So basically it's a waste of time having any sort of football knowledge here.You just get ignored and tea boy and slug do what they want instead.
It's a no-win situation. If we'd signed both or either of Lacazette or Aubameyang they would have a) been sold after six or twelve months because they would have realized how much of a stepping stone this club is under Ashley or b) not become the players they are today because their manager would have been Kinnear or Pardew.

Even if they had stayed and had become the players they are today, Ashley would've made the team's development stagnate by not investing further. So no chance in hell we would have progressed in the long run, even with those signings.

Anyway, it's all hypothetical and we're stuck just like always with nothing exciting on the horizon. Lovely.
