Winter Transfer Ignorance and Dart Throwing.

think regardless of who we appointed it is going to be difficult to keep Auba unless the appointment came with 10 points as well.

we don't have to get rid of him in January but agree to let him go in the summer if he continues to put in the performances.

laca has gone off the boil, so we will not score any goals.

Yeah, I agree - Arteta coming in will have given him a more reasonable excuse, but the fact is we’re probably looking at at least another 18 months without CL football, whoever had been appointed, and Aubameyang just doesn’t have enough years left to wait around and see how a rebuild pans out.

At this point I’d start thinking of replacements because trying to keep him is going to be massive waste of time and effort. If we can talk him into staying until the summer then I think we’ll have done well, but then if someone like Madrid come knocking with a good enough offer then I could see him being gone by the end of Jan...

[Marc Overmars]

If he wants to go then cool, he's done his bit for us and there are clearly far better places to play football than at Arsenal these days.

I think we need to be stern though and tell him he can leave in the summer with our blessing but not in January. I don't think it's a good idea to let him go next month given how productive he still is even though the team is struggling. We'd then be relying on Lacazette to become more prolific than he's ever been with us and also Martinelli to make a quick step up. Not worth the risk to remove by far and away the biggest goal threat in the team midway through the season.

Sounds like chambers is out for the season. Just like last year with holding our 2 bright hopes in central defence get season ending injuries.

[Ralpheroo72]

Cheeky loan bid for Ramsey?

[dazthegooner]

Think he's injured (who'd have thought?)

[I am invisible]

Makes more sense than Rabiot - probably the last player we need if we’re trying to turn the attitude of this group around!

[I am invisible]

Can’t even decide what kind of midfielder we need if/when Xhaka goes? Think we might end up needing two (although one can probably wait until the summer)...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lots of paper bollocks about Dayotchanculle Oswald Upamecano.

Arteta already linking us with the biggest names in world football.

Chambers ACL injury confirmed, so unlucky to lose another player to the same injury and feel for him just as he was moving up the pecking order. A CB surely has to be top of the shopping list in Jan now?

Yes a real shame, i like Chambo, he's got a good attitude and is a very useful player, able to slot into a few positions.

And agreed on the need for a CB, hopefully we can ship out mustafi too
