Alexis came with a good spirit, seing Ozil on board, thinking a team would be built around them but year after year, it is no top class addition with a guessing game plan, weakness all over the pitch, players out of position, a team scared to play and lost as manager... Sanchez then started to ask more money, we said no as to Ozil; waiting 6 month later to be on last year contract... The all management is nuts and Alexis or any players try until they get fed up, Ozil plays to get fit for wrld cup and his value back...

look criticise wenger for his failures, demand a change i get all of that, but do nt disrespect and insult a man who has done so much more for the club than this joke of a man named Konstantin and do nt come with the argument that the fans spent money on the club while Wenger earned money..

Well if we failed we won't have won a trophy last season (FA cup would be used to blood youngsters), we won't have players like Alexis and Ozil come into the club, and we definitely would not be able to keep players like Cazorla, Walcott and Ramsey because we would probably be playing Europa league (or even not been in Europe) and still have probably 5 more years to go in paying of the stadium because we are not getting enough money into the club (no Champions league).

Big Gun it's not about who is awalable any more but sadly who will come to us, we have further been labeled the team with no ambition for trophies, AW should drop his stuberness and go all out guns blazing in the January transfer window ower pay if nececery to bring in the best players money can buy and get someone to assist him with fresh ideas and tactics.

Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

3 League titles / 6 Fa cups and constant champions league last 16odd years out of 19 also but no matter what anyone says his time as our coach has come to an end even if we win the league which in fairness we have a great shot so going out of Europe could help us win the league for Wenger to leave on a high like fergie did... This has to be his last season in charge along with Stan the Conman... Money needs put into this squad to get it to the next level and a different direction because in all honesty when we beat Bayern they just did nt take their chances like they did last night and they already had a great squad and added to it in the summer with Costa etc... we had a real chance this year if we had brought in more than Cech and that is Wengers fault!

Getting 50 million means more money for a ranch somewhere in the USA, I'd rather get a player with potential, even if it means having another Theo Walcott, we're already on a profit, I want players coming in.

I agree we need better negotiations and all that but it's a simple solution for arsenal SPEND MORE MONEY GETS U BETTER PLAYERS just look at Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea theyve all got different negotiating teams but get the same out come which is signing the players they need in a short space of time, some times 2 players from the same club!

You don't get it do you?I'm not even talking about the money.But I agree with you that for the kind of money that will be spent on Mbappe it's a higher gamble.Henry was bought to be a starter and as the main man for Arsenal.He was so young by then and the pressure on him was massive.Looking at the impact he's had in our club if Henry had failed who would imagine what Arsene would have done.To me he's our best player ever.Arsene put a lot of trust in him to be honest but the gamble paid off.However, I think he had a point to prove to world and to Juve hence he succeeded.The same as is with Mbappe with even a higher transfer fee and more expectation.If he's ever signed for that amount he's coming here to be the main man whowill send us into glory.Forget Ozchez for all eyes will be on him.

Arsene Wenger did not come out and completely confirm the recent Arsenal transfer rumours about the big wage demands of the club's two biggest names Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, with both the German and the Chilean currently in talks over new contracts with the club, but he did seem to suggest in an Evening Standard report that they were likely to be getting more money and being the best paid Arsenal players if they do sign new deals.

It's not the low point It's the high point of the season for us Never want to see my team lose but winning today would have papered over the cracks and bought more time for AW Have the board got the minerals to act or is it all about the money, money, money At one point today I thought we might even win but then we kicked off and it all came to a. End

If Conor does decide to come back (which I still don't think he will), I see him getting right back on track making more money for the UFC and himself than probably all of the other fighters combined, if not close to all of them.

I hope I'm wrong but this could be the most damaging win when it comes to transfers... winning 1 game, after about 20 minutes of really good play, is of little consequence in the grand scheme of things... only those with the most selfish of intentions would suggest otherwise... the only reason we're even in this predicament, where were celebrating our first victory of 2018 against a bottom half squad who is managed by possibly the only individual more antiquated than our manager, is because of Wenger's ridiculous mishandling of his contract last year combined with his mishandling of the contracts of our top players this year; a fact that he himself admitted to... so before you get too excited about the possibilities of our current roster don't forget what has happened over the last several years and pray to the gods of football that real quality reinforcements like Auba are on the way, which could have happened years ago for less money and we might have been holding a trophy of some significance, or this brief respite will be followed by the usual mediocrity and stagnation

Some people delude themselves why would lamar want to come to arsenal he already want a Liverpool move and you lot have no self respect, I wouldn't want him at arsenal besides he was in the French squad who just drew with Luxembourg and Chile has been beaten twice with alexis in the squad, let's start criticising the players more than wenger at the moment because at the end of the day they need to respect the shirt and the unwarranted stupid money the get every week

and would probably want a move away to get more game time and would come quite cheap (prob # 15 - 18 million) for a position that doesn't always need a lot of money thrown, at it its the sort of project wenger likes to make players that come under his tutelage to improve them.

te tomorrow never comes and despite the fact that Wenger has been brilliant, its time for a change now, trouble is that's where we are in a real quandary cos if wenger goes YOU KNOW we will get a manager who accepts what the board tells him and wont spend any more than Wenger, NOWAY will Klopp or Simione get involved unless there is money to spend and with our current Board that's not going to happen.

Emirates stadium and huge sponsor deals we finally have had two poor years by his standards at the helm we always havent been so great and are we weak supporters or strong give him a contract i mean hes won with ants for money let him spend for once cause even if we do get new manager inflation has occured and no body else will win with the small amounts we gave him to spend and in 20 years actuall more it seems the club is finally willing to spend give him a contract let him spend and if we do nt improve which i think we will i think that the club is finally willing to spend shows were on an upturn because as long as top four the owner and board weren't and after we spend big or somewhat big for once and auba and mkhitaryan arent the big im hoping for i want more if liverpoodlians can pay 75million for a cb let wenget spend a bit and if we still do bad we can always sack him or ask him to leave wouldnt be uncommon but we owe it to him and do nt say we do not because emirates london colney that will bring in high talent here for years to come and we have never spent for him just gave little and hes always done big things with little i think he can do bigger things in his final years if we give him big i do nt see us in decline but if we sack him we will be for a good three maybe four years

I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get back to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision

I do nt know why im so disappointed i keep thinking every window he will do it splash big bring back the old days and especially this window with all the abuse he had got last season but no did nothing im the fool for getting my hopes up again you would think id learn by now, if we did pull off lemar and kept sanchez after buying lacazette and kolasanic id be delighted but keeping an unhappy sanchez isnt good hopefully some forgien club will come in for him in January but what happened at Liverpool was a disgrace i cant take any more its ruining my mood im depressed in disbelief at how stupid and soft centred we were making the exact same mistakes for 8 or 9 yrs ground hog day i cant cope we have leaked 8 goals in 3 games very worrying and the clown wont even play kolasanic i wanted wenger to spend big go out in a blaze of glory in 2 yrs time but this is embarrassing to me it looks like a money racket and we are the fools

A lot of money coming off of the books next year, so I am more confident we will get both deals done.

For some reason, Drew Brees is still «confident» about getting a long - term deal done with the New Orleans Saints, even though the two parties are still reportedly more than $ 10 million apart in guaranteed money with the deadline to secure a new contract coming on Monday.

then utd came in offered more money and performance based instalments and got the deal done we gonna need to offer 45 - 50mil up front and prob 10 - 15mil in instalments to even temp Monaco into selling..

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 the hell would he come out and say «yes it's true our best and most valuable player is for sale» literally the moment he says that Sanchez price is probably cut in half as the whole footballing world knows we will be selling him, only an idiot would bash wenger for lying about it, the more money he can squeeze out of Sanchez leaving the better so we can get a replacement.

It is certain that inflation from the TV money (and added oil money) has made the market for the best players very difficult, and from his words it sounds like Wenger is simply not willing to pay the increased figures and will not be buying anyone else in this window despite our current nett spend only coming in at about 25m so far, and we will probably recoup a bit more of that once we get rid of some deadwood.

Of course Liverpool at some time would get better but habe won nothong of note for a number of years... We have won 3 FA Cups in 4 years and are putting a new team together... some good youngsters coming through and spending decent money on transfers for good players... Ozil Sanchez Cech Mustafi and Lacazette in just last few years... We all want more names but you also mentioned Leicester who won on a shoestring... City and Man Utd will probably have spent a billion between then last 3 or 4 transfer windows and not won PL..!

stubbornness in believing what we got is enough is hampering the goal.If we have simply spent 60 millions in winter with Aubemayang» pace, fire and stamina» and Carvalho (we ensure young top quality) this investment would have for sure saved us lot money when summer comes and also give us a grip in few of the targets left outside there as Utd, Cleshit and City will spend more than 150 millions each BUT WE KNOW OUR COACH COMES EVERY YEAR WITH THE LAME EXCUSE AS THERE IS NOBODY OUTSIDE THERE BETTER THAN OG, THEO ANDcomes and also give us a grip in few of the targets left outside there as Utd, Cleshit and City will spend more than 150 millions each BUT WE KNOW OUR COACH COMES EVERY YEAR WITH THE LAME EXCUSE AS THERE IS NOBODY OUTSIDE THERE BETTER THAN OG, THEO ANDCOMES EVERY YEAR WITH THE LAME EXCUSE AS THERE IS NOBODY OUTSIDE THERE BETTER THAN OG, THEO AND CO..

Of course I wouldn't put money on our emphatic jump to the lead, but surely Leicester have to start getting nervous, and the teams they are coming up against have much more to lose.

true, didn't think of that; we could get good money for him and buy a more positionally important player (I still hope that he has a good loan and comes back with some fire).

Unfortunately, we have so many of these footballers in the EPL who came for the money and fame and then realised they can get more in other leagues (China for example).

Leave him to the end of the season he will probably get more money elsewhere so he can leave and not come back to embarrass this club in England as the player he actually is.

AW made a good faith effort to get the release but was unsuccessful because Leciester came up with more money which is what Vardy's agent had intended to happen anyway.

I started googling way back in may who could we be buying gonzalo higuian, julio cesar and wayne rooney but realize going by history wenger just as no interest in buying world class players, he wants 2 buy d grade players and turn them up to koscienly nd nasri that will take years while da arsenal faithful pay handsome figures for dismal performances, fans allowed wenger 2 get away when he gets away with these lucky matches of fenerbache been strong on paper but a waste of tym on the pitch, also it happen at bayern but they put a slighty weak team but wenger runt his mouth around of how good da team was after that 2 - 0 win, not forgetting it was bould that got the team defense looking solid while wenger moan about referee decisions and no blame on team, I just feel we (arsenal) have allowed wenger and co to misuse us, so now our main target aim is benzema yet giroud plays more often than him for france, can any1 see how wenger is lowing our standards and expectations at arsenal, I wil be over da moon if wenger does not sign an extension wit us, after the gilberto days and disaterous results and teams we play, his approach to the game defensely which is pathetic and his annoying behaviour.So what if manu and chelski haven't really bought they are already strong it was seen last week now we should be worried about our selves since that villa defeat, jst imagine what the man's and london money maniac's are goin 2 do to us, I can see it already coming from wenger, if we find the right player we will buy him, after sept2, we didn't find da right player but the squad can challenge for the title, its so sick having 2 hear that crap, just take him psg, I just wish the fans would say we had enough of this bullshit transfer policies its time we stood up against these pigs of directors by protesting!
