G62,
Well spotted lol.

Also Dags if the conservatives don't get an overall majority it's possible Arsene could hold the Ballance of power? Which will make me really happy too.
Finally the rest of the country will understand exactly how bewildered Arsenal fans feel as Arsene trys to explain why his policy for everyone to work twice as many hours for half as much pay really is good news for them :-)
Easy people, it's a joke.

The big loss this transfer window would be the ox! Everyone keeps on about Ozil/ Sanchez but this player could be s diamond.

Sanchez is nearly irreplaceable to arsenal at the moment. The ox is.

If Sanchez goes, would Mahrez and Lacazette soften the blow?

08 Jun 2017 22:31:07
Throw in Reus as well and you have me at hello Dags.

Lacaztte and a better winger yes.

reus is done lads out til 2018.

08 Jun 2017 23:55:11
If you are saying lacazette to replace sanchez, not for me. Sanchez stay and a mahrez or turan addition would be better. Sanchez is hard to replace.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jun 2017 01:21:06
Reus to replace Diaby?

If Reus came i would gladly loan him my tendons and ligaments until his are ready!

I couldn't find it searching on the European pages but I see gnabry will be leaving his club this summer. Is there any interest from us as I read we did try and keep him before he left. I doubt it but thought he showed a lot of promise if not any idea who is interested in him any eds?

did we manage to have a sell on clause?

Good Morning Ed
First ever post
You said that Arsenal would not sign BOTH Mbappe and Lacazette (assuming of course we sign even just one) was this based on Sanchez staying or going please.
Also if Ospina goes will we be looking for a new cover in goal or a new No 1 in goal?
Many thanks for your time
Goonerbm.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Goonerbum, welcome. It is based on Arsenal will not sign both players regardless of Sanchez moving. It simply won't happen.}

08 Jun 2017 22:42:14
Will we sign one ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There is a chance that Lacazette will join.}

Is anyone else excited to see Chambers back? Frankly, I am. From what I saw, he did well enough at Boro, not a squad that had a lot of possession. Think he'd be suited to a back three, and frankly, think he'll be an excellent pairing with Holding for years to come. Might be wishful thinking, but I do believe he'll come good.

I think a bit of patience is needed this time round with the lad, sometimes people can get over excited when young players come on and do well but quickly loses patience if they hit a tough patch, quite why Belerin got so much stick last is beyond me especially when a lot older more experienced players got off much lighter.
Easy does it with Chambers this time round whether he's brilliant or not quite ready still let's take our time with the lad.

There was a conversation on the rumour page about Bellerin in which Max Farnham reminded me of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and how he could maybe step up on that right hand side as a wing back.

Well congrats to him because he's just helped England U20's get to the World Cup Final.

On the same thread Fatdave was saying why are people so hung up on fees being paid on installments.
On the subject of installments surely it would be better for everyone if all fees had to be paid upfront as this would stop clubs spending money they can't or may not be able to afford in the future meaning transfer fees would fall dramatically enabling clubs to give the fans a better ticket price, 100 million for a player is crazy money even if you have the cash but it's plain stupid money if you haven't.
Didn't Portsmouths problems start when they couldn't meet their transfer payment installment commitments?

Agree0 Disagree0

Without banging my own drum (much nicer if someone else does it for you) I have been going on a lot lately how I think Maitland-Niles and Rene- Adelaide should not be loaned out but instead need to stay and get closer to the first 11. I certainly don't want to see us sign any journeymen to fill up the squad and push them further down the pecking order. Mainland-Niles can play CM and had a good game in that position against Southampton. For me that should be the end of Wilshire at our club, as he should be shipped on to allow Maitland-Niles to take his place in the squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2017 22:09:24
I'm just guessing, but paying by instalments probably has interest attached.
Example, paying Β£20m as a one off costs Β£20m, but paying over 3 years probably costs about Β£24m.

I may be wrong though.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2017 22:41:59
Epping you're right you have and apologies I didn't give you a mention πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸΌ

I think the instalment thing is something we have over other clubs as we have the wedge and could either pay outright or use a much bigger 1st instalment which is a big benefit to some clubs.

With liverpool messing up the van dijk deal it would be a perfect opportunity for wenger to strike a deal with southampton. Van dijk will strenghthen our defence two fold along with the signing of kolansic.
I think if Barcelona are offering 40m plus for bellerin its best we do business. Get rid off jenko debuchy gibbs gabriel and with bfg retiring the funds and wages would be readily availble
A defence of either van dijk holding kosci mustafi kolansic monreal and imo bielek would be very strong.
If we can keep ozil ox and sanchez and get a laccazette or similar we could be on the horizon of something big. A top keeper like hart would not go amiss

Cech
kosci van dijk kolansic
Ramsey xhaka
Ox ozil sanchez
Lacazette walcott

Subs
Hart holding monreal mustafi welbeck bielek wilshere le coq elneny.

Not liking your line up to be honest. Walcott up top? Kola cb? 9 subs? Choose one of them please lol.

by the looks of your team you care about defending just as much as Pep.

I did wonder D16. But then I realised he wasn't called arsenal hater πŸ˜‚.

Walcott managed 19 goals last season. People underestimate his value to the team he gets goals. defenders are scared off his pace and he creates space for others to run into. in a 352 formation he would be interchanging and making runs from the channels. Football has moved on my fellow arsenal fans players can move around the pitch in varios positions. This team has a strong defence with speedsters upfront. Xhaka in a deep role has improved immensley and ramseys late runs into the box are important to our play. Ozils free role and ox sanchez protecting and attacking the flanks. It is not about having 9 subs it is the extra squad players i would use throughout season. Arsenes succesful teams have always relied on pace and direct football not tippy tappy football this team has it. And don't be so disrespectful to say i'm an arsenal hater i'm sure we could all be childish and start name calling. We all have ideas how arsenal can improve being constructive would help.

Arsenal fans can't move round the pitch! They would get thrown out!

Can’t understand how some are advocating the sale of Bellerin for ~Β£40M. He is a key element in our team and given his age/ contract length he has to be worth much, much more than Β£40M. I’ll be bloody furious if he’s sold for anything other than a world record fee (for a defender) .

Believable2 Unbelievable0

08 Jun 2017 15:33:02
if he goes it will be around the world record fee mark for sure. which will be broken a few times sooner or later i'm sure.

Haven't seen anyone mention it. But what on earths happened with onyekuru. Was sounding like it was an almost done deal. Even saw him saying how Thierry was his idol. So sounded like he wanted to go to us. Now all of a sudden West Ham are in pole position to sign him.
