Have Arsenal actually been linked, even in passing, with anyone that could possibly be considered a midfielder?

The 350k per week is what sunk his deal with Bayern in the offseason I believe as well.

blue footed boobie posted:Yeah, the midfield is an absolute mess. None of their current midfielders seem suited to playing in a two man midfield, and it is A Problem. Arsene hasn't had this since Vieira/Petit or Vieira/Gilberto and the list of players that can function well in a 2 man midfield is exceptionally short.

Lot 49 posted:0Sanchez did a post on instagram where he pointedly thanks everyone who works at Arsenal except Wenger. Also seems to imply that Henry told him to leave which is pretty lol. Henry has been been pretty critical of Wenger especially after Wenger told him to choose between doing his badges/youth team coaching or punditry (unsurprisingly Henry chose the punditry). Basically Wenger should have never been retained after winning the FA cup against Hull. But, since Arsenal are a fail and poorly operated club he was because they had zero plans in place to make any transition. Since then they've retained him again and only this year started to build a structure where he could be more easily replaced. As for Alexis...it is hard to say how much was a failing of the club to not retain the player or the manager or the player not wanting to stay (why would he?). Really the biggest loving fail from this club was the year Leicester City won the league and Arsenal signed loving no one in the summer nor January. With all of that BS said (and nice meltdown) flipping Sanchez into Mkhitaryan is probably the best the club could do. Getting $35 million for Sanchez doesn't really do any good when no one knows who or what the gently caress they're trying to sign and since they turned a soon to be non-player into another player that they were after before is decent enough I guess. It really doesn't change the fact that they're still the 6th best team in the league and adding Aubameyang probably doesn't change that either. Sanchez makes Utd better without a doubt, but it doesn't address the fact that DdG is the only reason they are where they are right now and if he regresses or leaves the Mourinho meltdown will be in full swing.

I think the funniest part of Arsenal trying to purchase Aubameyang is that it (likely) has nothing to do with Wenger lowballing the bid, but Arsenal as a club doing it. They sent Ivan Gazadis, their brand new lawyer contract guy, and their new head of recruitment to go sign him. And thus far managed to do gently caress all other than piss Dortmund off and somehow get Aubameyang to maybe apologize and go back to training with the first team.

It's going to own when Arsenal either fail hilariously on this deal OR they pull it off *maybe* get Ozil to sign a contract AND still can't score goals because their midfield are complete wastemen, the team continues to ship goals because they aren't drilled on how to defend properly/can't be bothered to do so, AND Cech continues to be past it. Moral of the story is that Gazidis, the new contract guru, and their head of recruitment have gotten rid of 2 of Wengy's old toys in Coq and Walcott and managed to bring in 1 player player with maybe a 2nd coming as well that excel at counter attacking football....something that Arsenal rarely have the chance to take advantage of because they can't break down teams that pack 10 players around the box. So honestly signing Auba will likely not change anything.
