According to the Telegraph, the Baggies have confirmed that the Anglo - Burundian hitman will not be leaving the club during the January transfer window, and have reportedly advised the player's admirers not to waste
their time bidding for the player.

Apple also reportedly considered a much larger content acquisition last year: A number of news outlets said the company made a takeover
bid for content giant
Time Warner, which owns HBO and CNN among other things, but the latter decided to accept an offer from telecom
player AT&T instead.
However, that would be a very bad financial decision
for Arsenal if we had to turn down a
bid of 60 - 80 million
for a
player we would lose
for free in a year's
time.
I don't understand why Wenger still wants to remain so secretive about his targets, when most of the
time he messes it up himself by under
bidding by a country mile
for the
player and it's not as if the other clubs are spying on his transfer activities, like they used to, a decade ago.
Lemar and Sanchez situation, is a smoke screen, I
for one felt Arsenal did not have the money to buy the
players we actually wanted, that is why we were going to sell some of our main
players, the lemar deal was a fake, Arsenal knew long enough that lemar had a match on the same day the window was going to be closed the
timing of the
bid was just the right
time not to be accepted.
If I'm Aubameyang lawyer i would advise the
player to sue arsenal if they fail in their
bid because it happens with Arsenal and they unsettle
players all the
time and they should learn to to go
for a
player they really intend to buy.
The Gunners travel to take on Nottingham Forest today, as they
bid to make the fourth round of the Capitol One Cup
for the first
time in three years, and could be set to take on two former
players in the match - up.
we have at most 4 real quality outfielders i.e.
players that other top european teams would take... ozil sanchez santi and kos... in my books you need 6... we are two short but worse the quality of others is lower than needed... only bellerin coq and wilshere have that potential... and there are problems with each still... we should have put in
bids in june
for griezman kondogbia and the Burussia striker as all could have been prized away with right
bid plus
players thrown in IMO... now its too late and wenger is in some weird gallic world of existential hope and denial and fans are just praying we do nt lose opening 2 matches
for first
time in over two decades... but no one is really confident against a team which is sure to finish around mid table...
His just killing
time by approaching
players and then under
bidding for them, his art of looking keen and busy without an end product, abit like our performance on the pitch.
Reports coming from Italy have suggested that Roma had been targeting the
player for some
time and decided to jump the queue and secure his signature ahead of the transfer window opening to avoid a potential
bidding war.
I agree with everything said, on one hand it's unfair on Wenger as Arsenal get linked with everyone, and when these deals don't happen, Wenger gets the blame, even when 99 % of the
time he isn't even
bidding for the
players linked.
Wenger often makes multiple
bids... issue has always been
for him to take a quick decision rather than wait and wait... so I think there have been
bids for both Lacazette and Mbappe and this
time with last season fan issues whichever
player and club agrees first Arsene will take it..
4) yes Keita: he's got a release clause that get's activated next year it's around 45 mil if I remember correctly, i highly rate him as the all rounder Dm / Cm / Am does it all and can fill the cazorla void instantly,
for anyone that are reading the 70 - 80 million valuation I don't see any team paying that, but making him the most expensive African
player will sure tempt him to move
Bid 45 mil with add ons and there is a big chance of getting him, if they don't accept that offer to make a red bull commercial that should boost the sales of that terrible tasting energy drink, Sanchez Ozil Ramsey ox bellerin wenger it's
time to get drinkng that's Just good marketing
for redbull, a team with no history or fans shouldn't have a say in who to keep in the first place they are a stepping stone to bigger things and we are the team to make you world class, wan na eventually play in barca or real look at our track record we will get you there!!
If not then we could be asking why we are not making big
bid for another
player at same
time.
It is no secret that Arsene Wenger has been an admirer of the Turk
for quite some
time now and was heavily linked with the
player during his
time at Atletico Madrid, with many media sources believing Arsenal actually made a
bid before eventually losing out to Barcelona.
If Barca make a cash + Rafinha
bid for Bellerin we should sell him.We should also demand a satisfying amount.In the future if Rafinha wants to go too we can let the cycle continue.All we have to do is make sure we benefit from their talents.I still imagine what if Wenger had accepted the Thiago Alcantara and Bojan + cash
bid for Fabregas.They could've have been far better than they are today under Wenger had he accepted the offer years back.Let's not make the same mistake with Bellerin.I don't know if he'll even be staying beyond next season.Bellerin is very expensive as of now and to me we should cash in.A
player like Rafinha will definitely become a great
player in Arsenal.He just needs his chances and can do that.At
times you need to have foresight in business.It's not just about keeping the
player you want to keep but also about doing everything possible to make sure you're always profiting.
It's added that they were willing to accept a
bid as low as # 13.6 m, but Valencia pulled out of the move late on and so it collapsed, while both the
player and his agent had agreed that it was the best move
for his future as he wasn't guaranteed regular playing
time at the Nou Camp.
If we make a
bid for one
player it does not mean we do nt want another
player... thats called common sense by keeping options open
Players are made available or put in transfer requests at various
times during the season and
for many reasons... eg PSG buy neymar
for stupid money and so Barca noe have a huge pot to make
bids for people previously unavailable and so on... At
times it seems as though some of you have never watched football before or a transfer window!!!
How are Arsenal going to make a
bidding for a
player whose value on the field of play will be gradually declining by the reason of his aging as he becomes a spent force in 3 years
time when he clocked 30.
Although the
bid is less than City initially paid
for Jovetic themselves, the
player's injury record during his
time with the club suggests it may be wise to cash in on him if an offer comes in.

player ratings: 9/10
for hero Willian, Fabregas gets 8 Man United hoping three -
time Euro champ snubs # 450k - a-week to sign
for Mourinho Chelsea reject # 50m transfer
bid, but record 2nd offer incoming, # 25m salary could tempt 14 - goal hero to leave
If I m Wenger and smart enough then I will go in january window and sign two decent
players not cup tied
for CB and DM position... Because we are given luck to face Monaco and advance to quarters so I will sign
for CB Reid / Van dijk and I will cleverly approach
for vertonghen to check the state of mind of spuds by
bidding 12 - 15 million if they sell good just like sol campbell to troll them every
time and if not no need to worry we will get reid or van dijk
for cheap at 8 - 10 million and then I will sign schneiderlin or Wanyama because they are not cup tied and will be eager to compete in champions league..
i think wenger might just all his chips on the table and
bid big (about the # 40 - 50 million mark)
for a top forward
player this summer like someone commented before his
time is running short in management terms, and he might just go big one more
time to try and secure the title one last
time.
to be seen to
bid for a
player they knew they would have a very hard
time acquiring
for tmoney they wanted to pay?
We have seen many
times that a
player can lose focus when his future is the talk of the football media, such as with Raheem Sterling this season and the
time when Wenger had made a
bid for Newcastle's French midfielder Yohan Cabaye.
Barcelona have been tracking the Brazilian defender
for some
time now, and are ready to make a
bid for the
player, who must be worth upwards of # 30m, as Chelsea are unwilling to sell him.
How many
times was the
player actually a good value
for 4 - years but when he hit free agency the
bidding got too high
for the original team.
An improved
bid has now been turned down by the Championship outfit, who are thought to want # 15m
for the
player who scored 12
times in 26 Premier League starts last season.
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 wa

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

I don't believe that Arsene Wenger made that
bid or enquiry, with all due respect I will say Wenger right now lacks what it takes to win EPL title, every concerned and genuine Arsenal fan knows that Madrid will not be selling Bale
for now, so why wasting
time pointing hands on
players you know you are not going to buy, how much
time did Chelsea spent in acquiring Bakayoko and Morrata, how much did Bakayoko cost, whats this long battle over lemar?
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.
Wenger was brought back into it before Gazidas realized that he had to get full
time people
for this as persuading agents never mind
players can go on
for months before a
bid is reached.
Can't see Wenger
bidding # 48 millions
for a
player who in few years
time doesn't have the sell value of no more than # 15 millions.
There were suggestions Leicester would consider a
player - plus - cash
bid, to the combined value of # 95million but -
for the second
time this month - City were not prepared to overpay.
«City did not make a formal
bid for the five -

Player of the Year, but made it clear they were not afraid of topping the global high of # 89m that Manchester United paid Juventus

Earlier reports of an Arsenal
bid for Thomas Lemar in excess of # 90M hung in the air until they ran up against reports the
player wasn't interested in moving to a club without Champions League football and,
for a
time, that seemed the end of it.
After RB Leipzig rejected Arsenal's $ 30m
bid out of hand, the Swedish attacking midfielder's agent spoke openly about the
player's desire to move to the Premier League «[Leipzig] didn't buy [Forsberg]
for $ 15m, but
for $ 3m and he signed a new contract and paid them back 10
times.
Since Lemar is the only
player whose being linked with Arsenal by the media has appeared to be a true media link this
time out of the 77 listed,
for, there were reported 2 Arsenal
bids in the media to sign the lad, and Arsenal did not deny the media claims.
