“I am very critical towards Aubameyang but I also think that about the Ousmane Dembele situation as well,” he said.

“If you are a club who want to acquire players like this you had better think about it twice.

“You have to understand that these character issues can re-surface in the future.”

And when asked if he would bring Aubameyang to Bayern, he relied: “Certainly not.”

Jupp Heynckes :shock: :shock:
Take everything that comes out of Bayern with a heavy pinch of salt and pepper.
They are serial complaining hypocrites. If those players were headed to or at Bayern, the story would be very different.

They complain about wages, transfer fees, PSGs influence, etc when it suits them. They have a virtual monopoly in Germany, you dont hear them complaining about that. It's mad to listen to Heynckes, Rummenige or any of that lot.

Chilean Bellamy! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

I was in stitches. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
Joke is on you mate. Sanchez was by far our best player over the 2.5 or 3.5 years he pkayed for Arsenal. If you think Arsenal is stronger by selling him then I have a bridge to sell to you.
Well, that's your opinion and I strongly disagree. The joke is on you cos you are not aware of how I really feel about the player.

Santi was easily our best till we lost him. Then Ozil became our best player. The Chilean Bellamy :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: was never our best player.

Just my opinion.

If you have been following my posts here, you will know I have had issues with Sanchez for over 2 years due to the problems he was for the club off the pitch. One thing, I never took away from him is his quality on the pitch.

Finally, you saw how Iwobi played today in his favourite position. If Sanchez leaving gives Alex more game in the roles he prefers on the pitch and we win, I have no complaints. I will not miss Sanchez and many here know it.
Alexis Sanchez was Arsenal's best player last season....easily. This demonization of players who choose to leave has to stop, it's not becoming.
What demonisation? You have an opinion, I have mine. To you he was, to me he was not. Fair enough, we agree to disagree. No need to judge or cast aspersions at another's opinion cos you disagree.

Besides, you love to look at my posts history or timeline here. If you are being honest, you will know for about 2 years, I have been calling the player out here for his behaviour. You should know I don't like the player but I have never questioned his quality.

Yesterday, to make sure the player was going, I went into the Arsenal shop. I did not see anything with Sanchez in the shop. It gave me a nice feeling. I don't care about the player anymore, he is no longer Arsenal. I am just glad he is out of my Club.

Finally, you saw how Iwobi played today in his favourite position. If Sanchez leaving gives Alex more game in the roles he prefers on the pitch and we win, I have no complaints. I will not miss Sanchez and many here know it.

If Alexis wasn't the best, who was?

If you've paid attention, you'll note that it's been you AND I who have raised questions about Alexis.

Yeah. He once said Liverpool will never pay silly money for a player. Then they paid for Van Dyke.

The same Liverpool sold Sterling to City.

You guys have short memories. I don't.

Klopp knows Arsenal have Mhki and maybe Aubemeyang. He is worried.

This is what he said:

Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Liverpool will NEVER sell a top player to a Premier League rival.

The Kop boss claims not one of his stars would be tempted by a move to another English club as Alexis Sanchez closes in on his switch from Arsenal to Manchester United.


Klopp said: “No Liverpool player of this squad would leave – and not just because we say it but because of their commitment to the club.

“No-one would leave to any other Premier League club during the season.


As for Klopp being worried; that's just Waffi being Waffi....those are two 30yr olds....
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

One will wager, with a degree of confidence, if he doesn't renew his contract at Ashburton, Mighty Mesut will join one of the Big Five:
Bayern
Barca
Juve

Lucas Perez please come back to Arsenal. Boy is dazzling vs Madrid and just set up the lone goal as Depor takes the lead and makes Zizou’s seat even hotter

I'll give this to Arsenal this Jan they have been decisive and efficient.

There has been no hedging , no dithering, no procrastination. they had as plan for Jan window and have followed suit. Sold Coq, Theo and Sanchez in expedited fashion and identified and seemingly acquired desired replacement sans genuine drama in Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang.

Sanchez exit very messy but unlike RVP Arsenal had a plan, followed through and salvaged a decent return out of a bad situation.

Still huge concern with CM, believe Arsenal are truly missing out not going all in on Ndidi, Ndidi acquisition would be a game changer for Arsenal highly flawed CM. Also concern over CB, contrast between Kos and likes of Chambers and Holding is the size of the Atlantic Ocean. CB like Tarkowski whilst not a big name would be a massive upgrade over Holding and Chambers.

So Arsenal gets a bloody reject for one of the best players in the world? Someone needs to be fired for this :curse: :curse: i feel sorry for Mikhcrap sef. Knives are already out for him by annoyed Gunners on social media. He better come with his best.

I have never been a fan of the Armenian Mouseketeer but a part of me dey sorry for the guy. So I go withhold all my prior views and give poor guy a chance and a fresh board to write his destiny.

It is what it is so make we watch and see :scared:

Aubameyang is 29 today.
He's 28 according to Wikipedia and Transfermarkt. Born June 18, 1989. Still a lot of dough to be throwing around, he's a quality player though.
Thanks for the correction. Got mixed up with Mkhitaryan

Pure spin for Liverpool fans. Like his claim about not spending silly money, it is rubbish. He paid stupid money for Van Dyke and Sterling was sold to City. He should spare us the BS. Many players have left Liverpool to other clubs during the season.

He is worried cos ManU on paper are stronger. No Liverpool supporter likes that. All the Liverpool supporters I know are horrified at this deal. Arsenal also got a good player for such a steal, we have funds for a striker. This makes us stronger and gives us a real chance for 4th.

Klopp is worried cos rivals will be stronger. That's football, you look at your rivals, if they get improve by adding quality, you are worried.

Tarkowski is a solid defender, the priority must be a new defender and CM. Chambers and Holding are not ready at this level.

But does Wenger think about things like this? I think the problem is that he loves these kids like his grandchildren, and he doesn't want to "slow" their progress.

As much as I love Ndidi as a player and wish him the best in his career (farrrr farrrr away from Wenger), it is obvious that he would make Arsenal MUCH better.

TG, remember when we were struggling in the striker department, and you keep suggesting some dude in France by the name Papis Cisse? Judging by how well he did in NC, even as a stop-gap measure, he would have certainly helped us at that time.
