    You said he was reluctant to spend on a young striker when it was clear he did on Dybala.

    Martial, only United bid that price for him. FTR, I would have to if I was that confident in his play.

    Idk if he will this summer. He really should for Morata, imo:

I genuinely can't understand the thinking behind the way we play at the moment. The crawling tempo, the absence of urgency, the endless patience even though it is hardly ever rewarded. Is this player coming in to fix that? I hope so. But the question remains, why are we playing this way in the first place? They players are better than this, we know they are because on occasion we have seen it.
    I don't think Elneny is an ambitious player at all. I actually feel our fans overrate him.

    There is no point in buying Xhaka if you don't let him play it forward and utilize his passing range. We don't have anyone on our team who has his passing range.

    He needs to go, period.
    Ramsey is one of our most pivotal players when he not in the first phase building. That's why Xhaka is important. Xhaka will remove that responsibility from Ramsey and we will see a return of that 2013/14 player. There are not many midfielders like Ramsey in football today, unless you want to pay for Vidal or Pogba.

    I like balance and keeping players in shape. Sanchez is like the anti tactical player. He would be best at CF but he wants to do what Özil does while not being anywhere near as good. He is Roy of the Rovers.

    I want him to stay but he is replaceable.

    Where are you getting your info from with Dybala? Wenger denies making an offer for the player for starters. So how is it clear?

    We haven't signed a young striker to say otherwise. Dybala and Martial are just two examples that spring to mind. We were linked with Morata before he moved to Juve but that didn't happen either. So what's really going on? There are strikers that have been available and some still available that are a better fit for us over Giroud. I'm assuming it's a reluctance to take an expensive gamble.

    Maybe.

    The only thing we can be certain about is how uncertain we can be about our transfer process.

    Ramsey is not one of our most pivotal players, if he was we wouldn't need to spend upwards of 30million on a Midfielder to pair alongside him, besides we don't even know if Ramsey & Xhaka will work.

    Wow...you think putting Jack or Ramsey on the wing brings us balance?

    You do realise that taking Sanchez out of the team removes 15-20 goals per season, do you think Ramsey and Jack will replace that output?

    Sanchez can be careless on the ball and gives away cheap possession at times but he delivers, he delivers more than most players in our team. He's not the Problem.

    Sounds like the Arsenal marketing department going into overdrive to drum up sales of season tickets, happens every year, more often than not so does a long saga where we apparently chase a player who apparently doesn't want to come or we have no chance of signing.

    Too many of these stories about in the last few years for it to be coincidence.

    I dont believe what agents say

    http://www.espnfc.us/story/2412364/p...izio-zamparini

    Zamparini had been saying we were interested for months. Dybala wanted to join Juve.

    Wenger also denied knowing who Santi Cazorla was. I learned a long time ago to not believe a word he says in the media. Especially over transfers.

    I think Dybala just had his heart set on Juve.

    I get it completely. Too many credible people are saying we got him.

    you get that midfielder to get the best out of your best players. WHen Xhaka arrives, you will see why Coquelin just wasnt the right player to start for us. HE is poor in buildup and it forced Ramsey to sit deep to compensate for that, while also getting up in attack. IMO, Wenger gave him too much responsibility but we are a better side when Ramsey plays. SHoot, we been better since he came back from injury.

    And I ideally would go with a 433, but yeah having 3 CMs on the pitch gives us better balance. We will defend much better. We did defend better with Ramsey on the right.


    And go back to what I said, I don't want Sanchez gone. I want him ideally playing CF because he is a great finisher. But unlike a lot of our fans, I see his flaws and see how he messes up our side tactically when he decides to pop up all over the pitch. He also runs a lot, but isnt the best defender on the flank. (Bellerin's form has suffered because of that)
