It's probably best for us if this does happen so they drop their interest in Alexis. They're reportedly going to bid £35m.
In other news, we've rejected a 10m bid from West Brom for Gibbs.
Also reports PSG are prepared to go up to 70 mill for Alexis. No way will we be turning that down if it arrives within Stan's suction range.
We may as well sell him because all we intend to do otherwise is just waste another year of his career.
What's your point? <_<Quote:

And another defender for Citeh at mental money, given this guy doesn't play all that often.
Pep's doing what he's used to. Unlimited budget (which some might say is the secret to his genius), pick the exact players for the system you want. I guess it would be silly to suggest he not spend the money when he has it. But, for me, he remains an untested manager, despite all his trophies. Or maybe it's better to say he's a luxury manager. If you have all the money in the world then Pep can build you a decent team.
If we kept Sanchez where would Lemar actually play?
So much loyalty in one photo

Apparently 55mill is the final fee for Lemar and we're willing to pay it. Go on then. Pay it.
Marco Asensio is another player we are looking at, according to the Daily Express.
WHO????? (is the Daily Express? Anyone ever heard of them?)
Chelsea are interested in The Ox.
Can't help but feel selling him would be tinged with regret. I think a better coach would be able to get a lot more out of him.
I think a retarded monkey could get more out of him. But the board refuses to consider such an upgrade.Quote:

Perez unsurprisingly wants out. :wave:

Seems like he's been shafted. I wish Wenger was this ruthless with players who constantly fail to make the most of their generous opportunities to play.
I feel for him, been treated pretty badly. Whenever he played he looked decent, yet had to spend most of his time on the sidelines watching all Wenger's favourites making the same mistakes time and time again.
So pretty much our entire team thenQuote:

His crosses were sometimes accurate.
Accurate! I tell you!
So sure. GTFO Prerez. We don't want your sort here.
Apparently Wenger gave Perez's shirt to Lacazette and only told the player about it afterwards. You can say it's up to the manager and that's true, but you can also easily note what a shit man manager Wenger is. An incompetent idiot bumbling around at the helm of what used to be a great club.
Real Madrid have reportedly had a bid of 161m accepted for Mbappe. :lol:
FFS.
Monaco are going to have all the money, but no players left. Cant see them parting with Lemar as well now.
Swansea have turned down 40m for Sigurdsson because they value him at 50m :haha: Football has gone mad.
It's obscene, to be honest.
People will still have a go at Wenger for not landing Mbappe but would anyone even consider spending that much?
Looks like everyone will get their man from Monaco.
Except, you know who. I guess fucking around with a 30 mill bid for a 50 mill player wasn't the smartest move. Ah well, it was nice imagining for a while we might go into a season with a strengthened squad. Just Alexis and Ox to sell, a few items of dross to renew contracts for and we're done.
Nobody would call Wenger a cock for refusing to spend 160mill on a kid who may go the way of all those other "wonderkids" (and probably will if he joins those Spanish turds). Plenty of legitimate stuff to criticise Wenger over, without having to invent anything.Quote:

All-in, the Mbappe deal will cost Marketing a quarter of a BILLION quid. That used to be the cost of a CL winning squad.
Many outlets reporting we have lemar in the bag. I'll only believe it when he's pictured on arsenal.com wearing a red and white shirt
We'll sign him If There's Any Justice In The World.Quote:

All I see is that we're going back with another bid.Quote:

I'm just a bloke on a little visited web site and I said 50 mill a month ago. Monaco reckon they can get 80mill if Lemar puts in another good season. So we were always going to have to make a bid that took that into account. What did we do? We bid 30 mill. Stupid. Wenger trying to enforce his value system that everyone else ignores.
Now that Monaco have sold most of their top stars, I reckon it might take 60 or 70 mill to prise this player away. Maybe even the full 80.
Is he worth that? Of course not. Are any of these players worth their fees? Nope. Well maybe Ronaldo to Madrid, but that's about it. Will we see a dramatic transformation with Lemar in the team? Nope. We'll be better but still subject to all the usual flaws. Is Lacazette worth the money? Nope. Wenger won't use either of these players properly anyway.
This is a moneygoround that is spinning faster and faster and has lost all perspective. Wenger is being dragged into this market kicking and screaming no doubt. He's not wrong to think this is a nuthouse. But he just signed up for another 2 years in the loony bin. His choice. If he wants this player he needs to put all ideas of value out of his head, make a proper bid and get the thing done. Otherwise give it a rest.
And anyway, aren't we only trying to sign this guy so we limit the fuss when Alexis gets sold to a major rival?
Very average transfer window so far, happy with Lacazette (at last we've signed a decent striker) but really we need more than that, most of the other teams have gone out and signed a number of players to improve their squads and so far we only have one (I'm not including the freebie as I don't know much about him and am yet to be convinced he's up to the job).
Amost the end of July, we really should have most of our business done by now, this Lemar rumour persists but I'm not sure it's even real, just like the Mbappe one which was total BS, even if it is real now that Monaco have sold half their team the likelyness of us getting him is getting smaller by the day.
As usual though we're not doing what we need to in the transfer market and on top of that none of the 3 players with one year left have signed new contracts, we're also lumbered with a load of dead wood we don't seem to be able to get rid of due to their wages and the fact they're rubbish.
Saw this in the Daily Fake News and it made me chuckle:
Sounds very reasonable. Stick in a £240mill bid for both and sue Monaco in a quick and decisive case that shouldn't cost more than £100mill in shyster dues. I can see this happening. Really looking forward to the season now.Quote:
Lemar & Mbappe will BOTH be at Arsenal soon. Both players have stated that they are only interested in joining Arsenal and with or without contracts Monaco cannot stop them leaving as French law makes it illegal to restrict any ones right to change their employer regardless of contracts.
It's on!
That's one way of doing it I suppose. Will we see him in an Arsenal shirt again? Oh well, if he wants to go then go, I suppose. Won't make any difference to the final outcome anyway.Quote:
In-demand Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez claims to be struggling with illness, casting doubt over his return to first team action with the Gunners.
Arsene Wenger had claimed on Thursday that the Chile international, whose future at the Emirates remains uncertain, would be back training with his team-mates this Sunday.
But Sanchez has fuelled speculation that he could be out for more time, yet, by claiming he is currently ill.
£50,000,001 bid on the way.Quote:
Monaco have rejected Arsenal’s latest £50million offer for winger Thomas Lemar, after Sportmail revealed that the Gunners would submit a third offer for the France international.
The bid has been turned down by the Ligue 1 club as they look to keep hold of Lemar, one of their remaining star men.
Monaco chiefs insisted earlier this week that the 21-year-old is not for sale, despite the fact the French club have seen host of their top players leave this summer.
We paid 17 mill and are about to sell him for 8 mill. Wenger let him on the pitch 21 times in total, compared to Sanogo's 20 appearances. Perez will have been on the books for 1 year. Sanogo for 4 years.Quote:
PEREZ AT ARSENAL
Appearances - 21 | Goals - 7
Shot accuracy - 80 per cent
Chances created - 7
Pass accuracy - 78 per cent
Wenger is a POS. #StainOnTheClubQuote:
