ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[Clummo99]

Ah jesus Augie what does it matter as long as we do get rid of them.

Granted BUT, we are now hearing about how this transfer window is going to be all about getting rid instead of buying in, and if we had of got rid of them 12 months ago we could be further down the road to recovery and been in a position to buy players now when we really need them.
In other words we have just wasted 12 months

My understanding was the majority of those deals fell through because of player wages not by any desire for the club or manager to keep those players. Or am I remembering wrong?

Xhaka had deal agreed and pep's cone boy convinced him to stay.

Other deals should have gone through with AFC subsidising the players wage at their new club - keeping an unwanted player on full wages, or paying half his wages to fcuk off elsewhere ..... it should be a no brainer

You talk like you know the definitive answers and reasons to these loan deals falling through when you obviously can't unless you're part of the negotiating team on either side. Let's be honest, if you're basing your opinion on newspaper hacks then they're not much more in the know than you or I.

The point I'm trying to make (obviously not very well ) is that you can't sell or loan a player if no club is interested.

I'm not digging you out Augie or trying to be awkward, I'm just debating. Playing devil's advocate if you will.

Sead Kolasinac has agreed to join Bundesliga side Schalke on loan for the remainder of the season

Kolasinac: "I’m happy & proud to be wearing the blue of Schalke again. The club is currently in a difficult situation. Over the coming weeks & months I want to do my part to help us pick up as many points as possible. We will manage to stay up together, I’m 100% convinced of it!"

Are they paying his full wages for that 6 months?

Preference would have been selling him, getting shot of him and building a fund for a new midfielder, but then again we have been mugged in transfer deals for years now....

As far as I know they are paying us 3m loan fee, I'm presuming they are paying some of his wages

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

Everyone and by that I mean every man dog and butcher knows that the reason we can't shift the shit is because they were on huge wages and no cunnt wanted to pay them those ridiculous amounts,the players won't take a pay cut and you cant blame them.

We are literally writing off a huge amount of money because that fuckin idiot frenchman and the idiots who helped buy this shit, gave massive wages that no other fuckin club would and that is why we can't shift them.

I don't remember dick getting rid of all these players, its become something of an urban myth on this forum.

Dick did bring in pepe though, a player that we are going to take the biggest hit in top flight football, ever, we would be lucky to get 20 mil for him.

Of course there are some that might say it wasn't dick that targeted and got players in.

But will then blame Arteta for targeting the wrong type of players or shit player, its either they did/do or don't.

Personally I think that although we are the 11th richest team in world football we are run by a bunch of rank amateurs and disinterested owner.

Maybe a better manager would get us higher up the table but what manager could get this bunch competing for the title.

Klopp has done brilliantly with his squad because I believe his net spend is 11th in the pl but he is definitely the boss there and has a say in the Players coming in and going out, imagine him having to deal with our fuckin incompetent fuck nuggets, (I'm sure if klopp came in I'm sure the first thing he would say is "that edu has to fuck off out of this club with immediate effect"), its shameful how amateurish this great club is run, we are a laughing stock and that won't end until this American cunnt fucks off.

Anyhow HAPPY NEW YEAR

Exactly! Edu is another wasteful c-unt.

Rob Holding close to agreeing new long-term deal at #Arsenal, ending hopes of PL clubs landing him on a six-month loan during the January transfer window

With Kolasinac departing it frees up an overseas player place in the squad......will Saliba be registered now ?

he has been playing well in the u23’s by all accounts.
I’m not sure what sending him back on loan is going to achieve.

It will take pressure off the manager who either doesnt want saliba or doesnt rate him, and if he is out on loan pep's cone boy cant be asked why he isnt picking him. Simples

Buy someone decent FFS rather than some c.unt who isn't getting game time at another club or a Chelsea reject. the reason they're not playing at said club is because they're shit!!

Sack our entire scouting team.

We have sacked them. All of them. Not a single scout remains on our staff. Edu cleared them out a few months ago.

Every day that passes in January without signing a right back and a creative midfielder will prove a massive difference at the end of the season.

Just can't get the January window - its a bit like Christmas shopping for blokes. It's in the diary, you know its coming and yet it all seems to be rushed at the last minute.

You would have thought the players were identified, clubs approached in December, fees agreed, agents on side......1st January, bang - get it done

The squad has such glaring deficiencies in those two positions its unbelievable, and no 'mini revival' will put that right.

Havent you heard ? We are after a midfielder from dortmund (brandt) who is a squad player but is apparently gonna solve our creative issues

All I ever see is linkages with more centre halves (the lad from Hertha), various wingers and flaky forwards. If Bellerin is our first choice right back for the rest of the season and we don't sign an attacking, goal scoring midfielder then the mini revival will soon be over and we'll be playing the same sterile football for the rest of the season

We might sign a goal scoring midfielder but chances are he will come from a league where any of us would be able to score goals from midfield Either that or we will sign some unproven young player with the usual bull.shit club statements about how this kid is gonna develop into on of the best creative midfielders in the world Maybe
