    Barnes. I think that's my favourite yet.

    Craig Mackail-Smith to Real Madrid next.

    You laugh now to mask your fear, because you know Glenn Murray will be next.

    Heh heh. The Guardian's "10 things to look out for this weekend" included Murray's 'audition' yesterday. I took it as tongue in cheek but perhaps they were serious.

    Chelsea would be as well sticking Gary Cahill or David Luiz up front, if that's really the way they want to play, rather than most of these mugs they are being linked with.

    What's Carlton Cole up to these days? The prodigal son returns.

    Some are saying it's all a smokescreen for Edin Dzeko, but I'm not sure about that.

    You’re getting him and the full back by sounds of it. Dzeko would suit the formation really well. The video of Totti and Dzeko yesterday confirms something’s happening.

    I’m massively pissed off with Wenger, Gazidis, the players, the whole fucking lot. But, I don’t see why people are criticising this deal from an Arsenal perspective.

    Had Sanchez had more than 6 months left of his contract, then fair enough, but to me we’ve signed the kind of profile of player we’d have spent £30m+ on in the summer in exchange for a guy with 6 months left, no appetite to play for the club and no intention of staying beyond the end of that contract. It’s actually as good a deal as we could have got, and if we link Mikita up with his old mate from Dortmund by sealing the Aubameyang deal then it might look an even better bit of business. Three years too late, but still decent business.

    I think it's a decent deal as well but ALEXIS FOR MKHI STRAIT SWOP? HAHA LOL UNITED UNITED

    Arsenal have had the better if anything as they've just written off a future transfer fee versus the difference between Sanchez and Mkhitaryan's output between now and May, which won't be that big if there even is one.

    United, on the other hand, have sacrificed the fee for Mkhitaryan and massively increased their wage bill, so they'd better hope Sanchez is good.

    What are they going to do with all that money, rebuild the Colosseum? Good to know we've returned to the good old days of buying people who do well against us in Europe though.

    It suits both teams, but 1) 'Alexis' is miles better; and 2) lol at Arsenal for letting it get to this stage.

    This is just the first part. Ozil is in the exact same situation. It should never have got to the stage once, but it has happened twice.

    He's got a player of equivalent value for Sanchez and literally no club apart from a bunch of Turks have come in for Ozil. I'm not sure what's expected of poor Arsene at this point.

    And I wouldnt get too excited about those dortmund boys either. Dortmund players do not seem to do well once they leave and end up being accepted back their with open arms a few years later.

    Point 2 applies to just about everything about the club for some time. I’m of a mind to say that many of us (I’m one of the worst cases) were pious apologists of Wengerism for so long only has only exacerbated it. But on further reflection I don’t think it makes a blind bit of difference and instead only serves to make us the fans look as big a bunch of pricks as we’ve always accused Spuds of being.

    Interesting statistical piece about 'BIG MEN' and the dwindling nature and quality of crosses in the Guardian today.

    That may be so but we have Davide Zappacosta and he delivers crosses even better than he delivers two coffees and a panini to my table in Piazza San Marco in about 15 years' time.

    GPG was 2.68 at last count, that doesn't seem to really change no matter what tactical trends are in and out.

    Arsenal haven't got between 70-75 points twice in the last 10 years (68 once and 79 once). It doesn't matter who comes in, who comes out. Nothings changing that outside of a change of manager which could go either way and is more likely to go to 68 than 79.

    That's the genius of Arsene Wenger. Watch them roar past Spurs in the next three months.

    German tabs reporting that we're going player exchange crazy.

    Aubameyang's done, Giroud will join Dortmund for 6 months while they find a long term replacement and he gets to play for his World Cup spot.

    To put the ‘HAHA ARSENAL ARE TERRIBLE LETTING ÖZIL AND ALEXIS RUN THEIR CONTRACTS DOWN’ lulz in perspective, Mata can leave United on a free this year. He’d be worth £50m in this market I reckon?

    Didn't they extended his contract the other week? Not that he is worth that much.

    Add Mata in and that Chelsea dressing room is just far too nice. You'd let 90% of the team date your daughter at this point. 5 years ago that was unthinkable.

    Rumours today Valencia are interested in him on a free this summer. He’s 29 and brings far more to a team than £20m rated Theo Walcott.

    There's absolutely zero possibility he leaves for free this Summer. It's the entire reason why we have these 4+1 contracts.

    Yeah, the club has an option to extend Mata's contract for a further year. The rumour was it was triggered the other week.

    Is it? The guys is a fucking lighthouse, he doesn't have to jump that high.


    Of course he's not as good as Henrik Larsson was who could stay mid-air for a few seconds and wait for the ball, because he knew how the Matrix worked or something.

    I believe the old stat was that Peter Crouch standing up straight is taller than Peter Crouch jumping for the ball because of how he has to arc his body to get lift.

    Need a physical striker, need homegrown players, and the cross-section in that Venn diagram is this list of mugs.

    They're all significantly better than Batshuayi anyway tbh.

    La Liga (note not the clubs) have just signed 9 Saudi's and will be distributing them to the clubs in the league.

    This is DEFINITELY NOT CORRUPT. There are DEFINITELY NO PAYMENTS tied to this. This is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to them getting annoyed about Qatar stealing Neymar.
