Eds is there any sort of update on what is going on at Arsenal today?

Are we still bidding on Lemar?
Has Alexis put in a transfer request?
Is Ox definitely going to Chelsea or is it just a bid from them?

I thought yesterday was bad but it never ends! And Liverpool going after Lemar as well as giving us a 4-0 beating. I think we have hit rock bottom now as a club.

Is there anything happening with signings in?

I know it was mentioned on the European page about Borozvic at Inter maybe going for Mustafi. We are going to need a new team not one player! Ozil now being linked to Dortmund as well. Losing Alexis is bad enough : (


I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY. THANKS FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL US.

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - (a) Arsenal failed to match the asking price for Lemar. I feel I have said this on multiple occasions. He may or may not still be for sale. (b) I don't know but he wants to leave. He may be willing to give up £3M or £4M to get his way. (c) Probably. (d) I have explained the situation regarding potential signings. There are options. (e) Arsenal won't get a new team.}

Regarding Ozil, he's declared Schalke as his favorite team so can't imagine he would join their biggest rival. Which isn't to say he won't leave Arsenal eventually, sooner or later.

Thanks for the reply Ed002. I was just curious if we were going to compete with Liverpool for Lemar or just give up. Sad to admit but I expected the answer I got.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal had their chance earlier in the window and were miles away from making an acceptable offer.}

I see Jeff Stelling from sky sports saying that liverpool might try to buy sanchez, if they sell Coutinho, how would that make any sense when he wants to leave to win things they win less than us, any thoughts on this? as i don't care at this stage he can go for all I care right now, no player bigger than The Arsenal.

Under Klopp Liverpool are on the up and Sanchez is as close as they could hope for to Suarez replacement
Will Liverpool win this season's title? I very much doubt it but with Sanchez they might well get within a few points of it.
Seriously if you was any player right now would you chose Arsenal over Liverpool? No one would with ambition.

Liverpool are on the way up, players like Sanchez will make them even better.
As a manager, in this instance Klopp, you identify a player who will improve you, in this instance Sanchez, you pay market value, and you sign aforementioned player, and you massively increase your chance of winning things.

Unfortunately, Wenger hasn't quite grasped that concept, despite being paid £10m per season.

He will only sell to man city or chelski, he won't sell to Liverpool, he sees them as direct rivals for European football. The other two will challenge for the league so they are not our rivals.

LOL Steve, Our dirct rivals appear to be Brighton and Spurs not any of the TOP 4. Absolute joke.

Anyone else think we need loose this 352 italia 90 formation that our players don't get and go 433 and stick at it. Also I question the heart of our players seems no pride of place in an Arsenal shirt anymore.

Get rid of at least 5 of our starting 11.

28 Aug 2017 01:27:26
It's got absolutely nothing to do with formation. It's to do with attitude and application.

28 Aug 2017 01:33:25
Good question, but how are we supposed to know how our formation works with the bosses' choice of personnel?

Holding/ Merts/ Kos at the back, bullerin and the hulk on the wings and elneny/ coq plus xhaka in the middle would at least give us a chance to understand.

Baffling.
