His staying with Leicester apparently

brianregan09

Won't believe either way till we get an announcement from the player himself

I hoped he wouldn't, but thought he might.
Looks like Arsenal aren't able to offer him more than money in his eyes.

Good news I think.

wandatowell

With Arsene's reluctantance to have more than one target this could be very bad news.

Fair enough if he is, fair play to him for standing by his team. That kind of loyalty is rare these days.

I assume there is a "hit list" we just move onto the next name.

DenMan

I still believe he's joining us. The reason the delay is that he's giving Leicester a day to look at potential transfers.

What? They have a whole summer to replace him.

tayto lover

Is there any proof he's not joining us lads?
If there is i'm really not too disappointed at all as long as we have someone else lined up.

Not with the Euro's and the Copa America on during it. Any potential transfers in should be done before the inflated prices of international football happen. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

You don't get it, do you? It's all a big game. There's a huge timing issue, the jersey sales, the media timing etc... It's hugely complicated. As far as I believe, it's a done deal. If it's not, then Mr Ornstein will now not be not the trusted one from AFC! He may have pissed off the board over something!

It would be if we were 48 hours away from the close of the transfer window. If he does refuse then we have loads of time to scope out and line up another target.

TBH given our recent history I would have hoped that the powers that be have learnt their lesson and had a number of potential targets lined up.

brianregan09

He's definitley on the way lads i just know it , With Xhaka I had a few days off and nothing happened, 1st day back at work the pics of him in the jersey leaked

I've been off since friday...Back to work tomorow

I'm so confused. How does Vardy delaying the decision help that? This feels like that time I watched Inception.

They may have transfers going on right now, a contingency plan in case some of their star players leaving. New players stepping up and assuming big roles within the club. I reckon Arsenal's four year plan is better than Leicester's. We'll have to find out.

gandalf

TBH I learnt my lesson with whole Higuaín fiasco. I got taken in by all the speculation that we were going to land him. Watched Twatter all the time soaking up all the rumours and then was absolutely gutted when it turned out to be bollix and he fecked off to Napoli.

Genuinely wasn't aimed at you. Or at least not intentionally. More so aimed at people who are hypocritically shunning Vardy for saying a word "some" deem to be racist, and the same people worshipped someone who was accused of raping someone.

The RVP thing was dropped I think. Though he was a bit of a scumbag. But then we probably would have been better off not signing him because he turned put to be disloyal.

As regards Vardy, I don't really mind if people overlook it or figure it was just once and he apologise.

I have a big big problem with the line it was something 'some' might deem racist or 'maybe he didn't know'.

People's bias means they can overlook things but it's important to call it as it is. Vardy's comments were bang out of order.

By all means let's assume it was once and once only but don't excuse him.
We're a hugely multicultural club.

I think Vardy might be more annoyed at the people who look like him these times then those who are a completely different race

Tbh this was always going to end in tears. Trying to be someone else can get irritating very quickly if you are that person being imitated.

I read somewhere else that he was tagging himself in Vardys photos on Facebook, including ones that had his son in them. I believe Mrs Vardy was very vocal about it on twitter saying that just because he has a season ticket doesn't give him the right to be a stalker. Creepy stuff altogether if true.

Yeah its a bit mad no doubt. Lad doesnt come across as the full ticket tbh but id honestly say harmless but daft.

Arsenal fans in such a frenzy in case we don't sign Jamie Vardy.


Honestly who would have thought this last week:)

honestly i dont care who we sign. i want wenger out to be honest as it doesnt matter who is on the pitch. Wenger is not capable of winning the big trophies anymore.

Be in vardy or Higuen, it dont matter. we still wont win the league or CL for that matter.

Whatever happens at least its very positive we're trying to get deals done this early. No one knew about Vardy until last Friday so it just goes to show you don't know what the club are actually doing in the background.

yea .

i guess its a positive thing. But i think the biggest thing that needs to change is the manager or his mentality.

Change that and we could improve. There is no point buying x y and z if wenger is still playing the same way or still manager .

He needs to change his ways. The biggest improvement for our club is from the high up

Well, we do have a 24 hour transfer team who had pretty much the entire summer off last year. About time they got the finger out.

Have u read how Barca have approached bellerin directly without our consent?

At least we have asked Leicster for approval first

If there's no reputable sources touting that story I wouldn't worry too much. That story was bound to be brought up this summer given the season Bellerin had and his Barca DNA. He'll be staying with us imo.

According to some journalist at the Telegraph, Vardy isn't going to make a decision until after the euros. Arsenal should move on and try for another one of their targets. Too risky waiting till then, especially if he has a great euros.

and there's nothing finer than a single scapegoat to blame. Don't confuse the fanbase by attempting to share it.

I personally think he has a point to a degree. Yes his form dipped and the stats prove that, but Ozil's stats also dropped. I don't think Giroud is 100% responsible for that.

I agree - still England could well be home in a couple of weeks anyway and not too much business happening while the Euros and Copa America are on.

No, I'm not blaming Giroud entirely. Sanchez was awful in March too if I recall properly. Ozil did go quiet in a few games tbf, but 90% of the time he was far and away our best player.

domrush

Apparently Walcott is staying and has agreed with Wenger to confine his role to the right wing for the coming season.

Poor Joel Campbell, can't believe he's being ostracised once again after putting in a fantastic effort every time he's played. A genuine desire to play, have an impact and some good creativity from him this season was a real shining light for me, why Wenger places no faith in him I've no idea? He should really be looking to make a move if he doesn't want his career to languish, which is a real shame IMO.

Bounty Hunter

Mahrez is not at the Euros being Algerian and all so expect that story to pick up

tancredi palmeri

"Arsenal have bid €32m (£25m) for Mahrez. Arsenal, before bidding for Mahrez, had several meeting with the player's entourage and the player is open for moving."

Ken Shamrock

Not selling Walcott is outrageous, complete drain on resources and keeping better more deserving players out of the picture.
