ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[mcdowell42]

As everyone is aware I'm partial to a bit of a transfer thread, but I suggest we lock it down Luke, there is nothing to see here. We are heading to mid table medicrocity, there's nobody coming in that will be a big name player.

I agree that failing to win last night and get into the Be All and End All means that our transfer budget is going to be seriously compromised now under this tight-fisted regime. I can only hope that we can sell the wasters and can rebuild a competent defence.

Think we should have a similar poll up here, but I don't know how to set it up - polls like the one below are open to non Gooners to distort the sentiment of proper Arsenal fans, and there is a load of current players that I would like to know if fans want to go or stay

https://www.skysports.com/football/news ... -should-go

You're right, there's no way to have a poll on each player without flooding the board.

Out of the players listed on there:

KEEP
Leno, Ospina, Kolasinac, Mavropanos, Chambers, Holding, Sokratis, Guendouzi, Torreira, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

SELL
Monreal, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mustafi, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Ozil, [*Random pubber youths].

*Yes, the failed Project Youth has prejudiced my view of the youth players in general. They have usually been massively overhyped and usually end up playing outside the PL or non-league.

Luke is seriously considering it.....

[DB10GOONER]

Also.... Willock?

What the actual fuck were some of you watching last night?

"Not phased" by it? Clean through on goal and fucking put it wide from 8 yards ffs.

The kid is nowhere near ready for that level. Let him get the shit your pants panic-shot misses out of his game in the ressies.

Fucking Willock.

Lacazette seen in Barcelona today has set the rumour mill going.Wouldn't be surprised if he did leave our failing club but he was probably still trying to get back from Baku.

Looking at our squad and players length of time remaining contracts;

8 are out of contract this June - Cech, Macey, Ramsey, Welbeck, Monreal, Jenkinson, Lichsteiner, Suarez (loan)

Certainly 4 will leave and I cannot imagine the other 4 being offered extensions

I'd also look to sell players with contracts expiring in 2020 and 2021 as we cannot have this lot running down their contracts with a year remaining, going on a free;

Koscielny, Bielik, Mustafi, Sokratis, Mkhitaryan, Ozil and Aubameyang.

That will probably raise in the current market about £150m, with Aubameyang bringing in at least half of the that, especially after his golden boot win, 31 goals in total. Giving us a transfer budget of £190m.

Admittedly, that's 15 players leaving the first team squad in one summer. Most would agree would be a good thing, especially given the names listed.

About 5 or 6 Academy player sound like they will be promoted to first squad Willock, Nkeitah, Smith-Rowe, Nelson, and Medley.

That leaves us with 23 players in the first team squad. £190m would buy us 4 or 5 quality players to move us back into the top 4. It is the biggest summer for the club for 20 years. Let's hope they get this right.

You reckon that we will get £150m for that lot ? Seriously ? Not if you threw in 5 Beverley Hills mansions into the deal would you get that money for them - for starters 5 of those 6 players you are hoping to get big money for are in their 30s and no-one will spend big money on players of that age, but also you need to get the idea of ozil going out of your mind cos no-one gonna buy him with those wages, plus he is on a cushy number and has no intention of leaving.

Aubameyang is a £80m stirker on his own. They may not be doing it for us but both Ozil and Mkhiyaryan would get £20m each in the current market because they have great footballing qualities but are not doing it for us. £30m for the 4 defenders is not unreasonable. Despite what we think of these players it isn't a view shared by the rest of the footballing world.

This is in the news again this morning. If we get £80M for Laca and £20M each for Ozil, Mustafi and Mickey. Plus the £40M from the self sustaining model that's £180M to spend. That's enough for a decent rebuild. Hopefully a couple of the youngsters will also be good enough squad players.

I’d much rather sell Aubameyang out of the two - he’d possibly fetch the higher fee and his hair, cars, goal celebration makes me think he believes he is far better than he actually is. On the pitch Lacazette works harder for the team, which is what we need right now as too many elsewhere on the pitch can’t be bothered.
I’d happily also sell Bellerin for a decent amount and get someone in who defends as a priority

Oh and welcome to the forum Parlour’s Beermat

Thanks.

i agree that we should keep Laca and sell Auba. Auba is 30 and we are running out of time if we wanted to sell him and cash in.

In an ideal world we'd keep both but funds being what they are...

Tuttosport claim #Arsenal have had a €42m offer rejected for Sampdoria duo Joachim Andersen & Dennis Praet. For the moment, Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero is not satisfied by the offer. https://t.co/IvCLyGTxpK
