The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

[northbank123]

I'm surprised we got £12M for Coquelin. Good riddance

Would be astounding if we managed to get somewhere in the region for £30m for him and Walcott.

Wenger: Francis Coquelin goes to Valencia. He didn't get enough games. The best way to replace him is to get Aaron Ramsey back and Mesut Ozil back

Pah hahaha...did he seriously say Ozil a replacement for Coquelin???

[DB10GOONER]

Maybe it's a smokescreen and it's Iwobi he wants.

pleasepleaseplease

Oh look - here's an emoticon of Iwobi running!!

The emoticon needs to carry a handbag as well.

That's the Raheem Sterling emoticon you are thinking of.

Just found out Sterling's middle name is "Shaquille".

With parents like that he had no option but to turn out a total prick.

Good riddance to Cockuelin. Useless. Another pubber that runs around alot and looks "intense" but gives away stupid needless fouls and contributes fuck all beyond 5 yard sideways passes.

As mentioned above he will be redded often in Spain.

Signed a long-term contract less than a year ago. As did Giroud (on huge bucks) and he’s started 1 league game this year.

Meanwhile Sanchez, Ozil and quite possibly Wilshere will walk on frees at the end of the season.

Our contract management has been a complete fucking farce for a decade now. All started with Flamini going on a free (despite short-sightedly selling Diarra for pittance a few months earlier) and the ensuing scramble to sign up the likes of Bendtner, Almunia, Diaby, Eboue and Denilson to long term lucrative deals in case any of them turned out not to be completely fucking useless.

BBC Website:

"Everton have joined the race to sign Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, 28. The Englishman is also wanted by his first club Southampton, with the Gunners set to ask for close to £30m. (Liverpool Echo)


I thought we'd have to pay some fuckka to take the useless cun.t off our hands!

[TeeCee]

How apt it was written by the 'Liverpool echo'...........cause if we get 30m for Wally it will be daylight robbery!!

[Allgunsblazin]

£20m for Sanchez
£15m for Walcott

Wiggy is creaming his pants at the thought of the cash!

[supergeorgegraham]

Trust me on this, Wilshere will sign a long term deal on big money and continue to pick up injury after injury. It's not his fault but his legs and ankles are too weak for Premier League football.
I'm not having a dig I like the player but seen this all before many times and the signs are there.

[supergeorgegraham]

Walcott should go to Everton. Apparently they are crazy enough to pay his wage and may offer us 20 Million in cash as well

[augie]

Coquelin to Valencia deal gone through

Coquelin to Valencia deal gone through

Good riddance, another average player being paid way over the odds and hanging around for at least 5 years too long because Wenger it not ruthless enough.

[oaodan]

They must have bought him without seeing him play at all.Or is Grimandi now working for them.

Francis Coquelin has agreed to join LaLiga side Valencia on a four-and-a-half-year contract following a decade with Arsenal, the Spanish club announced on Thursday.



Coquelin, 26, arrived at Arsenal from French side Laval in 2008 and went on to make 160 first-team appearances.


The combative midfielder spent several loan spells away from the Gunners before establishing himself as an integral part of a Arsene Wenger side which won the FA Cup in both 2015 and 2017.

Coquelin, who is yet to make a senior appearance for the France national team, will be presented by Valencia at 1615 UK time this afternoon.


His deal at the Mestalla runs until the end of June 2022 and contains a buy-out clause of 80 million euros (£71million), [/b]Valencia revealed on their official website.

The Frenchman is reported to have cost Marcelino's Los Che - currently third in LaLiga - £12million after making only seven Premier League starts for the Gunners this season.


Speaking after the goalless draw at Chelsea on Wednesday night, Arsenal boss Wenger said: "He goes to Valencia. He didn't get enough games with us this season.

"He had an opportunity. I let him go."
