Arsenal are yet to make an official offer for Buendia, but he has moved to the top of their list of playmaker targets as discussions inside the club ramp up ahead of the summer transfer window. Norwich are believed to want around £40m for the attacking midfielder.-1/2 [@goal] https://t.co/BQEdLq4DeM

#AFC | Reports suggesting Norwich are demanding £60m for Emi Buendia are wide of the mark, I understand.

£35m - £40m should get the job done.

We should buy another few playmakers/number 10s cos you can never have enough of them Can any of them play right full or centre midfield ?

Smith Rowe can't play every game , we have little creativity as it is , we need at least one more.

We only have one number 10 (Smith Rowe) don’t we?

I’m sure Saka could play there of course but we play him wide. Willock would favour that position too. Who else?

The Telegraph report Newcastle will make an offer to #Arsenal to turn Joe Willock’s loan into a permanent move & are increasingly confident the player is ready to leave London. https://t.co/BAfP0S0sm0

Sources have indicated that #Arsenal are open to the idea of selling the England U21 international in order to fund their pursuit of Real Madrid’s Martin Odegaard, who took Willock’s place in the squad when he arrived on loan at the start of the year. https://t.co/Viu1YowJ6c

Willock’s asking price is likely to be around £20m but #Arsenal could raise that price given how well he has done in the North East. Negotiations are unlikely to be simple or straightforward & Willock may have to ask for the move for things to speed up.

I like chambers I really do, but I still believe that we need a better right full - no way could I justify spending £40m of an extremely small budget on a back up number 10 when we need a first choice right back AND a first choice number 8 to play alongside partey in midfield

Recruitment plans have already been submitted by Edu and Arteta to the board of directors and they're very clear in what they want to do. They do have a plan to get back into the big time. [@David_Ornstein]

I’m sure Edu and Arteta do have a plan to get us back into the big time but I’m sure that was their plan last summer too when they did this bag of shite...

- Willian: 3yrs @ £200k/wk
-Cedric: 4yrs @ £100k/wk
- Auba: 3yrs @ £300k/wk
- loan in Ceballos
- loan out Guendouzi, Torreira & Saliba but keep Mustafi, Elneny and Sokratis
- make Ozil train alone until January on £350k/wk
- Sell Emi Martinez & replace with Runnarson
- Partey £40m? - not looking smart business so far...

Gabriel and Mari had done okay I suppose but hardly been great either tbh

All things considered, it was a shockingly bad transfer window !

According to @corrierefirenze, #Arsenal are amongst the clubs that tempt Fiorentina's Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, who is in a hurry to progress his career. https://t.co/29KsnAbGRf

That rules us out then

We don't have a proper number 10. Smith-Rowe is the nearest we have but not the finished article and often just drops right out of games.

Er-Dee-gard started brightly but has gone to total shit and will probably be gone back to Spain. Willock is gash. Saka makes too many wrong decisions to be effective in that role....

We need a top level creator in the middle. But we also need a proper DM, a better goalie, a couple of actual top CHs and a proper right back and cover for the injury prone Tierney at LB and a striker and a new manager and a new owner and a new board and.....

Edu needs to take the advice I gave him over the phone back in 2003 and fuck off.

Our problem is that anyone in any decision making position at the Club hasn’t a scooby. Therefore we have agents and other leaches crawling all over them to “advise” them. Kia Joorabchian is top of the list. Raul wasn’t far behind. Sacking the scouting team hasn’t helped as we are now even more reliant on agents. No surprise we keep signing shit on big money. It needs to fucking stop.
