They sacked him once before,why go back to him? Moyes will do a good job there if they give him a few quid to buy some decent players.
And, we're off.....2016/17

He might not be going to Sunderland but I imagine he's going to another club soon. Why else would you quit Hull so suddenly?

Because the owner is making a right pigs ear of selling the club. No signings and only 10 fit players at present.
Fair point. Didn't realise it had got that bad. Makes Leeds and Blackpool seem well run

Not really

We have been linked with everyone else so why not, would be good if true but who knows.
Supposedly started due to his agent being at the Arsenal Lens game last night, he may also represent one of the Lens players though.

Could be that Mahrez is the most likely to happen?

Looks like Higuain is off to Juventus.

He is to old for Arsenal to pay the numbers talked about there is no way Arsene would pay that much for a 29 year old.

If the figures I've seen on Twitter are true,it's obvious why Arsenal haven't gone in for him.
Crazy money for a player of his age.

Yep that was never gonna happen with Wenger and who can blame him. Higuain is good but at 28/29 you can really only expect 1-2 really good years and he may need time to adjust as well and that's if he does adjust. Some players are just not cut out for the PL.

So on that basis don't bother buying anyone because they might not adapt.
Also 1 or 2 years left at 28/29 imo that's rubbish players look after themselves much better these days.
I read somewhere Arsene is going to spend big trouble is hes happy just qualifying for C/L and never looking like winning the P/L or the C/L and it looks like some fans are happy with that too,what happened to ambition.
At this rate Arsenal will be battling with Liverpool for 7th to 12th

But €94m & €30m in wages over 4yrs (if true) is a hell of a lot of money.
Don't you agree?

No what I mean is if you buy at say 23 then it really doesn't matter if it takes a year to settle because the best years are still ahead. At 29 it's different, can't really afford to wait a season to settle. Yes players are playing a little longer these days and keep themselves in top shape but they will still lose their pace.
Why 7th to 12th when for the past 18 seasons we've managed to finish top 4?
Whatever Wenger does he still achieves that milestone which is tremendous!

Didnt you sell van persie to Man U when over this age, and he helped them win the league.
Granted, he was proven in the prem, which Higuain isnt, but dont buy the age factor at 28.

It is a lot of money however that's the going rate for a good player.
To be honest there is so much money in football at the moment and billionaires use clubs as play things and as long as that continues if you don't pay top dollar you will get left behind.
Man Utd have done well to attract big names even though we are not in the C/L because we will still spend the big money wether on a manager or players.
Look at Liverpool and what they are attracting without C/L and they will continue to fall.
Arsenal have money but are happy with qualification to the C/L every year but if they have ambition to win things they will have to spend big.
