I do hope we go on a good run in the league as we have done in the previous years, maybe the 2 new lads will be the impetus behind it? I guess we just don’t know. If we do go in a good run (and let’s face it, Pool and Spurs are just as likely to lose a heap of games) we could quite easily get 4th. Sad demise of the club and the man. Sooner he’s gone the better.

"Wenger spoke to the Mirror after his side's unlikely surge to 4th place and said he was relishing leading his team back into the Champions League".

I think thats the headline none of us want to see.

Like why would Ozil waste his last few years with us? Shows a complete lack of ambition.

I have a feeling that promises of signing Aubameyang & also that Wenger will go in the summer could have something to do with it.

I always viewed Ozil as a massive Wenger supporter. Would be surprised if he would want him out.

Fantastic signing there for ye and if it convinces Ozil to stay on it will give ye a base to use going forward.. can’t wait to actually see him play in the league..

Yeah i'd agree but so were Fabregas, Van Persie et al, i think if he didn't believe change was around the corner he'd be off too.

Convinced Wenger will go in the summer, especially after how this transfer window has panned out.

Lots of rumor on the twitter machine (not from reliable usuals) that Arsenal are using the Aubamayang transfer to sneak in a centr half too.

He’s also just been announced by the club just now too!

Sanchez, Walcott and Coq out with Miki and Auba in was a great window, adding Giroud to Chelsea is a poor decision.

Giroud offers us something different and letting him leave is disappointing enough but to Chelsea is dreadful business.

Some positive signs this window tainted with the usual frustrations. If change is happening surely now the club and the man himself must see who needs to go, signings are pointless with Wenger in charge

Yes indeed. He truly hopeless and truly a narcissist. He can sign who ever wants to play at Arsenal, it will make no difference. Any talent will be diluted by the ineptitude and malaise of the management.

Plenty of time to bring Evans in.

So looks like we might be after a CB, and then it looks like Alex Song is a free agent, so he might be coming back to bolster the midfield :pac:

Wouldn't say no. He would be a very good option

Ok I'm confused.....it happens easily.

So the Deal for Auba supposedly hinged on Batshuayi to Dortmund and Giroud to chelsea. Yet, Dortmund appear to have announced on the back of themselves agreeing a deal for Batshuayi PRIOR to any announcement on Giroud.

Does this mean that if the Giroud deal doesn't go through the whole lot could still collapse, or is this a done, done deal......

Done Deal, basically us signing Aubameyang was done a week ago. We can't just announce it until Dortmund signs a replacement. Batshuayi is already having his medical in Dortmund when they posted their farewell to Auba

They done it to us with Djemba Ba a few years back. Payback time.

Seriously though I'd offer them Welbeck over Giroud. I like Welbz but there is more goals in Ollie. It will sicken me to see him at a rival. And I think Chelsea will suit Giroud too

Even if he can't he'd be better than the dud in the scum cap.

Get Elneny or Wilshere in there instead of Xhaka.

Possibly elneny, but wilshire pushes up too much, we need a makelele type midfielder in there, becasue our defence is sh!te

Skylinehead

That team won't work, far too lightweight in midfield. Probably stick with a 4 and chuck Elneny in there.

I think Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini would look crap in this team. No structure whatsoever and no protection from midfield.

The defence can only do so much.

If Leroy Fer is being routinely allowed to be in acres of space to run at your back 4, even Leroy Fer is going to cause you problems.

You can get rid of that clown in goals first off. As point out tho, it's very light in midfield.

Shocked to hear Alex Song is only 30 :eek:

We're not getting aubamayang.

We're never gonna offer what the club want, IF we do the lads a mercenary, he was fishing for a move to china or one of the Arab emirates last year, that makes him worse than a van Persie, worse than a nasri and even worse than Adebayor.

He's money mad, what's he gonna be paid at Arsenal...half what united/city/psg will pay is what. An absolute mercenary if ever I saw one of the same ilk as Pogba. Just using the media circus to his advantage. He an just ride out his contract like Sanchez and go for free to one of those clubs for double wages. It's not happening. He's not moving for football reasons.

He's never joining.

Quote me on this 1st of Feb.

Am I allowed to quote you a day early?

Ozil signed 3.5 year deal last weekend too! Not a bad day after last night’s shambles

If Arsenal do indeed sign a good CB it has been a brilliant window.

emmetlego

Sign a decent center half and I will have a small sex pee!

Ozil staying, as an outsider, was always far more important than convincing Sanchez.

Only signed this morning despite being agreed last weekend, so possibly so.

Jonny Evans is in for some shock when he is encouraged to maraude well beyond his own half way line. He'll be made to look a mug like the rest

Nothing changes until clueless Wenger is gone tbh. We've shipped more goals than the team currently at the bottom of the league.
