transfer window opened on june 1. flamini left a gaping hole in our midfield a year ago. we are now in our 3rd transfer window since flamini's departure and we still haven't replaced him. we like to "monitor" players. we send out scouts to watch and study players so when the transfer window opens and such a player might become available we have all the facts to consider before we spend our horded precious gold.
we were "monitoring" the situation with xabi alonso last summer. granted, it wasn't all on us... we started "monitoring" felipe melo even before the confederations cup started this summer; instead we decided to finally make an approach only after his club increased his price and played us like a fiddle to get an even higher price from juventus. we started "monitoring" lorik cana last summer. cana just signed for 5m to sunderland. fucking sunderland.
we're too busy fucking "monitoring" these players, who fill a obvious need we have, to actually put in a bid to try to sign them! now now, i know you're saying that there are still 36 days left in the window and anything can happen: arshavin jan 2008, diarra aug 2007, etc, and i agree. wenger could pull out a rabbit from his hat and bring in toulalan or m. diarra and we would all applaud him for his astute purchasing...
it's the principal of the thing man. we get left strung out there watching all these guys go flying around and it's like we're having an out of body experience where we see ourselves on the periphery staring off into the sunset with our clipboard of facts and we are unable to do anything about it.
monitoring, it's whats for dinner.
