I'm glad Lucas may get the chance to go home to Coruña. Still absolutely criminal how Wenger has treated him.
They didn't want to keep Ronaldo, from what I remember. He was fat and out of shape and looked finished. He was actually great for AC Milan for that half season tho. Even lost a lot of weight.
Robbie Mustoe just nailed it...says it almost doesn't matter who we buy because "the coach doesn't coach the team to be secure to be a unit defensively." Said the goal we conceded today is so Arsenal. We can "go buy another striker, go and buy another defender, go and buy another wide player because the coaching of that club is not right to be strong enough, to be driven enough to win a title."
70 mill, from City, being reported for Sanchez. I get Wenger standing his ground but if this is a real offer, he's an idiot if he doesn't accept. Look, I get it. We need him this year but Wenger has to be realistic. Even with Sanchez this team, the way it's made up, isn't winning shit. Take the money and reinforce. It's actually quite simple but the stubborn one will screw this up.
At 70 million, i'd sell to a rival. It's not like we were going to win the league anyway in Sanchez's last year. We can get enough of a replacement for that, and for more than 1 year.
City isn't our rival anymore. City and Chelsea are a step above everybody else right now on the field and those two plus Utd are above everybody else financially. Realistically we're in the trio of Arsenal/Liverpool/Spurs, in that order.
Fairly damning...Wenger really has just lost it all. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...r-arsenal-season-young-problem-old-stoke-city
I liked this bit: "Wenger still relies on players who have never been reliable. Maybe they will eventually develop consistency and he will be vindicated. Believing in that requires deep faith."
More on Mustafi... claims I read this morning is that we are willing to sell if A) we find a replacement and B) someone offers 35m GBP. The logic in the rumor is that Mustafi was not 1st choice option when we bought last year and he hasn't bonded with teammates as well as desired. Given the rumors on defenders heading out, I have a feeling we are gonna spend a good amount of time in a 4-2-3-1 again this season.
Please get rid of this guy while we're getting rid of people https://www.google.com/amp/www.dail...p/Jack-Wilshere-sent-playing-Arsenal-23s.html
