We have become accustomed to confusion at Arsenal haven’t we? Well this is exactly How Sam Allardyce has described the circumstances surrounding his midfielder Mohamed Diame, who has been regularly linked with Arsenal this window.
Allardyce told Sky Sports:
‘my understanding is that it’s total confusion’ …… ‘ There are certain situations where, yes, we might lose the player.’
As for David Villa, Wenger stated yesterday that Barcelona don’t want to sell but the ever zealous Daily Mail says that Wenger will make ‘one final swoop’ for the striker after talks with the Arsenal top brass.
We think that every player has his price and if Arsenal really want the prolific striker then they must splash the cash.
We shall of course continue to be your eyes as the drama unfurls

Wenger is not ambitious coach, all he wants is money for himself and the management. He doesn’t care whether arsenal won trophies or not. Except miracle happen I can see us signing any player between today and tomorrow.

Honestly,i think any sane person should just keep off monitoring Arsenal news.The gaffer had clearly shown he is not interested in improving d team.Accordind to him,he is looking for top top talent.and for you to get that you will continue to wait for godot.he said he has not been able to identify better players than the present crop of players that he has.Thats why Arsenal is on top of the league and are going to win champions league.

Wenger needs a break and think if Arsenal back line fits the team. Only Vamarlin is trusted player at the back. Santos is a disgrace to watch, his football sense is negative. Metasaca has every thing to be more than whom he is in the pitch but what we get from him is below average. Sagana does very well to support the attack but his crosses ends on the legs or body of opponent team which has constantly put Arsenal under immerse pressure. Now Gibbs is 3 weeks out, This is time to off-load Santos and bring in two good defenders, stop chasing David Villa. If Arsenal does not score goals and same time does not concede goals, the team would have been off and Fans will not die of heart attack.

Anything other than a loan deal is not it. Villa is not worth splashing the cash. He will not have a reciprocal impact on the team. What we have now can achieve our immediate objective of CL football if the players apply themselves and play to their potential. The cash is best kept for the summer. Diame, yes. He can improve our defending and he will come cheap with EPL experience.

When the sold the likes of fabregas,nasri,adebayo,song,rvp,etc no replacement ever since january 1st no excesptional players in the market let just stop giving our selves hypertension on wether we will buy any player today notting like that. Let us just be praying that wenger and gazigid die b4 end of the season and krone enke sell his share for usmanov. By then arsenal will become a team in europ. But now notting is coming.

Jan 31, 2013 at 8:08 am
As for me, i think we should not lay all the blames at wenger. We should lay the blames on the management. If the management gave him money to buy players and he did not buy, they have to querry him since they need trophies. But because they value their revenue more than the trophies, they will not querry or even sack him. Do you know that there are many top clubs that is waiting to hear that mr. Wenger has been sacked so that they will grab him. And believe me, if chelsea or man city have the opportunity to grab mr. Wenger, any player he points at, the management will pay without hestitating because they knoe that there is something he see in that player. But here in arsenal, when he tell them that he wants to buy, they will be looking at the money they have to pay. If costly, they will tell him to go for the cheaper ones. Therefore, i think is time for us GUNNERS to fight the management and not Mr. Arsene Wenger, he is a strong man who can endure. I pitty for him

Wenger has overstayed in arsenal. He has exhausted his ideas. He is after his commision in selling players and not the interest of the club. He is collaborating with the American businessman to make money out of the club. Wenger shld go, we are tired of frustrations.

Wenger is on his way to hell on refusing to do the right thing, however all available ladders to climb to hell are too short and well known ladder makers to help us make an urgent ladder of length to get Wenger to hell, said the minimum time frame to build us a ladder of this magnitude will take 48hrs, meaning we can take delivery of the Ladder by 11.06am, Saturday 2nd Febuary 2013. This is very late, meaning Wenger cannot go to hell after all.

I don’t know why Mr. Wenger is becoming so rigid from day to day!! It is clear that Arsenal will not win unless they recruit top class players. What is after all the ambition of the Arsenal board and coaching staff? Is it not winning something as a football club? Or just cropping some talent and selling to earn money? If so they should stop calling being as a football club and call them as ‘Arsenal football players selling shop’. I hate that club so much from the bottom of my heart now, because it is a club that does not care for its supporters. How long should the fan suffer and feel agony to see Arsenal get something? It is completely injustice and shameful!!! Look ManU, Look Barca, Look Liverpool or totonham… they really do everything to please their supporters.
Our manager came before the opening of the transfer day and said ‘we need 2/3 top, top quality player’. The red devils boss came and said ‘ no we do not want any recruit, because we have enough squad.’ When the transfer day is closing to an end we have nothing but the red devils had ½ more recruits. Hate ARSENAL!!!!!!

Was talking about this over at http://www.talkoftheterrace.net the other day, Wenger had no chance of signing Villa anyway, Arsenal are a club that arnt challenging for top honours. As for Diame he indicated that he didnt want to go to Arsenal anyway, even if they triggered his release fee. Arsenal are a club of the past, if Spurs went in for them, they would of joined them.
