This dates back to the days when Dein was at Arsenal too so me now saying bring back Dein means little. Remember Ribery being allowed to leave Arsenal even though everything was there to be signed, completed. Whos at fault?

If Ornstein is right about Arsenal wanting players in 3 positions then they are all looking to go to the final day. DM, AM and CF. Everyone Arsenal are linked with, the quality that is will cost amounts that will smash the clubs transfer record.

You can't wait that long for fellani, his release clause runs out on 15th August, higuain won't cost 38 million either

Can't you see Arsenal allowing the release clause to be run down so they can start offering 10m +50pence clauses at the end causing all kinds of drama.

the Higuain figures are doing my heading, first it was Perez saying no one should come without a 30m euros offer then it was Arsenal wanting to pay between 25-30m euros then theres no bid and now its 38m lol

I'm happy for kolarov to go, and the goal just conceded sums him up

How anyone can call him a defender

Please, PSG have made a mockery of that.

And getting rid of some highly paid players has helped us.

What about Monaco as well as their income can't be that great with the crowds and income they generate.

Yes, I should have mentioned them as well.

French league will struggle, only two teams now, as others seem to have sold their best players.

I find it amusing City spending 100odd m while Arsenal spend sod all. PSG have spent the same amount in nearly 2 seasons as Arsenal have in the past 7 or so years. Im not sure how Monaco will get past the rules if they finish in a Euro spot... may be a slap on the wrist. FFP the saving grace.

Wenger being allowed sanctioned to bid £40 million is the stupidest story ever, way to get a story out of nothing, he was allowed to do that before surely. Nothing has changed. Grrr
