    Wenger discussing the hard choices involved and intricacies of taking a shit.

    'You never know how close you are,' Wenger said. 'It is one of the possible movements, but we have other things in mind, we have plenty of opportunities in different positions. So the final decision is not made.'

    He is counting down the days until February the 1st.

    It is one of his 2 favourite days of the year.

    Stupid man.

    Bundesligue is a mickey mouse league to be honest, so what Mhkitaryan did there isn't that relevant, even Xhaka who is rubbish starred there. There's about 2 decent teams in that league.

    As for Sanchez, even if he had verbally agreed to sign (no proof), he'll probably then took a longer look at this car crash club with bottlers for players and a manager who thinks winning is getting top 4 and thought he wasn't realistically going to challenge for prizes there, so then thought moving to a bigger club who at least try to win might be a better idea.

    He got more money, but he was always going to seeing as he's a top class player. A much as it pains me to say, Man U are 100 times the club Arsenal is, they strive to win stuff, spend money on signings and have won a stackful of trophies (including the CL twice), most importantly they don't mug off their fans.

    Good move for Sanchez, I wish him good luck, he gave his all when he was with us, he just didn't want to waste the rest of his career playing for a team that are 2nd tier when he could be playing for a top club.

    Pretty much, if we got Aubameyang you've got to be reasonably happy.

    The swap however, well we're the losers here, our best player and goalscorer gone, a player they wanted rid of who hasn't turned up for a year and a half and who doesn't even play in a position we needed.

    Can someone tell me what position Micky Mouse plays in? I think he is an Ozil type player and he will only make our games even more narrower (if thats even possible). We have no players who can play wide! Iwobi is a wide player but he isnt the best, Welbeck is horrendous and thats about it... nobody else!
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    I think his best position is a second striker type role, I think he’s more likely to gamble going forward than Ozil. By all accounts he’s fairly versatile though so Wenker will probably play him anywhere across the front.

    Bit like Arshavin before he turned into a fat cunt.

    As with all players. Unless the manager balances the side, and applies the basics of the game, it doesn't matter who you buy....unless you buy 11 players who can all work it out for themselves, and have the necessary skills to play in those positions.

    We better be buying that Auba bloke though, as you want the next manager to be in a position of having some decent players. Of course hoping that we do have a new manager at some point soon.

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Problem I see with Aubameyang and a new manager is that he's 28 and relies a lot on his pace, something which you lose some of into your 30s, so realistically he won't be a signing for the next manager as he'll be at least 30 when he comes in.
