How do him and Lacazette play in the same side?
You can play a narrow diamond similar to the formation in which Ozil, Laca and Sanchez featured in.
PEA could play just off Laca, although I doubt weāll sign him anyway.
Lacazette gets dumped, no need to make room for a 1 in 3 merchant. Anyways we wonāt be signing him anyways.
Would it mean we would play with 2 strikers?
Ozil
Auba Lacazette

The squad is always going to be far off though. I donāt think we can expect to fix everything and then go and get that final piece or two. Even if heās only good for 3 years it should be more positive than not doing anything and hoping decent players are available instead.
And in terms of money, if he really is around Ā£50m, if we can get something like Ā£20-30m for Sanchez then thatās only Ā£20-30m more and in a season where weāre currently on something like a Ā£20-30m transfer profit I donāt think itās a big deal. Even if we spent Ā£40m on Malcom thatād only be a net spend of something like Ā£20-30m which is perfectly fine.
If Ozil staying is really a possibility then Iād say any positive action we can do in the next two weeks is necessary. Or even if he doesnāt, making our squad look more complete in time for the summer will probably help us appeal to players and pretend weāre not in a mess, rather than being barebones and desperate for players and deciding we should hold onto weak players because we need numbers.

It doesnāt seem to be in any way related to a possible move. At least from what I can find heāll be fined, didnāt play against Wolfsburg and thatās it.
Sounded really rude, tbh.
Imagine if we did get auba and malcolm and shipped off Walcott and sanchez
aubaā¦lacaā¦malcolm
ozilā¦wilshereā¦ramsey
Midfield could do with a little bit of work but the forward line arguably is better than when we did have sanchez.

The problem is one: Mugabe would still be our manager. We can even buy Messi, but we need to get rid of ArsƩne Mugabe first.

Seems legit. More sources seem to be covering the story now. I always thought Auba would be off to China next.
fucking hell fair play if we have signed Auba in the current shambles we are in
changing to 3-5-2 or 4-4-2?

If we do sign him, it will only be because of the shambles weāre in.
This would be yet another knee jerk signing by Wenger, when things arenāt going right.
Pretty decent one compared to some others mind.

He is a fucking hypocrite. āJanuary window should be closedā 
Possibly.
Probably an indication of the pressure he is under rather than a signing he has planned ages for.
Would give everyone a lift but just dont see it happening.
But it isnāt closed, and while it isnāt, you use it.
You can think the January window is stupid, still make deals, and not be a hypocrite.

Not particularly excited by this if it comes to fruition. Probably because I donāt really rate him or like him, and the fact weāre losing Sanchez
