Why on earth did he sign a six year deal
Heās fucking legit, but Iām not sure heās ready yet
Heād cost an absolute bomb. No chance.
Grealish is a sublime player. Would love for us to sign him in the role Ceballos plays now. Saint-Maximin is class too. If we kept Auba and played him centrally with Saint-Maximin on the left it would be sexy.
I agree completely about Partey and Upamecano - they should be our top two transfer targets in the summerā¦and agree with you about a Saliba/Upamecano partnership - that could be our central defence for the next 10 years!
I would sooner us sell Guendouzi though, along with Sokratis, Mustafi and Mavropanos. I would keep Lacazette.
Havenāt heard much about Szboszlai thoughā¦I was hoping we could get another tank in central midfield. to play alongside Partey.
You donāt hear much because nobody can pronounce his name. :ozil:
Just curious, why would you want a second tank/destroyer in midfield? Isnāt one enough? And I donāt even think Partey is that one dimensional. Heās not Lorik Cana.
The amount of times Iāve seem Saint-Maximin, and heās been absolutely shite.
I suppose because Iām so fed up of seeing us turned over and not being able to get a win against the top teams anymoreā¦Bayern are open to selling Thiago Alcantara this summerā¦Liverpool are interested. Maybe we could hijack Partey - Thiago pivot anyone :raul:
Now thatās a double pivot Iād love. Doesnāt really do much to lower the age profile of the team. Thiago also has bones made of balsa wood. Could be an issue up North.
Maybe a younger version thenā¦just like the idea of having tough defence and midfield that the likes of Liverpool and City couldnāt break down
donāt want saint maximim
Iād happily have him, but not for the price Newcastle will sell for.
I think he will be a very good player in his peak
Ornstein on Leon Bailey in The Athletic.
āBefore the coronavirus pandemic and footballās shutdown, Leverkusen were expected to seek a fee of around ā¬50 million for Bailey. But that figure is likely to be reduced to ā¬20-30 million, even though the Kingston-born attacker has three years left on his contract. With Manchester City and Manchester United thought to be among those to have expressed interest, although he is not a first-choice target for either team.ā
Iād take him in a heartbeat over Laca for whom weād easily get a similar price. Heād get a first team place at Arsenal, albeit, not in the Champions League, yet.
Those proposed figures make me think that we are more likely to extend Mustafi and maybe even Xhaka. The market is so low that we couldnāt sell them at a price which would fund a rebuild.
If decent players are really going to cost half as much thatās a perfect time to rebuild.
I wonder if thereās room for the PL to sell more domestic game packages to increase broadcast revenue too. There will be hundreds of games next season that wouldnāt have been broadcast in the UK.
I donāt think that Leon Bailey is that impressive tbh
But if we can only sell for half as much and our budget is already fucked do we have the space to rebuild on the fly?
āArsenal are eyeingā
āhe just signed 6 year dealā
ummm yeahā¦ no.
A year or two ago was world-class potential on FMā¦ super speedy.
Worth a punt perhaps but havenāt followed in a whileā¦ anyone got intel from Bundes?
