Rumours saying icardi is now a target for Napoli. If we're interested best act soon.

I've just read about that, I'm hoping wenger has a trick up his sleeve because the window is starting to pick up pace and we're going to be left picking the unwanteds.

I think we need these dominoes to fall before we can make our move. Clubs won't want to give up a key player without a replacement lined up.
We are a big club but just have to let the bigger clubs eat first before we can truly get our players.

D16 - were we ever interested in him or were we being used by an agent.
Will be good to get iCardi and Higuain done and dusted so we can sort out pptions out.

Valid point SY.

SY4 you never really know do you!

for higuain its the transfer fee, for icardi its the salary demands. yes i get it. but when it came to walcott we gave in, rather than say, sell him and buy a player who would have made that difference.
with sanchez and ozil i'm sure they are baulking at the salary only to have them walk out on us next season with a year to go.

Laker I never looked at it that way. It's ok for Theo to make such absurd demands. What's he on 140k?
26 Jul 2016 11:31:30
its not about the absurd demands, he has been with us 10 years and what exactly has he proven? scores in a few big games he is a big game striker?
he has been dead average for the past 4 years because he was too young before that. so now he is in his peak and i don't think he can get any better, he just does not think about position.
if we counter yes he is brilliant, but how many times do we play barcelona and bayern and madrid to rely on that?
i like how liverpool have sold players who they feel don't fit into their model. ibe gone, . perhaps a bit early but to win you need to make ruthless decisions.
here we are hanging onto anything of any value and taking up squad positions and detrimental to the progress of the club.
giroud, walcott, gibbs, mertesacker, sczesny, i mean getting them off the payroll itself should be a priority.
we kept flamini and arteta until they could no longer play are we serious about winning or creating an old age home?
people are losing their heads over the fact that arteta unfollowed arsenal or still harping on about van persie and look how far he has fallen or cesc that he does not look happy at chelsea. i don't give a crap about these guys. not one bit. you think they are thinking of the fans while they spend 100 pounds on toilet paper?
they have gone deal with it. we are stuck celebrating rubbish. we should be celebrating competetive edge in football and winning and losing gracefully against clubs not about keeping players hoping they have one good season and then feeling like these players have arsenal in them when they leave.
