This is a good point, something I hadn't thought about. I hope you're right.
Stay tuned I'm sure he will tell you absolutely nothing again later
Lacazette would be a huge improvement on Giroud and Welback. If only Arsenal could keep Sanchez and Ozil, their attack would be as good as any in the league.
Not heard any speculation about him recentlyI don't normally post here, but this window has been a little boring. Where are all the bullshit rumours? Gaitan, where art thou?
Everyone uses Arsenal to see what the minimum baseline fee they can is so they can get the usual suspects to outbid them. They are a back up plan or are just used to test the waters.
But, Mbappé?
You will get Mbappé. Just a bigger, rougher, bearded, Benteke-Walcott love-child version of him...called Lacazette.
Haha spot on. As you say, impossible to know if they were ever in the race, but this would certainly be the end of that speculation.
He's right - he could be tempted away from Monaco. Just not by Arsenal.
Boring???
Where have you been? You've been missing all the exciting jokes mate!
Mbappe to Arsenal (hahahaha, still laughing here), Liverpool bidding for Mbappe, Ronaldo threatening to walk out of Madrid and United buying him for 250 million bucks plus De Gea, Griezemann heading to United, and then not heading to United again, Lukaku for 100 million, Bellotti for 90 million, Bale to United, Neymar to United, Chelsea and United for Lewandowski, Perisic for 50 million bucks, Wayne Rooney back in training to launch an assault on next season, United for Andre Gomez, United for Fabinho, even Anderson Telisca falling in love with Jose, Conte quitting Chelsea, Di Maria heading to jail with Jose, Bakayoko to Chelsea, Matic to United, Dier for 50 million, Dembele liking Lindelof's tweets, Morata getting married, Dermien getting married, and a thousand others.
How would we know he's not good enough without seeing him on loan against better opposition than reserve players. We did that with Welbeck and Evans and they proved themselves as Premier League quality players.
Aye it's the summer of love. 50 years after the last one.
There is just no way in hell they are signing Mbappe. Firstly they wont spend 130m on a 18 year old. Then three years down the road during his Madrid stint, Arsene will come out and say how fecking close he was to signing him.
I'd rather we go after Lacazette instead of Morata.
Playing devils advocate a bit here, but I can understand why journos put disclaimers in their tweets now, with the way people jump all over them if they're wrong or things change.
The problem they have is that I'm sure things can change pretty quickly and I bet clubs give misinformation to try to play games with other clubs etc. In this case, if Matic is a target, he could agree terms next week and the journo would look daft. If he's genuinely been told that we haven't agreed terms then I'd rather hear it than not.
Would make too much sense. So we won't.
It's almost as if Wenger is chatting shit when he thinks Mbappe would go to Arsenal.
Morata definitely fits the Mourinho profile better than Lacazette though.
Is it just me, or is Lacazette over rated? He'll score goals sure, but he isn't a player I'm disappointed about missing out on at all.
Me too, I dont understand why we seemingly arent in for him. Lacazette, Fabinio and Douglas Costa are all on the market and would improve us in areas that we need it most.
Instead all Im hearing about is Perisic and Dier, I really hope those dont happen
I think you misunderstood on 2 counts:
1. But a few hours ago the talk was of Mbappé to Arse.
2. I am not a fecking arse!
Shit loads of journalists and twitter users are on the banned list.
Can you see how many fingers I am holding up...?
Feck we seem to all be scratching around for chicken feed here. The silence is deafening
1. Yeah I was aware of the Mbappé to Arsenal chat. I'm gutted for you guys, I really am, but you never know, you might still get him! *conceals smirk*
2. Indeed not.
We seem to be pursuing deals for Perisic, Morata and Matic.
I think there will be at least 1 "wtf" signing
You may well be right. I'm sure that following the Griezmann disappointment, Woodward will be desperate to get a big name in before the window shuts - that would likely be in the form of a mega-bucks deal for Bale/James or similar late in the window, but is probably a low-probability outcome due to the difficulty inherent in those kind of transfers.
not exactly world class players that we need
Careful, you'll be hit by the barrage of posts telling you how amazing these players will be in the 'system'. At the level we want to reach we need world class players/top young talent.
Yawn... boring.
I still think that Madrid will dangle the player/s until the last possible minute to feck up our chances of getting our backup plan and then say "sorry no sale".
I think Woodward has learnt and also Jose is well aware of Madrids antics having managed there and dealing with Perez and also having Mendez as the main man for high level signings and being his client
