Auba: “There were several offers, notably from Barca, but also other clubs.
“My priority was to stay for two reasons: the first is the coach, Mikel Arteta, because we spoke a fair amount during the lockdown, as they say here, we were at home and spoke several times and he convinced me, notably in terms of the project.
“Of course, secondly, is the love that I receive from the fans and people at the club.
“Since I have been here I have been treated like one of their own, and as I am one of their own, I am going to stay here, it is as simple as that.”

Tbf it’s not really comparable with imposing a curfew on the average high street boozer. Doubt it’d even make the top 10 most hypocritical things to come from Parliament this week.

I understand that the risks are obviously different but when you are trying to promote a populist strategies, then this is a very bad move. Especially when it touches boozes in the UK.

See City signing a defender and Otamendi one of Pep's worst signing going the other way.
Why can't we do it?
Why is Torreira not in the squad when he is not moving? Auoar played for Lyon despite the rumours?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which match so far would Torreira have made a real difference in?

Well said Pete.

I'd imagine that he is technically 'available', Geets. Just that Arteta and Arsenal don't want to unnecessarily risk playing a player they're trying to sell.
But happy we have Auba. Without him we would be facked to be honest.

Other clubs arent concerned see Lyon.
I guess we will get the guy in the end. Dont know why we are hesitating. Fear that someone else like City could go for him in the end and try to snapp him up after their result yesterday.
If the other top clubs wanted Aouar they would have bid for him. We are lucky that in the present covid situation very few top clubs in Europe can afford to buy. And those who can have a lot of players similar to Aouar.
Has Memphis been playing for Lyon?
Barca will low ball Lyon near the end of the window and they will bend over. But some 'arsenal fans' want Arsenal to bend over for Lyon.
🤔

Not to worry, just checked. He's played here and there for them so far. As has Aouar.

None of Arsenal's high wage players have left.
🤔
Ozil, Mustafi and Sokratis are all gone and off the wage bill in 9 months no matter what.
Unless...
In fairness to Sokratis, he wants to move but since City are not signing Koulibaly, Napoli don’t need him anymore
What unless? Their replacements are already playing.
Man City are literally paying Otamendi to go. Sokratis, Ozil, Mustafi, Kola, Gwen probably expect the same.

I suspect c£60k a week to a player worth a max of £20k a week.
