Let’s see where we are at the end of the window. We’re getting linked with every man and his dog so god only knows what the truth is.nut flush gooner wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 4:48 pmSo there you have it, even Aston Villa can outfox us in the transfer market. What was it Josh Kroenke said 2 months ago.
Seems unlikely that Buendia was our top target if we’ve given Villa a free run at him at only £30m.

I watch so little football these days that I’ve no idea if it’s a good or bad thing that villa have beaten us to his signing
Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

Aston fucking Villa outbidding us for a player from Norwich. That sort of tells us everything about where we are as a club. Almost as if we needed something to completely and utterly encapsulate the last 15 years.

Buendia has just been called up to the Argentina squad. So he’s good enough to represent his country but not play for Arsenal.g88ner wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 5:43 pmLet’s see where we are at the end of the window.

He offers a lot more than Odegaard, can play across the front line or as a number 10, which means ESR doesn't get asked to play out of position which wound me up every time Ode played. Not forgetting he is £20million cheaper.
This is the world Arsenal live in these days, we cant attract top tier players we should be lapping up players like Buendia and Bissouma. If we don't get a decent CM partner for Partey next season we are fucked.

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
Question I have is why Buendia thinks Villa are a big step up? Mid-table and living in Brum. Strange choice. At least you can live in London at Arsenal.

Could you imagine our offer, we probably said something like £1m over 20 years.Perryashburtongroves wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 7:14 pmAston fucking Villa outbidding us for a player from Norwich.

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
I've heard it on good authority that we're shit!
Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
A timely slap in the face for Arteta? The other day he said that every player we’re after wants to play for Arsenal.......we’ll that’s another thing you’ve fucked up Mikel!!
We’ll end up paying Madrid 15m to get Odegaard on another years loan, it’s coming, you wait.
I have zero confidence in Arteta or Edu being capable of bringing in anything better than what we have.
Next season we’ll see Chambers as 1st Choice RB, Colossusnatch as backup LB, Saliba and Martinelli rotting in the reserves, Odegaard the most expensive loan signing ever, and we’ll extend Lacazettes contract and give Elneny a new 4 year deal on 80k a week. Trust the process, this is Arsenal.

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
This is a perfect example showing just how far we have fallen as a club.. I mean not only have we been outbid by astonFuckinVilla - who also acquired the better of our two goalies last season, but now a young rising talent would actually agree to go with them INSTEAD of Arsenal FC
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57371870
Aston Villa have agreed a club-record deal worth an initial £33m for Norwich City midfielder Emiliano Buendia.
Villa have moved swiftly to head off potential interest from Arsenal.
The Argentine, 24, was the Canaries' player of the season as they cruised to the Championship title last term and a return to the Premier League.
The deal, which could rise to £38m with add-ons, is close to completion with personal terms agreed and a medical already conducted in Argentina.
The total package - which also includes a sell-on clause of 10% - eclipses the signing of Ollie Watkins from Brentford last summer, which was an initial £28m rising to £32m with add-ons.
Buendia has won promotion twice in his three years with Norwich, either side of making 36 Premier League appearances as the Canaries were relegated in 2019-20.
Therr was a sell-on clause in the deal which saw Norwich sign him from Getafe for £1.5m in 2018 but the Carrow Road club bought this out.
I mean WHAT-THE-FUCK????? we have become a total Laughing Stock....
Utterly Embarrassing.

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
The truth in this is that we have wasted about £500m on shite over the last decade. I’m talking about transfer fees and wages. We now have a squad worth buttons in some areas and the 5th highest transfer bill in the Prem. If this is not just down to financial mismanagement it can only be fraud. Kroenke might be a prick but he is letting the management team burn his investment to dust. It is criminal. It really is scandalous what has gone on since we left Highbury.
Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
Looking at where we are now was there really any point in leaving Highbury?

Probably just about managed to make a bid, probably assumed the bloke would chose us over Villa, probably don't really have any other options, probably almost a certainty that he'll score against us for Villa for about three years in a row before moving to the chavs or Manure. I'll be the first to admit that I know fuck all about this geezer but if we genuinely wanted him and identified him as a top target and trying to get a deal done in early June would lead us to believe that's the case, then being beaten to him by Aston Villa is a fucking disgrace. How must this look now for any other player linked with us? Would any sensible, half-decent player choose us, if we can't get get a player from fucking Norwich?
