United continue to publicly back Van Gaal, who is under contract at Old Trafford for another year, but the Dutchman appears increasingly certain to
leave the club in the summer even if he manages to guide them into next season's Champions League.

Count Draxler will become
even more injury prone at Arsenal and if Walcott does
leave in the
summer, I'm pretty sure that he will shine as a striker, especially at a
club that plays the long ball counter — attacking system!
who would of guest City would make an offer of 60 million
in the
summer for Sanchez with only a year
left on his contract, i'm guessing we could get an offer of around 30 million from City
in January so he wont be persuaded by the likes of PSG with a signing on fee
in the
summer, but who knows what goes
in the mind of Alexis or what kind of injuries some big
clubs could have from now until January for them to make ridiculous offers to a world class player with no CL conflict of interest, lets say Real Madrid loses Ronaldo, Bale, Karim to long term injury you bet they will come ceiling with baring gifts for Sanchez's services or
even Barca with Messi or Suarez
Normally the automatic choice would be the Spaniard and it
even looked as though Flamini might be
leaving the
club this
summer, but after Arteta's awful game
in Zagreb last week, when he made no tackles or won any duels at all, the boss might be reluctant to play him
in the north London derby.
Then there is the small matter of Matthieu Debuchy, who has done nothing but moan since he arrived at the
club, and who
even forced Wenger to send him out on loan
in January (and
left the Gunners without a proper backup for Hector Belleirn) because he was whining that he needed to play to get into the France team at the European Championships this
summer.
The sad truth is that we are just a couple of players away from having a very strong starting 11... Wenger's fixation with Walcott and mertesakher as starting players remains a mystery to me... neither have the quality of a top team like arsenal... I am not a giroud hater but he is still too inconsistent and the big question is whether welbeck can push him
in a way Walcott won't... Campbell has done well and has moved ahead of Walcott and, ox for sure but there is still a question about how much more he can improve... Elneny is certainly an upgrade over arteta and flamini whether he will make it I don't know just hope that he does but arguably wenger could have been more ambitious... That
leaves a top quality striking option... There is no doubt that wenger deluded himself over the
summer and that needs to be corrected ASAP... Draxler dybala aube and
even griezman with a big enough big could have been prized
in summer... january not a good time for this but it is not difficult to find better options than Walcott ox or Campbell... All a question of whether wenger wants to win EPL on his terms or wants to win this for the
club
So with Man City having spent more money this
summer on full backs than most
clubs in Europe or
even the cash rich English Premier League have spent on players
in total, perhaps the Gunners think that our England international
left back Kieran Gibbs should be worth a pretty penny, but the fact is that if we need to sell him to trim down the Arsenal squad it might be a good idea not to price him too high.
The Spanish international had spent his whole career with the
club until
leaving for Stamford Bridge this
summer, and was a key part of the team's success over the last seven years,
even if he played less often
in his final season.
Thankfully for Arsenal fans this has not happened with our Chile international striker Alexis Sanchez,
even though it seems pretty clear to all concerned that he would have liked to secure a transfer away from the Gunners this
summer, but when a player is really determined to
leave a
club that does not want to sell him it can get quite prickly and the player
in question can make a real nuisance of themselves.
Nothing will be concluded before January 31st and Sanchez will
leave for nothing
in the
summer — but not before disrupting the
club even further.
Napoli vs AS Roma Preview: Napoli has started the season stronger
even without Gonzalo Higuain who
left the
club in big money transfer
in summer 2016.
Reports over the weekend suggested majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri could
even try to tempt Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to Goodison Park over the
summer if he were to
leave the north London
club, but Allardyce is determined to remain
in post on Merseyside.
Mourinho was not prepared to let Schneiderlin
leave the
club during the
summer,
even though he is unlikely to play a huge part for United
in the Premier League this season.
