Sky sources understand Arsenal are very happy with their transfer business this summer.

The Gunners have signed two players - Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette. - Skysports

here we are tearing our hair assuming something wrong behind the scenes...but they're jolly happy.

SANCHEZ LATEST

Arsenal have received no further bids for Alexis Sanchez and will not accept a cash offer as they don't have enough time to do a deal for the level of player they require to replace the Chile international.

The Gunners feel they've done good business getting £40m for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the last year of contract and are not minded to sell Sanchez, who they want to keep at the club.

The source has been revealed to be I. Gazidis, from north London.

No amount of spin will cover this shambles up. The club is spiralling out of control, on and off the pitch.

My only hope is that they are sitting on a massive transfer and have to keep it all quiet until it's done to stop others swooping in. I know. Delusional. I need help.

That's where they are all wrong, they shouldn't be looking to replace Sanchez, they should be looking for more top quality players to play alongside him

There's a bit more to this

"Contrary to reports, Arsenal have money to spend but what amounted to significant funds a year ago, may not be considered big money now in context of some of the deals that have been done in Europe and elsewhere in the Premier League this summer."

Sky Sports Sources at Arsenal -

Well that's depressing

batistuta9

Chile are playing at 23:30 tonight, so perhaps Sanchez future will be sorted early.

Or maybe they mightn't bother with a medical all, then the Spanish transfer window is open until tomorrow night so still chances of players going there - Perez obviously, but who knows barca might get desperate & resign Alexis

The Red Lad

Had a dream we signed Van Djik quite depressing to wake up and realise reality. 6th at best this season even at that it's optimistic players do not want to play for Wenger its as clear as crystal.

I'm not an Arsenal fan, but I just cannot fathom how Kroenke does not want to sell Sanchez now for cash rather than let a realisable asset walk out of the club for free in a few months.

It just does not seem like him.

If it is true, I guess Vince McMahon was right when he said Kroenke should be arrested for being a terrible businessman.

jester77

I am still trying to figure out why Wenger hung on giving what is happening behind the scenes. We are only 3 games into the season and it is already looking like a write off with players leaving and others not wanting to be there. He could have left with his dignity in place but the way things are turning out he probably will not last the season, there will be too much pressure from fans and media.

I'm sure Kroenke does want to sell Sanchez, he doesn't care about Arsenal the football team.
I said yesterday that I'd sell Sanchez, but now I'm backtracking on it. **** Kroenke, I'd rather see Sanchez leave on a free than that slimey leech get the £60-£70m which won't be put back into the playing squad. The season as far as I'm concerned is done, have zero expectations so it makes no odds whether Sanchez throws a strop for the season.

Ox officially confirmed to Pool.

now been linked with Barkely. As a replacement for Sanchez? No thanks!

He's injured as well isn't he ?

Well then he's the perfect replacement! :Rolleyes:

Nemeses2050

Sky saying Everton interested in taking Lucas on Loan, but he prefers loan to Deportivo.

5star02707

Newcastle and Everton interested on Lucas but like stated above he prefers to move back to Spain.

Again no point keeping players who doesn't want to play for the club.

Mustafi looks like a dead deal since we could not find any replacement.

Glad that Ox transfer has been confirmed. Who's left? Debuchy and Sanchez ?

Harsh on Perez, im sure he'd like to stay but the manager clearly has no time for him.
Debuchy is on somewhere in the region of 60-70k a week playing for the U23's. Not too shabby if you can get it

gandalf

At this stage we need to take Debuchy for a "walk in the woods" with a shovel and shotgun.....

You could bring a few others on that walk too.

Arsenal are a bit tight for cash at the moment, but once they have the stadium in LA built we'll be in a stronger position to buy players......

Lol yeah right! Kroenke won't be investing in Arsenal at all. Our cash pile gives him leverage for projects like that and will continue to as long as he is the majority shareholder.

Joel Campbell on his way to Real Betis, Jack Wilshere on his way to West Ham apparently, Arsenal on their way to obilivion

Nemeses2050

Sky Sports reporting Man City have been in contact with Arsenal in the last hour and have made a second bid for Alexis Sanchez.

The new fee is unknown at present. Still no other players involved. - Skysports

"Manchester City make cash bid of £55m, plus £5m in add-ons for Alexis Sanchez."

The papers and other media seem to be full of rubbish today. All guess-work.
Don't buy into it lads. We're getting nobody and that's not guess work, that's reality. Wenger will be out with the excuses tomorrow.

Ol' Donie

Just out of interest I notice that FC Koln have a net spend of around £30 million, compared to our net profit of €20 million for this window.

Like, the relative easy pickings of the Uefa cup group stage contains teams that are willing to spend far more than us on strengthening.

Thank f*ckin Jesus in heaven we're not against the actual big teams in Europe this season.

We're back in for Lemar according to Sky. I seriously doubt it tbh

Sure what are we going to do with him? Keep him on the bench until Monreal gets injured?

This is because we have agreed to sell Sanchez imo.
Wenger just getting the excuses in that we tried to sign Lemar but ran out of time. If he was going anywhere he'd be heading to Liverpool again just my opinion.

keano_afc

Wilshere to Stoke on loan apparently.

Alexis close to sign for City for £55 + £5. Arsenal asked for few hours to sign Thomas Lemar, which they confident they are going to do

If Lemar wants to arrive into this sh1tshow then id lose all respect for him. Why would any top player come to the emirates

£50m quid in wages over the next few years would probably have something to do with it.

Everyone up in arms it seems -

Arsenal having a 'mare




Arsenal


Akhil Vyas, Arsenal Supporters' Trust:
1. For Arsenal, it's turned into a bit of a 'mare! We are in serious danger of losing Alexis Sanchez with potentially no replacement. There's is a dilemma between internal or external disruption with Alexis.
This should have been resolved weeks ago.
2. A good day now for Arsenal realistically would be either keep Alexis or sell but replace him with a Draxler type signing. But we fear we could up with no one coming in & Alexis going out which would be a huge blow

Now we're in trouble lads

and the Mail. I think Arsenal will sell Sanchez to City if they can get someone of Lemar's calibre in, otherwise he won't be moving.

sonic85

I'd rather the club don't bring in any new players at the moment. Until there's change at the top it would be just like adding a set of alloys to a Lada - all show but no go.

Unless the player is absolutely world class then it's going to make no difference to this season

emmetlego

If Sanchez goes then we're rightly f****d unless they sign a Lemar or Draxler type. If that happens, I'd be quietly happy or less angry should I say.

Let Alexis off if he wants it. Don't blame him. Getting a high quality replacement is a must though!

tayto lover

I wonder what Walcott's like as a right back?

we'd actually be better off (depending on his quality of course). A new signing would be signing a 4 or 5 year deal wheras Alexis will be off for nowt next Summer.
