The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

Does it really matter at this point? We have actually gotten worse with Sanchez. He is not the type of player you build a team around. Not arsed if both him and Ozil bugger off. Wenger will still be in charge and it ultimately means fuck all.
Not actually Sanchez fault that we have got worse, he is easily our best player. Hate to disagree but he is exactly the sort of player we should build the team around.

Does amaze me when people say they don't care if he leaves....
Agreed 100%. Sanchez and Ozil are the ONLY two world class players we've had in the last 5 years or so. One is a superb technician with true vision and the other an absolute powerhouse with world class skill, hunger and drive. Fucking ludicrous to say Sanchez is not the type of player to build a team around - he is exactly the type. A top modern manager would build a team around Sanchez and Ozil easily - put a top striker in there to feed off Ozil and link with Sanchez and add a couple of top midfielders and defenders.

Sanchez had a dip in form last season and no fucking wonder - he's had about two weeks off in the last 3 or 4 years and is trying to play top level football with only one other bloke on his team that can really think and operate at that level. The frustration must be fucking draining for him. :|

Lacazette is odds on now to become an Arsenal player, I have seen bookies quoting 4/10 or less. He is a much better option up front than Giroud, can finish with his left and right foot both inside and outside the box. He also takes a mean penalty. How many times have we seen our players miss penalties in recent seasons. Personally I would take him in a heartbeat he is like a modern day Ian Wright. If we can keep Ozil, Lacazette will score for fun in the PL.
Yes he has some pace as well, which Giroud badly lacks, although Giroud scored a hatful of goals in the French league

Yeah an upgrade but not a world beater and if we the loose Sanchez it will be a disaster
All that bookies odds stuff is shite, was same with Higuain, big assumption being made that he will sign, despite no one else apparently being interested
Wenger offering £44 million and they want £57 million

Latest on Lacazette from Lyon President...

Speaking to Canal+, Aulas said: "I do not think that Alexandre Lacazette will leave this summer."

Even a 1-12 odds on shot can loose

Lacazette does not want to join us. He wants to sign for A Madrid. Actually not many good players want to sign for us. Last season was Toxic and players are put off.
We are no longer a good option for players. Thanks Wenger

Usually I'd agree with that but with these modern mercenary bastard players? I reckon you can sign anyone you want if you pay them enough. They don't care that much about medals or trophies, just the money. Sure, they'd like to win a few medals, but not at the expense of that extra few million quid... :x :censored:
