True. We forgot to mention how he blames the fans for his fuck-ups.

We also pressured him into signing Welbeck when he wanted to start the season with Sanogo as our only fit striker. ;) Heck, we might as well have stuck with Sanogo considering Welbeck only managed to score 2 goals from 10 Premier League starts. Trash player.

Julian Draxler

Only been chasing Draxler for about 6 years, never got him so far, could have got him long ago, probably won't happen again, we're reknowned for chasing players for years and not signing them.

Selling Gabriel and Perez we will soon have the same net spend as Wolves

Will only happen if Alexis is going the other way.

Draxler will have many CL clubs chasing him why would he want to come here? Would show a lack of ambition in my opinion

I'll believe it when I see it with Draxler (just like any transfer involving Arsenal), he'll be taken a step down moving to Arsenal from PSG and there's probably bigger clubs with CL football who will be interested in him.

Let's stick with signing Mbappe and Lemar, I think if we go in with another £87,000,001 phantom bid we'll definitely get him, he's our number 1 target, so is Lemar.

I dunno. After one season with PSG he’s looking for the exit or is it PSG giving him the boot? Maybe a step down would suit him. It’s not as if he was tearing it up at Schalke or Wolfsburg either. We might be at the right sort of level for him to mature. Not too big but not too small. We really should consider him or Lucas Moura if they are available.

I'd take both as they're better than what we have for sure, not likely that we'll get them though let's be honest, first and foremost we'll go in with a low bid PSG will laugh at, someone else will then probably pay the asking price and that'll be that.

Arsenal aren't kidding anyone, when it comes to transfer they have no intention of spending money, we've spent 40 odd million and are no looking to recoup money, every other club is spending money left right and center, this isn't something new either, it's every single summer.
