i'm excited for Auba to move to Arsenal. if he moves to somewhere outside of England I'll be disappointed. the other options i've heard are Real Madrid and PSG and those are my #2 and 3 most hated teams behind United. i'd rather he just go to China than one of them.

Apparently Wenger promised Auba that he will go on shopping spree this summer lol

Should be interesting.

Sky reports Ozil is about to sign extension and remain Arsenal player.  This is huge.

Sanchez is on 500k per week!

"Chelsea and City are ruining football with their spending!"

Heh... rumors are so much fun this time of year.

Arsenal offered £45M but Bordeaux wants more...  They want way too much money for unproven 20 year old.

Mkhi is taking a medical on Monday per BBC.  Straight swap with no money involved.  Arsenal bid of €60M for Auba was rejected.  Dortmund wants €70M.  Deal should be finalized within days.  Only £6.5M apart lol

Arsenal are trying to sell Welbeck and buy Lucas Moura as his replacement.  Massive exodus at Arsenal.  Complete purge.

KDB just signed an extension to play in City til 2023. Now it's obvious why they dropped the Sanchez deal. You can't pay a new guy 500k per week and then say "Hey, KDB, we want to re-sign you for 200k per week, ok?"

Auba + Mhikatarian > Alexis + Theo

Arsenal will actually have a decent attack. Have no idea what formation they will play.

I assume 4-3-3.

Lacazette-Auba-Mhki 

       Ozil

Xhaka-Wilshere

Looks like Giroud is going to Dortmund on loan with option to buy.  Arsenal are back in market for 1 player to replace Giroud.  Reports it can be Christian Pavon from Argentina.

Has Laca been disappointing this year or is Wenger not utilizing him correctly?

Laca has an awful support.  Him and Alexis didn’t click (if you look at stats, Alexis is not a great passer).  When Laca gets room to shoot, he scores.  Instead of playing striker, Laca found himself playing mostly on a wing or CM.  Laca also played most games with Alexis and Ozil out with supporting cast consistent of Iwobi and Welbeck (awful).  Laca is a very hard working player, excellent passer and great striker but lacks quickness and breakaway speed.  With addition of Auba, Mkhi and return of Ozil, Laca should have way more room to operation.  Even with such a horrible supporting cast, Laca managed to score 9 goals and have almost identical stats to Alvaro Morata who cost £85M and has amazing supporting cast.
