Hearing from multiple places that Mahrez and Lacazette are done deals? Eds can you shed any light?

{Ed001's Note - personally I expect both to go through at some point this window, but I do not know of any 'done deal' right now.}

Thank you for the quick reply ed. My thoughts are providing that these deals are legit. Either our pursuit of Lemar has ended or if we are still interested then I believe Sanchez or/ and ox are going to be on their way. Which is disappointing but atleast our business is getting done early.

{Ed001's Note - I believe Monaco are not looking to sell Lemar and will only sell for obscene money. They had an agreement dating from the previous summer to sell Fabinho this time around, which they are honouring. That sale ensures they can play hardball with the rest and only sell if it suits them or the player wants to go.}

I like mahrez, but if we continue with 3 at the back and use wing backs, not sure where he wit fit in?

{Ed001's Note - as part of the front 3 I would expect.}

If we lose Sanchez, as expected, I would be happy to see Mahrez in an Arsenal shirt, providing he can reproduce his performances from the Leicester title winning team.

The Ox? Sorry I just don't see the fascination with him.
I don't want him to leave, but £20m for an injury prone player who has flashes of brilliance, no brainer.

I think we need to be mentally prepared for Sanchez leaving and lacazette being a replacement.

The hope is that Arsenal and Bayern can agree something!

Lacazette is much more like Sanchez than Tomas Lemar. In fact, Lemar is more like Ozil.

Bare in mind Sanchez led the attack for most of the season.

I expect a front three of:
Lacazette
Ozil
Welbeck

With Walcott / Oxlaide / Iwobi as cover.

Perez may leave, in which case wenger make look at one more attacker.

I think that's probably it for the summer unless Ospina leaves.

I'm physically prepared for Sanchez leaving mate but not mentally prepared 😂.

We need to keep Sanchez regardless if he has no interest in a new deal. Like Saurez, winning is in their DNA. Saurez was desperate for a move and pushed for it as much as humanly possible. Rogers stayed strong, kept him beyond all odds and thanks to his unreal season they nearly won the league. I say let's prove to him and the loyal fans we are a force again!
