ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[GoonerMuzz]

If UE really does rate Iwobi then we're stuck with him for the foreseeable future

The four players I really wanted to see gone, if not all at least two of them, were Mhiki, Iwobi, Mustafi and Xhaka and it looks like we might go into the new season with all of them

LATEST - Mesut Ozil's agent Dr Erkut Sogut will travel to America next week to hold talks with DC United - who are looking to replace Wayne Rooney. Exploratory talks will be held over a potential Jan 2020 move

DC face competition from Inter Miami & LA Galaxy for the Arsenal star https://t.co/aFcNuak4XB

Just watched Dick giving a SSN interview. Claiming that we can't get first choice CBs over the line and not prepared to sign 2nd raters. Still hoping to get a CB signed tomorrow. Perhaps if we paid the going rate that would help

In fairness to Dick he came over as more honest and transparent than TOF ever did. I'm still waiting for the subtitles to creep in

L'Equipe claim David Luiz is trying to force a move to #Arsenal. https://t.co/uB5DXpqRTO


#Arsenal have made a firm offer for the Brazilian defender who absolutely wants to make the move & refused to train today as Chelsea continue to attempt to block him from moving to Arsenal.

further report that Luiz skipped training to meet with The Arsenal.

just a reminder lads - its only the DOMESTIC transfer window closing. we can still buy overseas until the 15th. not sure if that includes Scotland.

what is certain about this window is that all of Barca, Real and Juve need to raise funds, so watch those loan fees plummet as they try to free up space in the FFP - no one wants to become a Chelsea and get locked out.

Clockender are you sure about that,i was under the impression that we couldn't buy any players once the 5pm deadline tomorrow was over that includes players in other leagues, unless they are free agents,we can still sell players abroad but can't buy any.

David Luiz is among options Arsenal working on for centre-back - delicate but not for 1st time (see 31/01/18) #AFC keen. Kieran Tierney remains a target, Eddie Nketiah still deciding but likely Leeds, Alex Iwobi will happen IF Everton make suitable offer #EFC #LUFC #CFC #CelticFC


David Ornstein BBC, this guy is normally very accurate with his info regarding Arsenal.

Pretty sure that is incorrect. Premier League clubs can't register any new transfers after 5pm tomorrow (they can register players out of contract/without a club after then). Can still sell though to markets where window is open.

after 5pm tomorrow no PL club can buy players but can still sell to foreign clubs

BREAKING: Chelsea defender David Luiz wants a move to Arsenal before the transfer deadline and trained away from the rest of the squad today

According to the Standard, Chelsea have denied reports that Luiz refused to train, but Standard Sport understands that the Brazilian hopes to quit Stamford Bridge over fears about his playing time under new boss Frank Lampard. https://t.co/uW4S3Vb4tL

Augie I'm an upgrade on mustafi

As am I, but mustafi is 3rd choice at the mo and I'm not sure luiz is a big upgrade on chambers (especially when you factor in his age and expected wage demands)
Dick has been very public about not buying players unless they are really gonna improve the team, and I'm not sure luiz ticks the boxes for me cos he feels like a panic/desperation buy if I'm honest
