The same West Ham whose supporters like to mimic gas chamber noises when they play Spurs and made slant eye gestures at Son Heung-Min? Shocked, I tells ya.

I don’t disagree....although City could have bid before deadline day if they were really serious. But definitely Wenger gambled and lost.

I think Wenger had this grand plan to have two teams, one for Europa and one for the PL. The Europa team did their job but the PL team just isn’t working. Then when there are injuries, Sanchez transfer speculation and rumored dressing room disharmony, it all fell apart. A few times the team looked like a collection of…

Are you ESL or what?

Well nothing left to do but see how it shakes out. I don’t see winning it without going through one or two of those teams at least.

Considering you took one part of my comment to focus on feel free to read the whole comment at your leisure.

I think Auba is cup tied, but pretty sure Mhki isn’t since Dortmund dropped down and MU didn’t. I did check those links before but figure I’ll wait until they put the team lists out.

My understanding was that the player is only cup tied for the same competition...to since Mhki and Auba didn’t play in the Europa they shouldn’t be cup tied (see the reports of Mhki having to wear a different number because Alexis already wore #7)....just as Alexis isn’t cup tied for CL matches with Man United....I…

They haven’t played yet....so I think he would be available but I seriously don’t know. The last time I tried to figure this out I got it all messed up.

Oh, you may be right....i forgot they dropped down....

Yeah....there were even whispers of Arsenal trying to get David Luiz as a part of the Giroud deal...imagine that....

Just like the so called biggest club in the world Manchester United did? Why not. Either believe in your team or go home.

I don’t disagree with you but I think Evans is injured.

Shout me at the end of the season when we’ve actually missed top 4 and/or winning the Europa League.

Kos has always had Achilles tendons like silly string, Mustafi was solid last year and Cech is past it, Holding went from a decent prospect to largely useless....I guess Wenger just plans to outgun the opposition.

Optimism abounds now....just need Mustafi, Koscielny and Cech to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses.

Still time to get a CB.....if Wenger manages that, than he’s a wily old fox.

Auba’s cup tied and Lacazette has, I believe, yet to feature... So..zing?

It looked like this would all be done well before the deadline, but now it’s been left late again and the pessimist in me just expects the whole thing to blow up in Wenger’s face. Expect a one man riot if that happens.

So the guy who laughed at his wife for calling a helmet a hat never played high school football with an old school tough guy coach. We should all laugh at him.
