Arsenal will sell Sanchez if we get £70 million and land Draxler or Mahrez.

According to the Mirror.

I'd rather Mahrez than Draxler.

Mahrez has that PL experience.

So apparently the Spanish deadline isn't until Friday. Does this mean they can still buy from England?

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the gooners:

I'd have both, just to see Wenger destroy both their careers by playing them out of position lol

I think Mahrez woukd make a great Arsenal CB, that signing would give them more strength and depth in that position for sure.

I still think there is time for Wenger to surprise everyone and make the biggest signing of the summer......Fellaini

Not just us but the last 4 or 5 deadline days have been bloody boring all round. Tomorrow's going to be manic and I'll be out most of the day!

Absolutely correct, this is going to be the best transfer night for years, this may well be the year where Jim White finally spontaneously combusts on live tv !

Watch us all be disappointed we'll excluding arsenal fans they are all ready writing season off

Tombstone · 30 Aug 2017 at 23:42

I just hope they bring back having the reporters stood outside of the stadiums/grounds, used to love that on transfer night

They've abandoned that since 'youths' in the background started waving 'marital aids' around in the background or holding up stupid signs. As usual the few spoiled it for the many.

BaZ87 · 30 Aug 2017 at 23:45

Spoiled it? That was the best part of the crowds outside training grounds

How is a few youths having a bit of a laugh spoiling it? People being way too over-sensitive, way too serious and way too up-tight these days is what spoils things. It's almost as if any sort of fun has been outlawed.

Pretty disappointed that we're not getting Ox as well as Drinkwater because we need some English players for our quota and he's half decent so may have played the odd cup game.
That probably means that we'll end up with Barkley instead which doesn't really matter as none of the 3 are good enough anyway for our first team and are only on the radar due to their nationality.
If Ox wants to be first choice somewhere it's not at Chelsea at the moment certainly not at RWB as no-one is better than Vic.

Sigh, I have no idea what Wenger's plan is, is there even one? Gibbs, Jenkinson, Gabriel and Mustafi gone, 1 bought. Defense is our weakest area already. No DM purchased yet again. Sanchez looks to be gone. Ox I don't mind leaving as he's not good enough to start for the top 6 or so teams but considering everyone else that left we're scratching the barrel to fill our squad now. I don't think we'll buy anyone else either. Worrying times ahead.

When did mustafi leave?

Because waving a massive substitute penis around at 7pm on national TV is highly likely to get them into trouble with the industry regulator and could lead to fines of £100k or over?

Sorry agree that it's people being over sensitive and if people are offended by a penis drawing or a word on a sign.

Far worse things in the world
