Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

Surely if we are going to cash in on Auba it wouldn't be to buy someone like Zaha, it would be to strengthen the team elsewhere like the defence/midfield. Even accepting that Zaha is younger it doesn't make sense to sell last seasons top scorer and use the money to buy someone effectively in the sa...

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour

Seems he has taken issue with us triggering an extension when he thought he'd be a free agent so had been negotiating with other clubs. Guessing he would have been happy for us to trigger it if he was still injured and if he didn't like the clause why did he agree to it. Not sure why the club felt i...

Not only that but because of the inflated market we might well get our money back....or maybe even MAKE A PROFIT :shock: :lol: :barscarf: Maitland-niles, torreira and the dozi wouldn't be a bad midfield imo - again it wouldn't be the finished article by any means, but it would be 3 young players gr...

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

I think the reason people are worried about selling Auba is because we have no faith in the club to then invest the money to improve what needs improving, so we might just be weakening ourselves. But if we want to get better over the longer term then frankly we will just have to trust those in charg...

Re: Unai Emery

Hypothetical here. If Allegri were available and wanted to come here how many here would be in favour of sacking Emery to get him? I'm still very much pro-Emery for next season but you would have to seriously consider it. Small chance that Allegri leaves this summer. More likely to happen in 2020. ...

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

If we have to sell one of our saleable assets, I'd plump for Bellerin. He's a good player but I think we'd get good money for him (north of £50m) and in theory it will be easier to find a younger cheaper replacement who can perform a similar role. Replacing Auba's goals would be much harder without ...

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

Rumours tht Madrid are willing to offer 85m for Auba Doubtful, but if true it would be a no brainer for me - love his pace and on his day he is unplayable, but for me his unplayable days are rarer than his average/cant be arsed days, and lets be honest and admit that he isn't clinical enough anyway...

Re: Valencia (A) 09/05 20:00 KO

Agreed, cannot understand the negativity. They are very beatable and whilst of course there is a nightmare scenario of losing and then the scum winning, the opposite sees us win a European trophy in the same week they lose a final. Their defence is dreadful and we've got an excellent strike force. ...

Re: other matches this weekend

It's utterly hilarious that Liverpool didn't win the league after the season they've had. If it was us I'd be absolutely gutted that the performance didn't end with the title. And I really think this was the season they had to win it, hard to see City's levels dropping over the next few seasons, whe...

Re: Unai Emery

The reaction to recent results and performances comes with any club of our size going through a rough patch but the bigger picture is that at the start of the season I actually thought things might get even worse than last season before they started to get better. So I stick by the fact that by bein...

Re: Wolves A Prem Weds 24th April KO 1945

Agree that I think it's time for significant rotation to end for the rest of the season. I can understand why Emery has felt it necessary up until now but we're basically in the "every game is a cup final" mode now so just go for it. If we pick up injuries then so be it, the squad isn't st...
