It's actually Liechtenstein, ffs!

So how come there is no money available?
Serious question.

Not buying a right back is scandalous by the club

If we have chambers was with us he could have played but relying on the likes of Liechtenstein and AMN for the remainder of the season is extremely poor by the board

Well I've read it's to comply with FFP and because various sponsorship deals are coming to an end which are on the low side. Also probably because the management didn't see any good value in this window.

In the summer when the new ones kick in we should be in a better position.

But still a right back to get us top 4 would definitely have been worth it. Doubt they had confidence it could be achieved.

Because far too many Arsenal Fans in denial, sat quiet whilst Ozil fleeced the club silly, then demanded we pay him more to keep him. Shoulda got rid of his ass at the first renewal. We'd be that much better off money wise and perhaps even Champions League wise. Him and his lazy "Won't hustle or be hastled, I'm not playing" crap, cost us many a Champions League result, we could have gotten. He cost us big money from the kitty and a buttload of revenue.

Hence, we transfer skint now.

I thought Leno did very well to keep the scoreline respectable yesterday.

For a keeper who was parachuted into the starting XI in the middle of the season, I think he's done very well to adapt. Especially with the ever-changing cast of defensive players he's had to work with.

One area he could certainly do with some improvement , is his aerial presence. No 6 foot 3 keeper should be flapping at aerial balls the way he does.

Yes, our inability to have one mainstay of the defence, nevermind a well developed partnership, is not helping Leno.

Torreira - good signing

Gwen - potentially a good signing, I like him and the fee was pretty modest

Lichy - at the time I was all for it but he’s been shocking

Leno - another potentially good signing. That being said he has not been good so far imo, next season he must improve

Sokratis - I like him but our defensive stats speak for themselves. Too injury prone and age ain’t on his side, don’t think he’ll get any better than he is. I think he may end up being a player on a big contract that we might struggle to shift

Suarez - ok I know nothing about him but man against City he was muscled off the ball every single time even by Aguero. Think he might take some time to adapt to the PL which makes a loan signing strange when we purposely rejected the obligation to buy clause in the Summer
