As for Lackofthreat, he is done, get rid in the summer. 🙄
Don't put it past them, apparently he wants out and won't sign a new contract, his agent is lining him up for big clubs like Barca and Real and the club know they'll get the most money if they sell now when he has a year and a half left on his contract and is 6 months younger than they would in the summer when we'd be desperate to sell.

I can see this happening, we're being linked with a move to bring Giroud back as well (oh dear). To be honest this board doesn't seem to know anything about football, they probably aren't in the least bit worried about that, if they were they wouldn't have employed Arteta that's for sure.

These are the same people who spend 72 million (deferred over many years) on a winger when we desperately needed a quality CB, bought a CB only to loan him back for a year (and again defer payment - so we should have very little to spend next summer) and then brought Luiz in to play CB. They're also the same people who gave Xhaka a new contract and allowed Ramsey to walk away for free, so don't be surprised by anything.
