Wenger's Transfer Targets: Summer 2017

[Batman]

Yes my inference was rhetorical,, what I want to know 'Batman,,' is what you plan to do about it?

Answer the ******* phone, it's squad cost man, He wants to form an alliance to fight this corruption. He is unfortunately a little light on money for fancy gadgets like yours, but can beat you to death with tables and graphs.

Nah Squad Cost Man didn't make the main roster. He's on standby for what the Teen Titans can't clean up.

Wonder if our interest in Mahrez will suddenly ramp up over the next week.

 

[tcahill]

Yet again we have been outspent by our rivals who by the way were stronger than us to begin with, so where are they now?!

Makes me sick to my stomach.

We are always going to be outspent by our rivals with their oil dosh. City, Man U, even Chelsea throwing around huge sums of money like kids with new pocket money makes me sick.
Only way we can keep up is by spending intelligently, and using our current players in their best roles.

True, its not about spending 100s of millions, but we do need some more additions to the squad at least and we're failing at that.

Hope this doesn't mean no more incommings.

 

[Ceballinhos]

so Ramsey already injured.
Need a cm ASAP

 

[Rimaal]

Nothing on the horizon.

 

[Preacher]

Where was Jacky boy today ?

 

[Sniper Mik]

Well selling 3 or 4 and adding 1 is still trimming the squad a lot. A few will go on loan as well.

 

[bingobob]

This means we will hopefully address the imbalance in the squad. We can cut five or six players without any impact on the match day squad and the depth behind them. Doing that and one or two players in would be great work.

UOL Esporte are linking us with Lucas Moura. €30M. Would you take him?

Says Italians are also interested...

"Sources close to him" part leads me to believe it's agent talk. Let's see if this picks up steam.

Don't think much of him, rather we go for someone else.

 

[bingobob]

Chance to get rid of a lot of deadwood there.

17 players with deals expiring in the next two years. Though pretty sure we've already extended Giroud and already used the option for Cazorla.

While I'm all for trimming the squad I'd rather we managed it ourselves and sell players as opposed to seeing half our squad leave for free. We will never replace half.of them.

Where was Jacky boy today ?

And Ramsey for that matter?

Lack of interest makes things more difficult.

 

[bingobob]

Lack of interest makes things more difficult.

Perhaps. But if we are gonna lose most of them on frees why not just let them go for free now. Guys like Jenkinson, Debuchy and Gibbs will not be missed and if we don't sell them on frees now we will pay them a season or two worth of wages and lose them on frees anyway. Let them go and we save millions in wages. And free up squad space also.

 

[Ceballinhos]

UOL Esporte are linking us with Lucas Moura. €30M. Would you take him?

Now.
I watch PSG a lot and he's just another Oxlade Chamberlain (when he was playing winger) at best.
On his day he can destroy any defender in 1v1 but he has no football brain and not enough end product (even though he's playing in a very dominent team)

Also he lacks football brain. A lot.

 

[Slartibartfast]

UOL Esporte are linking us with Lucas Moura. €30M. Would you take him?

Absolutely. Talented young player. Fast and creative. Scored 19 goals last season. Wenger might be the one to get the best out of him. But unless Theo leaves I'm not sure where he would fit into this year's Arsenal squad (although I'd take him over Theo all day long and twice today, being Sunday).

I know but for now Özil Sanchez Alexis are not close from any agreement. If these 3 leave on a free it would be very hard to take for Arsenal.

Well, we really don't know how close or far away they are from an agreement. Could announce them all on Thursday for all we know. Alexis may leave next year, but I'd be kind of surprised if they can't extend Özil and Ox.
