Great, we might be replacing one player who wants out with another who doesnt appear to want to come to the club either.

If that’s true, then it’s a farce. Even more farcical than usual farcical Arsenal standards. If united want him, they must pay. Wenger needs to send a message now, either get what he’s worth or let him rot on the bench!

When do swap deals ever work?! I just can't see it happening myself.

So Arsenal are stalling on the fact that they don't want to Sell Sanchez unless there's a player coming the other way OR if we can find a replacement elsewhere..but there's a time limit, the offer of 20/30 million for Sanchez expires in two weeks time at which point he'll be worth zero, cost us another couple of million in wages AND be poison for the team. This is a no brainer, get rid and get rid FAST.

Mkhitayan isn't gonna make or break our season either way. Our season is done. Just get the best deal for Arsenal right now and pray that we spend some of it in the summer.

Id agree with this. Give Mickity a day or two to think it over and then flog Sanchez anyway.

I can't blame Mikitiryan for stalling. We're horrendous this season

I can imagine him speeding towards the examination room and bungling straight into the receptionist.

Is he not the f*cker that has all these superstars but has never done any deal with Arsenal? Ir is that Mendes? Or both?

Can’t understand why he didn’t just sign up for city straight away.

He could realistically now end up staying with us after all. What a cluster fcuk from him and Arsenal FC.

Really don’t see this happening, we won’t pay the wages he’ll want!

As I was reading somewhere on Twitter, it's some going by Sanchez to price himself out of moves to the likes of Bayern and City.

He does have to be a little bit careful. If we were to make him rot until the summer, I wonder what offers will come for a player that is about to turn 30 and hasn't been playing.

Mendes is Ronaldos agent and Maoila represents Pogba. Both the worst type of parasite going. Ronaldo bought Mendes an island iirc a few years back

Utopia Parkway

Surely Arsenal wouldn't accept a Mikitiryan for Sanchez swap deal? Mikitiryan by all accounts seems to prefer a move back to Germany.

Maybe he could be rehabilitated at Arsenal but you'd have to be wary of taking a player who maybe has to be convinced by his agents to move to your club. Just to make the Sanchez deal happen.

Arsenal is a clusterfcuk of a club under this regime.
Can't do anything right it seems.
The home game with Palace could be very interesting. The fans are rightly angry now. Poor performances, poor manager, poor governance and no chance of even the old Top 4 Cup.
Interesting times ahead.

If Mick O'Tariyan joins it will be nice to have an irishman back on the playing staff. How i long for the days of the last great Irishman at Arsenal, Gilbert O'Silva

I'm starting to sit up and take notice of what Sven Mislintat and Raul Sanllehi are doing behind the scenes.

Coquelin has been moved on less than 12 months after Wenger rewarded his dross performances with a bumper new contract, Giroud is now rumoured as being made a makeweight in the Aubameyang deal, Debuchy is being ushered out the side door back to France and the poster child of the Banter Era is off to Everton for actual money!

And all this in just one window....impressive.

There also seems to be a plan in place for when Sanchez waves goodbye - Aubameyang, Malcolm and Mkhitaryan - and I think the aim would be to end up with two out of the three of those.

No doing it on the fly, no making it up as we go along but an actual plan of moving the dross out and replacing them with real potential and quality.

That ain't no Arsene Wenger way of doing business so I reckon there are moves being made behind the scenes which hopefully he takes umbrage to and F's OFF.

Feeling some hope today.

Love the optimism, feels dangerously out of place on this thread though.

Pretty good observation to be fair to you. We'll know when the transfer window closes.

I hope you're right. As it stands, we're just offloading a bunch of players. We're always linked with all kinds of crazy names who we never come close to signing.

We all need to keep this in mind.

Ain't nobody signed yet, don't get caught up in it till we do.

(The most real hope is we can offload a couple of our problem players).

What Wenger said about Mike Dean....

I dunno bout any of ye but I'd be very disappointed if we lose Giroud. He offers something very different at times when we need to change things around and has a good record for us

So in this window we are going to sell our second best scorer (Sanchez), our third best (Giroud) and our fourth best (Walcott) who in total account for 19 of 60 goals we have scored this season (in all competitions).

That sounds like a wonderful idea!

I know the season is already ****ed, but the thought of having to rely on two players (one of whom is Welbeck) to get us goals for the rest of the season would be a whole new level of ****.

I've been a season ticket holder for 40 years of my 46 supporting Arsenal....a club steward for 12 of those. Sanchez is a great player but not a club player, it's all about the money for him like so many others. There have been many better TRUE arsenal players in those years than him. The mere fact he's looking at Man Utd over a reunion with Pep speaks volumes.

I've been expecting him to move for ages such is his body language, RVP move was a killer.

If we showed a bit more ambition as a club there is no way in hell he would be signing for Utd.

Wenger is his own worst enemy.

If he had not been so stubborn on many occasions and was more ruthless in signing players he would have more trophies to his name.

Only signing cech that summer was when his luck finally ran out.

Its a pity he wouldn't change, how many times have we been one or two great players away from a title?

Giroud will be a huge loss. He adds something different up front. Walcott won't be a loss. He should have been sold a few years back.

Remember he left us with only Giroud and Walcott as our only main strikers too when we were top of the table in January. Then when the window closed Giroud got injured. Cant remember what season it was. Then the absolute shambles of that transfer of the Swedish fella we signed with a broken back :pac:

Diarra, gilberto and flamini all leaving in one window and been replaced with denilson is one that ill never forget.

brianregan09

Aubamayang would be a massive signing in fairness lads , especially if we re unite him with Mihki

and on the plus might give Ozil a reason to re sign aswell get rid of a petulant Sanchez , and rubbish we're not using (coq, walcott, debuchy)

That's not how it happened!

We signed Diarra 6 months earlier, but Flamini was outrageously good alongside Fabregas. So Diarra wasn't happy, and was sold that January. Gilberto was probably declining at that point, so he left the next summer. Of course, Flamini went on a free transfer to Milan the second he showed anything, so that messed us up. Then Denilson, urgh.

We still need a few class defenders though.

Denilson signed in September 2006 the same day as Gallas and Cole swapped and also Baptista and Reyes.

He was a good prospect but never really developed. To be fair to him he needed a few proper experienced leaders around him. Im not sure he was a defensive midfielder either.

At times i look at Xhaka and he makes Denilson look as good as Makelele with the fúck ups he makes :pac:

If Wenger stays yet another year will we avoid relegation?
Who should replace him if he goes at the end of this season?
Does he deserve a place on the Board or would he continue to be a hindrance?
How do we get rid of the entire crew, Board and manager?
Should fans openly protest at remaining games?
