MUNDO DEPORTIVO: Agreement between Barca and Arsenal for Alexis
SPORT: Sanchez to Arsenal for 38M!
Sport saying that first Arsenal and Barcelona will announce the Sanchez deal and then Barcelona and Liverpool will announce the Suarez deal

[urbaNRoots]

Catalan Radio Station RAC1 now saying Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal is done, announcement tonight or tomorrow.

Again what Jay said, probably won't be announced until next week

[MJ]

I think our options are fine between Sanchez, Walcott and Giroud playing up front although I'm only certain about the latter two being capable options.

With depth on the wings in Podolski, Campbell, Ox, Gnabry (if not loaned out) [+ Sanchez and Walcott] and up front in Giroud and Sanogo (if not loaned out) [+ Sanchez and Walcott] we should have a lot of choices and be able to be that much more versatile.

So, yes. We'll be signing £8m Remy as well.

[Sri]

I wouldn't mind Remy one bit. We shouldn't forget that we have let go of quite a few players and we could do with squad depth.

The fact that Giroud hasn't missed much in his last three seasons only reaffirms my belief that he is going to be injured this season. Law of averages, let's call it.

Although, I am already genuinely concerned by Poldi's lack of minutes. I expected a lot more from him.

[Jay29]

Apparently, according to Twitter sources, we're looking at a young centre back for defensive cover as well. He's supposed to be a top prospect but they've not given a name.

Could this be the summer we actually sort out all our weaknesses?

Looking forward to 22:00-22:30 to see if the English papers back up the Spanish ones. Then we can start hoping there're no last minute cock ups/interruptions.

I know the signs are there, but in the interest of your health, don't get your hopes up too high Jay.

[Sina]

we scouted John Stones yet decided not to pursue and let Toffees get him   
now who else
Jamal Lascelles?
Eric Dier?
get some English CB for future dont want another hyped  Eredivisie center back who doesnt care about the club   

[RealGunner]

Sanchez pls don't be an illusion.

Eric Dier would be a great signing. A top CB prospect would be nice considering we have had no decent CB since Senderos was the next Adams

[djoe26]

Ginter? we were linked with him before too.

[urbaNRoots]

Ginter will go to Dortmund as it stands so it's not him.

[Sina]

Senderos

still won at Bernabeu with this back 4   
Eboue-Kolo-Senderos-Flamini

when will we have Sanchez Thread RG?

[RealGunner]

Lol Debuchy is not as high profile of a signing so even if there is egg on our faces when he signs for Sunderland instead, we can at least delete the thread and pretend it never happened

Sanchez is more sensitive.

[RealGunner]

Oh, Fabian Schaar was linked with us few weeks back, he is a pretty talented CB. Could be him.

Check arsenal.com on the 10th.
If there is nothing there then just internet stories.

[6unner]

A new signing.
Abou Diaby trained today.

[Jay29]

@GeoffArsenal: Fee agreed with Barca re Sanchez. Surely he must be ours now.

And fwiw, @WayneVeysey: Told Sanchez to Arsenal not finalised quite yet. But not far off. All parties confident deal will go through & he will soon be #AFC player.

Sanchez-Arsenal has been held up by the Suarez transfer. Barca do not want to sanction Sanchez sale until Suarez deal with #LFC is completed

Also this:

@StanCollymore: We just spoke to Wenger here, deal is as good as done with Sanchez! From the horses mouth!

[6unner]

Fire sale on Brazilian's starts tomorrow.

[REWB]

lets get dante

Arsenal talking to QPR about Remy. Seems to be the rumour that won't go away this summer:

http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/transfer-news/arsenals-loic-remy-transfer-close-3830098

Surprised the English press haven't jumped all over the Sanchez news.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Why you angry Sina? He's a good player and brings stuff that Giroud can't as a rotation option.

After Sanchez you were never going to sign Cavani or someone like that, as far as cover for Giroud goes you could do a lot worse.

[Jay29]

Wenger was apparently asked if he had seen any players at the World Cup he'd want at Arsenal:

[RealGunner]

Irish Mirror wat

I won't mind tbh. It doesn't look like we will sign an elite CF(not that there are any available). Might as well get Remy as Giroud's back up.

[RealGunner]

Arsene ffs

do a mad thing and sign Khedira and Muller as well
