Hasn't he joined Roma?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No.}

03 Aug 2017 00:18:04
Oh ok, then Roma's loss could be our gain or our Lucas Perez 2017 depending on why we sign i guess and of course if we do actually sign him :-)

Just triple the price.

Well fellow Gunners, with the Community Shield looming and the start of the season seemingly imminent I am intrigued to know everybody's predictions for where we will end up. Of course predicting the position is extremely difficult and our summer dealings (ins and outs) may not be completed, but the time has approached. For me, I feel we will finish 4th this season, with the reasoning we have improved our attack but at the moment have large holes in CM and CB (imo) . I feel Man City, Chelsea and Spurs will be above us with Man Utd and Liverpool also in and around there. Any other predictions?

{Ed025's Note - 5th or 6th for me lucas, just not enough for me mate at the moment but that could change if a couple of new faces are introduced..

02 Aug 2017 23:09:41
Keep Sanchez, get 2 more new faces, Lacazette hits the ground running, I think we could challenge for the top spot.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - say no to drugs..

02 Aug 2017 23:09:42
Can't disagree Ed, I like to always feel optimistic at the start of the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i know what you mean lucas and wish i could be more optimistic mate..

02 Aug 2017 23:34:25
Top 3.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2017 23:59:08
I have to agree with dags, keep sanchez and matuidi and lemar or even mahriz and we are up there in the mix.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 00:03:52
Agree with Ed025 100% and if it was possible more than that.
Top 4 seems like a really big ask and beyond out current potential while top spot is as likely as England winning the world cup and euro 2020 double and the chuckle brothers replacing Ant and Dec on Britain's got talent :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 01:50:51
I don't think any additions to the attack are needed. Just more steel. The likes of Matuidi would be very welcome. If we were to have him perhaps top 3.
Would rather a disciplined dmf like him and a strong season to convince Sanchez to stay for the foreseeable.
Praying to god Man City are given an embargo due to dodgy financial or player touching up.
In saying that he's still the best player we've had since the invincibles era just for work rate alone. and huff ability.

I really feel we should be going for van dyke. Exactly what we need. dominant in the air. scores from corners and set plays. ball playing centre half. tall and young enough still. can spray long passes with accuracy. takes a mean long distance free kick. With mert and kos ageing we are an injury or 2 away from chaos at the back again. Imagine facing any of the top 6 or 7 teams with the likes of elneny or maitland in a back 3. It would be laughable and a definite loss each time. We need 6 centre backs to play this system not the square pegs in round holes we have seen pre season. Those are the type of signings that help you challenge for major trophies.

Having been so numbed down by the incessant negativity I'm predicting relegation.

Ed, from what I've heard Dags can't say no to anything! Lol.

{Ed025's Note - have you tried borrowing money off him sooper.. :)

02 Aug 2017 19:51:23
The whole neymar deal is interesting if the lead story of him wanting to win Ballon D'or are to be believed . That's a goal a game for that prize and the two men fighting over it are about at that return or better on occasions with CL glory in to boot! Can he do it! PSG champions league in three years with him been the top scorer in the competition and an overall of a goal in every game territory over all competitions big ask for the boy! He's not in my top 3.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Aug 2017 21:01:32
I don't see him as even worth half the reported fee, he's not even close to some of the previous fantastic Brazilian talent.

Is the PSG squad good enough to conquer the Champions League.

It really is a ridiculous some of money, where do you go from that price with the next big thing.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2017 21:57:34
Apparently he's going to earn 800k a week, which is probably more than Premier league Huddersfields entire wage bill including players management coaching staff from top to bottom of the club.
I'd like to see Neymar v Huddersfield game so he could prove why he's worth more than them all put together :-)

02 Aug 2017 22:17:52
G62,
You would have to sell your body 1.6m times per week to earn that sort of money 😁.

Huddersfield now there's a team from my way and they have won more league titles than spurs πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Hello eds, with nice playing their champions league qualifier today, would a loss make them likely to sell Jean-Michael Seri or is there no effect? Also is there any update on him, I heard Swansea has a offer rejected?

{Ed002's Note - It makes no difference.}

02 Aug 2017 16:58:59
Thanks ed, I know u have said there's interest but do u believe arsenal will follow that up?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is possible.}

02 Aug 2017 17:16:15
Thanks mate, what team do u support?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Third Lanark.}

02 Aug 2017 17:41:52
Scottish team?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Of course.}

02 Aug 2017 18:00:16
I always thought you was a Chelsea fan ed 😳.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - That is Ed018.}

02 Aug 2017 16:22:39
I think Sanchez will be transfer deadline day deal to City .
The time leading up to that will be taken up by unloading some of the overpaid underperforming deadwood
Lemar sorry i just don't see it at this moment
of time.

If Barcelona come looking for Sanchez.

90 mln. Take it or leave it.

Is 90 minutes long enough to do a deal? πŸ˜‰.

At least give them 2 hours Billybob.

Hi Ed's,

A bit new to this so apologies if you have answered any of this stuff elsewhere.

Last year we were heavily linked with Reus, do we still hold an interest in him now despite the injury?

Draxler - will he be available now that PSG look set for Neymar? If so, would we be interested?

Finally our defence - Chambers is being linked with a move away which for me would be a shame. I rate him more highly than Gabriel, as an example. Is he really one of the ones that might be shown the exit door?

Thanks for the time in reading/ replying.

LD.

{Ed025's Note - 1..no mate that ship has sailed 2..i dont think he will be available even if they get neymar and would probably cost too much, ...3 yes he is, has not progressed as was hoped..

02 Aug 2017 16:51:02
Draxler would be good to calm the madding crowd that's for sure, if it was possible of course.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It isn't.}

02 Aug 2017 14:38:33
I see Neymar is on his way to London, not Paris.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Aug 2017 13:11:21
I truly hope we go in for Julian Draxler this time around a player we have been linked with in the past, it seems he may be available, would prefer him to Mayrez or barkley, I feel it would be an ideal move for us.

02 Aug 2017 09:23:03
With neymar going to PSG would there be any chance of Barcelona coming back for sanchez?

02 Aug 2017 09:31:34
Arsene now saying he won't be joining another premier league side this summer, not quite the same as the " he won't be leaving ' stance of a couple of weeks ago.
My guess he will be a City player by the time the big kick off gets here :-)

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Aug 2017 12:21:51
Thanks ed025.

READ ALL ABOUT IT.
I read this headline today in the Mirror.
' Arsenal stars convinced that Alexis Sanchez wants move away'
Wow! What a scoop. Amazing piece of investigative journalism. Genius.
Are there any reports about anything we don't know?
