ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[mcdowell42]

Arsenal expected to approach Crystal Palace to formally discuss Eberechi Eze. Palace attacker still high in #AFC’s thinking, as revealed.

It follows positive talks with the player camp. Eze separate to Noni Madueke talks.

Read somewhere online that there is an online petition by Gooners opposing the purchase of the chav reject and the petition has almost 1k in signitures already - if I'm honest it seems a bit lame, but if someone can point me in the right direction I will sign it too cos words cannot express how opposed to this signing I am

I don't post much on this fucking thread as there is more shit being thrown around than the village farmer on muck spreading day

But I have to say, what the actual fuck is going on with our transfer strategy?

My suspicion is that Diet Pep wants far too much influence in the decision making process. And, I reckon it's the reason that Edu left the club. In fact it has all the hallmarks of Wenger 2 wanting control over everything

Diet Pep should be identifying positions of need, Bertha should give him a shortlist and then when Diet Pep has made a choice, Bertha should go and get the deal done, at least that should be his job. But I think Diet Pep is being deliberately obtuse especially where a striker is concerned.

As many of our esteemed posters have pointed out, I don't think Diet Pep actually wants a striker. All this talk of wide players or attacking midfielders will deflect away from the pressing need. All the prevarication over a few million quid for a striker suggests that they are hoping for the deal to fall through. And we've heard the soundbites before about how hard we tried to sign so and so.

And that's before we get on to the issue of contract extensions for the players we need to keep, otherwise they will get tapped up and walk for a pittance.

I love the transfer window

Oooooh! Nick Nack... You know all those Long words make me Woozy !


The World and His Fucking Dog! Knew we needed a Striker Above and Before Any Other Position and The World and His Fucking Dog also knew that Any club we approached with regards buying a Striker from them already had us by the Short & Curlies from the start and would obviously be Jacking the Price up. So why fuck about and try and play hard ball when they hold all the Aces (ie: The Player).

We should Prioritise Our Biggest Need First Before Any Others... A Striker... Just Pay What They're asking and sell off some of our Deadwood (and we all know there's plenty to be got rid of!) to get some money coming in...

THEN Once we've addressed the Striker issue, go and see what other Positions were in need of up-grading or back-up...and see who we might be able to Afford. But Only AFTER We have Bought a Striker...

FFS! Anyone with half a fucking brain can see the logic in prioritising what needs to be addressed. Either Berta is not what many claimed or thought him to be, or Arteta is sticking his fucking over-sized oar in and making things more difficult than they ever needed to be.

Madueke reminds me of that fucking tosser Gervinho ....

I’ve been saying it the whole time….if we sign a proper CF then Lego Head will have to bench Havertz and I just don’t see that happening. The only way he could play a new CF and the German dud is if he benched Odegaard and used Havertz in the number 10 position and that ain’t happening either.

As others have said, haggling over the loose change in the Gyokeres deal (while considering 50m for Madueke!), smacks of wanting it to fail. I can’t shake the notion that if he buys two of either Eze, Rodrygo, or Madueke, then we won’t sign a CF.

If that happens then Arteta really will have nowhere to hide when we win fuck all again.

I listened to the Sky Transfer Talk podcast yesterday where on it they discussed Arsenal's desperation for a striker, and the journo's on it stated that clubs like sporting lisbon will be aware of that desperation and will try to milk a few extra million from us as a result of that desperation, so I have a question for those new age fans who keep telling other Gooners to calm down cos there is still plenty of time left in the window - if every club knew on June 1st that we were desperate for a striker, then doesnt it make sense that if we havent signed one by august 1st our desperation will only be getting higher, and then wont that in turn increase the chances of clubs totally taking advantage of that desperation ?? Delaying addressing a position of need only serves to increase the pressure and increases the chances of paying over the odds and/or signing the wrong guy, but our club dont recognise that

HOT TAKEArsenal won’t spend more than £25m on Madueke.

Chelsea needs to raise £60 million before they can register their new players for the UCL.

They don’t have many assets to sell right now. Arsenal know they’re in a bind. Berta has agreed terms with the player, put it into the media that the player wants out, and… waited.

There’s simply no way a club haggling over payment plans (Eze / Gyökeres), or spending more on overall fees so they can pay in installments (Zubimendi), would overpay a club desperate to shift bodies to be ready for next season.

Arsenal won’t pay £50m. They won’t pay £40m. I suspect the opening bid will be £25m with add-ons. The club has to be creative to build out the squad beyond the core buys requested. Chelsea are leaking the higher bid to save face. People need to calm down on the fee venting. Suspect this deal will drag out until the end of the window. Stay calm, everything will be ok.

Looks like Gyökeres transfer is on verge of breaking down over a dispute around an extra £5 million.....

is it artetas plan to use the chav reject or havertz as a false 9?

im not convinced he truly wants a striker/goalscorer

It's not an "extra" £5m - sporting want £5m more in guaranteed money instead of in add on's, so the overall total would be the same (if add on clauses are met). Our square head manager keeps talking about us going to win trophies and that we are close, so if he is that sure then it means that we will end up paying the add on's anyway, so why not pay the extra £5m up front then ? Reality of course is that we are going to win nothing more with the cone boy so the club can save £5m by having less guaranteed money and more in add on's - we are a proper big club we are

the mere sight of Ohdeargod, Ben white and havertz fill me with dread.

I’ve never been one to read blog sites like Le Grove and Arseblog….I know it would be bad for my blood pressure….so only really come across their bullshit when you fellas put something on here.

What amazes me is how sure they always are about their own speculative opinions. You’d think that after years of defending the Old Fraud and telling us success was just around the corner, until that position became totally indefensible, that they might have learned a lesson.

But no, they dream up some contrived bollocks, dress it up like fact and preach to the plebs as though they’re on a superior, all knowing plane.

I met some of these jokers at the anti Kroenke protest organising group and while it would be unfair to damn all of them, there are some proper clowns amongst them. They genuinely think they know better than the ordinary supporters, but I have my doubts if they’ve ever kicked a ball. Many are middle class, fan boy types.

[the playing mantis]

No need to tell us twice old chap...must be the heat!

Le grove is an utter *word censored*. Clueless and so far up the clubs arse his just his feet are peeking out the big brown eye.


Arseblog is slightly more realistic but idiots like Tim stilman post on it too he's another everythings brilliant merchant.

[the playing mantis]

Why you little cock pussy you deleted the dupe!!!







Where is uswilson these days anyway.

[Retro Gunner]

Also, I don’t give a fuck how Le Grove might dress this up, the bottom line is that we shouldn’t be signing Madueke for any fee, from Chelsea or from anyone else. Just like Havertz, he’s had 3 seasons at the chavs and been piss poor.

The fact that he’s yet another chav reject just makes the whole idea of signing him even worse.

[rodders999]

As much as I like to stick the boot into the club I think a lot of the hold up over the Gykores deal is down to the agreement his agent (supposedly) made with the club last summer which outlined the release clause.

There’s a gap between what the club thinks it is and what the player was told it was, why should we make up the difference here?

Fuck that. He’s not turning up for pre season training tomorrow, the club aren’t in a position of strength here. I’m not in the camp of “sure just pay the extra 5/10 million or whatever”. No chance. Sweat the c.unts to get the best deal possible.

Player wants away, player only wants to join one club. Why the fuck should we pay a premium in that circumstance?

Same happened us with Cesc, he wanted to go and only wanted to go to one club which tanked his real value.
