Similar to what was mentioned by The Athletic and Fabrizio. As Fab said, some media like to ahead of themselves and report bids and agreements, when in reality Arsenal just registered their interest.
For that figure might awsell keep it at interest level, english tax getting more and more ridiculous.
Yes letâs play for them to get haaland, develop their academy talents and neglect ours
Tammy would be ok if: Lacazette fucks off. And available for ÂŁ10-15m. Not under any other circumstances
Hmmm, if Tammy is worth 15m then how much is Nketiah worth with a year left in his contract?
The ÂŁ5m weâll no doubt end up getting for him
I think Tammy is worth ÂŁ20m, meaning a ÂŁ25m agreement I wouldnât be outraged about.
But 25m flat or loan with option to buy at 40m would be the only things Iâd consider remotely worthwhile.
Would make my summer. Iâll let Edu off if he can make this happen
If we could sell Lacazette and Nketiah and get Abraham as a replacement, for a net spend of a few million, that would be good business.
Then, if he doesnât work out, West Ham or Everton can take him off our hands, like they usually do.
But does he want to come here and play as a second choice striker behind Aubameyang or would he prefer to start regularly for West Ham, who are also interested?
Depends on if he fancies his chances against an ageing Auba. I think he will.
I canât see him rejecting Arsenal if we came knocking personally. It is most likely his dream move with him being a gooner and all.
Lol
Fabrizio getting an update on Kounde while live on Twitch.
He is exceptionally good in Fifa 21
Soon update on Odegaard from Jan.
Weâve made an enquiry for Lautaro Martinez?
In reality, Edu has texted Marotta on WhatsApp and been left on two blue ticks
We âinquiredâ about Lautaro Martinez the same way Iâd âinquireâ about the price of expensive champagne. No intention or ability to actually buy it. Canât wait for Edu to say âNo, Tammy was always our first choice to play strikerâ at the Abraham unveiling when someone asks him about Lautaro.
We inquired for the inquiry, nothing more.
Or just to make ourselves in relevant headlines
Or we did nothing and this dickhead is talking out of his ass.
Iâm really not convinced by Abraham and would question if he is any good, why is Chelsea letting him go. Think he would do well at Everton or West Ham but canât see him being as good at Auba or Laca. Iâd much prefer us, if we are going to sell Laca, to give Balogun a real opportunity but also try Martinelli as a central striker.
We are not going to be able to strengthen in every position this summer, and for me it will be more important on getting a new RB, central midfielder and an attacking midfielder in place before then end of the window. Then next summer we could go in big for a top quality striker to compete and ultimately replace Auba.
As I said before, our record of buying Chelsea players isnât good but if Lacazette leaves and we get Abraham as a replacement, for a net spend of around 10m, he would be ok as cover for Aubameyang,
If he doesnât work out we arenât going to lose much money on him, if we have to move him on.
I agree, we really need to look for a top level striker after this season and that has to be sorted out quickly because if Aubameyang canât get us goals, we donât want to rely on Martinelli of Balogun.
Usually they are past their prime though. Cech wasnât awful. But Chelsea obviously got the best of him. Willian, Gallas etc, Chelsea had already rinsed before they came here. Whereas they got a prime Ashley Cole from us.
Think Abraham is different though. Youâre right in what you say about if he doesnât work out we can probably get a decent fee selling him.
Or it could be that Chelsea havenât used him right - heâs never really been properly first choice for them. And itâs not like they havenât sold players who have gone on to have great careers before.
