Hope they are told to fuck off after their shenanigans in the suarez talks.

Give us either one of Coutinho, Sturridge, Origi, Mane or Firmino and its a deal.

Neither of those guys will do much for us I reckon. I'd rather just sell them Chambo outright, make sure to get that English international premium, and put that money towards saving James from Real Madrid. I reckon that's the caliber of signing we need if the player is to be in with a shout to actually have a bearing on our results this season.

£60 million + 1 and they can have him

Hope the club enters talks with them until an advanced stage when suddenly we cancel all negotiations just to fuck with them

Fuck that garbage ass club. I'd rather sell to Spurs than them

What happened to Adem Ljajic?

He's doing well at Torino dules. I think he was unfairly treated at Inter, Mancini hated how "lazy" he was during practice despite the fact he was probably the most creative midfielder for them last season. 

Linked with N'zonzi. Can't see it happening but would love him here

Absolutely not what we need. What's the point of another central midfielder if he isn't a marked improvement on what we have?

He's probably the best CM in La Liga this season alongside Modric. We don't have someone of his power and stature.

Anyway, doesn't matter. The way we use our CM, hardly anyone will be an improvement without a proper game plan

We don't need a single signing right now. We have a deep and healthy team, with various players who still have scope to give us more, e.g., Ramsey, Welbeck, Lucas, Gibbs, and maybe Mertesacker if he's still able-bodied. Ramsey especially needs to find a position on this team and go nuts in the second half, or tell his agent to work the lines.

There is certainly room for internal improvement, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. We are still short a top class player for our front line, which has been the case for a long while now, and if such a player should become available Wenger needs to get off his hands. If we are not whispering to Madrid and James that we are interested, then that would be stupid.

If we got N'zonzi would could actually have a well balanced team

---------------Cech
Bellerin-Mustafi-Kos--Nacho
-------N'zonzi--Xhaka
---Ozil---Ramsey--Alexis
-----------Giroud

Won't happen as Wenger won't move Ozil, but I'd have confidence that that team would dominate the midfield and with Ramsey further forward we'd press more and be very direct

He is heavily linked with City, not us.

James and Nzonzi would be a waste of money. James at 10 will not be a massive improvement on Ozil and or Iwobi. Btw, I'm typically not one for improving from within, but I want to see more of Iwobi. The kid has incredible vision and hunger. After Sanchez and a mentally fit Ozil, he gives me the most joy when I watch this Arsenal team. Just keep playing him.

Ozil needs to step up. He needs to be the playmaker he was last year and feed the 3 striker forward line.
Ramsey needs to come in and do a job with Cazorla injured and El Neny in the AfCon
Welbeck can come in and give us the workrate that's sometimes missing in the front line apart from Sanchez
And Lucas still has a lot more in store.

Trades are not the only way to improve a team. We have to exploit what we have, including the manager improving tactics and substitions. You can't just throw money every time you're unhappy

Only player I'd be fussed about signing is Griezmann - he'd add another dimension to our attack and I mean that in the sense that he'd seriously trouble any defence and bail us out in big games.
He's the kind of signing we always allow happen for the United, City and Chelsea - if he ends at United as rumoured it'll be a sign that they're really back on the up.

Y Va, I wouldn't keep my hopes up.
United are so rich that they could match us in the transfer market next summer. And then sign Griezmann on top for 100m pounds. No marquee player will come here as long as United can double our bid and double the salary we offer.

Oh I don't think we'll sign him.
Just underlining how the signings we make are in general of the incremental improvement variety as opposed to the transformative kind.

Yep. I doubt we'll make any transformative signings any time soon though. There were rumours that Griezmann was our bug summer target but we couldn't convince him to join.

Griezmann mentioned that there was nothing in those rumours unfortunately.

Look , no top player is going to come to Arsenal unless they are hungry for money or finds a manager who wants to do what it takes to win . We have zero ambition under a manager who cannot inspire any more than a CL place. and players who are comfortable at being associated with Arsenal FC and collecting a wage rather than playing FOR Arsenal. That leaves only finance as an attraction , which wont ever happen because there is no way we can match wages that top players want.
Needs a change in management and a change in attitude. Then the players we need will come and work with something they think will work.

Something you'd expect him to say once a transfer falls through, though. Benzema said the same thing and we know we were negotiating heavily for him.

Linked with PSV right back Rick Karsdorp for around £5m. He looks just the ticket. Good on the ball and aggressive.

Hopefully we can shift Debuchy and Jenkinson and get someone like him in as cover/competition for Hector

Linked to Pjanic, would be a great signing IMO.

Yeah, excellent idea...

I'd hope Pjanic was coming as a Cazorla upgrade.

Daily Star claims that we're interested in Smalling. Brilliant. One Silvestre wasn't enough.

We have our new LB to replace Monreal in future.

We did well to win the race vs Woking and Braintree Town

He looks so one footed. We have too many players like that

get N'zonzi to add real power to our midfield - bin Coquelin

Go hard to get Pjanic, who is the best free kick taker in the world
