Fully expect him to stay.

Any ed like to comment?

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona are keen on him.}

If we are sticking to three at the back, I think we will cash in. The ox and maybe theo playing wing back.

Agree0 Disagree4

06 Jun 2017 08:38:26
With Sanchez being offski I'm pretty sure Arsene will fight hard to keep the best of the rest.
Losing Sanchez will be a blow but if we lose Sanchez and retain Ozil that blow will be softened​ considerably as at one point we all thought we lose both for sure.
Lose Sanchez Ozil and Belerin and it would be a pretty dire situation leaving us with only the the fast ageing Kos and Caz as proven top class performers one of which is injured more often than not.
Can't see Arsene letting Belerin go this summer, no way.

I predict bellerin will be in a Barcelona shirt next season. I think three at the back and he is dispensable.

Agree0 Disagree1

06 Jun 2017 15:24:03
Difficult to see Arsene letting Belerin and Sanchez go in one summer Steve mate, can't see that myself.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 16:11:34
Theo wingback oh no please say u didn't.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 17:04:08
Id get a replacement if so as ox normally picks in injury up. Bellerin will end up in Barcelona in the end no question.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 17:30:40
Gunner if alexis goes, I do see an able replacement. Otherwise he will stay. Bellerin would give us money and the loss would not impact like sanchez.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 17:32:17
I know he is young but Bellerin showed his weaknesses last season and I think wenger did as well. We will see.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 17:39:11
As been mentioned derby theo won't be sold, his wages are too big and he's in no rush to go. don't forget he scored 19 goals this season as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 18:50:36
Sorry thread above should have read about Bellerin. I think wenger saw that as well. At the end of the sentence.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 13:22:42
Bayern Munich bid £35m for Alexis. Would you take it?

I personally would snap their hand off. I've accepted we are going to lose him. Do feel a bit sorry for him 45 goals and assists this season and still couldn't get top 4 or mount a challenge in the CL. He deserves better. But him going to a PL rival just doesn't bare thinking about. If he goes to Chelsea, City or United then might aswell give that club the PL title now. I can't see him signing any extension even if we offer £300k a week, as I don't think he's motivated by money, and any other top PL club would pay him that anyways. He stays another season and allowed to go on a free i'm almost certain he will end up at Chelsea.

Hopefully Bayern, Juve or PSG come in for him and we can get a decent £40-50m considering he's in last year of contract.

Thoughts?

05 Jun 2017 13:59:36
I think 50 is possible as he's that good and if bayern wait till jan Itl be an auction so best to get him in early. For me he's second best player iv seen at arsenal.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 14:11:01
Second best derby?! I like him but I don't feel he is anywhere near Thierry or Dennis.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - im with you D16..

05 Jun 2017 14:37:14
Agree with D, Dennis number 1 for me, closely followed by Thiery. Would love our super negotiator Dick law to get us at least Euro 50m for Sanchez, and for us to reinvest it all back plus extra into his one single replacement. I would be most upset if Mahrez or worse Turan was going to be his replacement. We at least have to try and sign a player in the A league (pre another injury Reus would have been my choice, but someone in his league such as a Dybala or Griezman, rather than a 30 year old past his peak not good enough to get into Barcelona's first team choice) .

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 15:28:46
Eould Bayern be willing to give him the wages he wants though? If you have a look at the wages of players in the bundesliga there's a HUGE difference to PL players.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 15:40:32
I loved dennis he had the joy of being in winning teams in an era we wanted to challange. If dennis could fly then even better. Alexis has had to carry us. But seeing all three in a team would of been amazing. I always pick goals first they win games. So henry and alexis for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 16:28:06
After just a few seasons he's better than bergkamp. Not for me! He would need to be here another 5 years and keep to the level of last season to start getting talked in the same breath as that man. Sanchez is an amazing player with the heart of a lion who has flashes of brilliance, bergkamp is one of the few players in history who gets talked about as a genius.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 16:55:23
I'd put a few more before Sanchez too and for someone who always picks goals Derby what was with the De Bruyne love affair. 😱😂😂😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 17:33:13
I think if you read through his previous stoner derby says that he loves gingers even more than goals! Obviously has Paul scholes and Nicky butt up there as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 17:34:31
Just a quick question derby . How old are you or more importantly how old were you when bergkamp was playing?

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 17:58:43
I hear the seasons argument but ronaldo is the best player manu have had even tho wasnt there long. Alexis we may not appreciate until he's gone.
De bruyne top class most assists this season and iv always rated him over ozil my opinion stays the same.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 18:19:17
The phrase ' Class on grass ' was invented for Denis Bergkamp simply because that's what he was.
Henry was better and Veira Pires Adams Wright were all at least equal to Sanchez, the very fact Sanchez gets mentioned speaks volumes about the man though.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 18:48:18
Let's not be using Ronaldo's stint at united to try and justify your point. He is on another level and if Ronaldo went to Real Madrid and failed then you or no one else would ever say he was uniteds greatest player.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 19:20:05
Lol ifs and butts sanogo. History is history and ronaldo is ronaldo. He was class at utd from what I saw. Sanchez is just my opinion. And most will say he's not in the top5 of course. I love the guy tho. Respect your views boys x.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 22:22:03
If difference is less than 5m then sell abroad but 15m he should be sold anywhere

We need money to replace him - every 1m counts.

Agree0 Disagree2

06 Jun 2017 09:28:13
It wouldn't be good to watch Sanchez do in the premier league what RVP did at Utd in firing them to the title with all those goals SY mate.
Imagine if he went to Utd and played a huge part in them winning the title next season, or Liverpool.
It would be better for the club and Arsene to take less money and see him leave the premier league imo.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 08:52:31
If we continue with 3-4-3 and we buy Mahrez surely this means we will not keep Ozil. Both players would expect to start every week and Wenger would not spend 40+ Mill on a bench player. So there would not be room for both in a 3-4-3.

I would be interested to see who would you guys prefer - Mahrez or Ozil in that role. I personally think Mahrez would thrive in that role and outperform Ozil.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - none of them melbourne, both divas who play for themselves and have personality flaws..

05 Jun 2017 10:30:25
Probably true, ed025. All the more reason we would not want both in the team. So who, in your opinion, represents the lesser evil?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i would say ozil mate, he goes missing and can be a bit sulky at times but mahrez is a disrupter of dressing rooms, he was one of the main instigators who forced ranieri out and is bad news imo..

05 Jun 2017 11:06:26
Ozil for me. The problem with ozil is that he plays best with quality around him or not at all. He also missed cazorla behind him that would move the ball quickly to him and run at people, he created so much space for ozil to do his thing. For me it's simple we need to create a team round him because on his day he is one of the best if not the best at what he does. We need a striker to provide intelegent runs and we need someone who can do what cazorla can do. It would be interesting to hear ed01's opinion on this and what players are out there that do what cazorla does because I can't think of one of my head but know that ed watches and studies football far more than me.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I agree with you, Oezil is a magnificent player, but he needs players to work with him to offer anything. He worked really well in that slot behind the striker when you switched to the 3 at the back and was excellent in the cup final, though overlooked by most.

Mahrez had a couple of good seasons, but the title went to his head and he needs dragging back down to earth. A move to a bigger club is just going to increase the overinflated ego, which is the last thing he needs.}

05 Jun 2017 11:44:33
I honestly think ed that most of the big clubs will not look at him. If he does leave I would be very surprised if Leicester get anywhere near the fee mooted.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - with all the money thats floating about im sure someone will pay a good whack for him SLB...i just hope its not arsenal or everton mate..

05 Jun 2017 12:32:57
Mahrez perfect for spurs imo. Best place for him the team is a unit and he can be the magic on top. Not too sure on him at arsenal like eds says. If he replaces sanchez then dear me. Vardy mahrez should of gone with kante imo. Staying didn't do anyone any good.

Agree0 Disagree1

07 Jun 2017 19:23:23
Where would spurs get the money to buy him? They're skint.

So I've just heard that Wenger has warned Arsenal supporters not to expect more than 3signings this summer. Kolasinac, that young guy from Belgium. one more in that means.150million to spend according to rumours, would he go all in for Mbappe? thoughts?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

05 Jun 2017 07:45:12
I don't think thoses two count one was a freebie and one is prob "for the future"

Agree0 Disagree1

05 Jun 2017 07:45:51
And Personally I think we have more than 150 m I think we are just playing mind games.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 08:40:08
Mbappe/ Bellotti
Mahrez
Arda Turan
Kolasinic
Henry Onyak
This would be a good window.

Agree0 Disagree3

05 Jun 2017 10:18:36
Our total spend may possibly be 150 mil but we will try and recoup at least half back. We won't net spend much more than 50 mil.

Agree1 Disagree1

04 Jun 2017 23:54:47
I tell you what. I know many people on here have slated the sun paper in the past and I believe one of the editors on here has voiced their anger. Tomorrow mornings front page will anger so many people especially some on here if what I've seen is true. that awful awful attack in London last night and their picture is that scum on the floor with the caption jihadi killer in an arsenal shirt.

Am I overreacting. I've had spurs fans telling me how ridiculous that Is. of all the things to focus on they decide to highlight that. Just pathetic journalism. Wish people would stop buying they s**t. Whilst on the subject tho my deepest sympathys for anyone involved last night.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - it is not overreacting, it is a piece of crap of a paper that looks to create hate and divide at a time when people should be uniting.}

05 Jun 2017 07:05:09
Exactly ed. I really hope people think twice about buying that piece of crap. Just find it so disrespectful to all those innocent people to focus on such a thing.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it has been going on for years mate. Just sad that people are still buying something that is not fit to wipe your arse on.}

05 Jun 2017 09:27:51
Ed I honestly couldn't have put that any better. Not really a fan of most papers as it's mostly lies trying to fill people's head with garbage but the sun really do take it too far.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - the worst of a very bad bunch.}

05 Jun 2017 10:32:19
I would only use the sun paper for one thing and its not fish and chip paper.
