I'd love to get Aguero but I don't believe for a second we are demanding him as part of the deal.

Some papers are mentioning it now, hope there is some substance to it.

Aguero is a bit injury prone but he still averages 30 goals a season, that pretty much replaces Alexis' goals.

Ozil operating behind Laca and Aguero could be deadly! Better than what we had last season IMO.

A top CM and CB could complete the squad

Independent reporting it now, but most sources say only Sterling is interested to join us not Aguero.

Apparently City wanted only cash deal, but we demanded Sterling / Aguero instead.

So our plan to replace Mustafi is... Johnny Evans.

Evans is better and we should have bought him instead of Mustafi last year.

Alexis for Sterling plus £
Van Dijk for Walcott plus £
Sell Lucas, Gibbs, Debuchy, Ox, Mustafi
Buy Evans, Nzonzi plus one from Mahrez, or Draxler

I don't think we'd pull up any trees in the immediate term but this would constitute a non-disastrous start to a rebuilding effort that will take multiple years.

As long as Wenger is here, it doesn't really matter if we get Aguero or not. Might as well try to bring in a few young players that will still be here when Wenger is gone.

Two days left in the window, I'll be amazed if more than two deals get done in the time. Probably shunt a bunch of our underperformers off on poor loan deals where we're still covering half their wages.

Yeah we wanted him last year.

Basically we are 1 year behind in transfer plans, reverting back to last year's targets.

Evans looks good in a Pulis team. I bet he'd be as much of a floundering mess at Arsenal as Mustafi has often been.

Pursuing Jonny Evans is essentially revealing how st our scouting is. We honestly couldn't find a better defender in any of the top 10 leagues across Europe and South America for 30M than a Y*ted reject? Shame on Wenger and shame on the scouting team at the club.

Whatever happens in the next few days, you can bet your life on it bring a poorly managed, panic induced shambles, in keeping with everything else the club has been doing in recent years

Yup. Can't get excited at all even if there is a lot of activity. We simply have too much change required to get to where we want to be. All these late move won't be by design and we'll be lucky to come out of it any better than we currently are.

Wenger will be sacked by Christmas

Wishful thinking surely Dules. What makes you think he'd get sacked? The only way Wenger is breaking his contract is if he resigns.

What has Evans proved at WBA that we didn't already know? He is perfectly acceptable, maybe a Cahill-lite but this is not an intelligent move.

Aguero to us is laughable, he'd have no chance turning us down with other offers.

I'd rather us work out what formation we are going to work best in and getting the right players for that. Ozil will be gone in shirt while so.why bend the team around him anymore?

Results will speak for themselves Don.

We lack goal threat, discipline and physical presence. Burnley, Everton, West Brom and the likes will beat us regularly

Anyways Evans has snubbed us - doesn't want to work under Wenger 😆

Of course he doesn't. He has Man City wanting to make him a starter, why the fuck would he join this shit show? Why would anyone want to join us this week?

Hilarious isn't it. We look nailed on to have an absolutely disastrous season, I'd just about be reluctant to take a contract at Arsenal myself at the moment.

West Brom didn't accept our bid for Evans either. Apparently they don't want to sell to a direct rival.
