L'Equipe has been peddling an awful lot of nonsense lately and as I said most of the time they are quoting the Sun or the Mail.

We know there's been negotiations because Wenger himself said so. That we haven't moved onto Mahrez (or anyone else) would seem to indicate the club feel a deal can be done, no matter what French sources are saying.
No they aren't. They quoted the Telegraph when they ran the story about the third bid being rejected. That's been the only time.

Exactly what I said, they are quoting english sources while generally they tend to rely on on their own for French news. RMCsport a more reliable source, for instance, has rarely mentioned Lemar trade, while they are well connected with Monaco.
You said most of the time. They've reported on Lemar to Arsenal more than once and have only quoted an English source ONCE. Fair enough if you think RMC is more reliable but let's not pretend this is all pie in the sky coming from the English press. As has also been mentioned Arsène referred to the negotiations in a recent press conference so there is more to it than just media imagination.

Of course, they have quoted English media more than once.
Anyway, there is little doubt that Arsène approched Monaco for Lemar and there little doubt as well that they got a not selling for an answer. It is not like Monaco is holding for more money like they did for Mendy.
Arsenal and us fans can still hope that they may change their posture but there is no sign for now they are planning to do so.

Monaco have a bunch of players who can be used as wingers: Saint-Maximin, Diakhaby, Mboula and Dias. Ghezzal may join aswell, probably to replace either Dias or Saint-Maximin.

League is very weak
Nothing in this story at all now.
If you told me a few months ago that we would spend the whole summer chasing the new Florent Malouda I wouldn't have believed it.

Lol we managed to **** up another summer. Love it. Still got all our dead wood, best players haven't signed contracts, failed to get enough quality in. Lolololol

Seriously, I doubt Wenger ****ed up this summer. I think he wanted Seo, got him. Wanted Mbappé but as soon as he knew he wouldn't know whch was very early Gazidis and the co say sign Lacazette otherwise fans kill you and he did.
I don't care. I just watch it with one eye. No big in comings, no help from outside. Just hope because of that we will see rise of our big talents like Nelson and Maitland-Niles.
Winning league? Doesn't happen investing in the market as Arsenal. Our best bet is nurturing the youth we have now and hope they will be good enough in 5 years.
The likes of Perez, Debuchy and Gibbs etc are what's killing our summer. While they're here there's limits to what we can do.
At least we seem to be learning, isn't Elneny on 'just' 30-40k.

Lemar is a player who augments the play around him, much like Özil and Iwobi. I'm predicting Iwobi to have a good season, so why not find someone who can beat a man, like Alexis does?

Tbh us haggling over a few million is the reason those players are still here. If you price them to sell them, they'll be gone. If they are here when the window closes, its our fault, not there's.

It's because of their high wages. Their price isn't that high but when you add up with the crazy wages they're on the investment isn't worth it.

- That's why I say price them to sell. Its our fault their wages are high so we have to cut their fee accordingly. Gibbs should be sold for £5m, Debuchy £3m, and Perez £10m, we gain £18m and save on wages.

We hired that bald guy from Sky for contract extensions and incoming deals closing, but looks like we need another guy for getting rid of deadwood. We are shambles in this area.

Bald guys are useless
I understand trying to get back as much as possible on someone like Perez. He's still youngish and is one season removed from a very good season with Deportivo. People like Gibbs and Jenkinson should be sold for whatever it takes to get them out of the club. They cost us nothing and the pair of them are probably taking about £7m in wages. Just get rid.

To be fair I said the same thing in another thread.
Football has gone mad, may as well try and become the new Monaco.
