If you want evidence of how our performance in the last 10 years affects us, here it is plain as day.

Oh stop. We've signed Ozil, Sanchez, Cech and Xhaka in the last few years. Ozil specifically said he came because of a call Wenger.
Our stock might have fallen somewhat, but not to the extent you suppose.

He may already have made his decision. This transfer started two weeks before we knew about it apparently.

We won't win it next year, we still have Wenger at the helm.

The only hope I have is signing better calibre players now at least gives the next man something to work with in a years time (big assumption I know), and also keeps Ozil / Sanchez interested. Or at the very least gives us more enjoyable football to watch.

Comes down to money because if he's smart he'll realise last year was a one off. Defending the title with any team is immensely tough. Leave as a legend. Come to Arsenal, get more exposure for his sponsorship etc, better wages and hopefully when Wenger leaves have another shot at the title. He surely can't just want Leicester as the pinnacle of his club career.

I was looking at his stats, in the 4 seasons came from Fleetwood he's had 2 in the Championship and 2 in the Premier League.
In each pair he's not scored many in the 1st of those two and then done quite well in the 2nd - particularly last year of course.
So there is cause to think that on both occasions he's taken a season to bed in and get used to the new level and then done better the following year.
I still think last year was probably his annus mirabilis and he's unlikely to repeat it, but I don't think he'll be a complete flop next year wherever he is.

I was talking more about staying with Leicester and defending the title, rather than him as a striker. I still don't see how he would fit in with what we do and I struggle to see Wenger being able to successfully dump 10 years of playing one way in one summer, made worse by the Euro's. As always I'd love to be proved wrong but I just don't see it right now. There are rumours that his clause is time sensitive, in that he can only leave in a certain small window, which may explain our unusually proactive move for him. If stays at Leicester and doesn't come close to what he's done this year, then he might not get another chance like this. And while I'm not exactly behind this signing 100% it at least feels different and adds a bit of excitement for once.
