Old Trafford Dags? lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Poor Ctr, it must have been awful for you at old Trafford last season ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

We were in turmoil at Old Trafford. Last season we were riding high top of the league and then got spanked 3 or 4 times. Those hurt more.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 23:47:51
Chris,

You mean when we beat you 1-0 and won the league?

Oh, yeah I remember that one, lol.

Quite like Khedira - a cultured CM

Him and Rambo could form a Paddy & Petit partnership just not sure if we don't have a Parlour on the wing that we leave defence exposed so may be we need a more disciplined CDM

Thoughts?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 22:24:12
I'm going to stick to my guns here.

If we get Sanchez we would be amazing attack-wise.

we need a DM who would sit in front of back four.

Schneiderlin for me, is the best option as he is more disciplined than Khadira, Bender, Pogba etc.

we don't need an AM but a DM.

if we get Spyder I would be having a party in my Loic Remy boxers.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 23:16:28
I completely agree Dags. Schneiderlin for me

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha TM love it. Best avater yet, it suits you.

Ed do Arsenal have any interest in Lukaku I think he would be a great player with the right service

Cheers Ed

{Ed002's Note - No, but he is available.}

08 Jul 2014 21:19:38
Evening fellow gooners, Do the eds think that with the impending/possible signing of Sanchez we would not be interested in Griezmann now as its reported he has refused a new contract with Real Sociedad in the last few days and will we no longer be looking at strikers?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Ok.}

08 Jul 2014 21:15:44
I feel sorry for Ozil's girlfriend, I bet all she wants is to settle down, get married and have kids but Mesut just can't commit and pulls out of everything far to early. the boy needs some balls!

Dags, I hope your approve of this.

Schurrle this can't get worse.

This game is far from Klose.

This Brazil performance is Neuerseating.

Germany are Kroosing to the final.

I don't know Höwedes has happened.

You always do mate, lol.

08 Jul 2014 21:38:42
Omg watching Germany after 35 mins what a player Khedira is. I would love him to come to us but after this performance I would be amazed if we got Him. I can't see Real selling him if he plays like this. they would be stark raving mad if they let him go. also he would be a waste as a DM. looks a much better box to box CM.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I was really hoping he would score that chance tonight not so much to rub Brazils nose in it just for him personally to give him a much needed boost. He looks a bit fed up to say the least not having the best of world cups really.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 20:37:54
Got a feeling Germany are going to hammer Brazil and be at least 5-0 up by half time


You heard it here first.

So it looks like Wenger will completes deals for Debuchy and Sanchez in the next 24hrs or so.

This will give them plenty of time to bed in over pre season.

Wenger will look to sign 3-4 players in total in the next week or two.

My question is, what the hell will we all do now? No more last minute panic buys on the transfer deadline?

No more weeks and months or will he? won't he sign?

I don't know how I feel about all this!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 21:16:58
Greeny,

This is Arsenal we are talking about, don't count your chickens mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 20:19:19
All of this Sanchez talk still sounds too good to be true. I'm expecting Sanchez's flight into London to divert to Manchester at the last minute, and a delegation from city to shove a 200k a week contract in his face. With the knowledge that Sanchez's family would prefer to live in London, they are prepared to build a full size replica of Big Ben, Nelson's column and Buckingham palace in his back garden!

Followed by the news that a D.M won't be needed as Diaby is now limping quickly!

If we get Sanchez I will dress up in my bra, nickers and suspenders like every bank holiday weekend singing "DON'T YOU WISH YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS HOT LIKE ME" down Holloway road. Mind you, with some of the weirdos you get down there I wouldn't look out of place.

Come on you Gooners! Let's get it done!

I hope he signs next week while I'm on holiday, I feel for your neighbours:)

Agree0 Disagree0

I know what you mean- he would be a great signing for us - which just increases the anxiety that it won't happen.

But hey it's looking good and let's just keep our fingers crossed.

You really are a sick sick sick man.

Hey ed with all this talk about Sanchez, I wonder if we have taken our eye off the true target - that's right Remy. Are we still in the mix on that one?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - no

Thanks ed!

So if Sanchez is our striker/winger (awesome) and Debuchy at RB. That leaves back up keeper, possibly a CB if we lose TV5 (i'd prefer he stay) and the very important DM most likely Bender or Schneiderlien.

Sounds like a good signing season to me, well played AW.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 20:11:14
So with the signing of Sanchez looking more and more likely what are the chances of signing his Chilean buddy Vidal? (Dream summer) :)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 19:58:35
So Alexis Sanchez looks like it is nearly done. Absolutely fantastic signing in my opinion. Makes it even better that he chose us over Liverpool and Juve. But where do you see him fitting into the starting XI? Does he replace Cazorla at LW or Giroud at ST. Or will Wenger play Sanchez and Giroud together in a 4-4-2?

He certainly gives us a different attacking threat. Great pace and finishing. Also can beat defenders and has a great work rate. We should sign another ST aswell, or give J. Campbell a chance. Along with a CDM that should give us a title challenging squad.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 21:55:25
Sanchez and Giroud upfront together?

Love it.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jul 2014 09:39:03
Sanchez will play right side until theo is fit

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 19:44:48
Sanchez looks to have sealed a 4 year deal and a medical tomorrow, hats off to Arsene he clearly is very influential . We really are now just a couple of signings away from a side who can compete. let's how we don't ship a load of players out to pay for Sanchez

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 21:40:03
Agree mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 19:21:43
Bennett

If you think that Sturridge and Sterling were more influential that Suarez then dream on, Suarez was the one who scared all defences . I am afraid your flirtation with the top four is over . as things stand .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 21:59:44
To be fair, Sturridge and Sterling both had great seasons.

Got a feeling Liverpool won't miss bite-boy as much as we think.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 22:21:01
Hi Banbury,

I didn't say they were more influential, I said they scored more vital goals and that Suarez is our best player.

And yes, our flirtation with the top 4 is over you're right! After last season, we're dating now lol

Agree0 Disagree0

You are just an old EX.
the top four wanted one last fling before the final goodbye!

We need another striker even if we sign Sanchez. Edd any interest in asamoah gyan or enner Valencia also is hummels for sale

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I have explained where the interest is. Barcelona and Manchester United maintain an interest in Hummels but Dortmund do not want to sell.}

08 Jul 2014 18:39:48
Sanchez confirmed within 24 hours is what i'm hearing.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

OH NO now were well into Higuain territory :-) sorry but there's loads of medicals and sightings at the Emirates and Conley to go before we get to that stage.
It wouldn't be Arsenal transfer if we didn't have that surely

Agree0 Disagree0

"Sanchez to have medical in 24 hours!"


"Private plane on standby to pick him up!"


"Personal terms agreed and number allocated!"


I'm not in the know, but just thought we haven't used these key phrases enough yet!

Evening guys and Jenny!

JOKE OF THE DAY:

Luke Shaw - £33m

Alexis Sanchez - £32m

That is all.

Juan Sebastian Veron

Rio Ferdinand

09 Jul 2014 11:15:49
Woah woah woah. fair play to most of those shouts but Rio was a great signing! More than paid back his fee over the years. Bebe on the other hand still owes us £7million.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 18:05:25
Just out of curiosity, if you guys do get Sanchez, where does this leave Walcott? both play in the same position. will Walcott be a striker when he comes back?

(reason i'm asking, not because I want him at MUFC but because I think he's a great player and England need him)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I disagree completely. Walcott is a wide right attacking winger/striker.

Sanchez is a wide left attacking winger/attacker.

It's not a case of Sanchez taking someone's place. It's called squad depth.

Walcott was injured more than he played last season anyways so it showed me that we were clearly short.

Sanchez can cover or play Cazorla/Ozil/Walcott and Giroud.

Quality signing IMO if we pull it off!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 19:08:16
no doubt it is a quality signing mate, but Sanchez plays on the right.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldn't make sense to bomb anyone one out if we were to sign Sanchez, competition for places is healthy, I should imagine the rest of the squad will be buzzing hearing all these rumours, even the German lads, getting someone with that quality will be a real boost TO ALL

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 20:11:11
Sanchez can play on either wing

Agree0 Disagree0

JK he can play anywhere in the front four.

Football (attacking wise) is not about rigid positions but players who are adaptable and can interchange.

Sanchez can do that. End of.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 22:03:51
JK,

I think Sanchez will be on left and Theo on the right, with Giroud down the middle.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 15:45:44
So it looks like Debuchy is nearly done and sanchez is not that far off.

Im pleased with that, Sanchez is a quality player and Debuchy at the very least is on par with sagna.

When we played Newcastle last season he was their dangerman.

From what I've seen of him though, he looks better going forward than defending which might be cause for concern as Mert will be the player to cover for him. Pace not being big mert's strong point if things in attack go t!ts up and a team try's to counter.

Hopefully whichever CDM we bring in has the speed/positional sense to combat this problem

Believable0 Unbelievable0

So exciting. Debauchy, a good experienced player to replace aging Sagna. Sanchez is another world class signing.

If we can sign a quality keeper, replacement for Vermaelen, defensive midfield player such as Bender. I don't believe we will sign another striker if Sanchez arrives. We will use Giroud, Sanogo, Walcott possibly further forward and possibly Sanchez in a more advanced role.

Imagine:
Szczesny
Debauchy Merte Kos Gibbs
Bender Ramsey
Sanchez Ozil Walcott
Giroud

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - sounds good to me robbie..

Robbie, spot on.

The teams getting the depth if all that you've said happens, which could mean, cazorla, oxlade and wilshere all used as rotation players for the season ahead.

Still think we need a new striker aswell as Sanchez

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 17:27:05
A fantastic starting 11, and the bench would be pretty special too!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 17:32:17
No Jack Rodwell?

I jest of course.

Oh gosh no Rodwell,,,,,,, doomed

08 Jul 2014 12:53:26
Hiya, first time poster;
Eds I was wondering if there are any truth in juve's fading interest in sanchez? Other clubs pulling out looks great for us!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - looks like Juve are getting Morata, I can't see them being able to match our offer

08 Jul 2014 10:11:15
Hi Ed with all the will he won't he debate of Sanchez going on I think we're all getting distracted from our main priority which is a DMF, any news on this role getting close to being filled please?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - I'm sure we will concentrate on that once we have tied up other deals, plenty of time left mate

08 Jul 2014 14:54:25
according to reports, the initial lump sum for suarez is 40 million Euros, and they are waiting for Arsenal to wrap up the suarez deal, is this true? are we paying lump sum?

also if I might query, does paying in instalments work the same way as it does for a bank? paying interest over time on that amount or is it 0% and broken down by years?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 14:50:03
Really hope we make a bid for Lukaku, would ate to see him go to the spurs for £20m!

He's a beast and will be a stand out preformer in the Prem for years to come IMO

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think there's better forwards out there for £20m, he's not set the prem on fire at west brom or Everton.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i think he done very well with both akie, so imagine him getting the sort of service that ozil, ramsey and jack could provide for him, not to mention theo, santi and maybe even sanchez!..

I Completely agree this guy is a beast on when served properly reminds me of a young Drogba

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs are showing an interest in him

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jul 2014 00:56:47
Exactly what I've been thinking ED25! We would destro teams with Sanchez Ozil Rambo Walcottt all feeding him

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - hes only a kid as well sheeny...for me he would be an excellent buy mate..

09 Jul 2014 14:54:18
I know! I thought he was 22! He's only 21!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 13:30:01
I know this is very unlikely, but does anyone else think we need to sign 2 defensive/holding mids? We've lacked one for a while and will need a back up, as Flamini and Arteta are on the downward slide.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If we buy a good DM, Arteta, Flamini and Diaby are sufficient cover for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 13:14:01
Just got a feeling Thursday night with the kit unveiling we are going to get some surprises;
First out strolls debuchy in the 3rd kit
Then Lars Bender comes out in the away kit
Finally sanchez casually appears in the new home kit

It's at that point I leave arsenal player and clean up the mess that's appeared in my pants!

Makes sense to puma - nothing would be better marketing for them

I doubt this will happen but it would be immense if it did!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Jul 2014 14:52:13
They better have a "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" button right beside the the player because I'd buy all three with shiny white letters on the back!

The only thing that will happen is you will see wenger head down to the puma store in brazil on saturday, and get his kit on to commentate on the final.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry to hear the news regarding Liverpool/Arsenal banter poster relations.

Btw, I'm happy for you guys if you get Sanchez! We've had the Sahin and Suarez situations before so it's about time you guys got your man :)

Oh, whatever you guys are smoking over there. can you pass it over here? ;) it's been a stressful week!

In all fairness, you look good for next season and I'm a bit wary. only a bit though lol.

I look forward to another season of banter, jokes, stats, rumours etc

See you in August ;)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We're all heartbroken about Sahin.

Chin up mate, you may be selling your best player but you have Lambert.

Our favourite second club Tottenham have proven that if you sell your best player to a top Spanish club, besides if allowing arsenal to buy one of their best players, it also means you can spend £100m on plenty of average players to fill the void.

Brendan Rodgers has never brought a good player to the club FACT.

Enjoy your European nights, playing twice a week is tough, I predict 6th place for you boys next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 14:54:18
Sahin and I are kindred spirits.
both useless!

Agree0 Disagree0

In a way I am glad we did not buy one year rental suarez, would have shattered the team. now we could possibly add sanchez, another world class quality player to ozil, and not to forget the amazing ramsey. we add a proper DM, Bender, Khedira, either will do, and we are a backup GK, and Cover CB to contend for a trophy.

i don't think we have enough depth to take this team and create a fuss in europe, but if we manage to add another striker with pace up front such as (god forgive me) REMY, then I fancy our chances against the best of the best.

if this happens, i'm not going to waste money on a jersey for Sanchez, ozil or any other player. its going to have ONLY 1 ARSENE WENGER IN GOLD on the BACK

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol Banter with Liverpool fans is just a waste of time, it is pointless, as Paul has already mentioned Liverpool have already done a spurs by signing mediocre players, for 70 million. Have a nice season its utd back in top 4, can see it even before the season begins.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 16:31:23
Lol that's the spirit guys! As for out players brought in, keep you eyes on our new no 23 this coming season as well as Lallana!

And we're doing a Spurs really lol? Suarez might have been our best player but he wasn't the one who scored the more vital goals, that was Sturridge and Sterling.

I look forward to the European nights next season in the Champions League you know, the competition that we generally do better than you in ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - typical smug liverpudlian, never won a premier league, yet spout off about success...you do have history BJ but its ancient history mate so show some humility and look forward to yet more time in the wilderness where you no doubt will remain..

08 Jul 2014 16:44:02
If we "do a spurs" I'd be ok with that, seeing as they only finished 3 points lower than they did with bale.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - your lot and spurs deserve each other TJ.. :)

I would rather keep Arteta and Flamini

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 15:01:52
I'd take him for the right wage. Would be perfect for European nights against some of the "Handier" clubs in far flung places.

Wouldn't be so stretched then in the early stages of the Prem etc.

Great lad to lead a young team out in the Leage Cup. We put out strong teams last year. We can't afford to that this year. All our attention has to be on the Prem IMO.
Forget Champo L too. that's for 2016.

A Prem title and we're back on the map.

If we could sign Ozil last year and possibly Sanchez this year who knows who we could lure next year!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 11:22:11
Surely at 20M, Hummels is worth a shot. he scores more goals at the WC than Cesc, just as many as Balotelli.

With the players we have been strongly linked with, Debuchy, Bender/schneiderlin/khedira and Sanchez. How do you see our formation being?
I kind of hope we change more to a 433.
Defence kind of picks itself from last season with Debuchy included. I'd have Ramsey Wilshere with one of the above 3 midfielders we been linked with.
Then when all fit I'd play Sanchez Giroud ( unless we sign another more dynamic striker) and Walcott. Bring in another striker and we would have good cover for all those positions. Potentially a bench including Arteta Flamini Ox Diaby podolski cazorla Sanogo.
What you all think to the way Wenger may play it?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sorry I meant I'd have Sanchez Walcott and Ozil up top

Agree0 Disagree0

The possibilities are endless with Sanchez in our team.

Could play a 4-1-2-1-2

Sanchez/Walcott up top together, Ozil in behind them, can you imagine.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would be delighted with these signings and not against 433. Would love another striker too. Where would Ozil fit into this plan as he hasn't even made your bench. Surely just an oversight?

Agree0 Disagree0

Drop out the weakest link, unfortunately it's Jack. Replace him with one of our best players, Özil. Play him in his preferred position, attacking midfielder. The formation changes to familiar 4-2-3-1 which I think suits our players the most.

No Ozil?

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Iceman. Longer term Wilshere is. as the nmber suggests. a number 10.

We can provide cover for Ozil. Equally, not sure Theo will be ready by the star of the season and after beingout for so long expect niggling injuries (same will go for the Ox).

Wilshere will get games in the attacking 3 positions and can also cover for Ramsey.

Used to work in sales, first rule never give a price and leave! ALWAYS give a price with a condition ie time scale or make an offer good enough and say take it or leave it. We seem to pussy foot around waiting for on this occasion Juve to sell Vidal or Pogba offer £2mill extra and lose out. If he is waiting for Juve let him go - why should we be second choice - Lamela joined Them for big money not because he wanted to ( who would lol ) - Where is he now? Pick a player we want if he wants to join us great if not let him go- don't let him um amd ah and settle for us - We are Arsenal for goodness sake . We only need a few players to really challenge - a player who wants to be at Arsenal will give 10 times more than a mercenary! Utopia is a world class player who wants to be at Arsenal- that's Arsene `s job . But please don't prostitute our club waiting for a guy on £140000 a WEEK to let us know if he will do us a favour and play for us . Rant over - let's keep our dignity in all this
Provided they want to come Debuchy Bender and Sanchez will do for me . FFs even Remy if he wants to - Sorry that last part was ridiculous!

Being reported carl jenkinson may be part of the deal debuchy.Personnelly I don't think this would be a great idea

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Me neither, Jenks is Arsenal to the core and while on its own and that's not enough (or we'd have all be signed up long ago) he is a very good player who has never been given a decent run.
He'd be my RB this season as I think he deserves his chance but selling him is unthinkable.
I think he'd refuse to leave and so he should

Can't see it, if we let him go then we would need another right back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont see this happening. Wenger doesn't want to lose 3 players from last year's defensive 'squad'.

Seems like paper-talk. Joel Campbell would make more sense.

If we sign sanchez i'm going shopping for my new Alexis puma jersey on 11th! Any guess on what number he might wear guys? My guess would be 23.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Any but 27

Random question Ed. How fast do the media usually get hold of confirmed transfer deals?
Could there be a done deal (100% signed and sealed) that the media doesn't know about, for arguments sake let's say involving clubs in the top four?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - yeah course they can, we've done a few over the years, very few knew about Ozil after the spurs game, when it was pretty much done. Podolski announcement a few years ago was unexpected as well

07 Jul 2014 23:34:39
So any eds know if we are actually keen on Karl darlow? To be honest I never heard of hik

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - no idea mate, apparently we scouted him

07 Jul 2014 22:50:46
Ed if we do sign Sanchez, as many people are reporting we will, would you expect us to go in for another winger?

I'm only asking as I've seen a few reports that we still maintain interest in Griezmann and Cuadrado which seemed a bit confusing to me unless of course the club is anticipating the loss of either Lukas or Santi.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - no mate, you have to remember we have Ox Gnabry Podolski Theo Santi and possibly Sanchez, don't forget Joel

07 Jul 2014 22:39:55
hey eds any idea what the actual fees agreed for Debuchy and Sanchez are? thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed027's Note - we don't talk money

08 Jul 2014 01:56:43
So is super mario 100% out of the picture now?

Plus is there any thing to suggest we buy into these story's of us buying keepers like Cassius and Valdes?

I hope so. Balo is not good enough. Would score you 15 Prem goals a season max

We need back up, not corpses
