Please get this guy in Jan, he will improve us massively.
Forget the free rubbish get him signed to a 5 year deal in January pay over £40m.
Let's not miss out again over money.

I take it you are not Sheikh Mansour’s financial advisor! ;)

No!

Why give a crap about it,please tell me what the Sheikh will save.
We get him now at a cost but we also have him to strengthen the team massively.

In the summer we pay him the signing on fee that will be the same or near what Arsenal would have got.+we dont have this world class player in this squad for what could be the best season ever.

Live and learn son,live and learn.

Has he issued a 'come and get me plea' to Guardiola yet? Or is the deal about to be hijacked by the rags? Or perhaps Arsenal are proposing a player swap deal?

Been a while since someone “sonned” me, and unfortunately you’re far from qualified. If you think that paying £40M, plus £6M in pay before summer is the equivalent of his signing bonus in the summer, I fear for your finances, and knowledge of football.

£40M was LAST YEAR money. January is more like £15M with add ons, like £2M for FA Cup win, £5M for CL win in 2018, and half that in 2019, etc...

Given the BS Arsenal tried to pull last time, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they WOULD NOT do a deal in January, except at stupid money...and we are all out of that!

Seems a very similar scenario to Rodney. Who'd have thought that getting a player like Rodney would pan out the way it did. I would think that Pep would have played the Rodney game differently, but i can see this upsetting those elements within the squad that have delivered what we have now. He is undoubtedly a world class player, but Pep seems to have a little chapter in his bio that Mark Hughes had with RSC.

Now I agree with this totally, he could have that affect.
I don't think Pep would let it happen and with so many games coming, I think he will be a help rather than anything else.

very strange a team scoring to go 2-1 up in a tight away game and no one really celebrating with the goalscorer.
could it be open knowledge in the arsenal dressing room that we have made contact to sign?

Wenger probably still thinks he's going to sign a new contract.

They're the figures I was thinking about when it all fell through in the summer. Anything substantially more than this and I think we'll wait until summer. The one thing I do want is that this doesn't drag on all through Jan. Get it done early if poss.
