Chelsea paving the way for Aubameyang to come here. Wenger gets one over conte again

That must mean Giroud is heading to the chavs

I hope not.

That just wouldnt make sense at all. Surely we can get the Auba deal done without letting Chelski have Giroud.

The question is how much influence has Sven had? IMO a lot.

We're buying aubergine in the first place. Wenger was reluctant apparently but Sven managed to talk him round. I don't think we'd be signing him under the previous circumstances and not at £60m. We'd probably not have offered more than £55m because of Wengers stubborn valuation beliefs and that would have scuppered the deal, but Sven has managed to persuade them to splash £60m on a player with no resale value. That's impressive.

The fact Sven has managed to come in and make a mark straight away excites me. What excites me even more is Dein MK2 is starting in a few days so that will shake the set up even more.

Sven and Sanllehi, the saviours.

Ivan sending the best he's got to release the club from Wenger's grip.

[Niall_Quinn]

I hope not.

Same here. Bif will get goals for them. Possibly lots. They'll cheat and do shit like play to his strengths. We mustn't sell him to those bastards. It would spoil the whole Morata thing they have going, which is one of the finest comedies in years.

[Marc Overmars]

Wherw will Auba play though> through the middle? alongside Laca? on the left? no point having a proven goalscorer playing wide.

Lacashite has to play through the middle or not at all. He's already finding it hard enough to get space and chances, so we'd completely kill him moving him out wide.

That just wouldnt make sense at all. Surely we can get the Auba deal done without letting Chelski have Giroud.

Could be Wenger trying to restore as much of the transfer profits as possible while his rivals are away in Germany. If he's flogged half the team and is rolling around starkers with a stiffie in a huge pile of cash when they get back, that's a win for the old gitguard.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger, as 55.4mill vanishes from the profit pile. Painful.

Finally Wenker has nothing to do with transfers and we've done some impressive business off the back of a big departure.

If only we had Sven when Cesc and RVP left, that set us back a few years and Alexis threatened to do the same.

Sven.

[Niall_Quinn]

Tbf, we don't have a clue who's doing what behind the scenes. You have to hope Wenger played a major role in this or he'll end up taking it out on the player in terms of selection, position and game time. I still wonder if he actually wanted Lacazette.

Now, surely, he HAS to change the system. And to do that he has to sign up Ozil and Jack. And get a DM and a leader for the defence. 2 days left to splash the remainder of the transfer profits, especially if Bif is going to add another 35 mill to the pot. Don't stop now. Get the DM and get the defender and we could actually be in business.

This is like starting up an old limo. Cough, splutter, will it die and end up a dud or is the engine finally going to kick into life again? Reprieve after years of torment, or one last, unbearable false dawn.

Does Wenger have anything left? If he can't do the business with Ozil, Jack, Aubameyang, Lacazette and Mkhitaryan then he's got no business being within a hundred miles of the place.
