And, we're off.....2016/17

What if he's motivated by winning the league title or the champions league. Would he choose Arsenal or would he choose Man City, Chelsea or Man Utd? But no doubt if he went to one of them you would say it's because of money.

I'm not resigned to losing Sanchez yet, Mahrez would be an excellent addition to the squad and if he's not movitated completely by cash then we have a chance of landing him.

What about if he picks Chelse etc because he wants to win the league again?

But do you see another attacking mid as a priority signing ?

 

[Piece]

Could be wrong but I think that Mahrez will get a big club transfer and quickly disappear without trace.

I see Barcelona have appointed a new manager, is it pochetino?

Yeah probably, we will probably lose 1-2 and Mahrez is quality.

Still buy a keeper, striker and anything else that Wenger thinks is needed. When players like Mahrez come available most of the top teams will be interested.

I'm not so sure about that - don't see many bidding wars for him , right now he has had one good season and last summer big teams weren't trying to tempt him away with big bids

That's good news no competition👍

He showed what he is capable of year before last and that's good enough for me. A good age and can get even better.

Apparently not https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/29/barcelona-ernesto-valverde-new-manager

Valverde who left Bilbao last week. Another former player.

Would that not say something if other top teams aren't looking at him ?

Is he the marquee signing that would make a difference ?

When you look at the players linked to Arsenal over the years - Draxler , Higuain two specific players - they are clear marquee top of the tree players that can move a club up a level - is Mahrez that player ?

BREAKING: Sky sources report that Arsenal have agreed a £6.8m fee to sign striker Henry Onyekuru from Belgian side KAS Eupen .

Who? 🤔

One player like Mahrez and a change of system can work wonders. Look how that transformed Chelsea last year with the addition of Kante.

But I expect 3 signings this summer and I know either Lacazette and Mbappe are on the striker list but doubt Arsenal could compete . Maybe a move for Joe Hart is also on the cards too. Wenger will likely sign quality players that are ready for inclusion into the squad as quickly as possible. He probably only has 2 seasons to win the league or CL before he hangs up his Le Duvet.

Is Cech declining?

Heard an arsenal fan on the radio supporting Wenger and saying for the first time in 20 years he'd failed by a couple of points.

Think that highlights the problem at the club nowadays. Focus should be on the 18 points behind Chelsea we ended up, not the 1 behind Liverpool.

Not sure I can see Sanchez staying to play for 4th and the Europa League. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[sawtooth]

Is Cech declining?

Supposedly but I don't see it, not even that old really. Ospina might be going and that will force the issue.

I would have Schnezy back from Roma he's done pretty well out there by all accounts.

You have Cech who is still one of the best in the league why waste money on another keeper ?

If you think that Arsenal have any hope of getting someone like Mbappe then you are dreaming.

Do you really think Wenger is going to change his system ?!

He already has changed it.

Wenger has been tracking Mbappe and enquired about him long before he became a household name but I agree I think he will go to Madrid or Barcelona.

Ospina could be off and every team needs 2 quality goalkeepers. Personally I would take Schnezy back from loan and spend the money elsewhere.

He actually has only ONE year to win the CL because he's not in it next season.
