According to ESPN, PSG do not want to pay #Arsenal's £35m valuation of Mattéo Guendouzi but could offer Julian Draxler or Idrissa Gueye in a player-plus-cash deal if they push forward on their interest. https://t.co/k7T1nckgit
I'd be happy signing him over partey and using the funds to buy Aouar
Exclusive – Emi Martinez out of Arsenal squad to face Fulham so Bernd Leno starts. Brighton have joined Villa in the running and currently have the bigger bid. Transfer talks ongoing. Full story: https://t.co/WWuHsNkPaO #AFC
Looks like we won't get to find out .
For me Martinez is better with the playing out from the back , has better handling and is just as good at shot stopping . Ithink selling him will be a great mistake.
I will be gutted if Martinez goes.
Has clearly proved he is a better keeper than Leno
Same here.The last time we sold a goalkeeper(Jimmy Rimmer) to villa they went on to win the league and the European cup.
How has he clearly proved he's the better keeper.
He has had a good run of games but hasn't shown what he can do over a full season with everything back to normal.
Even almunia has had decent run of games
Because, you ungrateful b.astard. he has had 15 very good performances in the 10 years he has been with us
Clearly I jest - I understand why some fans want to stick with him over Leno (even though I dont agree) cos he has had a good run since Leno got injured, but this outrage about Leno being picked ahead of him is, in my opinion at least, way ott. In my opinion there is very little between Leno and the martinez of the last 6 months, but to hang your hat on a keeper who in 10 years with us has turned in 15 good performances is very risky, and tbh because we need the money I would be opting to sell him no question

I think the vast majority of Arsenal fans know Leno is a very good goalkeeper and feel comfortable with him in goal .I don't think Martinez is a 15 game wonder as at Reading on loan the fans loved him and he has continued that form with us.To be honest if a club has two very good goalkeeper s and one says play me or lose me then the choice has been made for for Arteta but we could at least offer him a better contract then Villa are offering him and if that is not enough sell him for a lot more then 20 million as he could the difference that stops them going down.
Signing Aoaur ahead of Partey would be a mistake IMO.
The CDM position has been a weak point of our team for years, now we have two decent prospects at CB, they deserve the defensive shield they need to thrive and prosper under the new regime. If we sort out the spine this year then I expect an improved league position, fewer goals conceded and more scored.
