Obviously people wishing for the team to lose is ludicrous, but you can surely understand why people were livid with the lack of transfer business, especially considering how much talk we gave it after we qualified for the CL.

And I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams expected us to pull off signing a truly world class player in Ozil on the last day of the window.

I expected it

Samir, there is a way to express yourself without going to the extremes these lot did. Irrational abuse is never necessary in my opinion.

Do you know what if means?

You seemed to have pipe down about Wenger. Be consistent you fickle mess.

Hahaha whenever I criticise him I get called plastic and if I don't criticise him I am fickle.

The truth is he had a shambolic transfer window masked by a shrewd signing in Flamini and an inspirational signing in Ozil. He has done very well with the squad at his disposal thus far so I can't criticise him at the moment but as far as I am concerned he is fighting for a new contract at the moment and unless he shows come May that he can take us forward he won't be given one. Simple as.

Yes if Wenger listened to us years ago he would have bought us world class players like we wanted.

you sound like a spoilt kid. We built a new stadium and were competing with sugar daddy owners. the club was always said that we couldn't compete with the richest clubs but things would get better.. and some fans just chose not to believe it and thought we were in endless decline.

''I expected it''

It's hard to tell when you're being serious or not.

''Samir, there is a way to express yourself without going to the extremes these lot did. Irrational abuse is never necessary in my opinion.''

I agree. But football fans have a tendency to act impulsively.

Sahin and Schwarzer are examples of the World Class players you wanted Bats?

posted on 20/10/13

They are players that would have improved us.

You were called plastic because you wanted your own team to lose and admitting putting bets on us to get beat. Sticky by your guns. If you're going to abuse him during the bad times stick with your opinion when we are doing well because deep down you still think he will fail.

The truth is he had a shambolic transfer window masked by a shrewd signing in Flamini and an inspirational signing in Ozil. He has done very well with the squad at his disposal thus far so I can't criticise him at the moment but as far as I am concerned he is fighting for a new contract at the moment and unless he shows come May that he can take us forward he won't be given one.

Turned out to be a great transfer window with the Ozil signing. Like I said it is not his fault that the selling clubs didn't want to sell his targets. He offered enough money for the likes of Suarez and Bender. Also whether you like it or not the board will offer him a new contract regardless what happens this season whether he accepts or not is another thing but that is because he is a honourable man and not the money grabber you made him out to be.

People who abused the club and manager non-stop during the transfer window don't deserve to see us doing well

we bought in quality players in that time anyway, you can't buy everyone. It's not really about individual players anyway but more the direction of the club. We were slated for not having ambition but we are the most ambitious club in the league. The ambition of the board was always to make us one of the biggest clubs in the world which is happening now, it just look a bit longer without a sugar daddies billions.

Yeah that Sahin was a huge success at Liverpool and no Schwarzer wouldn't have improved us at all.

Batmaonu remember you saying Spurs are miles ahead of us and are guaranteed to finish above us this season just a couple of months ago. You changed your mind on that as well?

No club wants to sell their best players. You have to make offers that the selling club is willing to accept. Sometimes we have sold players for ridiculous offers just for the sake of it. We could have signed Suarez/Cabaye if not for poor offers. Same with Higuain, our dithering cost us and Napoli came in and gave Madrid what they wanted.

Ozil's signing is the first sign of ambition the club has shown in nearly a decade.

building a new stadium new stadium was the most ambitious thing we did and it's starting to pay off.

Nope, I said 'with this squad' (being the squad that went into the Villa game), they and Liverpool were better than us. Now we have signed Ozil and Flamini which means we can compete with them. There is still the chance they can finish ahead of us though because they have a great squad.

So why didn't you wait until the end of the transfer window before saying re.tarded things and being a reactionary as usual?

It's all well and good saying 'we were bad at the time' 'it didn't look like we could at the time' etc, the fact is that's why you get behind the team instead of making assumptions and being a miserable all the time

You're a bit like Sheriff Batmoanu, you love bigging up Spurs. It's almost like you want them to finish ahead of us...

Why should I have waited until the end of the transfer window? We should have made our signings before the season started. The defeat at home to Villa was inexcusable and mostly down to negligence from Wenger and his blind faith in our squad.

I am not bigging them up at all. They have a great squad and whether you want to admit it or not, they will be in direct competition for us whether it be for the title or 4th spot.

yeah, saying they could challenge for the title isn't bigging them up at all

they're more likely to get relegated than challenge for the title

posted on 20/10/13

No I don't look like a retárd. Everything I said at the time was spot on. Wenger does not plan ahead. I don't know why it's so hard for you to admit it.
