BTW! Hearing rumours that Lacazette is done. But we know this cannot be until we see him with the shirt right!

Re: The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017
You are spot on. But I don't think Sky is putting Giroud down. I will not even compare them because they are completely different type of players. As a number 9, there are few in Europe better than Giroud. I also do not think he will be sold. We need both of them for the struggles ahead.zoldsasok wrote:Haha Sky dont do that to Giroud now, i will take Lacazette because of his speed, conversion rate and looks like he fits more into Arsenal play butSkylolo wrote:Waffiman wrote:realtrouble wrote:anikulapo wrote:Waffiman wrote:Arsenal increase Lacazette bid. Rumours of deal close.
And finally, Lacazette is better than Giroud at everything else I can think of apart from aerial balls.
Giroud is also better in one touch no look link up play, holdup play, and defending especially corners
i hope Giroud doesnt have to leave because of Lacazette

There is a lot of talk amongst some sections of the fan base that Sanchez is signing on.
If all these turn out to be correct, I see a connection.
I thought Arsenal was posturing with Ox, but it turns out they are not.
For me, Arsenal letting go of so many English players (rumours of club not offering Wilshere terms, just like Gibbs and Oxlade) is a deliberate attempt to alter the dynamics of the dressing room and letting go of more injury prone players.
Ramsey has been offered terms and I hear very good terms too. He will sign on. If you are the above players, you know what's up with Ramsey. You know your time us up.
Always a bit of a downer to see these guys leave. But that's life. I wish them all the best if their time is up at Arsenal.
If Sanchez stays and certain players leave. For me, it points directly to problems with the players during that awful period last season. If you guys remember, I also called it the season before.
It is now looking like the club is going to shift out almost all the players involved. If this happens and Sanchez stays, it is clear to me whose side the Manager has chosen. Just like Wenger got all he asked, winning his power struggle. If Sanchez stays it is clear victory for Sanchez

Re: The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017
I don't care who stays or goes. As you know, I only care about the club I am a supporting member of. I have never decried Sanchez quality, but called into question his professionalism and attitude. I still maintain, I will gladly see the back of him so long as we get a replacement. No player is bigger than the club.Gooner1 wrote:Waffiman wrote:For some reason, it is becoming clear Arsenal do not want to keep this player.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:txj wrote:Ox.....

But it was always clear Wenger bent over backwards to accommodate Sanchez, even ex-players who know a thing or two about Arsenal's dressing room like Keown and Dixon, called for the pampered Sanchez to toe the line or leave.
Finally, when I examine Sanchez work load in the past 4 seasons, I will not give him a bumper contract. 2 Confed Cups, 2 Copa Americas, all those friendlies and WC qualifications points to a player that is too much of an injury risk, especially at his age. Ozil is being given a rest by Germany. But what do I know?
I hope, if the rumours are really true and he stays, that we get the benefits by winning the league and he plays his part. Am a Gooner, I want the best and will only defend those who fight for the shirt. End off.

Re: The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017
With all due respect Waffi, this is hogwash. You are making it sound like Wenger splashed for a game changing LB like Mendy or Alex Sandro or Marcelo. Kolisanic is an opportunistic free transfer that is a marginal improvement over our current players at best. Makes complete financial sense and little risk so I completely understand the move but don't make it seem like Wenger took a major gamble hereWaffiman wrote:Lawd have mercy. The negativity in this place is just boring and tedious.
Many here have written the club off and boy they are miserable.
They were edgy over our transfer dealings, and wrote us off long before the summer, just like they did before the Cup final. So why should anyone bother with the defeated? I'm not, except to ridicule and ignore them.
Wenger could have stuck with Nacho and Gibbs easily, but he wants more. Getting Kolasinac is manifest. But I come here and you think someone just died.
Like Wenger said, we need just 2-3 new players, and that's dependent upon outgoings. I'm pretty sure we will get the required bodies in.

Re: The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017
Gotta feel bad for Monaco as it looks like their team will be picked apart by the vultures this summer. Silva gone and Bakayako, Fabinho, Mbappe, Mendy & Lemar all set to leave if you believe the rumours. IMO Arsenal should be after their main scouts as those players would walk into Arsenal's first 11 and were bought for combined less than Xhaka and Mustafi

One man's #Coach wrote:And now gentlemen, the elevation of Lacazette above and beyond all others. Well substantiated fact is his striking pedigree, but should he be acquired and arrive at the Grove, let it be known, statistically, at the same stage in their development, Lacazette is the striker in the world. One will be the first to say, United paid 70 odd for Morata, Wenger went t Lyon with a bag of francs and his phallus protruding from unzipped flies. Lyon asked for more and he scooped out a pair of testicles before threatening to take his custom elsewhere. #Bullied.
As for Oxlade, rumours abound of a divisive nature in the dressing room. #getrid.

You negative and miserable lot always know better than those who run the club yet you lot have no record of managing a pub team let alone a proper football team.
We just got a player who was voted by Bundesliga fans as the best LB in their league with over 80% of the votes for free yet he mentions Sandro and Mendy.
What do these fans know? What do the professionals at Arsenal know when compare to a 9 yr old sage like you?

^Unfortunately there are those who win a league with lesser players and others who squander better. The game needed a cap on transfer fees and wages a long time ago, it never came, now, madness reigns. Sadly, the antithesis was a fantastic failure, Bendtner, Szczesznyzzz, Denilson, Djorou etc, these guys were supposed to be our Ajax by now. Walcott, Ramsey, Wilshere, Gibbs, Oxlade, Frimpong, sadly when the school's are failing, there's little choice but to find the end product in the market place. Crazy can be avoided, but mad is inevitable.

Abi? So if Waffi is saying as a manager, he won't spend 'crazy' money on players, he should come and tell us where all the "crazy money" coming in should go. So football makes money, Wenger gets pain >8 million, then you elect to field the likes of Djorou, Frimpong Gibbs, etc against Tottenham's Wanyama, Dembele, Erikson, etc? And this is the same Arsenal with scouts in France that consistently fail to spot talent?
