I see the Mirror is suggesting we are looking at Johnny Evans. Hope to God that's not true.
Evans is another example of trying to save money going for the cheap option. |

Thought we were after Mustafi, the German defender playing for Valencia? He had a good Euros.

He cost West Brom around £6m, and he was their player of the season last year, so he'd be more expensive than that. I'd guess they'd be looking for at least £10m. That's not cheap for a centre half.

Interesting reactions from Wenger after the Mahrez questions yesterday.

Definitely hope we don't get Evans, he's just not good enough for the level we should be at. When Mustafi rumours are flying around, Evans just doesn't compare.

See Jack Wilshere is injured again - albeit only for a week or two...
Why is he so injury prone? Trying to rush back too quickly or due to his style of play? |

BAU then with Wilshere. A week or two, where have we heard that before!
Think we may have missed a trick missing out on Ashley Williams, A snip at £10M. Looks Everton bound now. Could have done a job and chips in with the odd goal. Fair enough if Wenger has somebody else lined up but we'll see. |

Knee injury. I think he will be susceptible to "compensating" injuries as a result of trying to look after his ankles. Will put more pressure on other parts of his body.

Rumours hotting up for Mahrez and Lacazette. Add a defender to that and it would be a good transfer window imo.
Whether Arsenal can push the deals through is another matter. |

Whether Arsenal can push the deals through is another matter. Should it happen, we'll pretty much have a new spine with upgrades on what we have (lost), can't ask for more, tbh. It will be interesting to see what we can achieve. Cup win, CL run and challenging for the title will be the least I'd expect. As always, keeping the squad fit will be key. |

There's even a rumour about Griezmann today!
Surely not. |

Jonny Evans (apparently he's valued at £15m) and Ashley Williams ARE NOT good enough for us. I might have taken Williams a few years ago, but not now, I don't care that he is "only" £10m. He's almost 32! Would rather pay double that plus whatever for 8 years younger Mustafi. Can't believe Arsenal fans are even entertaining the ideas that we've "missed out" on Williams or should go in for Evans.

I don't think that many Arsenal fans would consider Evens or Williams a good addition, although if you're not going to spend the money on say a Mustafi, something can be said for getting them in as a back up...

Apparently we bid £16m for Bruno Peres from Torino:

But aren't Chambers and Holding back ups? Not to mention we have Gabriel too. Or are we going to reduce them to being back up to the back ups. I don't see the point of buying another back up, we need someone to take Mertesacker's place.
Agree that we'd be better off buying a proper replacement for BFG, although I feel we should be focusing on getting someone like Mahrez and a striker (say Lacazette) before we strengthen the defense. |

Gabriel isn't good enough for us but he's here. So what if Williams is nearly 32? He's a no nonsense defender who's got years of experience and doesn't bottle challenges like some of our players. I don't know anything about this Mustafi so can't comment. It's academic anyway re Williams.

Draxler or Mahrez? Says he (Draxler) wants to come to Arsenal instead of Juventus.
I'd be happy with either but Mahrez comes ready made for PL right off the bat, though Draxler is younger. https://twitter.com/skykaveh/status/760730794767843329 |

Yeah I'm just seeing the same stories too, that Wenger has spoken to Mahrez and he has "agreed" to join Arsenal. Source: some dude in Algeria. So I won't hold my breath.
