Well Diego Costa is like 39, I mean 28
He is faster than his aging process?
Jay Jay Okocha turns 29
And his grandkids are just about to start big school
I would pass on him based on that alone.
Agreed. If he did it once we could never quite trust him not to do it again.
That might end up being Sakho...
They may be past caring now where he's concerned. He's been doing the biz for them on the pitch, but he's plainly wanted out for a very long time.
Southampton probably has a good replacement lined up and will not need Sakho. I also hope we have other options as cannot possibly compete with the chavs and Man City.

If true he's only gone as its a London club.
Edit - Reported in most british tabloids now, but from a bosnian media source originally.
So not sure if its legit.
Would be very surprising if true. This might be just his agent agreeing personal terms with a bunch of clubs in advance of the actual transfer.
UPD: The Guardian now also reports it as fait accompli. Very strange indeed – first of all why would a highly sought-after player join Arsenal now that's they are likely to miss out on CL and possibly change managers? Where were the other suitors (including us)? And LB position is far from Arsenal's biggest problem. I don't understand it at all.

Tbh they've been pissed off with him for quite a while.
Now that they play a higher intensity game Lukaku sticks out like a sore thumb. The comparison to Sturridge is quite striking (pun intended) actually.
Ignoring Sturridge's injury record, he's still never been as popular as his goalscoring record suggests he should be with our fans, imo because he looks lazy compared to his peers (the truth is somewhat different imo & is down to playing style, but that's by the by).
In similar fashion Lukaku has continually been accused by the blues as being lazy, which has only increased the more proactive & higher the intensity of the rest of the players has become around him.
They also both suffer from trying to put a shift in to please the manager, which means they then hit a wall mid game & basically stop pressing & running. Hence the calls of "He just stopped playing partway through the second half" that I've often heard our fans say of Sturridge & now hear their fans saying about Lukaku.
Guardian et al, reporting Wenger staying was a massive factor in his decision. To be fair they do need an upgrade on their LB, but like you said, its unlikely they'll be in CL next season at least. Perhaps he's banking on a swift return.
Bad choice by the player if true. And I also can't help but feel 'London' has a certain factor in the decision making.
£33m for Jose Gimenez, how good is he?

If it is done it surely mean they sorted the extension with Wenger?
Edit:
Its from this lad. Might be something in it then.
Graeme Kelly @GraemeKelly1
Oxlade Chamberlain lads, feel bad saying it, been told today it's done. Got no fee info like.

They have offered silly wages for the that left back from Germany, so that suggests wenger has signed, unless he has agreed to work under a director of football, which is even more unlikely
Our rumoured LB target from Betis, Riza Durmisi, the most creative FB in La Liga so far (in his first Season):
