Wenger's Transfer Targets: Summer 2017

[nicky47]

2 days then.

I don't see what's going to happen in 2 days that couldn't have happened in 3 months.

2 days? Thought the window closed Thursday night?

 

[El Granit-Coq]

Zero incentive for Asensio to come here. Wishlist stuff.

Not overly disappointed with our ins this season, mostly just our outs. Didn't want Gabriel and Szcesny to go but the club decided they were surplus.

Wanted Chambers and Theo gone but these lot still sticking about. The outs have been disappointing as we still have a lot of deadwood here.

Come on Arsène, give us the gift of Draxler.

We finished 5th, I don't think two ins is good.

Would be nice to have Draxler but not what we need, at all.

Just focus on the spine Wenger, you have Lacazette.. now for CM and CB.

 

[carlito'sway]

Draxler may be on his way out. PSG is trying hard to sell some assets to get Mbappe and Draxler may be sold if they can't find a buyer for ADM. Not to mentio that they are still stuck with Krychowiak and Ben Arfa.

 

[Furious]

We could easily buy small and sell big if we wanted to, we have already done that in the past. But we won't because the current Wenger is not the same as the Wenger of the past.

Nobody liked it when Wenger did it, now he should go back to it?

Would a better comparison be us to Liverpool? No sugar daddy investment yet doing really well selling and reinvesting. Sold Torres and immediately reinvested in Suarez who was later sold for 75m. Even Carroll they got 15m or so back and recouped everything for Benteke. A huge fee for Sterling brought Firminho, Clyne and Benteke.

I do hope we begin to follow this model of selling players and reinvesting it back into the squad as opposed to what use to what happen when we sold big and the money disappeared.

Don't want to sell our best players and reinvest on rubbish like Liverpool.

Krychowiak

Carthouse of a footballer.

Look at the bigger picture. Who will we be signing when Alexis and Özil aren't here next summer? Draxler can play in the 3-4-3 and is miles better than any of our other options outside of Alexis in the 4-3-3. If a good player becomes available i'm of mind that you sign them. Yes we need a CM and a CB but we also need replacements for the two mentioned and improvements on Walcott/Welbeck.

If we don't sign Draxler he could end up at any of the other clubs in the league or europe and then next summer we'll have our tail between our legs trying to find replacements for the players who've left.

 

[JHusMan]

You could assume that Liverpool and United would be in for Draxler as well.

He is quality, and I would be delighted to have him in the side.

My bigger picture however, relates to stabilising the current side so as to keep Alexis and Özil, who are already running and at their peak. From that point we then strengthen the side next season, by bringing in someone like Lemar, etc.

We are constantly chasing, mitigating, rebuilding because our fundamentals are not in place.

 

[JHusMan]

Although wouldn't say no to Draxler and after failed Lemar bids it makes sense to move onto another target in the Lemar bracket which of course Draxler fits into position wise.

That's what Wenger wants so im assuming he'll go for it.

Then hopefully we can shift Mustafi out and get a better CB in. Big ask with 4 days left.

 

[Malky]

I've no faith in the club doing anything at this point.
4 days left, no links, nothing. We're possibly losing Mustafi and OX, yet there is nothing. People talking about us making an 'Özil signing' but when we signed Özil the rumours had already surfaced at this point.
A so called 'top club' doesn't conduct business the way we're doing it. This is a mess.

 

[SA Gunner]

I dont think we need Lemar at all, because we can promote Reiss Nelson.

I'm more concerned about the spend, because we dont just buy at our club.

 

[DanDare]

If Draxler is promising we should go for him. Alexis, Ox and Özil are leaving. And if the £32m is actual price he's a steal

That's if he is any good.

 

[GDeep™]

After the Liverpool game I'm switching off. Tired of trying to figure out, guess etc what's going on with Arsenal.

This is messy, you just watch it play out now, nothing more to be said. The club is a mess on every level, normally you can pinpoint the manager or owner, but here even the scouts and people negotiating deals are ****ing up.

That's because there's no clear vision and strong leadership at the club. If you had that, the rest of the people would tow the line and do their jobs properly. The owner, the board and the manager are all drunk and have 3 different viewpoints and interests.

Nobody is saying sell our best players what I'm saying is that when we sell anyone from Joel Campbell to Mustafi we must reinvest that money back into the team which we haven't done in the past. The Adebayor and Toure out for for only TV5 to come is stuff we cannot do if we want to get ahead.

I think the last big sale we had was RVP and from there we reinvested a significant chunk in Cazorla while not a like for like replacement it is at least reinvesting in quality.

No, don't think Wenger extends if he's not on the same page as Kroenke.
