Much too much. Has he not learnt anything from 3 1/2 years with Wenger.?
Start at £50 and add £1 increments until she gets tired of haggling and accepts to do it for free.
I didn't know he was running against a Democrat.Quote:

I started boycotting the Emirates the season we signed Sanchez. Will only go again when Wenger leaves, so a bit gutted I never got to see him live.
He had his faults but as MO says, by far our most exciting player since Henry.
So Sanchez is gone, no real surprise, Man U get a world class player who can score a lot of goals, real coup for them and will take them up a level as they now have a real matchwinning up front.
Meanwhile we get Mkhitaryan a guy who flopped at Man U
Yay
Wenger said:
He can't defend I don't think (but then Wenger doesn't have a clue about defending so it makes sense he thinks he can defend). Apparently very commited as well, may be so but he's not a player who has any stomach for a fight when the chips are down.Quote:
Henrikh is a very complete player. He creates chances, he defends well, he can absorb distances and he's very committed as well. I must say he's a player who has all the attributes.
Not too sure what to make of this guy, we'll have to wait and see what he offers, but having seen him at Man U, underwhelmed to say the least.
Sounds like Dortmund want Giroud but separate to the Auba deal.
£55m is the price, hurry up and pay it. Can’t believe we’ve already low balled them.
Don't know who he's been watching but Mkhitaryan can't defend to save his life, he doesn't even pretend to defend. Which is why Wenger thinks he's a great defender I suppose. People will be surprised at how ordinary this player is. Or maybe they won't now Wenger has said he likes him. If he's so fucking good how come we weren't in the bidding when he went to Utd for 28 mill? Liar Wenger. Liar, liar, liar. PR scumbag. You just cost the club 80 mill, fucker. That's the real story here.Quote:

When is the cunt leaving? FFS.
Drag this out? Frantic bid in the last minute of the window? 90 mill? Might work.Quote:

Yes, about as fair as swapping a shiny Charizard for Pidgeotto.Quote:

You're right of course Man U got him for 26 million, no sign of us when they signed him, of course we'll take him now because that's what we usually do with Man U rejects noone else wants, take them of their hands and do them a favour.Quote:

It's what we do best, rather than stump up like most other clubs. We also wait ages between bids, if you offer 45 million and someone says no then it doesn't take a week to go back in with a higher bid, you know how much you're willing to spend at the end of the day.Quote:

“We did what we tried to do and went as far as we could (with money). Even Manchester City moved out of it in the end. That tells you we had no chance to give him a contract.”

Asked if the uncertainty over Sanchez had destabilised some of his players, Wenger replied: “yes.”
He added: “There are periods when the atmosphere is less enjoyable than others. It is the lack of clarity. It is not losing players – teams are used to losing players. But it is the fact that you have uncertainty in the group – that they don’t know if he will be here or not. Once it is clear, the team gets used to it.”
He literally couldn't wait to have a dig at Sanchez, fact it Wenger messed it up big time, who wants to play with a club with no ambition. If we do sign Aubameyang there's just one reason, it's because his precious top 4 is at stake, Auba can't play in the Europa league so he's clearly not bothered about that, plus we know that's the only time Wenger signs anyone, for top 4, embarrassing.
Just look at how he's trying to shift the blame for the dropped points of Sanchez, it's never the guys fault literally.
We have to get Auba now. It's the only thing that will make losing Sanchez more palatable. Mhiki alone just doesn't cut it.
Only Ty types believe a word that cunt says any more.Quote:

Frankly fans should be up in arms, the level of stupidity to have got ourselves in this situation is quite amazing, thing is by running down his contract he's basically been able to make people accept that we were losing him and that signing someone in return who hasn't turned up for 2 years is a good deal, we should never have been in this situation, we should be in a scenario where we have 80-90 million in our hands to spend on a replacement.
No excuse for this mess and this Man U reject changes nothing, why he didn't sell him last summer is beyond me, at least we would have had 60 million to play with and would have been able to bring a top class player in return (well, a normal manager with even moderate managerial ability would)
I like how you think that the 60mil would have been used to buy a player. More likely it would have paid Wengers wages for the next 7 years.Quote:

PROFIT = 70 mill so far.
Dortmund want 55 mill for Auba
We bid 45 mill
Why is that, I wonder? Because at 45 mill our transfer profit is 25 mill, just shy of the earnings we could have expected from another CL humiliation. Add in the few quid we earn from the Europa and I guess we have covered the loss of the CL for the year.
So every extra million we have to bid on Auba is cutting into their divine profits and will have an effect on the bottom line. We'll also need to pay Ozil to stay, so that cuts into things even more. An extra chunk will have to go out for Miki's and, possibly, Auba's wages. But Alexis', Theo's and Coq's wages are off the books so this must be close to break-even considering how much we wasted on Theo. They have clawed more of it back from Jack with his pay cut (LOL). And I hear they have cut back in the canteen (I'm not even joking).
2 billionaires, not a penny invested. A quarter of a billion in the bank for unspecified "stuff". That bank balance is always climbing. Highest ticket prices in the world, milking the fans for twice as much as the average gypo pays.
This is a profile of a miser club.
We could easily up that bid for Auba and still be swimming in cash even if we end up posting a loss for the year. But I suspect there's a lot more riding on the balance sheet than football activities.
Arsenal better not try to bill me for watching that for the last 20 minutes.Quote:

Hopefully he keeps the levels up or those final two years could be painful for them.
Hopefully he doesn't then!
Lol!
The whole things stinks to me......didn't even get extra cash with the deal in the end! If we don't get Aubameyang It will be an even bigger car crash.
I think had we sold Sanchez in the summer and signed Salah I'd have been gutted though.....so here's to hoping Mkhitarayan is the shit.
Lets not forget that Micki tore up the Bundesliga.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to his year at Man U. Mourinho didn't even think Salah and de Bruyne were good enough.
As long as Aubameyang comes in, then I think it’s fair to say we would have produced a good statement of intent. Signing him changes the complexion of Alexis’ departure completely.
As it stands though, we’ve been done with the swap. Even with all the will in the world I don’t think Mkhi will prove to be half as good as Alexis.
