Mikhtarayan - Lacazette- Aubameyang
:wacko:
Sven. :bow:
Who saw that coming, after signing Lacazette in the summer?
This is the biggest shift in transfer policy we've seen under Wenger.
Let's just wait for the official announcement. Wenger could still strike back.
Our best strikeforce since the invincibles?
Wenger:bow:
We can field a midfield full of technical players again.
Iwobi-Ozil-Wilshere-Ramsey-Micky.
Wenger :bow:.
Hard to disagree.

Carling cup is ours tbh:bow:
Constantly written off but pulls off another madness :bow:
Lord Wenger:bow:
Shift in transfer policy :haha:
It hasn't been confirmed yet (from what I've read we haven't even agreed a fee yet) and even if it does we sold Sanchez (our best player and top goalscorer) and 3 other players to pay for him, hardly a change in transfer policy, just spending money we got from selling players and nothing more.
Yes we got Mkhitaryan but Man U wanted rid and convinced us it was the best deal for everyone (them).
Not being funny but we'd need a lot more than that to point to a shift in transfer policy.
Jeremy Wilson:
Aubameyang also stands to become Arsenal's highest ever paid player. Dortmund still want replacement before signing off/announcing. Talks ongoing today about Giroud.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was due to give evidence at Borussia Dortmund team bus attack trial in Dortmund today. Will not be attending due to illness. Does not have to attend at all now.
'Illness' :bow:
He's going to fire us to victory in the CarrierBag Cup!
£180k a week apparently
Which is 120k a week cheaper than if we'd kept Alexis. So they can't complain there either and should have enough in the kitty to pay Ozil.
And they might rethink that crazy pay cut for Jack while they are at it.
Absolutely no point getting players in one minute and seeing other players leave the next. Time to knock this forever transition period on the head and build a team.
Let's look at the Wilshire situation, he's basically been with us years and has been very very injury prone, suddenly with his contract running down he puts together 8 or so games without getting injured (not a lot on reflection and not really proof of his fitness), this reminds me of when Walcotts contract was running down and he had a great season before renewing (after very indifferent form before that), once Wilshere signs on he'll probably be injured half the time again, wouldn't surprise me if injuries that would have put him out of games before are suddenly not an issue with his contract running down and the world cup round the corner.
I can understand the club giving him an incentive based deal to be honest, we've had this with Diaby, Rosicky etc in the past where they've been on big contracts and barely played for a decade, you have to draw the line somewhere and take a different stance. If Wilshere loves the club as he claims he'll sign the contract and stay, he'll still be earning big money and if he performs stay fit earns as much if not more than before.
If he doesn't sign it it's probably either because he's more interested in the money than people believe, or he doesn't even believe he'll stay fit and be able to achieve the bonus targets.
He's good player and all that, but he's literally played a handful of games after years of being injured and people want him to be captain and be offered a new contract, he's not proved anything a few games doesn't really show much, for me the club is doing the right thing. If he decides to leave that's on him, it's not like losing Ozil, Wilshere isn't really a key player and is replaceable.
Should tighten up the defence nicely!
Welcome Auba!
What were you thinking!!!

Pierre!
Welcome to the shit show :clap: :yippee:
Hopefully he’s had his Wengeritis jab.
Welcome Aubameyang, quality player signed.
Be interesting to see how he does in this average team.
Hopefully at 28, its too late for him to be Wengerized.
I liked what i saw from Mkhi yesterday, he seemed to pass and move a lot quicker than the other Arsenal players and hopefully his connection with Auba can speed our game up.
Wenger :bow:
:run:
Amazes me this deal why would he want to come to Arsenal he surely must have seen how poor we are and how we've got little hope of being in the CL and play rubbish football (though on the continent they probably still believe we play champagne football).
But then I guess he was desperate to leave Dortmund and is getting much more money and there were no other takers.
:pal:
I think turning up to post "Wenger :bow:" and nothing else whenever something remotely positive happens is more worthy of a :pal:.
Good signing, but our squad is so unbalanced it's actually quite comical.
Letters :fingers:
You do realize of course that Sven and Ivan got tired of Wenker's two lowball offers and just went above his head to secure a deal.
Sven & Ivan :bow:
I note that Liverpool have actually conceded more goals than us in the 13 away games theyve played but have amassed 11 more points
There are A lot of Arsenal fans on twitter complaining about us signing a striker when we need new defenders
I think our defence is shit but we dont need new defenders, we could buy the best defender in every position and we wouldnt be much better off because of how careless our midfield is in possession.
For me personally Id be happy to see Xhaka and Ramsey no where near the team and wherever possible use two of Wilshere, Elneny and Maitland Niles. AMN likes to drive forward and then that would give more space for Ozil, Lacazette, Consonant Boy and Aubemeyang to do their shit
Liverpool have got a dodgy defence for sure but they're attack is unreal when it works and that compensates for some of those goals.
I do think we need new defenders personally, Koscielny is past is and Mustafi isn't good enough to be honest, Cech is also past it, the need for a decent DM is also as urgent.
I'd agree with the combination mentioned though a new DM is still a must (Elneny would have to play with either of those two as the other two are't good enough defensively), problem is Xhaka is guaranteed a spot in the team, so this will never happen.
