It'll depend on injury. I can't see us going for anyone if we don't have any major injuries to deal with by then.

Barca press pretty salty about Bellerin's new deal:

That U-Turn would be hilarious when Barca sign Bellerin in 3-4 years

I'm sure there's a new Thierry Henry for us in Ligue 2.

by EL Patron Thu Nov 10, 2016 10:06 pm

Mbappe would be great but I can't see it happening, for some weird reason Arsene refuses to spend big money on promising young players. He'd rather spend 5 or 10 million on a promising kid then go hard on the next big thing Rolling Eyes

by RealGunner Thu Nov 10, 2016 10:58 pm

5 clubs will sign him before us. We have no drawing power. Arsene comes the closest but I doubt he has the same pull as before.

He seems to have a very good head on his shoulders, seems determined to be the best.

Arsene can use the Henry comparison to lure him to Arsenal.

A chance to emulate a great like Henry. It will definitely have some pull.

But we know it wont happen. We should have bid on Martial when we had the chance, but blew it. So, I have little to no faith in Wenger bringing someone like him in. He would rather risk it on a kid who is playing for a team in the Madagascar 3rd league youth reserve team.

Campbell 2.0 :coffee:

Yea, that will definitely happen, because Arsene is still fapping off on Ox, for God alone knows what reason.

Seriously, Ox should have gone and Campbell should have stayed.

Papers in Italy linking us with Roma's Leandro Paredes.

Cazorla replacement? hmm

Yes plz
him and Mbappe :bow:

by RealGunner Fri Dec 02, 2016 12:07 am

So....

Lots of Arsenal fans on twitter talking about bringing back Fabregas to replace Cazorla.

by Sina Fri Dec 02, 2016 1:00 am

Hell No

Naby Keita/Dahoud/k.kampl/L.Paredes/Koziello etc

While going through the Oezil expose, I came across this article:

http://sportwitness.co.uk/arsenal-transfer-deal-less-e500k-looks-good-value-indeed/

TL:DR

The Portuguese club released their yearly accounts on Thursday, and as revealed by the newspaper Record, they paid only €412k to have the Costa Rican player for one year.

That’s much better than Lazar Markovic from Liverpool, for whom the Portuguese club paid three times more for a temporary deal.

This is precisely the reason why I want someone to handle the transfers as I stated in the other thread.

We loaned a very good player for literally loose change to the club which was looted by Liverpool(of all clubs. They signed Caroll for then EPL-record fee. Let that sink in) for Markovic's loan and look at their records. Joel already has 3 goals and 1 assist despite not starting regularly.

I'd be happy if we did this in favor of soemthing in return(first refusal on stars, maybe?), but I'm quite sure nothing of that sort would be done.

Also, what do you guys think of Mariano?

http://sportwitness.co.uk/real-madrid-starlet-wouldnt-able-turn-arsenal-wenger-came-knocking/

Can be signed for a knockdown price, is good but do we actually have space for him?

We have Giroud, Alexis, Danny, Lucas and maybe Walcott hypothetically for that one ST slot. There's also Chuba who's younger than Mariano.

But out of the six options I've stated only Alexis(hopefully) and Danny have a real long-term future at the club, as a striker. That leaves us with one slot for squeezing in a good striker who must've cost less. We can use this for Mariano. But I don't think he'll move from the Madrid bench to the Arsenal bench. But I hope someone tells Mariano, the moment he signs for Arsenal, Danny and Alexis will have injuries, as that's the Arsenal way.

But I do feel he'll probably strangle the future of youngsters Eddie/Mavididi/Malen.

Do we still need Draxler?

by El Gunner Sun Dec 04, 2016 1:33 pm

Hell no.

by Sri Sun Dec 04, 2016 2:40 pm

Is he that bad now? hmm

by Sina Sun Dec 04, 2016 3:49 pm

Not worth breaking the bank for(I assume he would cost more than 50M)
need someone more productive/consistent

by urbaNRoots Sun Dec 04, 2016 3:54 pm

Draxler is shit but we could do definitely do with another wide forward, especially on the left side. Iwobi still has to prove a lot and Oxlade-Chamberlain has time to cement his place until the summer if he can.

Need to consult with my FIFA save to see for some potential targets.
