They wouldn't get 75 mil if they sold him in this window.

its not him lads its the goalie and also cb next to him changes weekly and right backs out all season. I still say longterm sound buy.

Derby, he's a very good defender, not a 75 mil defender. I also think, its the way they play that exposes their defence.

its a lot of cash steve no doubt but they were armed with coutinho cash. let's see when goal keeper is signed and keita slots in. he's better value than jonny evans at 25/ 30 imo. laporte probably best option money wise.

Who would want to join a club that won't stump up the bloody money for your services. So poor from Arsenal with Auba ๐Ÿ™„.

Just wondering what is the clubs preference to try and get sorted firstly?
Do we go all out on the Aubameyang deal and see it fall throughout at the last or try and put something in place for Evans?

From a Northern Ireland gooner I can hand on heart say he's reliable, solid, a good communicator and organised. Believe me he isn't exactly surrounded by world class playing for his country but does his job very well. He himself isn't a worldie we all know this, but at the moment he may just be what we need, stability.

Would like to know about Jose Giminez the Uruguay defender at Athletico Madrid. 22 years old and out of contract this summer. Would he be worth talking to?

Back to Aubameyang, if that deal can't be completed, then I'd rather we pushed for Mahrez than Benzema. It would be a waste of resources and effort going for him and I don't see the fuss about him anymore. He hasn't been the same player for the past few seasons.
Thanks all.

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't really work like that. Jose Gimenez is not out of contract in the summer and would be very, very expensive. He is of no interest to Arsenal.}

Apologies ed, assumed it was. Just reading itโ€™s up in 2020.

long time reader 1st time poster, life long gooner, just wanted to say, i can't understand how other clubs will pay 75 mill for a defender, and we look like messing up a deal on a fantastic front man p. e. a for 6o mill. seems a no brainer to me. the lad has mental goal stats. any way just wanted to say hi to you all, my fellow gooners. and ed's.

Welcome arbie, yes i can't agree more.

I hope the Arsenal negotiators don't mess up the Aubameyang deal. Top strikers cost a fortune and having lost Sanchez, we desperately need a replacement. We have the funds, so let's pay up and sign him up. The same goes for Evans. The pair could cost us around ยฃ85m, but we have ยฃ32m in the bank from sales this window and could arguably sell Giroud and Chambers if we sign this pair. Whilst last summer we had a surplus of over ยฃ10m. So the difference we have to shell out could be as little as ยฃ10m, but could give us a chance of CL football and lift the club.

It will be interesting to see if aubameyang waves goodby after the game today! Surely if he believes itโ€™s his last game that he will show gratitude when he leaves .

{Ed002's Note - Watch for him licking his elbow - that is the sign he will give.}

27 Jan 2018 16:37:44
Haha. I like it. Problem is ed in the uk licking your elbow means something completely different.

Aubameyang starts in Dortmund squad for match today, looks like they may feel the deal may not get done. Certainly interesting and tells me that Arsenal are yet to improve on the last offer, if they had of done he would surely have been benched? .

{Ed002's Note - He is a Dortmund player - that is why they can pick him to play if they want.}

27 Jan 2018 14:17:03
Absolutely correct eds, There player and until anything is agreed between the two clubs why shouldn't he be picked. Was kind of hoping he would not be picked but it looks likes this deal will go down to wire, and as you have stated on other posts i would hope that if we fail to sign him we don't go and panic buy someone else with a few hours to go.

Hi Ed, if the Aubameyang deal fails to materialise who is Arsenals second choice? And would/ are the board considering Arsene's preferred choice of Benzema as you quoted in a previous post? Thanks.

As much as I enjoyed this article, there wasn't a need for it. I'm pretty sure Jamesbhoy has sent every visitor to this site a bootleg copy of the DVD OR he's bored them to tears with the telling of the story.

We appear to be struggling to tie up the Aubameyang and Evans deals. Which are in my opinion essential in order for us to have any chance of a top four finish. If we sign Aubameyang, it will together make up for the loss of Sanchez and Evans will strenghthen the defence.
Gazidis is heading The Aubameyang deal, whilst Law has stayed on to oversee the Evans deal, clearly neither are top negotiators. Hopefully that will change when Sanllehi starts working at the club next month.
As far as signing Evans and Aubameyang are concerned we have a surplus of funds from the summer window and we have the proceeds from the sales of Coquelin and Walcott to set against the collective fees.

Oh dear raver61, I know Toby and can confirm that he and other toot players are very unhappy with the wages they are on compared to other PL players in the top 6 and the lack of trophies. It was also confirmed that Pochettino wants the Real job. In respect of Evans, he is CB that has won trophies.
