I'd be fairly irritated right now were I a gooner realising my best player had been missing match days & training because he was busy learning 'Glory, glory Man Utd' on the piano.
It has always been his dream according to a Chilean teammate (who wanted to remain anon). So he may well have learned it a long time ago.

Pires i think said something similar.
Read something this morning that [current] players well-wished Le Coq and Theo as they bid farewell; nothing/nobody for Sanchez. I'm sure if this isn't true, something will surface soon enough.

So with that saga finally at an end, where do we go from here?

Could this Mkhi chap do a similar deep-lying playmaker role to what Cazorla did before his ankle got zombified?

We haven't committed to the 3-4-3 formation adopted at the tail end of last season, and I think it's clear Wenger prefers 4-2-3-1. We played our best football with Cazorla pulling the strings in the middle, and we haven't got anybody as calm and confident on the ball in really tight pressing situations.

To be honest, I'm picking at straws here as it's difficult to see the overall plan in this...

Aubameyang will be interesting providing Gazidis doesn't fk it up.

We do need reinforcing defensively. Time will tell what the unknown Bubble from the unheard of club will be like.

If Juan Mata hate Mourinho he must do now.

Indeed. I was actually starting to think the new recruits were actually starting to make a difference, however the handling of the whole Malcom situation seemed farcical.

Problem i have is believing anything the club now put out? or leak to the press? Keowns ridiculous article about Sanchez being the biggest mercenary was disgusting.

hehe

It was a good performance tonight, Monreal was fantastic again. It's amazing what happens when you play a left back at left back eh? There was real spine to the team tonight in the way they defended and Wenger deserves credit for seemingly making the right organisational changes at half time. Sure, the goals were lucky, but I'll take it anyway. When you work hard you make your own luck.

Iwobi had a decent game. Took the ball off Moses quite a bit which was pleasing to watch.

Always good to beat Chelsea, even better to reach a final when you do.

Monreal is just a fantastic player....a bit like Silva or Lauren who were both hugely under rated and only in retrospect do we appreciate how good they were.

BD value(d) Aubameyang at £75m.

Arsenal offered 50m. BD say they'll take 60... so Arsenal upped their off to...








£50.9m.







I can't see this deal coming off and wouldn't blame BD for walking away from all negotiations.

Meanwhile Mahrez was spotted at Emirates last night.

Does that sound likely? Regardless of how incompetent you think Arsenal are, do you really think they'd up their offer by £900,000?

That's not incompetence, that's thinking they'd be doing enough to satisfy a legal clause in Suarez' contract.
