    Hopefully it isn't another Suarez.

    The player wants to leave.
    The club want him to leave.

    Just pay the bloody money.

And we're pissing around lowballing on the player supposed to be replacing him? A player that could make a 30 million quid difference if he shoots us into the CL placings. Not to mention those 71 - 166 quid shirt sales that will bite a chunk out of any excess we have to pay.

    Plenty of history of us refusing to go the extra few million based on Wenger's retarded "value" judgements. Like the 7 mill quid we wouldn't pay to Mbappe's agent to get that player here for peanuts. How did that "prudence" work out for us?

    No problem with restraint or reluctance when it comes to ticket prices, of course.

    These days it's nothing, like you said look at what we got for Sanchez who was as good as worth nothing, we've already got more than this guys fee in transfer money alone yet we're hallging over a few million, pretty embarrassing really, if this was a one off then fine, trouble is this happens everytime and most of the time it ends in failure. If we signed Aubameyang and he won us a few matches and won us some points he'd pay back his fee alone, that's even ignoring the shirt sales and marketing money from this deal.

    This club never sees the bigger picture though, it's full of small minded people who don't know what it is to be a big club, or indeed what it takes, they think top 4 every year makes you a big club, it doesn't it make you big losers. Just look at the revenue of the clubs that succeed and how it rises with their successes, not hard to see what winning means, more money in the bank, so it would be win win for all of them, there is of course a risk, but these guys are so attached to their money they don't want to risk any of it.

    Honestly don't understand why this club is worth as much as it is, it's a club for losers and it's not great for brands to be associated with losers, they'll sell more if they are linked to success.

    With the TV money now they're swimming in money. You'd think they wouldn't care about a few extra million and prefer to get it over the line, get him in the team and help us get 3 points in our next game.

    Better than him not being bothered, I suppose.

    Ho many players that have been linked with us have spent days on the phone asking, "Anything yet, FFS!?"

    The Sun seem to think that Giroud's wife is holding up the deal as they try to convince her to move to germany

    Bild also reporting that we are planning to tie the deal up soon so that he can make his debut against Swansea on Tuesday.

    Silly cow. It’s her husband who’s bringing in the millions, she shouldn’t even factor in the equation tbh.

    I know, that's what I thought.

    He should give her a few slaps - is that sexist?

    I might tweet Phil Neville or Stan Collymore for clarification

    She's not saying anything every other WAG doesn't. It's Giroud's job to find his testicles and get the hell on.

    I don't expect Arsenal to begin with their top offer....but let's tie this up already.
