Summer Transfer Misery 2017/18

I dunno. After one season with PSG he’s looking for the exit or is it PSG giving him the boot? Maybe a step down would suit him. It’s not as if he was tearing it up at Schalke or Wolfsburg either. We might be at the right sort of level for him to mature. Not too big but not too small. We really should consider him or Lucas Moura if they are available.

Neither. It's speculation that he won't want to compete for a place against Neymar. All media speculation at this time.

Gypos lining up a 60 mill bid for Alexis - so that's where he'll be going unless PSG step in, which I doubt, considering they are about to shell 160 mill+ for Mbappe.

Lemar deal dead - just as we always wanted it to be. The protracted underbids have worked out as planned and the if the player puts in another good season he should drift safely out of our price range.

Arsenio's release clause is 72 mill - so the rumours linking us are pure crazy talk. Not in a million years, which is probably how long Wenger will be staying.

Gabriel has gone, looks like 10 mill into the kitty to ease the agony of spending money on Lacazette.

In terms of strengthening the squad, seems there's nothing. Just nothing. Wenger has been going on about "doing something if exceptional talent becomes available", which is Wenger code for the window being closed as far as he's concerned.

There appears to be some difficulty encouraging the deadbeat players to leave. Why anyone would want to stick it out on 70k a week for doing fuck all is a mystery.

Chile have included Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez in their squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Bolivia, coach Juan Antonio Pizzi said on Thursday.

Sanchez has yet to play for his English Premier League club Arsenal this season after straining an abdominal muscle.

He missed the Community Shield victory over Chelsea in the season curtain-raiser plus the league opener with Leicester City and is expected to be out of Saturday's trip to Stoke City.

If he plays... oh dear.

Lemar being linked with Man Utd.

Catalyst of change, eh?

The fee for Jonny Evans is now 35 mill, according to the papers. I mean, why not? It's all insane so no reason at all why Evans couldn't be worth 35 mill.

If we can get in there quickly with a 15 mill bid we could anger Monaco into refusing to do business with us ever again. It's worth a shot.

If he plays... oh dear.

It's the ideal situation and when he comes back with a small cut on his finger and can't play it'll have worked out exactly how Wenger would have wanted it to.

Reports that Mustafi fancies a move to Milan. Looks like it's true, the players were all waiting to see if Wenger signed that contract. Now that he has, they all want the fuck out - fast. Who can blame them?

Agreed. Ideal. Never forget, we won the FA Cup, so everything is always ideal.
