I think these are all of the players most strongly rumoured to be or in genuine contention to leave the club in January. That would be quite a significant number of players to go mid season should it happen. I doubt we would spend all of the money we got if we let them all go and would only be likely to bring in one or two players, and I wouldnt be surprised if they are mid table quality players.
We are again being linked to Lemar, but with Liverpool also rumoured to be after him I doubt we would match the price they would pay. Not seen anything else with any substance to it (but then again not all of the players I listed as leaving have substance to the rumours).
I don't feel very optimistic about this January transfer window, but here's to hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised.
What are your expectations for this transfer window?
Giroud, Walcott, Coq, Debuchy and Sanchez

IMO pretty much guaranteed that Sanchez is leaving in this window (most likely City) and Walcott will go to Southampton on loan, (hardly a great loss). Debuchy, Coq, also likely departures.

No point signing anyone now. Keep what we have and sell them all in the summer and use the money to have a really nice holiday

In the immortal words of James Alan Hetfield: "F*** them all and f***ing no regrets".

We’ll look very stupid if we decide to sell Sanchez now. The point of them keeping him was that he helps us get top 4. Sell him now and the club will just look clueless. Which obviously they are, so we probably will sell him

I doubt any of them will leave in January but it's definitely possible in the summer

My issue with these players leaving is that Wenger just won't buy.
We have see how poor our squad is once we get injuries

Any why are we selling coquelin and keeping dross like Elneny?
Same applies for walcott and Welbeck

Guys, think this way, if you are young talented player, would you like to sign for Arsenal?? Especially with current climate? Our club is on decline. Like it or not but that's the fact. Any serious player, who has appetite for trophies, glory, appetite for his own development would sign for Arsenal when other clubs have better prospects? Likes of City, Chelsea, Pool in England and other clubs in Europe.
Wenger has lost his magic in finding young talent. We don't know where club is heading towards? We have difficult 3-5 years ahead for sure.

Thats not quite true. Its that other clubs saw him doing well by finding young players so joined in. Football has moved from young players moving up the leagues as it used to a few decades ago to the best young players being snapped up by the big clubs when they are young. The best example of this being Messi
