    They have sold to chelsea, liverpool, everton and man utd within the past 6 months. Only man city and tottenham left for arsenal to do deals with. My prediction is wilshere to spurs and bellerín to man city within the next 12 months.

    Giroud will be a terrific signing. At least eight goals by the end of the season.

    Chelsea are going to finish above us due to a scuffed flick of a header and I'm going to cry.

    They’re about to be 11 points ahead, so I doubt that’s going to be the case.

    City making mugs of themselves over Mahrez as well I see. What do they expect? Teams to just give them their players? £95m may sound a lot, but when you factor in 4 or 5 years worth of wages that probably works out at a transfer fee of about £40m-£50m, which doesn't really seem unreasonable (and talk of exchanging players makes it seem even moreso). I suspect they couldn't really say no to Sanchez on financial grounds and then go and spaff more on Mahrez a week later.

    This transfer "package" thing that the media seem to be adopting to inflate numbers needs to stop.

    99% of what the media report on transfers needs to stop, but unfortunately they're just doing what gets clicks and (online) fans are far more hungry for transfers now than results or trophies.

    The 'package' figures are balls anyway when players pay back to the club just to work with 'Pep'.

    Which I've just realised is their new version of when they used to get signings to claim everyone in Manchester was a City fan.

    Man City have pulled out of the Mahrez deal after he's put another transfer request in.

    Wolves have secured jota on a permanent basis. He has been on loan. He has been my player of the season for wolves so far.

    That's the one. It seems I've been stung by the most pointless fake Twitter image ever though. How disappointing, I was looking forward to seeing him again. The most uncoordinated man ever to play a sport professionally.

    We secured the MASSIVE signatures of Lee Camp and Ashley Fletcher after the window had slammed shut last night.

    Both on loan, meaning we have seven of them now, and only five permitted.

    Heh. Mitrovic's last minute loan to Anderlecht fell through as he was in Brussels. So an even later deal to Fulham was made. Rolando Aarons playing in Italy would be something, if he was ever fit to play.

    What can Mahrez possibly moan about? Some chumps have come in 24 hours before the deadline and his team don't want to sell because they can't replace. Shouldn't have signed a contract then should you mate.

    Apparently there was some sort of “gentleman’s agreement” between Mahrez and the chairman in the summer that if they got a £50m+ bid rather than the £30mish enquiries from Roma and others we would sell. However the market has changed and that £50m isn’t his value anymore when Coutinho goes for £140m and Van Dijk £75m so the Kings Of Duty Free have changed the price.

    The general feeling is that the email has been deliberately leaked to try and take away from the fact that we have a wafer thin squad and pissed off most of our alleged transfer targets by not making any serious bids.

    Either way, just another day in the circus that is West Ham.

    Not just the offer but Pardew said last week anyone wanting to buy him needs to give WBA time to find a replacement.

    Theo ‘the Next Henry’ Walcott, actually showing some ability the second he’s left Arsenal.

    Yeah he never scored for Arsenal in his whole career. Walcotts problem was never getting on the end of things, it was doing literally anything else ever.

    Reading the history on aubameyang. He sounds like balotelli's half brother. Wenger does not come across as a manager that can control bad behavuour. Surpirsed he would even go in for a player with his history. Also he has some little teeth that are shapped like monopoly dice which for some reason, freaks me out.

    I just assumed the Aubameyang signing came from the Mislintat, with the knowledge that Wenger is leaving in the summer.

    He scored 7 this season (apparently? that seems high but the Europa is a blur at this point), 19 last season, and I think but am not sure that he scored 21 the year before that, and 25 the year before that.

    300k is what they are giving bug eyes over the next 3 years. He does not justify that salary imo. Yes he has brought arsenal gold trophies since he arrived but they have yet to win any platinums. Second highest wage in the league according to reports. Madness.

    Yep. I think this quote sums up Arsene Wenger:

    Quote Originally Posted by The Guardian

    “Defensive strengthening is a huge problem for everybody. Everybody looks for a defender. You look again at Manchester City – they bought again a defender [Aymeric Laporte]. How much money have they spent on defenders in the last three years?”

    Things have clearly been taken out of his hands, although I'm not buying the idea of this ex-Dortmund mong being the transfer guru that Arsenal Twitter seems to think/hope he is. So far he's brought in some nobody from Panionios (sorry but Greeks - just no), and two players on huge money that he's worked with before. Aubameyang smacks of said transfer mong being desperate to establish himself at the club early on. You wouldn't buy him on top of Lacazette if there was any kind of real strategy.

    He's a defender though. That's like, the only reliable thing we produce. Although going from a mid-table team in the Greek league (with 20 official games to his name) to Arsenal is not how it typically happens.

    It's a pity this won't be true because that would be hilarious.
