To hammer the last nail to the coffin: to accommodate your record signing in Lacazett you give him the # 9 shirt which belongs to Perez without even attempting to discuss that with the player himself and see if that would be an ok move...

You can look at that price tag in a number of ways and personally I don't think Wenger will pay # 35 million for Mane, when for the same price he could put in a bid for Mahrez or even a player such as Isco or Gotze.

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

Why pay more when we can get for less, the difference even in only a few millions can be crucial for the bidding war for the next top player we want to bring in next summer.

the delusional ones on this site went idiotic over the silly reports of a bid from barca for Ramsey whicH was so obviously stupid as the guy lacks level of skills required of even worst barca player....

It now makes sense why Wenger was bidding # 100 million for Mbappe, even though he knew that the player wouldn't be coming to Arsenal.

Apparently Arsenal didn't even bid for Mahrez last summer & they are still yet to bid for this player.

apart from him i do nt know who we could get, we would have to bid even more for higher price bracket players i.e benz, lewandoski, cavani.

Interestingly, both the players have been linked with Arsenal and Wenger even lodged an official bid for Suarez.

I have said it in summer and say it again: Walcott is the main reason we have not made an outrageous bid for players like Lewandowski (my all time favorite) or even Cavani & Benzema.

Personally I would say the guy just ain't worth it.That money can be used more wisely to get what we need.Lemar shouldn't have been a priority.The centre of the park should have been the problem.We are missing the point clearly.Even Bernardo Silva is as good as him yet went for lower.I've watched him and I know eventually he'll be world class but that doesn't mean he should be worth that bid because we have players his age wiyh more potential and cheaper.I remember people stating how Lacazette was not even worth # 45 some seasons back then all of a sudden he's signed for higher and people are behaving like they already like him.I'm sure the logic was that he was in the French league and possibly can't cut it at the top.This isn't money well spent at all.

I'm okay with making a bid for Lacazette, even though in my mind he's not exactly the player we need / want.

It is like a mantra in his head, «it's all about wanting more» is a regular phrase, and it is an opportune moment to discuss the journey he has made from bit - part player, from someone who was even offered up as a makeweight in a failed bid to sign Clint Dempsey from Fulham in 2012, to being shunted around the team, then hampered by a chronic heel injury, fretting about his future, to now being a captain, a leader, a key player for Klopp.

I think players such as Youri Tielemans, James Ward - Prowse or even a cheeky bid for out of favour Henrikh Mkhitaryan would see the money better spent.

then their fans got too big for their boots, they were shocked we came in with a low starting bid to sign baines and fellaini (even though we have been selling them good players on the cheap for years) and then went on to leak the story to the press making out we are insulting them!..

The manager hinted strongly that his club had failed in competing for players with the Premier League leaders, and even named Kyle Walker as one of those who they had won a bidding war with Conte's club for.

Wenger I have to admit is very clever in the way he manages to do this every year, putting in insulting bids to other clubs that even us arsenal fans know are way under the asking price so that it looks like an attempt was made, really its just for show, then he talks in extremes about how signing players for 25M will result in a football clubs implosion which is also utter nonsense, the money arsenal have brought in on player sales alone in recent seasons should merit some reinforcement, let alone the emirates revenue, tv money and sponsorship deals.

Rumour has it that hours before Gareth Bale sealed his world - record # 85.3 million move to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2013, Manchester United lodged an even bigger bid for the Welsh superstar, only to be turned down as the player had his heart set on a move to Spain.

The Toffees have already had one bid of # 19m for the French international rejected, but according to the Telegraph on Tuesday evening, a second bid of an initial # 22m has gone through for the player and has been accepted.

Fergie had made his mind up and even accepted a bid from Barcelona before making his player aware that he was up for sale.

Even if bids are made for any of the loan players, or for the first team itself, and the club accept them it is hard to find evidence to say Rodgers will have made a bad judgement.

Even if Liverpool receive in excess of the # 138m Barcelona bid last summer, there are few like - for - like players they can buy — while bringing in a number of players is not always the best option.
