NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
One of our biggest problems is all the dross we have on big wages, we are gonna have a real problem shifting the likes of Walcott, Gibbs, Jack and Jenkinson.Originally Posted by GP
Sanchez is attracting attention and considering he's away for the summer on intentional duty again...I think this one will drag on until deadline day. Ozil could stay because it's been said nobody has come in for him.
We should keep both regardless of who makes a bid a take a risk. I don't want to see under rebuilding project. We always get to this stage where we almost have the full picture to the puzzle and just need one or two more pieces but we fuck it up by chucking a few keys pieces which means we can't complete what we were originally building. We end up having to start again with a different puzzle to solve and we'll repeat the same mistake when we've almost got it nailed.
Regarding more signings, we need a replacement for Cazorla. He's an essential piece.
Get Alexis to stay and it's been a good summer. If he leaves then it doesn't matter who we sign because we'll be weaker and certainly won't be signing a better player than him this summer. Mahrez isn't fit to lace his boots.
Yes but at this point Lacazette has not be signed, so it's not in the bag yet!
Highly rated means little in my book, so was Xhaka and he's been hopeless, prefer to judge a player when I see him play.
My point stands, 1 freebie signing thus far.
With only being allowed to increase our wage bill by 7.5% if it's not covered by an increase in revenue, we're going to have to get rid of a good number of players (hopefully some of the rubbish we have), seeing as noone seems interested in them we may have to end up buying them out of their contracts.
Thus far there's seems to be no interest in the likes of Walcott, Gibbs, Wilshere, Jenkinson, Debuchy, Welbeck, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Chambers, all players we could happily get rid of with little impact (oh and Giroud but maybe we can flog him as there seem to be a couple clubs looking at him)
In the other thread you were saying you were happy with the signing of Lacazette
Technically you're correct of course, 1 signing so far. But this is looking like a done deal in which case it will be 2 quality signings so far, so GP's point stands.
If it falls through then fine, it's only 1, but it doesn't look like it this time.

Yes I am if it happens, but nothing has been confirmed, with Arsenal it could still all go pearshaped, don't count your chickens.In the other thread you were saying you were happy with the signing of Lacazette

So yes as I said 1 signing so far, good to see you agree.
Thanks for joining in but I'm not sure what you're talking about.
This conversation started when Ralpheroo said why do we take forever to make signings.
GP responded saying we've signed 2 good players already and it's only early July so we're not doing too bad.
Ralpheroo responded by asking which two. And Zim chimed in saying he was wondering the same.
It's obvious which two.
Kolasinac and Lacazette.
I don't care how much Kolasinac cost and I personally don't know much about him but those who do have said nice things about him and he sounds promising. Lacazette has an excellent scoring record so could be a very good signing. While he's not signed yet (well, maybe he has but it's hasn't been officially announced) by all accounts he was having a medical today, a fee has been agreed so it seems pretty much in the bag. And Zim who was declaring himself happy with the signing is now doing his trademark goalpost shift for the sake of having an argument.
