Winter Transfer Panic Buying and Misery.

Not gonna get my hopes up for recruitment, but it sounds promising re: departures - even if all we do is remove some of the crap I'll call that a win.

I think realistically this is the most likely to happen;

OUTS
Kolasinac (loan)
Mustafi
Sokratis
Saliba (loan)
Chambers (loan)
Plus a few more youngsters out on loan

INS
1 creative midfielder, most likely a loan e.g. Isco
Experienced back up keeper, would probably need to be British
The young CB from Berlin

Can't see Ozil budging, seems quite content to sit on his contract until the summer.

Nelson might get a loan, Arteta doesn't seem to like him much.

Apparently he's been injured but I agree he doesn't get much of a look in. Could be a loan in Jan and then sold in the summer.

I know not all the youngsters will make it, but I'd be disappointed to see him go knowing we're stuck with Willian for another 2 years.

Sounds like Arteta wants to keep him.

The lack of agitation and noise from some of the underused younger players is kind of interesting? Normally you'd have stories being leaked to papers and agents getting more vocal the closer you get to a window, but it's all very quiet? It only seems to be a handful of senior players rocking the boat, atm...

Wouldn't be surprised if Sokratis and Mustafi were loans that are made perm in the summer - can't see anyone paying good money for them in January when they'll be free in a couple of months. Just get them off the wage bill - that will be enough.

I'd also consider sending Ceballos back to Madrid and giving more minutes to AMN and Willock? He hasn't been brilliant for us, he clearly doesn't see his future here and he seems to start a lot of fights - not sure he's worth the effort.

[Gooner23]

Not ideal but its probably the best we can hope for given his salary, which I suspect we are subsidising.

I stand corrected, apparently he's taking a big pay cut so we don't need to subsidise his wages.

Kolasinac off to Schalke on loan, that's one down!

Bye.

[Globalgunner]

All we need now is for David Beckham and Justin Bieber to get on the phone and entice Ozil over to Miami

[Mac76]

It's great to see us farming Kola out but i'll never be totally happy until both Xhaka and Mustafi have gone, i hate them both
