Yet all these clubs would expect us to pay stupid prices for there players if we were interested in someone , so why should we sell our players for low prices to them?

Because Gibbs is not worth a penny over £10m. He is a very limited player.

Anyone think that we've folded our in-coming transfer activities for the summer? Unless we sell Alexis, I think this is it.

I think we are still sniffing around Lemar. Monaco have named a price of 55 mil and we could do a deal for 50 thereby not breaking our transfer record a second time. Then offload Ox etc. and mitigate the damage. Rafinha is also possible. With Cazorla and jack gone, we need a backup for Ozil and Ramsey.
Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

gibbs and jenkinson has refused to leave by the looks of it. It explains a lot of the characters we have in our club. Both happy to enjoy the london life instead of making a career for themselves

They're too good for him. He's not even Championship level, let alone Serie A

I wonder if our transfer business has halted because like the spreadsheet merchants we are, we haven't shifted anyone out yet.

I bet they're acutely aware that we are at limit for foreign players and haven't recouped anything on squad sales, so are holding off until we do.

The only thing making me think this, is that it would put us into a weaker negotiating position for a foreign player if other clubs knew we had to get rid.

Ie you have to sell, so take it or leave it.

Probs not and it's just simply that we've done our business already but I'm hoping we can still see sense in getting in a proper playmaker CM to fill the gap that an injured Santi and a non existent Wilshere are supposed to provide...

If we can get rid of Wilshere, Gibbs, Jenkinson and Debuchy, I think we'll get bodies in. We'll have to.

Had a feeling for a few weeks now that our business is done, bar selling Alexis, especially now we are entering August.

If we sell Alexis, we get two in

Personally think selling him is the best course of option possible

I'm genuinely not so sure. Hope to God I'm wrong but I'm starting to get the feeling we will be hearing 'we aren't close to anyone' from Wenger for the next month.

Issue is so similar to when we had Lord, Chamakh, Djourou, Denilson etc on our books all on 60-70k a week. Paying bang average players top dollar and then acting bemused when we can't offload them.

And now:

Walcott - 140k a week
Gibbs - 70k a week
Debuchy - 80k a week
Lucas 70k a week
Giroud 100k a week


Absolute dross on huge wages which no club which realistically is going to want these pubbers is willing to pay. The result it we're forced to drop our asking price like we did with Chez to Juve.
