All very quiet on the transfer front eds. is nothing happening at the moment regarding potential transfers, or is it all just the same stuff, I. e. Lemar first choice, we won't meet valuation, so we turn to mahrez.
{Ed002's Note - Nothing happened overnight as far as I know.}

I think we will meet the asking price for Lemar eventually, it's all a bit flat in the run up to the season and we have the money and Arsene and the board need the fans to be full of optimism rather than pesimism going into the season at least.
If we spend and things go badly people will be a lot more understanding for a lot longer than if we are not seen to be trying to improve
I'm pretty sure the club will do what it needs to do to give the Emirates some sort of chance of at least starting the season with excitement.
Difficult to think otherwise really.

Or gunner we can dilly dally and miss out like we normally do, panic and buy another downgrade.

We could Steve but I'm not sure the club really wants to start the season on the back foot with the fans and will do enough to get most on their side come kick off on the 12th mate.
The club could be more than happy to have another season of empty seats and the media mocking but I'm not convinced they are as up for that as some people give them credit for.

The merry go round is just getting started and when the big boys step in we will be thrown off.

That is always a possibility Steve but not the only possibility mate.
Two weeks to kick off and 24 hours in football this time of year can see a lot change let alone 2 weeks mate.
Who knows by Friday Sanchez could be at City Ox at Liverpool and Kos at utd? Don't give up yet Steve mate :-)

Liverpool want lemar also so we better hurry up and agree a fee or he be going there.

I think another reason is we are having trouble moving our dead wood on. The squad could become unbalanced as far as quotas are concerned. I think we will end up loaning them all out again to any takers.

If Liverpool are interested Stephen that can only be a good thing for us mate as it forces our hands and takes away our usual patience in being prepared to wait and wait and wait until finally and only after months of long drawn out speculation and rumours when the club has teased us the player and the entire footballing world,
Absolutely nothing happens :-)
