foxes_rule1978 Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 Harder this January compared to others because of the situation with COVID and brexit. People don’t want to let their players go. Frustrating but I don’t believe we haven’t tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew the window was coming, we obviously did no forward planning. Buying in this window may be difficult but not impossible and if it is just down to fear of getting it wrong then they are in the wrong position!! Maybe it's not as easy as you think. Maybe the pool of players that are both good enough to improve us and available for transfer is non-existant. Maybe we can't afford to splash out at the moment. Maybe the only players we want are at clubs that don't want to strengthen us. I don't know how you're confident to say that we obviously did no forward planning. I find it very hard to believe that a club so well-run have spent the whole transfer window twiddling their thumbs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 Looking at Arsenal's main forum seems Arteta doesn't want him in the squad and the fans agree it's time to clear out their deadwood. The main criticism with AMN is that he makes to many mistakes in his passing ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not against this by the way, he will be a good squad, versatile squad player- just pointing out that highlights reels can be misleading. I looked also and apart from strength, looked a bit cumbersome and shite to me. I thought they were supposed to put a players highlights on such clips? Made a few good interceptions but when in possession, never looked in control of the ball. Not a great asset for a midfielder. He might think he's one, but Arsenal clearly don't and they might just know best. If this guy or Chalobah are the best on offer why bother at all, we have better already. We don't need any more mediocre squad players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Rudkin and Congerton have just been on holiday all month and just got back today then you are an idiot! Yes its frustrating we haven't got any decent players in but Rodgers even said in an interview the club have actively been trying to get players in. We were never planning on signing anyone this window but got our hand forced with Praets injury. Do you think liverpool are happy with Davies? Chelsea, United, Spurs all not signed anyone. Arsenal did well getting odegaard but generally nobody has brought anyone in as there is little money around and no clubs are willing to let their players leave for reasonable fees. Plus we were never looking to sign anyone permanently, it was always going to be loan deals but wages would always be an issue with the likes of Eriksen. None of us know what the clubs and owners finances look like right now so we just have to accept things for how they are right now. ....not sure why you feel name calling is an acceptable way to communicate...it just shows ignorance!!! I like anyone else can view our predicament in an open forum and express my views. As you said we are not privy to the details of our financial situation and therefore everything is speculation.

Just annoys me when people slate the club and our transfer business when we have no idea what is going on. We can all have opinions but suggesting the club haven't tried to bring players in is silly. Of course it is frustrating we haven't got anyone but the club have done amazingly well in the transfer market in recent years and we are sitting 3rd in the league yet people still feel the need to complain about the way the club is run etc. And I'm not just aiming it at you, many people on here make comments when they/we know very little about what is going on behind the scenes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 We are still in this I'd think. Despite Arsenal not wanting to sell to us, the player won't want to go to West Brom and if he goes Southampton they apparently want him as a defender where he doesn't want to play... If we are his first choice destination, it wouldn't surprise me if a player had a fair bit of power over the decision considering how long he's been at the club and the duty of care they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
