Nah no chance he is leaving. He is one of our only 2 left footed CB. Arteta is too rigid he has never played 2 right footer there.

Besiktas making a move for Mari
Hopefully goes through
this would be laughable
We should definitely keep Mari. Doesn't surprise me that clubs are coming in for him, he had a very good season.
A bit telling that possibly our best center back is only good enough for Besiktas.

We need at least one top CB, in not sure if white Is the right one I've not seen enough of him. But I fully understand why arteta is going for one.
If we get White we have 5 CBs, someone has to go so if we can get a decent fee for Mari it makes sense.
Tierney would probably step in in a pinch too
According to Aspor(from Turkey) Fenerbahce is using Mesut Ozil’s tactic in their negotiations with Arsenal for Sead Kolasinac. With just a year left on the player’s contract they want Arsenal to pay half of his salary for a year. (3M) Arsenal has not given an answer yet.
Not only do we not make money on players, we don't seem to be able to give them away for free 😆
christ I thought kolasinacs deal has already run down
That has to be the worst period of purchases in our history.

Absolutely
Kolasinac, Mustafi, Xhaka……to be fair even Lacazette for the amount cost……shocking period that we can’t recover from.
Hindsight and all. All mentioned looked levels better at their former clubs, bar Xhaka who developed some and some dumb habits
the only one I called as a duff buy from day 1 was lacazette. thought the rest would be decent
Yeah - I actually thought Mustafi was a great buy, if a little overpriced [facepalm] especially after his initial partnership with Kos seemed to be very strong. Was very disappointed in both Lacazette and Xhaka though.
We have apparently rejected a 12 million £ opening bid from Crystal Palace for Nketiah.
Our expectations are 15 million £ + 5 million add-ons.
They are very reasonable expectations. Interesting that Vieira wants Eddie.
Sky Italy: The signing of Granit Xhaka by Roma doesn’t look to be close anytime soon. Roma not willing to pay what Arsenal are asking for.
Di Marzio: There are ongoing talks between Arsenal and Inter Milan for Bellerin. The deal could work on a loan with option to buy, Inter prefers this formula. Next meeting will be decisive

bellerin has told us he wants to go to inter. hopefully we don't bow to these tight fisted Italians demands
