Ayatollah Hermione 3,457 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Reckon Slimani is quite clearly the best we could have got (him or Sturridge). At least on loan anyway and him having a knock is the kind of thing that you get when you leave it last minute. If he can get 5/6 (quite a big ask, I know) and Gayle/Joselu/Perez/Atsu and co can chip in what they have so far, that genuinely might be enough. I’ve no idea if this keeper is the kind that could win us points with shot stopping or penalty saves or things of that ilk but I’ve had about enough of the two idiots we’re rotating now so I welcome him. The tightness of the league makes this all seem like a gargantuan task but the fact everyone is taking points off each other makes it the opposite IMO. Don’t we have the best, or one of, record against sides around us? We continue that and we’ll probably find ourselves sitting around where we are now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 863 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Arsenal have done well. Arguable ending the window in a better position than they started despite losing their best player. Sanchez gone loses a sulky unpopular presence in the dressing room. Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan in who are both quality and have linked up well together in the past and now Ozil has signed a new deal. Wenger out innit fam. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not getting the striker would be. Not a disaster but 3 x loans is tighter than tight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dynamite 1,053 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I don’t know why Gayle wasn’t offered to Championship clubs for £15mil. Some teams would snap out hand off for a 20 goal striker. Then that would have been most of the money for the Feyenoord lad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Kelly 354 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I think HF is bang on when he's said that Ashley doesn't want to gamble the money we have now in case we go down and he needs it to cover the loss of income next season. I'm still hoping a sale will go through at some point so I'm not particularly bothered if we don't sign anyone permanently this window as I can't see them being anything more than stop gap players anyway so we could be lumbered with players we don't want if proper money then becomes available. May as well just deal in loans now but it should have all be sorted well before now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
