With all due respect would ya ever piss back to your own thread with your bullshíte, as no one in here agrees with ye.

You've already admitted you were wrong, and that's before you even take into account the fact that Koscielny would make the starting XI also. There is certainly an argument to made that Lacazette gets in ahead of Lukaku also.

Eh no I will not and less abuse please.

I'm making a fair point. Also lacazette? Has he scored this season. Koscielny wouldn't be ahead of Smalling, Jones, Bailly, Rojo.

A fair point and i wouldnt pretend we are in the same league as the top four at this point in time. I would argue though that if Sanchez feels he needs to win leagues then City is a better option but any other choice would suggest he is only interested in money. I mean there is a medal all but there for him already at City and i think he will achieve more under Pep than under Mourinho

I disagree over the medium term but fair point. Also a medal half through the season is pretty worthless.

When you make ridiculous comments like " has lacazette scored" when he scored against you, you lose any footing you had in the argument

Not sure what you expect coming in with this garbage

'You're first team wouldnt get in our second 11 to best honest. We are on the way up for sure...you guys seem to have a long road ahead.'

I'd still rather have Wenger than Mourinho as a manager.

No its not. If you meet the minimum requirement of games, score a few goals, make a few assists, and help the team get over the line then its worth a lot. Alot can happen in four or five months.

Id rather have neither. Two has-been egotistical stiffs who need to p1ss off. Both are set in their ways

Not even going to get bothered by all this rubbish. Transfer windows are always a joke where we're concerned.

Thanks miki.

Dont want him if he doesnt really want to come plus seems to be on the decline.

emergingstar

Hope we get mhki

But you can understand any player having reservations about coming to us

We’re a shambles at the minute

Two of those would be nice. Not sure about Mkhitaryan (and he's clearly not sure about Arsenal, who can blame him) but he played well with Aubameyang.

Now we wait for all to collapse and we end up with Kim Kallstrom again.

Quazzie

As soon as I hear of a swap deal, I usually just zone out because it's one in a million that these things actually happen.

Wheeliebin30

Looks like we could be making a profit again.

Where did the ox fee disappear too?

I think that's fair enough. We wouldn't want Jack to be signing up to a bumper deal and then getting injured. We need/want him to be playing.

I also wonder how much influence Jack's resurgence has had on Ozil. He's made no secret of the fact he wants the #10 jersey, and I guess at one point it might have looked like Jack was going to possibly not return to the club and Ozil could have had it. Not likely now.

Getting roughly the same for Walcott as we do for Sanchez says it all

I like Jack, not near as much as some people on here, but he's easy on the eye, a good ball player and has a lot of tenacity about him.

I worry about his overall effectiveness though, doesn't seem to impact the game in the final third that much at all so I would be very hesitant in making him our no. 10.

I think he was literally talking about the #10 jersey and not the position.

I have a terrible suspicion that by the time the Palace game rolls around, we'll have sold Sanchez and Walcott but brought no one in. I don't buy this whole 'Sanchez swap deal with Mkhi or no deal' business. If Utd offer 30m and Mkhi doesn't want to come, we'll sell. And I think Dortmund will ask for a Aubameyang fee that will cause us to walk away. As for Malcom, Bordeaux seem very keen to hold onto him unless the fee is exobitant.
I really hope I'm wrong but I can't see two out and two in. We'll be lucky to get one.

UnknownSpecies

Have to agree with that. It reeks of the old "oh we tried really hard but couldn't get the deals over the line" malarky we've been fed over the years.

I'd trust our crowd as far as i'd throw them and that's not very far.

Oh, haven't you heard? We're offering our puskas winner to Dortmund as a sweetener

We'll make a profit this window, but we tried, thats the main thing.

So Raiola has spoken to The Times. The last quote is a cracker: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mino-raiola-henrikh-mkhitaryans-transfer-to-arsenal-is-key-to-manchester-united-deal-for-alexis-sanchez-k8mz57vn2

Quotes:
"Manchester United are not going to sign Sanchez unless Mkhi agrees to join Arsenal."

"Mkhi is going to do what is best for him. He has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, so it's his decision."

"Sanchez is part of the Mkhi deal, not the other way around."

keano_afc

Oh come on. Its almost like you guys dont trust the 24 hour transfer team that we have in place to scour the world and get deals over the line.

Next you'll be telling me we have stockpiles of money we refuse to spend.

SlickRic

It's being reported (by the Daily Mail, so make of that what you will) that Jack Wilshere will be offered a new contract, but will have to take a wage cut.

Surely this is nonsense? Or have Arsenal plunged even further into farce?

Its specifies a lower base with lots of incentives, what's wrong with that? His injury record is shocking.

do you reckon the incentives will bring him up to the same wage as he's currently getting? He already has incentives in his contract.

tayto lover

Yes indeed.
Jack will take a pay cut.
Sanchez will go, Walcott will go, Coquelin gone.
We might get Michataryan from United.
Quids in. Great window for the Board. Well run club.

I'd imagine it's something like instead of gettiing 60k per week and 5k per game playing bonus, he is now getting 50k per week, but 15k per game playing bonus. Therefore if he stays fit an plays, he gets the same money.

Soups123

JW10 looks back to his best the past few weeks. We've carried injured players for years, we have to know the autonomy of his ankles at this point and if he's always high risk then the offer should reflect that. He seems a reasonable guy never seems to be about the money with him.

You would have to think even this club has atleqst 2 replacements lined up if the above goes through.

The players being mentioned seem reasonably priced the right calibre and long term options

The problem is it makes so much sense I don't believe it for on minute

He's still a 1-in-2 goal scorer. He's far from world class, but he will still get a solid 10-15 goals even from the wing, imo. We just completely changed our style of play and he doesn't fit for us at all any more.

Mkhitaryan's agent (also represents Pogba & Ibra) has just gone public saying any deal involving Mkhitaryan and Sanchez will be a straight player swap with no transfer fee involved. He claims that the deal is stalling because Mkhitayan hasn't agreed to joing Arsenal yet.
