as a squad player.
I see old Arsene has replaced the old mental strength with 'strength mentally'.......;)
I dread to think what's going to happen tomorrow if we don't show some bloody mental strength??? And we can titter at the Spuds being bottom of the league, after Man U on the weekend that could very well be us!
Arsenal will get through to the group stages.
We don't need to imagine the worst.. now it's HERE! Leaving transfers til after Wed is stupid!
I feel genuinely sorry for you guys seeing how downtrodden Arsene has become and how poorly your club has faired in this transfer window.
From a neutral looking in i just cannot understand the logic of trying to keep Fabregas or Nasri when it was blatent that both wanted out the minute last season was over.
Yes Nasri is probably good riddance as are the other players you have sold to Citeh over the last few seasons, all gold diggers thats for sure.
But with just over 7 days left of the transfer window who do you realistically see yourselves signing?
The problem Arsenal have now is that everyone knows you have money to spend from the Fab and Nasri money, so there will be a standard price for a player but an elevated price for Arsenal now because other clubs will know they are desperate.
On Sundays game, i actually think you may get a draw. I think the press will slaughter you this week (especially if you go out tomorrow) which will halp galvanise your team spirit.
Anyway good luck for tomorrows game
