Kylian Mbappe

Because we've offered considerably more?

Ornstein repeats what his club sources tell him. He's not the best source when its early days

Nothing to see here lads.

Sigh! I yearn for the golden days when we could dream of signing Jamie Vardy before the Euros.

I'd forgotten Vardy rejected us 😆 . That makes this seem even more ridiculous. We couldn't attract Jamie Vardy of all people, when we had Champions League football and Ozil/Sanchez to boast of, but now we're getting excited at the thought of luring Europe's hottest young talent who also knocked that back last year and ahead of all the big guns who no doubt want him this year too.

Not going to happen. If we see Mbappe in an Arsenal top next season then someone behind the scenes deserves a statue outside the stadium alongside Henry, Bergkamp and Adams.

Is it season ticket renewal time?

Come on guys, don't give up so early. This thread had Arshavin potential.

Then what this thread needs is a llama picture.

Source?

It was on the Beeb's live sportsday thing.

Ornstein is normally fed by the club sources so they want to keep this underwraps as much as possible which is understandable.

We offered more up front to tempt Monaco. Won't be over unless Mbappe rejects our advances.

Exactly which is why he is usually spot on when it comes to confirming news and not as reliable when it comes to breaking news.

At early days I doubt the club wpuld really want to be exposing their transfer activity unless its pretty close and almost a done deal.

The only thing I'd say is I'm not sure why they'd flat out deny it instead of simply not commenting. If he's their go to man I can't imagine they'd give him bad info. Will wait to see if he expands on it.

Big Willie

Probably just to distance themselves from the rumours and hide their interest.

Either way Ornstein has been wrong before, even going as far as to say we would be conducting no business on transfer deadline day, despite eventually signing Welbeck soon thereafter.

BBC online entry miswritten by desk - I didn't confirm/deny story, merely said Arsenal are denying it, now corrected http://bbc.in/2rt37nq

There's new HOPE!

It's back on!

That's a pretty telling distinction by the way.

Feel like this is still houseboat territory- my guess is that Wengie and the board know that he's lost a majority of the fanbase, and putting in a bid for someone like Mbappe signals "intent." Time will tell, but given what Ornstein was saying that we're looking to cut our wage bill, spending 100m+ on one player seems incredibly unlikely.

Mbappe wouldn't be on mega wages, probably somewhere in walcotts neighborhood
