Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Agree completley

Also the unlikely to sign Malcom in this window suggests he’s seen as a replacement for Ozil. I don’t know enough about him to know whether he’s that kind of player

Yeah I agree. It sounds like Malcom might be coming in the summer as the door definitely doesn't sound closed on that deal, I get the impression Bordeaux were reluctant to let him go now but will let him go in the Summer.

Sadly I think Ozil will join Sanchez at United in the summer. Mourinho must be laughing his socks off, he's managed to get our two best players for effectively nothing.

Liverpool are seemingly in pole position for Malcolm and they also want a keeper apparently.

As far as we're concerned with Mikhi and Auba, we'll still most likely break even on our transfer business (with Ox in mind), we don't seem too interested in spending anything we haven't raised from selling players.

The other thing is apparently Auba can't play in the Europa because Dortmund are already in it (even though they haven't played - that seems to be the rule), we Mikhi would be the only one of the two that can play.

Hey Zim, where are you reading the Malcom to Liverpool rumours? Honestly, if it is a straight choice between Arsenal and Liverpool I think most players would choose Liverpool at the moment.

I think Auba and Mkhi are the best we can hope for considering the state we are in, they are opportunist punts based on there indifferences they have with their current clubs. Don't get me wrong I agree that our approach in the transfer market is a disgrace for a club of our size, but we have literally been reduced to picking up the scraps. We can no longer entice even exciting young talents let alone established players, the likes of Lemar and Malcom prove that these players won't kick up a fuss to move here, I'm sure if the likes of United, City or even Liverpool were on there cases they would force a move.

I don't think we will win the Europa regardless, the competition is too fierce this year and whilst we are logically one of the better teams we aren't as good as Napoli or Atletico Madrid IMO.

A BIG update from @jamesolley

Arsenal are pushing Man United to include a cash payment of up to £10million in addition to signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan before allowing Alexis Sanchez to move to Old Trafford

So far then we lose Sanchez, sell Coquelin and Walcott and we may get Mkhitiryan, great.

All in all that would be pretty awful, our best player out for a guy who can't even get in their team and hasn't performed and won't even score that many goals.

I think you are missing the point.

40 mill for Ox
12 mill for Coq
20 mill for Theo
And we might be getting cash for Alexis after all, and there's still a couple of weeks left so don't rule out selling Ozil for a few quid.

See?

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like we are quite advanced in the negotiations for him. I mean anything can happen with Arsenal but it’s a positive step. I think it’s essential we get him, only swapping Mkhi for Sanchez would be a disgraceful window IMO.

Marketing expressed an interest last night, according to another on of these rumours. But a rumour alone should be good enough to send this to the wire. Wouldn't be surprised if we put that rumour out ourselves. A phantom bidding war all the way to the finishing line and pipped at the post. All we'd be left with is the damn stinking profit.

Think cynical and then double it.

But who benefits from this cash?

Someone needs to check and verify this supposed economic degree Wenger has.

Thank you for your interest in their affairs.

He went to the same college as Alan Greenspan.
