Arsenal fans are unstoppable. #Aubameyang

Pregnant wife. Doesn't want to leave London. It's understandable.

Why doesn't John Terry go with them then?

I agree with Emirates gooner....we should have pushed for a non conditional deal, though perhaps Dortmund were deliberately being obtuse. Leave Dortmund to sign their own players without us getting involved FFS.

I remember well, those criticising Sanchez and praising Giroud for loyalty last summer when in reality it is simply circumstances dictating heroes or villains. I'm not surprised Giroud is open to a move to Chelsea and I don't hate him for it neither.

I'd rather keep Giroud but if he has to be sold.....

Giroud is worth more than 15/20 million in this market but Sanchez is worth more than a Mhikitarayan in this market...even with a contract running down.

The club have handled this badly and we're in situation now where we're having to give a rival a decent player who will help them bag some points this season. I can see Giroud doing well at Chelsea if he gets game time. Control has an idea of the type of player he wants so he'll play to his strengths.

Nothing against Bif if he left. In fact, we need him to leave in order to gain a player.

That's the life of a footballer. Every player has reason for their decisions and some of it is valid. But fans often ignore that part.

Think of Sanchez's dogs! Having to leave their London home....poor things.

For me we should not be selling Giroud, I think having him and Aubemeyang in the squad should be the desired outcome if we are looking to improve because Giroud gives us something extra and despite his limitations has got a ton for us

This ridiculous situation has come about from trying to talk Dortmund into a lower fee and then caving

You either stick to your guns or you accept that’s the price you’re going to pay earlier. If we’d agreed a price a week ago we wouldn’t have this nonsense.

I would appreciate it if we had stuck to our guns on the price but to cave at such a late stage and maybe not getting our man anyway. Wow that’s really inept.

Those dogs are cunts.

LATEST: Aubameyang medical pencilled for Wed AM. Earlier today all set for Batshuayi loan to Dortmund, Giroud to Chelsea for £20m. But #CFC via Marina Granovskaia now trying to drive price down so #AFC minded to end talks & send Giroud to #BVB - though unclear if he’d agree to it https://t.co/R9jAnVdk0f

Forcing Giroud to Dortmund

Ruthless Arsenal

Manchester City make £50million bid for Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez https://t.co/cJxx2bikso via @MailSport

£50m on Mahrez but not willing to spend on Sanchez

Yup...he will do well. He's scored as many goals as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer off the bench who really was seen as a supersub. It irks how easily we allow this to happen. If you're going to strengthen a direct rival it really should only be for a kings ransom and when you have the upper hand on them already in the league.

So long as the medical is the Emirates and not Stamford Bridge. Imagine if Dortmund and Chelsea just decided to swap their strikers and cut us out of the process entirely.
