Arsenal’s Rodriguez bid response to Alexis joining Man City?

Can James Rodriguez play as CM?
If he can then it will be awesome….
Otherwise I would be Keen on keeping Alexis

Finally the truth comes out.
And it’s an awful one. Sanchez to City, my god! Talk about feeder club mentality.

A for Bellend, If Arsenal accept anything less than 60 million pounds for him, they’re beyond dumb.

James the king and we’re all the true fans trust Wenger’s judgment and have no doubt he james le bron will be a great addition, that suggests that Wenger, at last, has acknowledged that not all the world’s problems can be solved by neat, slight midfielders with nice hair. Arsenal’s May uptick this season felt different to what had gone before because it involved such a radical structural change, such an admission from Wenger that his tactical outlook required modification. The signing of Kolasinac suggests that the process of reform, a return to a more physically aggressive Arsenal, is continuing. Kolasinac too will form part of a solid defensive core and given his age will only get better with each passing year. The best in his position in Germany? For free? I’ll take him. This guy is a 23 year old with five years experience in the Bundesliga, hardly an unknown youngster for the future. We’re looking to offload Gibbs, who’s been treading water for at least a year now, and Kolasinac looks like he fits the bill. It’s basically a zero sum signing, which will have no bearing on the rest of our transfer window. Good to see Wenger finally going back to a focus on recruiting real men who wont wilt or reach for the hairspray when the going gets tough. Mustafi carried some great form coming into the club, the momentum helped by a large portion of Arsenal supporters treating him as a minor saviour, the “finally” answer to years of apparent defensive weakness. But a couple of below-par performances at a time when the mood around the club turned acutely toxic, and he seemed to get dragged down by it all, then got injured. I’m hoping he finds the form he had in Italy again and provides good competition for the middle position. It’s nice for Arsenal to have options worth a damn. There is an unconventional element to Kolašinac, especially going forward. He is an improviser, and difficult to categorise within a single style because he is so capable of changing with one move to the next. There is such variety in every aspect of his attacking play, as his technical ability allows him to provide a range of crosses and in turn act as a goal threat himself at points. His runs are unpredictable, offering width and a narrow threat as the situations call for it, and keeping up with him or getting the ball off him can be most enviable of tasks for opposition defenders. Wenger believes his approach to squad building requires greater skill than buying established players, but is not concerned that his rivals in the Barclays Premier League will try to muscle in on his territory. There are some big ‘ifs’ that need to fall our way in order for us to compete for the title next season. If all these happen, I don’t see why we can’t compete all the way:
1) We renew the big 4 question mark players (Alexis, Ozil, Oxlade and Bellerin). It has to be renewed deals because if Alexis and Ozil stay for their final seasons but doesn’t renew, that will be a massive psychological negative and will scupper our title challenge.
2) Signing 2 of the following 4 players: Lacazette, Turan, M’Bappe and Mahrez to join alongside Kolasinac.
3) Offloading fringe players like Jenkinson (no way we get more than 4 million for him, forget 10 million!), Debuchy etc.
4) Santi Cazorla gets his fitness and confidence back quickly.
5) Further improvement from 2nd year players (Mustafi, Xhaka and Holding)
6) Maybe one or two youthful players breaking through to the first team squad (Nwakali, Malen, Nelson?)That’s a lot of things that need to fall our way in order to compete for the title but right now all of them are a possibility, if not a probability.

IN SIR ARSENE WE TRUST.

Oh man, that’s bad news if we sell yet another player to city. I weren’t too fussed about Clichy, Sagna, Nasri or Adebayor when they went there but I don’t want a quality player such as Sanchez going there.

It’ll be like being stabbed with a double sided blade in the sense that he’s going to drastically and markedly strengthen our opposition and weaken us an secondly just make us look real stupid in many ways.

Despite what we all think we know about football clubs, behind the scenes, I can’t profess to knowing anything other than what I hear or read about second hand. But I’m hoping that the clubs have some sort of sway when selling players and can refuse a particular sale regardless of the players or his agents wishes. Hence, if he goes sell him abroad not locally.

Don’t know who this Rodrigues fella is but I know he’s no Sanchez !
