Any chance of us making a summer move for Romelu Lukaku. He's publicly stated he wants out in search of champions league football, plus he's also mentioned that he'd love to play club football with his brother who I notice we've been linked with in today's papers. Any info eds?

I think we'd all look him to join us and with the chances we create its difficult to think he would be anything less than a successful signing but he will have lots of options to choose from both in this country and abroad.
We need to give him to reasons to think he will achieve more than just to 4 and CL last 16 if he came to us.
Personally I think we need to show genuine intent to sign 3 top players this summer if we are to convince the likes of Lukaku that Arsenal are their best option for winning the big trophies.

Funnily enough I don't think he's an arsenal type player. he's fast he's powerful and he's an handful but he's not the most gifted technically and does blow hot and cold. If we did go for him great but I think he will end up elsewhere.

I can't see DW OG or TW leaving so I'm not too sure AW will spend big bucks on a forward.
03 Apr 2016 20:38:32
Dont forget Arteta / Rosicky and Flamini will be gone so that leaves a hole, surely he knows a CB is needed, I really can't see us getting a forward as AW thinks we have a lot of fire power.
He will say that DW missed 5-6 months of the season, Sanchez missed 8 weeks, we won't think history will repeat itself so will strengthen elsewher.

I think Theo will be on the move this summer to both raise funds and free up big wages, Theo is probably the highest value assets we have but are prepared to let go, if he misses out on the Euro's he will be desperate to try and make the 2018 squad so might well be up for a move as much as us.
Olly will stay if as long as he's wanted and Danny ain't going anywhere IMO.

I can see og and tw being pushed down the pecking order if they stay because I think we will try to sign a cf. Its not as if they are 19 and can improve.

Not so sure on Lukaku and Arsenal would be a good fit with our style of play but maybe such an alternative is exactly what we need? . Like Steve R says he is very hold and cold and can be unplayable one game and anonymous the next. He would likely cost 40 mill mark and I am not sure that is good value to be honest. For me Someone Like a Cavani would be a better option.

Come on you lot, we are talking about Arsenal here.
Wenger won't spend now we have Iwobi :-)

Olly has been saying ever since he arrived he would welcome competition for his place, he probably knows himself well enough to know he personally needs to be kept on his toes consistantly to produce his best as when's he's fisrt chioce he seems to lose his edge but once dropped seems to rediscover it again.

I don't rate him as much as most people. Kane pisses all over him. Aubamayang or is real Madrid get him let's get benzema. At least they would be some sex tapes knocking about.

Derby - 'pisses all over him', 'sex tapes' - I think you want the R Kelly thread!
We won't sign anyone because we have got the Yaya Sanogo returning to us in the summer :) (the sad thing is i'm only half joking)

Derbys over 16 so r kelly won't be interested.
