SkySports saying Vardy to have a medical today.

Eds, any update on what's happening with Szczesny?

{Ed025's Note - not at the moment glenn..

05 Jun 2016 12:14:25
Rumours appeared that we are discussions with Roma. I can't see him coming back, as he still appears to be extremely immature, despite having all the attributes to be a top keeper.

05 Jun 2016 13:10:02
Yeah, agree RG, Szczesny has all the skills to become a very good goal keeper and the chance to work with Cech should only of helped him, but he seems to have no interest in learning, I can understand not wanting to be second fiddle, but he's wasting a good chance to do learn here.

05 Jun 2016 15:26:03
Hopefully vardy is a done deal, so the Roma discussions are for manolas ;)

Seems like deja vu here will definatley sign by sunday will have medical by sunday decision to be made Monday Now will be an arsenal player b4 end of week what's next missed the sighning because liecester did not recieve paperwork in time.

Anyone know what's going on with this? Bookies seem to be cutting the odds on him staying at Leicester.

06 Jun 2016 16:29:03
What if we did not sign Vardy would people be out for Wengers blood or get behind him.

{Ed025's Note - i cant see why anyone would be after his blood G4ever, signing a home grown international can only be a good thing mate..

06 Jun 2016 16:43:31
Ed are arsenal interested in signing mahrez. I know that we are but i mean will that interest develop at all?

{Ed001's Note - at the moment he is making it known he wants to stay. Later in the window that might change, if Leicester shed players and look like struggling.}

06 Jun 2016 16:58:21
G4ever I'd get behind him, although saying that it depends on who he signed instead of vardy.

06 Jun 2016 19:53:45
Sorry ed025 i was asking if we did not sign vardy. i'm wanting everyone to come n support the the club for wengers final season regardless of who we sign Jegooner.

{Ed025's Note - i think they will G4ever, the man is a legend and even though the moans were starting to surface last season i think (no hope) that everyone realizes how much he has given to arsenal and treats the guy with the respect he deserves mate..

05 Jun 2016 09:18:15
Ed are we interested in Henrik Mikhitariyan because few week back I had read somewhere that Chelsea are in for him. Thanks.

{Ed025's Note - chelsea were front runners the last i heard BH but things can change so quickly in football, if they are willing to spend upwards of £80m to land pogba then how much will they have to strengthen elsewhere?, im thinking that if vardy comes in then any other forwards will depend on giroud leaving mate..

05 Jun 2016 10:19:51
The other day Ed we might have been signing vardy as well as Morata. Now it's just vardy. You're killing me Ed! Causing me actual pain!

{Ed025's Note - it looked like morata was the number 1 target CS but the money was an issue, i was thinking that vardy was a replacement for giroud but now it seems hes instead of morata!, i feel your pain mate but who,s to say vardy wont become the better of the 2?, xhaka and vardy is a damn good start to me mate..

05 Jun 2016 10:40:14
Ed025, are we (Chelsea) willing spend that much on him? :-)
And if I recall correctly, Being Human, there are some issues with Mkhitaryan that made us (Chelsea) step back our interest or something. I think it's looking less likely that he'll come to us right now. Hope that helps.

{Ed025's Note - apparently you are jackson, for me its spiraling out of control mate but i suppose if you,ve got it..flaunt it..

05 Jun 2016 11:03:33
good answer Ed025, but think another striker may well happen. hopefully we are looking to play a tad more direct and a bit like the last great team we had where we pressured more.

{Ed025's Note - i feel that if another striker were to come in then one would have to leave sagalout..that is of course if the vardy deal is completed mate..

05 Jun 2016 11:08:54
I can't deny a Pogba or Griezmann type of player would make me happy. However, I agree that the money is crazy in football right now. Clubs are willing to pay 60 million or something for players that have proven very little (e. g. Martial, Renato Sanches) . It's all becoming madness. But it's not our money, so I'm not going to really complain about it.

It can be frustrating though to think that many people work very very hard, they work their asses off (even more than 1 job) , but they don't even make 1% of what an average professional makes at the top level. Loftus-Cheek apparently got a 65k per week deal. That's outrageous.

{Ed025's Note - im with you on that jackson its obscene if you ask me but it is what it is mate..

05 Jun 2016 14:23:00
market value, is market value and our problem was that he wasn't prepared to meet it. Hopefully that's changed.

05 Jun 2016 18:05:21
Hope Giroud stays personally. He improves every single season, and his vision with those flicks reminds me of our great strikers 15 years ago at times. Easily one of my favourite Arsenal players of the last few years.

05 Jun 2016 08:11:02
Nasty feeling Giroud will still be the central striker and Vardy will play out wide to cover walcott leaving.

05 Jun 2016 09:23:47
Possible but I'd be very surprised, there seems to be a new acceptance at the club that we can't continue to do the same old things and expect a different outcome each season.
I think the expectation level from the Arsene/ club has moved up a couple of notches and we are seeing that with our very early activity in the transfer market.

05 Jun 2016 09:40:07
Let's hope!

AW is no fool, just overly loyal. When asked aboit Leicester towards the end of the season he said something like 'it is a wake up call to all managers, showing a different approach'. I think he has hamhed tactics a bit with accepting less possession, and if we have the players he feels can do it, will happily try something new. Lots of us would argue he should have done before, but I think that was because he had too much faith in some players.
