    £50mill is the figure that has been mentioned all summer.

    Whatever happens, a decision needs to be made fast so we aren't doing that silly trolley dash on the last day of the window, buying leftovers for extortionate mark-ups.

    No one. He can't be replaced because he's a top tier player that arrived at Arsenal just before we finally slipped into second tier status. He's the last top tier player we'll attract to the club until Wenger and Kroenke are gone. So we might as well hang on to him for one more year.

    Although there's Kroenke's and Wenger's profiteering to take into consideration.

    Hard decision. Do something for the club and the fans? Or bank the cash? Hmmmmm...

    City released Trippier in 2012.
    5 years later he's ousted Walker as first choice RB at Spuds.
    City pay 54m for Walker!!!

    Great management right there.

    It seems everyone bar Wenger figured out it would be kind of tricky to keep a world star when the club lacks ambition to compete for anything of note. I suppose he'll take this latest news as proof positive that his fucking around all this time has been the right way to go. Maybe another little gem of a quote, "Look! When the player wants to leave then we must accept he wants to stay. Just because we do not keep the player does not mean we lose him."
    Brilliant!

    Yep, agreed. Losing Sanchez will damage this club's rep for the foreseeable future. We are already viewed as a soft touch, we let Sanchez go and that will be it.

    Well Bayern have announced they are out of the running for Alexis as they have too many forwards. There's no way we should sell to City or any other English club. Not sure who that leaves so keeping him might be the only option either way.

    Yep. We should under no circumstances sell him to an English club, if he walks on a free to an English club next summer then so be it.

    To be honest we should be doing everything in our power to convince him that Arsenal is the place to be by actually improving our team amongst other things. The window so far has been quite good for Arsenal standards but we need more.

    Wenger has said he will not be sold, that might change in about a months time.

    Alexis, I think, does want to leave.

    If Arsenal sign Lemar and if Man City bid enough money, then Alexis will be sold.

    I know its all 'ifs' but I cannot see Alexis remaining here without signing a new deal which I can't see him doing.

    Arsenal will not win the PL whilst Wenger is the manager anyway, regardless of who they sign/keep and how much money is spent.

    We're in an awful situation, keep him and he leaves for nothing next year, sell him and we lose a top quality player. On top of that Ox-Chamberlain is still not signed up. We've brought it on ourselves though, I just don't understand how we let all 3 players run down their contracts to 1 year, makes no sense.

    The window so far has been ok, we have a decent striker so that's good, but more needed because what we have so far is not enough. Lemar deal is looking more and more unlikely, if we really wanted him we should have got the deal done quickly, because now that Bakayoko is off to Chelsea, Silva has gone to City and Mendy looks to be on his way there as well, Monaco will have plenty of money and probably won't sell unless the get some astronomical offer, they probably don't want to dismantle the whole team.

    Mahrez and Mbappe were both just BS speculation with no substance, but you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe we had a chance of signing Mbappe anyway.
