Players Out

Seen a few different reports around linking Calum Chambers with a move away. Seems the preference is for him to go out on loan again but Arsenal wouldn't be against a permanent move if their £15m valuation is met. Everton, Newcastle, Bournemouth and RB Leipzig are all interested.

Would be a mistake to let him leave permanently imo, not until he's been given a proper chache.

A loan would be the safer option but I'm reasonably sure Chambers not good enough for Arsenal.

More stories cropping up about Oxlade-Chamberlain wanting out. Might be his agent with one last push to get every penny we're prepared to pay. Wouldn't like to see him leave, he really can become a very good weapon if we're sticking with 3-4-3.

Saw Cross suggest that he wants out because we haven't actually offered him a new deal. Wonder what the plan is here, a major clearout? Seems very un-Wenger like to sanction such a major clearout for so many of his projects, Jack, Gibbs and now Ox and allegedly Giroud.

There are others amongst the British project I'd get rid before Chamberlain and Chambers, but getting rid of those two wouldn't be too bad. Would be refreshing to bin couple of average Wenger projects for a change. Would also probably secure Bellerin's place in the team, in the short term at least.

lequipe also suggested that wenger told him he wasnt part of his plans for next season.

Wenger needs to sign some strikers before he decides to let Giroud go.

Klaus

I'm going to be mighty annoyed if we sell Giroud but keep Welbeck. Giroud scores ₂₀ goals every season. Welbeck has scored ₂₀ goals in the last four years.

Claudius

It would be a nutty thing to do. I would actually be loathe to sell Giroud. He's a 30 year old guy who gets you 20 goals. You're going to get 20m pounds for him and then need to spend 2-3x that to bring in a suitable replacement, if we find one. More likely, we will be watching lots of Welbeck and Walcott. He's also the best plan B I've seen

I've said it before but if we sell Giroud we need 2 strikers because Welbeck is way below that required standard for second choice striker.

QuincyAbeyie

To be honest, I wouldn't care who our second striker was if we got someone like Aubameyang.

Qwiss

You'd care as soon as he got injured. Girouds a perfect back up, I just don't understand why we would sell him. No one is better coming off the bench.

Claudius

You're not going to get the value. Just milk Giroud for what you can these next two seasons. Giroud would sit on the bench and shut up if he was sitting behind an Aubameyang, etc. I would be equally agitated if I was being overlooked for Dat Guy, a man who scores goals so infrequently one has to wonder if he is playing for or against us at times.

Jed

Don't sell Giroud. Sign a 1st choice striker and have him as plan B.

Sell Feo instead.

Sell wellbeck instead

Exactly. He's a forward who scores fuck all. He's pointless.

QuincyAbeyie

I really don't think he's pointless, but obviously Giroud is a much better player and backup.

goon

Do you guys not think we benefitted from starting him over Giroud in the cup final? I don't think it's any coincidence that a lot of our best performances as a team come with either him or Theo up top despite how limited they are.

Don't get me wrong, I think Giroud is a far better striker than both, but I don't think he remotely suits out style of play except for when he's coming off the bench against tired legs and bigger gaps and that's not enough of a reason to keep him around. Frankly, I don't want him starting games for us.

y va marquer

I'm aligned with that assessment.

I don't think we have a single striker who fits the way we play. We still have three guys who are better than Welbeck on any given day. He completely screwed up the big chance he got in that finale, and it was a lucky coincidence more than anything that we ended up scoring anyway. He has a few of the basic skills we're looking for, but it doesn't help much when his level is closer to Sunderland than to Arsenal. Added to that he's always, always injured too. Just get rid of him already.
