XHAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

[Jay29]

Expecting Arsenal to officially announce the deal in August sometime.

[RealGunner]

He is getting no 34?

8 would be so much better

[RealGunner]

Thinking about sacking Bould and getting a new assistant manager


Bergkamp?

34 is his favorite. He joked about it a while back that he spoke to Coquelin about taking it way before rumors intensified.

Coquelin #8?

[MJ]

Back in January

"That was my first professional number at Basel. It's even tattooed on my back," Xhaka said.

"I would also like to wear it in the future. It was also here in Gladbach, with Amin Younes. And at Arsenal Coquelin has it.

"I've spoken with him, he would like to take another number!"

yet another Poverty kit by Puma btw

[rwo power]

The German 4-letter tabloid claims it was a 45mio € transfer now. That's pretty much exactly what Max Eberl wanted.

[Chumlum]

The Xhaka saga has reminded me a little bit of, say, Cech and Podolski - rumbles and rumors for months, at first no more credible than any other Internet Bullshit Artist emission, but slowly picking up steam, until finally it just happens.

I do like this quote being attributed to him, from a few months ago: "Any player who doesn't work hard for the team has an issue with me."

[Sina]

Pictures of Granit Xhaka in next season's #Arsenal kit reportedly taken by the player's girlfriend. Understandably, #AFC not very happy.

unreal killer mentality
ruined Arsenal and Puma

[VendettaRed07]

The biggest news out of this is that our socks next season will be red

Thank god

[Sri]

Hopenobody ever takes the #9 and it is permanently retired. Or given to Kroenke.

[MJ]

I like Coquelin with #8. A player who earned his spot in the team and became incredibly underrated this season out of nowhere. Limited, maybe, but effective and good at his role? Yep.

[Sina]

rather #8 remain vacated ffs
we are abusing our 1-11 numbers at times!!

[Peccadillo]

There is no way you can get those players for net spent of 60m

Also, Hummels is going to Bayern.

Hence why I said /Benatia/Martinez. Bayern have some pretty appealing out of favour CB options if/when they sign Hummels. I am not sure how likely it is Badstuber would move to EPL.

I think 60m net is about right.

IN
Xhaka: 30m
Lukaku: 40m
Shaqiri: 20m
Benatia: 15m

OUT
Theo: 20m
Santi/Wilshere: 20m
Debuchy: 5m

Do you disagree with the above?

[Kick]

Xhaka is reportedly 35m pounds. Lukaku will be at least 60m, Benatia is reportedly worth 20m, and I bet Stoke would want more than 20 for Shaqiri.

So you've undervalued the incoming players by at least 30m.

Santi is too old to be worth 20m, too.

[RealGunner]

Oxlade being linked with Leicester

[Jay29]

Ox has two years left on his contract

So a big decision needs to be made about whether to keep faith with him and extend his current deal or sell now for maximum profit.

Alexis and Ozil have only two years left on their deals too iirc. Getting those two signed up would be just as big as a new signing this summer.

[urbaNRoots]

Wenger kept faith with Ramsey, pretty sure he will with Oxlade-Chamberlain.

I'd like to keep him but wouldn't be too upset if we didn't.

[RealGunner]

I'd give him one more year

[EL Patron]

Ox seems to have forgotten how to play football but Arsene did say that he was prepared to stick with him so he will probably be offered a new deal

[Sina]

Il Messaggero claim knowledge of @Arsenal's CB hunt: Kostas Manolas is the priority, Mateo Musacchio the back-up.

===============
I would keep Ox,still believe he will come good

[MJ]

Roma have a financial crisis on their hands. Now would be the time to pounce although Manolas has some boobytraps in that contract IIRC. Something about who owns his playing/selling rights.
