Now I love the FA Cup..
But Arsenal should be competing for more than that. And they go through an annual circus of absolute bullshit at the expense of every other competition to win those FA Cups.

Ah fuck.
But then we just achieve no league titles or anything just like Tottenham, Liverpool, etc... if we compete for the title we wont win it. This we do win.

£92m. Can understand why Liverpool supposedly walked away from that. Shame, would've liked him here.
Oxlade-Chamberlain takes the #21 shirt.

Shame too, however not for £92m. We still have Cou (fuck him personally but if he wants CL/WC football he'll have to perform here) so it wasn't like we needed to buy anyone else going forwards right now. VVD is the transfer that hurts - or, the whole lack of defender bids to more exact.

can't wait till they pay 92m and in 3 years he leaves on a free
he is 21. 80m for vvd is something but 92 for this kid is nuts

I mean I wouldn't mind supporting Bournemouth, but yeh as a Newcastle fan Arsenal fans bitching can do one hehe, they know nothing of fall from graces in comparison

Hmm, I can see the logic there when you take Ox into account. A huge chunk of that would, in theory be the money that City would give for Sanchez, but I can imagine Arsenal want to see more talk from Monaco before buying him (potentially) with money that isn't really theirs just yet.

Yeah I'd rather we pull away even if he does want to come to Liverpool. I know he's meant to be class but £92 million is way too much for a player of his caliber. Arsenal can have this one. I don't see him improving Arsenal much considering the state they are in.

How can Southampton justify the VVD price tag.
Player wants European football, they can't provide it, he moves on for a lower price.

6yr deal he signed under a year ago.
he signed a 6 year contract this year.
35 (with 5 in add-ons) is not a really that much money. He's English so that's always going to inflate his price, but in the grand scheme of things it's nothing.
I don't even think 92 is that much for Lemar. It's a new world now.

Oh I know. See, since I'm chilean, I'm not an Arsenal or Man City fan, but an Alexis' fan.
I just want him to play in a great team where he can do his best and have actual chances of winning something important, it's pretty clear he is not going to do any memorable if he stays at Arsenal (sadly).
But you're right, maybe he will fail miserably at winning anything with Man City, who knows, the thing is with Arsenal we know for sure he has ZERO chances. So, I want him to be as far as possible from Wenger.
Regards.

Simon Jordan is a cunt
Swapping Sanchez & Ox for Lemar undeniably weakens them., whichever way you cut it.
Tell me something new aha

Yea but how many Michus would it buy?
A few years back that was a more common currency than sterling.

Doesn't mean much, if the player is unhappy sooner or later he leaves. He'll stay for another season, but they're not getting 70 million for him lol.

Monaco sure knows how to do business. Jesus.
Salah was a steal though. Glad we did that deal before the Neymar madness. Everybody done lost their minds.
You sure about that?

Swansea make £12million bid for Norwich striker Nelson Oliveira. #SwanseaCity #ncfc https://t.co/YmoeKDIZVz
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao! My bad! I bet there'll be endless cars honking in Santiago once the deal is announced officially on the radio or t13.
He'll be concentrated, but it'll be Vidal who saves our asses again
Edit: Lacazette...

He's not going anywhere today lol, and why stay next season if he has offers. Might get a high value if there's competition, but 70 million? Can't see it unless it's a PSG or Man City, money-no-object club.
Monaco could buy a whole Premier league Team with that money. Heck, and build them a stadium
It helps that Lemar is actually good

Hahaha what the fuck. He was shit last time he was at swansea! Maybe Bony is fucked up in some way.

I'd argue it was United who set it off. Early doors they paid £75m rising to £90m for Lukaku.
Neymar is a little different being a release clause and one of the 3 or 4 best players in the world, AND still young.

You forget how much money Prem teams get for just being in the Prem. I know he isn't going I am a Saints fan. Van Dijk will most likely go this time next year. £70m for a Prem proven cb (one of the best defenders in the Prem) isn't much these days. The transfermarket has gone up a level because of the cash
This doesn't have anything to do with PSG. Neymar is actually one of the best deals of the entire summer if you really think about it, a top 5 player at least for £198M while Dembele costs £96M, or Lemar £92M.
The issue is Premier League TV deal gives so much money to any team in the league that you end up with a circulating cash flow that makes clubs stupid at deadline, see Nelson Oliveira being offered £12M.
EDIT: Also it's a proven fact that if you can make deals early, those deals are always cheaper than on the last days of the summer transfer window. That's why Lacazette was so cheap compared to prices going around about now. If Arsenal wanted to sell Ox in June, they would never receive an offer like Chelsea/Liverpool did yesterday.
Going to get even more crazy in 2019.
