Leicester should say to Man City. £100 million or nothing for mahrez. It's the last day and all City have done is agitate a player if he doesn't move.

The good news is that its a player I already really disklike. So not a player I liked that I have to start hating because they join Arsenal.

Maybe things 'got weird' between us and Aubameyang back in the day because we politely asked him to stop taking topless selfies in the middle of the meeting. Now he's found his spirit animal club.

And it means we're allowed to think Batshuayi's alright again, despite turning us down.

63.75m euros for Auba. Arsenal have sold their top scorers for the past 5yrs in the last 2wks. Have to say though, on paper at least, they look stronger going forward now - at the back though, as last night showed, hilarious.

Funny, I was only saying in here a couple of weeks ago that I was surprised no one had gone in for Mahrez.

I really don’t think ManC is the place for him though, when everyone’s fit, there’s no way he starts and his (lack of) work ethos isn’t a great match for Guardiola. I see career stagnation ahoy a la Bernard Silva.

Got to say fair play to him for putting in a transfer request though. At least he’s honest enough to forgo the bullshit “loyalty payment” even though he knows it won’t make him popular with fans if he doesn’t get the move.

Mahrez strikes me as the kind of player that would quite happily sit on a bench collecting a huge salary.

He's probably getting a bumper wage hike from City so the loyalty bonus is pretty meaningless to him.

I agree but he has earned that too if it happens. Came up from lower leagues with Leicester and propelled them to the most unlikely title ever.

Aubameyang confirmed a arsenal player. They got themselves one hell of a player. Not jealous of course..:cautious:

Javier Tebas president of La Liga tried to get Uefa to investigate City after there transfers this summer. However Uefa did not agree that an investigation was needed. Hopefully this transfer window can get Uefa to do their jobb. FFP is the most toothless hypocritic shit that uefa ever came up with. Bunch of fucking corrupt assholes in the top.

Was torn between an 'agree' rating and an 'optimistic' one. Both hit the mark square on.

A bit desperate

The futures of the three strikers were all inter-connected and Batshuayi is now set to complete a loan move to Dortmund while Giroud will replace the Belgium international at Chelsea in an £18m move.

Batshuayi’s loan to Dortmund was key to the triple deal going ahead and sources in Germany claim that Arsenal had upped the original agreed price by another £1.3m in the past 24 hours

Most players still don't do it though. Walker didn't, he marched in and told Poch he wanted to leave, but still happily took his "loyalty" bonus, despite having his wages doubled by City.

Yep. confirmed.



Mesut Ozil has ended months of speculation over his future by signing a new three-and-a-half-year contract to remain at Arsenal until the summer of 2021.

The 29-year-old playmaker becomes the highest-paid player in the club’s history - earning around £350,000 per week before tax - in a deal completed this morning.

Ozil would have been a free agent at the end of the season and was able to speak to foreign clubs from 1 January, but Arsenal tied him to fresh terms after lengthy negotiations.

An agreement was finally reached last weekend and the Germany international put pen to paper at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground earlier today.

It will potentially see Ozil’s career with the Gunners extend to eight years, having joined from Real Madrid in 2013 for a then club record £42.4m, and take him to the age of 32.

The 2014 World Cup winner has registered 36 goals in 182 appearances and is statistically among the most prolific creators of scoring opportunities in European football.
