Wenger quotes from Oz press conference...

[The Rob2]

Sanchez out, use the money to try and force Monaco's hand on Lemar who is reported as the one AW really wants. Lemar and Lacazette in, arguably strengthened from last year.

Keep Mezut obviously.

Losing him for free is just not an option.

are you qualified to demand we get rid of our best player for Lemar?

Have you studied Lemar or have you just heard us linked with him/seen his football manager stats? Please do tell us how he matches up to Sanchez

Of course I am qualified. I manage an U10 team. Played 14, W14, D0, L0.

I've seen Lemar play quite often as it goes. Is he as good as Sanchez? Does he match up to Sanchez? I don't believe I said that, in fact I don't believe I have ever said that.

What I suggested is that losing 1 and replacing with 2 good players could perhaps see the overall impact on the side being one of improvement. The additions of creativity and goals from a left sided position plus goals from a new striker.

Of course it may not. Such is football.

p.s. I didn't demand anything either.
