Mourinho has lost it already. His 3 year cycle is getting shorter every minute.

Jack is the best signing of the window, we just can't afford to give him a run of games for him to be a crock again. We're stacked in midfield as it is. Not a better place to go to than Bournemouth either really, also could be an attempt for us to get Eddie Howe easily once Arsene leaves, seeing as apparently the board are keen on him. Jack was willing to go to Roma but poor relations between the clubs after trying to conduct business for Manolas ruled that one out.

I really hope this isn't the end of him at Arsenal as he only has 2 years left on his deal and is still a super talent. To put some perspective into it I'm nearly as gutted as if Mesut left.

I posted about how ridiculous it was that Wilshere got into the England squad for Euro 2016 on Facebook earlier this year and got about 30 comments saying Wilshere was better than Drinkwater over the season, now he's at Bournemouth.

I still maintain he never should've got a place at Euro 16.


He's still England best centre mid. You take your best players to tournaments.

Did they?


Yes.

Never really looked threatened and considering the side has barely had a chance to gel and Mkhitaryan hasn't even featured yet, it looks good for them

Only problem is if Zlatan gets injured because although I rate Rashford I don't think he's fully ready to take the mantle in a season where they want to win the League

The top two is hard to call but I've gone for Manchester United to outdo their rivals City for no real reason whatsoever, I think this'll be the campaign Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League, losing out to London rivals duo of Tottenham and Chelsea. Liverpool, I think will finish sixth in Klopp's first full season in charge.

He tried to sign him once as a striker before he fell off a cliff? At any rate, you're talking about a man that subbed John Terry at half time and then started phasing him out after playing him for every minute of the season before.


Also talking about a man who is so insanely stubborn in his ways that he lost Chelsea's dressing room and led them to about 15th. Rooney will start every game possible and will only ever consider dropping him after an entire season of watching him

Thank fuck that marketing campaign is over.

Pogba being driven around Manchester in a Chevrolet, that bellend Stormzy having some stupid video with Pogba. Die.

Looking forward to seeing him play but hope United fans aren't expecting miracles from him otherwise he's doomed from the start

The man reportedly rejected Chelsea several times, to stay in Spain at Sociedad and Atletico.
He doesn't seem that bothered with money.


Yeah, he initially rejected us to sign with Atleti too. Arsene has been absolutely obsessed with him though, more than he was with Götze when he was at Dortmund. Who knows though, only so much heartbreak the little man can endure with Atletico.

It's not so much that I don't think you're a big enough club or can't afford it (although, can you afford £80m + wages + bonuses on one player?) its that I don't think Greizmann leaves to anyone, certainly not this window. Why would he? He's never going to get it as good as he's got it there, top earner and the most important player at one of Europe's biggest clubs its like Jamie Vardy at Leicester x 47. What attraction do Arsenal hold to him?

It just strikes me as one of those transfers where everyones sitting around going 'Why aren't my club in for him?' when the reality is, like everyone, they've sounded out his agent early doors and know whats up.

But that said, if he did leave, I don't see him going to Arsenal. We'll be looking to throw money at someone again next summer, PSG are desperate for someone to replace Zlatan, and Chelsea, and City would be in for him. Maybe he'll be like Sanchez and just decide he wants London, but, even then, I don't see what would draw him to Arsenal.


Alexis didn't decide because of London, he joined us because we were the best team interested in him.

As I said I have no idea of how Griezmann's mind works, but £££ does have some pulling power on any player and I can't exactly see Griezmann retiring at Atleti.

And yes we can absolutely afford that. We're the most cash rich club in World football, the reason we aren't big spenders is largely because of Wenger than anyone else. We're able to generate ~£70m's worth of transfers a season and we only spent £16m last season altogether.

I'm not saying it's ever going to happen, but the way Wenger has banged on about value in a 'scary' market where Lukaku is somehow worth £67m, says that £100m transfers are justifiable if you have money in United & Pogba's case, Griezmann is quite possibly a 'bargain' at ~£80m.

Obviously if Real/Barca/Bayern ever go into him (or if United get CL football, which they should) then obviously we have no chance.

GFFN stating that Arsenal have made contacts with the Mahrez camp & Arsene done that fucking smirk at the Leicester-PSG game.

And why? I don't think he'll come but when you lay it out it isn't the most preposterous idea. It is a step down in terms of actual club ability but so was Ibra/Pogba/Mkhitaryan to United but £££ got them in the end. Arsene has been obsessed with Griezmann in the past and had stated the current market 'scares him' (£75m for Higuain, £100m for Pogba) and is only gonna get worse, so he may look at Griezmann buyout clause of ~£80m and think it represents value in the current market. The possibility of Gameiro & Diego Costa to Atleti who are both starters essentially is only gonna fuel this shite even more, like the merry-go-round which brought Mesut here in the first place.

We could comfortably offer Griezmann £180-200k p/w which is most likely more significant than what he's earning now and it's in the best interests in the club to have a marquee signing as Alexis & Mesut only have 2 years left on their deals meaning if we carry on showing no ambition in the market then we're going to lose them at a cut price next summer. He's the only 'world class' player we could theoretically sign but obviously the fault in the logic is would Griezmann actually want to come to Arsenal, and if I was him I wouldn't personally but money talks.

I think the Higuain & Pogba deals show that there can be real value in release clauses in football at the minute (despite Gonz transferring through one). Might be a step down from Atleti but if Arsene sees this is the case then Griezmann's £75m one shows great value in football at the minute.
