From BBC....Arsenal have rejected Roma's 15m euros (£12.9m) bid for Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.
The Italian side's bid fell short of Arsenal's valuation of the 28-year-old, who joined the Premier League club in 2016 for a reported £35m and has a contract until 2023.
According to @ChronicleNUFC, Newcastle are becoming increasingly confident over Joe Willock - with sources feeling there is a willingness on the #Arsenal side to do a deal for the midfielder at the right price. https://t.co/DyXgxSSfus
The Athletic understands Arsenal intend to make several significant additions to their first team squad during this window, with any resources allocated to squad-building likely to be supplemented by revenue from player sales. [@TheAthleticUK] #afc
I love that phrase ''intend to." It means absolutely nothing. I could sit here and say I intend to have a nightly threesome with Helena Christensen and Heidi Klum but, realistically, it's probably not going to happen, is it?
Happy to stand in for you, if you have any clash of appointments mate.
Also
The Athletic “understands” ie, no source, so a guess, like everybody else, and what a surprise that any resources “likely” to be supplemented from player sales
My god - the yts lad / girl / gender neutral that identifies as a rich tea biscuit could have written that .
Dave457189614564 says on twitter that it's a done deal so suck on fucking that
Confirmed by "someone else" on twatter too.
Done deal.
Apparently Roma received a telephone call from someone with an Oirish-like accent telling them if they called the deal off at this point there would be "Consequences"
I was deliberately being facetious but obviously my humour is too advanced for some.
Or just not that funny?
You had me confused once I got to facetious ,may I suggest an emoticon at the end of your post,maybe a smiley face to tip us off,of the humour about to descend upon us.
PS don't go overboard with the emoticons though like some of our other posters who seem to overdo it with them, to try and seem some what funny
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to make Leicester midfielder James Maddison the club’s marquee signing this summer. [@SportsPeteO, Football Insider] #afc https://t.co/4Xhr03n88T
Arteta has told friends he is plotting a big push to sign Maddison, who he is a big admirer of & believes he has the class & pedigree to play for a Champions League calibre club as well as develop into a regular for England. [@SportsPeteO, Football Insider] #afc https://t.co/1EDup0btRR
