Lets face it, the only reason Balague is remotely respected as a 'journalist' is because hes spanish therefore seen as some sort of exotic. If his name was Keith Bogtrotter from hull, the wouldn't still have the platform he has with the utter drivel he comes out with
So what you're saying is, he's the Spanish equivalent of the Sun?

Honestly, why do you care?
He’s right! No way should a player be involved in this deal! We’ve all seen what mhki can do he’s worth at least 30 million in this market. Pay the money and give Arsenal permission to make a deal with the player separately.

how hard can it be to hold a pen, and sign your name on a piece of papaer..
Is he trying to sign with his feet or soemthing? just sign the contract already.
There's alot of things which go into a deal. His agent needs to receive a fee , Alexis needs to agree wages with club, Alexis needs to find a house for his family, Arsenal needs to receive the cash, papers need to be looked at and sent, plus they need to keep everything as much away from the crazy media as possible or it can all go wrong.

It will be the Mata role, although he was not too bad tonight or of late. He is no bad player but its not our styke that suites him

He also kinda reminds me of Caesar the dog whisperer which is also an 'exotic' person. They look similar.
It's just that Balague is more of a Pep whisperer.

This looks like the current situation given everything we've seen tonight, and this guy is connected to Di Marzio. He's not a random.


Arsenal moves for Aubameyang behind the back of BVB. Dortmund gets pissed, buys Mkhitaryan and Malcom and finishes Arsenal off for good. :D

I do feel for Mhiki in all honesty if he is being used as part of the deal. At the same time, you have to admire Mata more... When Jose came in you'd have bet he would be the one to be ushered out. Yet he had won a starting place quite frequently and looks like Mikhi will be the one out first

If the swap works out then he'll be going to another great football club after performing terribly so it's hard to feel much for him in that sense.

Of course. Professionally he will be fine. Guess it's sentimentality after cheering him on through the tough transition at first, going on to win the EL. I'd rather he have been actively seeking a transfer, say for more playing time. Or perhaps that is the case

...if Sanchez joins, that looks about right for the remainder of the season wouldn’t you say?

Its time for mkhitaryan to be decisive and useful for our cause for his first time in history ie by leaving.

I think he will play centrally. It's a long time since he played on the right and Martial is doing too well on the left.

Yea I can see José experimenting and giving him a look there as well.

4231 not a big deal with him and Jesse being interchangeable. 433 is where Sanchez would have to play the right due to lack of options.

I am not a fan for a sanchez move at this stage. His addition would likely come with a tidy transfer fee and very high wages. He is not going to win us the league or CL and the FA cup is a long shot.

With/Without Sanchez, we should still finish in top 3 and have a decent run in CL. Except for a good LB, I dont see the need for a January move

I would be more interested in looking towards the summer for players like Dybala, Pulisic etc. The team needs more creativity in the final 3rd.

I think Miki, at some point in time, decided to leave United. There was news of a bust up with Jose who is not exactly good at handling mentally weak players and is a big fan of mentally strong ones. I guess that's why Mata is still in the team against all odds. He's shown Jose he's willing to stay and fight even if he is not assured of starting every week. Same for Martial who seems to have changed in terms of his mental approach to the game and Jose's handling of him. Shaw might also be in this category. He had every reason to moan and demand a transfer but it appears he might have decided to fight.

I actually think that's pretty reasonable there from Carragher. I reckon that's likely closer to the truth then what City have briefed, to make it seem like United's money is the only reason we're (potentially) signing Sanchez. He's just said that City are backing down because of the principle of Sanchez trying to extort them for more money after negotiating with their rivals. Makes sense, as City were willing to pay more money as an overall package in the summer, but now they're not and they're making it as if the money was the reason.

Shitty and principles regarding money?

Remember Nasri?

No. I see his creativity as more of creating for himself than making others around him better. (like a better and more productive Martial). From Arsenal, I would pick Ozil ahead of him.

And we dont want Sanchez?
I simply dont think its worth the cost in the long run. If he was younger, I might have a different view.

For me, all moves should be towards winning silverware next season.
