No disrespect SY but it's not an option mate.
If we can keep Sanchez we should but if we can't then we just have to make the best use of the money possible.
I see there's paper talk of Ranaldo being unhappy at Real in reality I doubt he will leave but if he should City Chelsea Utd Liverpool Spurs and Arsenal fans will all fantasise about him joining them but in reality where would he most likely end up if he came back to England? It wouldn't be us for lots of reasons money being only one of those.
Let's concentrate on what is achievable rather than waste another summer on fantasy Island.

I saw someone reply further down about giroud been better than lacazette and I whole heartedly agree. If we are going to part with vast sums for the guy then I think it would be a bigger mistake than not buying a striker full stop. Yes his goal tally looks good but the guy has scored loads of pens. 23 out of his 100 goals in 203 games for Lyon . Not for me.

ye I saw this and realised penos don't count as goals in a game. madness.

That's not the point really. Some peoples pen takers are defenders. If he's the only option then I'd stick I really would. Scoring isn't really a problem for us we have need elsewhere.

Lacazette is not good enough for the Arsenal
Waste of money.

I think he is good enough but for me not as Giroud replacement but as Walcott's. I think we still need to have to big focal point option in our team and we will lose that is we lose Giroud.

Ageuro takes penalties doesn't he? Just imagine how many goals he'd get per season if he actually scored any of them :-)

Welbeck is a better shout than giroud, misses just as many but is more mobile and works harder. He holds the ball better as well. Giroud is a plan b only, we can start with welbeck as well as plan b.

Absolutely hate the way Aulus conducts business.
Frankly, if Aulus drags it out, I don't blame Wenger at all and would rater he moves onto other targets.
Let's not make Wenger the scapegoat for what others do wrong.

Agree he seems a right pain. He said lacazette can leave. Now says arsenal have made a very nice offer but he is staying with us. He's messing us around clearly. Hopefully Arsene sticks his middle finger up and moves onto another target especially if we are wasting our time.

It's called "negotiation" guys! Aulas can do and say as he likes: it's up to Arsenal and our representatives to get a deal, not expect the club who has who we want to roll over and accept out offer.
Look at the deals Spurs Chairman gets for his players (exception: Sissoko - tee hee! ) .
We could do the same when it comes to clubs wanting our players, or are you suggesting that when Manchester City come calling for Alexis or Barcelona express a desire to sign Bellerin we should politely inquire "how much for? " and accept their kind and generous offers?
Actually, that feels like it is exactly what we DO do sometimes.

Max it's not called negotiation it's called being a dick. He's apparently very difficult to deal with. Normal clubs say so and so can leave for that much then when met they accept. But from what I've heard he just changes his mind and wants more from English clubs. That's not negotiating.

It's ridiculous that some are going to use this as an excuse to blame our manager or board. Read what the guy said. Arsenal made a very nice offer. Didn't say it was crap or well below asking price.

Being "a dick" as you call it D16 IS part of negotiation and it's entirely subjective.
I'm not saying I like it, but Messrs Law, Gazidis and Wenger ought to be well enough versed in this by now - heaven knows they've let enough deals slip through their fingers over the years!
When Lacazette signs for another club, slams in 35 goals and wins the Golden Boot/ Premier League/ Champions league with another club* will we have to endure hearing Mr Wenger mumble how we "nearly had him last year, except for the fact that we actually didn't get him" just like Kante and Mbappe (and even Ibrahimovic! ) and then blame Aulas somehow that it's all his fault and nothing to do with him.
* OK, it's not a give, but you get my point.

I basically read that statement close with that offer but not quite enough please come back with abit more. Not sure to be honest if Lacazette is really any better than Giroud different type of striker and for me is more a upgrade on Walcott than Giroud. Would love Mbappe as I think he would fit very well into our style and could be the next Henry. Problem is Giroud is not keen on moving back to France by all accounts so could be difficult in trying to use him as leverage.

LOL who would want to be one of the Eds this time of year. Must be a nightmare.
Mbappe is this years Higuain etc etc.
Does anybody really think that Arsenal are going to lay out over 100 million for anybody let alone an 18 year old? when we are needing so many players in different positions too. Wengers hardly going to blow half the budget on one player is he? .
Yes I believe that Arsenal are looking for players but I would be shocked if they laid out 100 plus million for one player and even more shocked that the player at 18 wants to come to London and play in the Europa League. Why would he? .
I don't know whether Sanchez is going or staying but if he stays it will be like a new signing. Ozil to be fair wouldn't bother me in the least. Bellerin? God knows what's happening with him. It looks like we are all over the place again.
Just read last years and the year before that to find answers for this year. 😂👍.
