I hope the move to Betis goes through. He needs a chance to prove himself in a first team

It has been that way for several years. I'm aware, but I didn't think almost every youngster we sign will follow the same fate. Might have to change if we're not in Europe and receive a transfer ban. Also, we should be buying players that actually have the potential to start here at some point. Zouma seems like the only exception.

Are we just buying players to sell on for a profit in the future?

Sell him and get Stones. HG quota can't get any lower than it already is.

We have Pato. No need to buy another CF of that ilk

I hope not. Shakhtar supposedly want £38m for him now. Personally hope we stay well clear

The return of Hiddink has done wonders for him.

Done deal. Happy it's only a loan

Will be a good chance to give RLC, Kenedy and Baba a run out. Shame we don't have the comfort of playing at home.

It wouldn't surprise me Chelsea loan him out ffs that's all we seem to do nowadays Looks like a straight cash deal - http://www.90min.com/posts/2900381-chelsea-s-ramires-reportedly-set-for-surprising-25m-china-move?utm_medium=share&utm_source=fotmob I wouldn't be against that type of move at all.

Could be off to China. Surprising time to cash in, if true.

Doing what he did for large parts of last season. I hope these niggles go away, so he can help push us up to table and possibly to silverware

He look awful in that cameo. Lack of game time won't be helping him, but he won't be getting on pitch playing like that

MOTM performance. He was great!

We held on. Up to 13th!

Costa and Cesc have been great. Can't say the same about our defence. We have to win from this position

Where's the width coming from?! Mikel and Matic again. We'll be lucky to get a draw with that lineup

Him going to Utd would shock me. I see PSG being the best fit for him and he would get well paid.

Loan deal shows its nonsense. Never going to happen

Ozil applies his talent very well though. An on form Ozil is much more beneficial to a team that an on form Alexis simply because he truly elevates his team mates level of play. Alexis works hard but Ozil hasn't been a liability to his team, he works fairly hard as well. He was missing for large parts of last season and quite a few Arsenal fans weren't against the fact of selling him. If things aren't going well, he's normally absent.

People like players who give their all (applies to quite a few South Americans). Talent isn't the be all and end all.

It isn't the be all and end all I know but, Teixeria is a far more technically able player than Cuadrao. Whatever he might turn into, I don't think it would be Juan #2. Whatever he turns out to be could result in £30m down the drain. I would prefer to spend a smaller amount on Mahrez. Younger, arguably the best player in the Prem so far this season and would be less of a risk.

Italian clubs were interested in him on a free...but now that he signed a 1-yr deal, get ready to see Ivanovic as Chelsea's starting RB in 2016/2017 I just have to hope the new manager sees the light.

If we really want Stones, this is the window to go all out. HG. It's all about that!

I hope the extension is way of the board making sure we get a fee for him in the summer. His time here should be over
