BREAKING: Wolves are today in advanced talks with Arsenal over a four-year deal for Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Nuno Espírito Santo is keen to strengthen both his central midfield and full back options and the versatile 22-year old fits the bill on both counts. [@SkySportsNews]

Its a shame that we are having to sell the likes of Holding and AMN just because we can't find buyers for some of the clowns that we have. We will end up having to terminate their contracts or pay them off to leave. The likes of Kolasinac, Sokratis and Mustafi laundering 80-100k a week is beyond criminal.

Agreed.

It's a shame AFC can't just say to these players " you're not living up to what you're contracted to do and so we're terminating your contracts". In truth that's what should happen.

PSG linked with Bellerin. I said a few weeks back that I’m more excited about the players we’ll get shot of this window than any incomings and with every departure rumour I’m hearing that’s still the case.

Clear out the fucking lot of em.

:D :D

Can’t find the link now but the best rumour I read was that if Napoli miss out on Gabriel (because he signs for us) they will put an offer in for Mustafi instead!

Schalke cant afford his current salary, or they have an informal salary cap. We will need to be creative. Re Bellend to PSG I dont think its a credible story given AMN is leaving.

Agreed, seems unlikely we’d sell both AMN and Bellerin. We’ve only just signed Soares so presumably we’d be straight back in the market for a back-up right back.

Then again, if he like Soares as first choice then getting £40m for 2 unwanted full backs is pretty good business!

Oh, and sokratis can play full back :lol:

FA cup in the bag.

Mari, Gabriel and Saliba incoming. All 6’3+ Central defenders.

Martinelli and saka secured to long term contracts.

Aubameyang seemingly happy to stay.

New right back (Soares) and Creative winger (Willian).

Viva la Revolution :barscarf: Central midfielder next please :barscarf:

And to make matters worse other teams are low balling us with the offers for AMN and Holding they know that we are desperate to sell and will have to accept bids that are far below the market rate. It is years of bad decisions and bad squad management coming home to roost.

While the Saliba and Gabriel partnership is exciting, I will be surprised if they start games together from the go. Both are quite young and not yet the finished article, so Arteta might start Luiz or Mari alongside them. God I hope we don't ruin them :roll: .
