We didn't sell Sagna. His contract ran out and he signed for City instead. Arsenal chose not to give him the offer he wanted and he went to a club prepared to pay him good money.
Regarding the other players, if they don't want to play for us, it will unsettle the team and the dressing room, as well as the fans. There's no point keeping them on the bench, might as well sell them for money. I think Wenger has been spot on with all the sales (except he should have sold Van Persie to a different team). I'm also glad he did not exercise his right to re-sign Fabregas as that would have definitely upset a few people on the team, and prevents the 'problem' re-occuring. Letting Chelsea have Fabregas (for cheap!) was also incredibly stupid. Chelsea won the title almost the moment Fabregas signed with them. Sanchez was an amazing buy and carried Arsenal to 3rd (although his hard work was undone several times by poor defending at least in the first half of the season). Without Sanchez Arsenal would be in big trouble. |

AFAIK Cesc wanted to come back but we said no. It feels weird no doubt and hurts, but what was the guy supposed to do?

Arsenal have reportedly agreed terms to sign Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal for £25m. He has the same agent as Alexis Sanchez.
Does that mean Arsenal have lost interest in Morgan Schneiderlin? Morgan said ' If I leave Southampton it will be for a club in the Champions League.’ I presume he means Arsenal. Personally I hope Schneiderlin stays at Southampton. |

Can't believe some are still going on about Fabregas. Forget him, he left Arsenal years ago, end off! Would we have won the title with him?...I seriously doubt it. He's a snidey toss pot. Chelsea and him are welcome to each other.

Rumours gathering pace now. Good signing if true
![]() Still leaves us short of a 25-goal a season striker, Giroud is good, nothing more than that and Theo may be good as well in the middle but unproven, in spite of his hattrick the other day. Get Morata or even Benzema in, I'd say, the money's there! Furthermore, Czech should be good and ship out Sir Chesney. |

Is Benzema unhappy at Real? Why would he leave? His position doesn't appear to be threatened.

It would be a great signing, certainly better than Schneiderlin who wouldn't be bad either. Khedira's available on a free, why not take him (as well)?

Or seeing as Benitez is headed to Madrid, could we tempt Higuain over? One thing is for sure, it's going to be an interesting summer! |

Also, who will the new manager bring in? At a guess, it will be a few major signings, which would potentially threaten his place. If Rafa does indeed go to Real, I think he'll bring Higuain (back) with him, possibly opening up the possibility of a Benzema move. Agree that it's total fantasy at my part, I'm just trying to throw some names around that would fit. He ticks all the boxes and is French as well!! Quote:
Yeah wonder where Khedira will end up going if we get Vidal. Out of the two I would definitely prefer Vidal as he is less injury prone.

Higuain is a great shout, would love him here. Agree, it certainly will be interesting this summer, with the right signings, we can certainly challenge and improve on next year. |

3 posts in one day, must be a record for me!
Finally got round to watching MOTD and I must say that 2 things struck me. 1) Theo may well have a future as a central striker. His awareness, movement and killer instinct was good. Of course, this was a dead rubber game, but still, positive. 2) We need someone like Czech. Ospina is a safe pair of hands and decent back up I feel, but we should have a much much better goalie. At 33 years, Czech will probably be great for a good 5/6 seasons. |

Some good injury news at last - Welbeck has hurt his knee and misses the cup final
![]() I'm hoping Theo starts on Saturday. I'm wondering if AW might leave Coquelin out to accommodate him, or whether he's got the balls to drop Ozil? |

bet he starts with Giroud and Theo gets on in the 70th minute if we're chasing the game.
And people who want to drop Cazorla have got short memories! My Red membership for next season was debited today. Isn't that quite a bit earlier than last season? |

You can bet the BBC will be hoping Villa win as theyre underdogs etc, I get the feeling history is against us. Just seen this stat:
The FA Cup has only been retained 5 times in the past 100 years But that includes 1 time we retained it (2003) |

Paul the Octopus was during the World Cup in 2010 not Euro 2008, so I wont hold that article to account for accuracy
