January Transfer window thread

He’s a Wengerball player

I’m getting worried that for the past 2 years when we’ve been linked to a player, more often than not I’m praying we DON’T sign him.

FML.

In the rare instances I’ve seen him lace up for Barca I liked what I saw.

They’d probably ask too much for him though.

Every time I see Khedira’s name mentioned, I can’t help but be reminded of OA’s greatest post of all time :arteta: @Gio

please tell me you have proof of that post, like a screenshot or something.

Afraid not mate, but I think it may’ve been reuploaded onto here at some point. I’ll have to work my magic and see if anything comes up.

Edit: Found it! @Electrifying Good old Forum search does the job. Apparently the image is still attached on our Twitter page :smiley:

Widely regarded as the best post on the old forum, no?

Deserves a place in memoriam here. :arteta:

I thought this would be :

‘he’s 32’,
‘he’s not 32, he’s 31’,
‘are you shit at fractions and ratios, if it was a fraction you round up’,
‘that’s not how it works’

Haha man this never gets old if I do say so myself

Ahah! Missed it.

I remember him being highly rated a few years ago. He has played under Emery before for Sevilla. Some quick research tells me that he was on the bench for the 2015 Europa League final.

The transfer fees being mentioned are relatively small. That article suggests that Barcelona would want more than EUR 10m, which we should be able to afford.

Seems like a realistic transfer considering his history, the price and our need for a CM.

Anybody got further insight on his ability / potential etc?

EDIT: Reading a Barca forum and they are being far from complimentary. Some saying he could be a starter for a mid-table team in La Liga, others saying he never realised his potential and his ship has sailed. The majority have given up on him and just want him sold. Hmmmm.

60-70 likes iirc :wenger2:

Fuck off shitty run prem teams. Never give us any of this money.

£19m! 1 senior goal :laughing:

Diaz to Real Madrid more or less done. City get £15m for him, despite his contract running out this summer :joy:

Just the best post in OA history. @Gio cemented himself in OA folklore with that one

Khedira in 2019… :joy::joy:
Glimpses of Alexis-Mkhi deal where both clubs were like “Hey, I hate this toy, would you exchange it with the toy you hate?”.
…now they both hate their new toys…

Apparently Chelsea are signing Fekir and Lozano. Wow

Jesus Liverpool are good, just shy of 20 million quid for a striker that’s scored 1 in 27.
