Any chance of arteta leaving

Believable2 Unbelievable11

{Ed025's Note - not much mate..

He was far too slow last year its only going to get worse if he stays

Agree0 Disagree0

It baffles me that people still think Arteta is a liability. His performance vs Liverpool at the Emirates was a masterclass in the pivote role and as long as he has mobile players around him he still has a lot to offer as a squad player.

Agree2 Disagree0

Wire, go and watch Arsenal get crushed by Chelsea. Watch Oscars goal, I distinctly remember Arteta saw Oscars run, marked him and got infront of him perfectly.

Then Oscar sprinted and Arteta just couldn't keep up, he gained about 5 yards in a couple of seconds, beat Arteta to the ball and scored a tap in.

Arteta read everything perfectly but he just doesn't have the speed anymore.

Agree0 Disagree0

But to be honest that's why we missed Ramsey so much--nobody with the legs to support him. He's a liability if you expect him to be the DM -- he isn't. Xabi Alonso doesn't have the legs either but Real recognise this and never leave him far from backup

Seen a couple of reports that Steve Rowley has been scouting Cork City’s Brian Lenihan, he plays RB and is very highly rated by the sound of it. Is this the end of Jenko?

Apparently a fee of £32 million and personal terms with Alexis Sanchez have been agreed and that the deal could be finalised by the end of the week.

Not holding my breath but i'll be ecstatic if this is true!

Other sources suggest that he has 'been the subject of offers from English Clubs'

Apparently Arsenal is his first choice. So as far as speculation goes, it all seems to be in our favour.

Believable45 Unbelievable28

I've heard a lot of "arsenal would be his first choice."

He's back from the World Cup so is able to talk with, CIG, you better be bloody right!

Agree1 Disagree1

Ed sources today saying that we have made a bid for sanchez, can you confirm please?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There was a discussion in London on Tuesday about Sanchez and there have been offers for the player, including one from Arsenal. I understand that it would not be enough to make any move viable.}

Beleave me or not my cousin is out in Brazil watching Germany had an email off him only read it yesterday he was in the beach when wenger was playing that volley ball game and he asked him any signings yet and wenger smirked and said big surprises, it's up
To u if u beleave me or not

Believable9 Unbelievable58

Wenger seems to be playing a lot of beach volleyball to talk of big transfers

Agree0 Disagree0

It's believe, I believe!

Agree0 Disagree0

This is 100% true, I have no reason to lie, and what makes it even more interesting is what did wenger say to the press b4 we signed ozil, we have a big surprise he said so fingers crossed

Agree0 Disagree0

eds please tell me Debuchy to Arsenal is not true, the lack of ambition shown with that signing would be awful.

Believable29 Unbelievable2

{Ed027's Note - seems the interest is real. Surely you don't want us to sign a young right back which would effectively ruin Jenko and Bellerin? Debuchy has already replaced Sagna for country for the past few years and is proven in the PL

Buying Debuchy actually to me is proof we are shooting for title. Debuchy is experienced and already better than Sagna. Aurier maybe turn out to be a better players in 4 to 5 years but right now Debuchy is a better option.

Agree1 Disagree0

Would be a quality signing, a player that is keeping Sagna out of the French starting line up.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would be quite pleased with Debuchy. Always thought he was too good for NUFC (sorry geordies).

Experienced, knows the league, etc.

With Aurier you could get Sagna, you could get Eboue.

Bigger concern is Vermaelen. Strongly against selling him at all let alone ot Man Utd. It disrupts our defence too much to let both players go.

Particularly, when our 2 starting CBs are not getting much rest over the summer. One early injury and we are in trouble.

Agree1 Disagree0

I like Jenko/Bellerin but what are the odds they actually become world class? Jenko is already older than Aurier and Aurier is clearly far far superior.

If we want to compete with the best we need the best, Aurier could become something seriously special here & I'm gutted that it looks like we're missing out.

Bellerin could still develop, he could play in FA/Carling cup games as well as start when Aurier gets injured and has to leave for African cup of nations.

Agree0 Disagree0

I suppose debuchy would be a decent signing, imo I don't really rate jenkinson so I don't see him as a long term replacement for sagna, although I do admire his passion, but bellerin I haven't seen much of so if he will be as good as you see he is a player like debuchy would be ok I suppose not to hold him back
