Lets get this thread rolling today, all speculation and criticism is welcome.

As if Juve is even going to think about Pogba. It would take 35mm to get him.

Pay for Kondogbia, IMO. Can play DM or left back or CB in a pinch. He's 20 and French. It's like Arsene porn.

Arsene wouldn't wear pants for a week if we got the trio of:

Kondo
Pogba
Cabaye

we would be the French national team.

I'd offer 35M for Pogba. dude is a star. juve will never sell him. I'd be cool with a 20-25M bid for Kondogbia.

uchida doesn't make sense to me. we need a CB and LB cover. RB isn't really a need atm.

No chance. It would take a spectacular bid for them to even consider.

We have no choice, we must over pay for any help at the moment. Swallow your pride Arsenal, it is a new world.

Yep. And the desperation of Arsenal means that we will over pay and likely get burned.

What? He was awful for both teams. There was one questionable penalty, but Sczesny and Ox both could have been sent off before Kos was. Arsenal didn't lose the game because of the ref, they were awful.

He could have controlled the match better and we might not have had so many injuries.

Or kos wouldn't have been redcarded.

I mean I know how pointless it is to argue with you of all people.. especially on this match but w.e.

he was awful for both teams in that szcz should have been sent off and ox should've gotten the yellow instead of luna, probably (though considering both slid in and neither got anything on the ball, probably was just a no call and an unfortunate way to lose ox for the season).

that said, the lack of yellows on some of your hacking was extremely frustrating. and vlaar should've never lasted the full 90. then kos...ugh.

he wasn't the reason we lost the match, refs extremely rarely are, but he was really awful.

Agreed, his control of the match was very poor. Although the only serious injury was Ox, who has nobody to blame but himself.

Kos' second yellow was a questionable call. So was yellow carding Szcesny, if its a foul and a card why is the card yellow? Gabby didn't kick the ball too far out in front, clear contact and no cover.

Luna, who was clearly fouled by Ox, receiving a yellow card was a joke. I don't think Ox is a dirty player, but he dove way too early and his tackle was awful. I don't think it was a malicious tackle, but he definitely could have seen yellow or red there. Sucks that he got hurt, I was hoping he would have a big year.

All I'm saying is if after watching the performance, ya'll are trying to blame the ref, maybe you should re-evaluate. I've watched Arsenal play long enough to know that was not up to standard. I've always thought Wenger deserves more time, but after listening to his post match interview I really do think maybe he needs a change.
