ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[OneBardGooner]

Liverpool dealing with eketike:

Interested Friday
Bid submit Saturday
Deal agreed Sunday
Signing photos Monday
Medical was probably last week

I'll bet the bonuses and add ons were worked out on Sunday too.

Yep!

Bish ! Bash ! Bosh! All Done!

Maybe we should put in an offer for their Transfer Team!? I mean put it in now so by time Summer of 2026 comes round we'll be ready to negotiate (again).

Arsenal are pushing to pay a fixed fee for Gyökeres in 4 instalments, but Sporting want bonuses:
– €2.5m for his first 20, 40 & 60 games
– €2.5m if Arsenal qualify for the UCL

SCP are also demanding an extra €1.2m if the structure is changed.
Gyökeres is now exchanging legal letters with the club.

This is heading nowhere but a deadline day bid for Ollie Watkins or a free transfer for Dominic Calvert Lewin. We are three weeks away from the season starting, four years on from first really needing a proper goalscorer and we've still not got anything sorted. It's a fucking disgrace. There is no other option now because if there was, we'd have gone after that player a week ago. The useless fucking idiots at the club have allowed themselves to get played like an old ukulele with this whole thing and Sporting have realised that we're fucked without the deal being done. Ten days ago, we were a day away from him joining, now, they've left for a pre-season tour without getting it completed- that tells me there's a big fucking issue somewhere because surely they were aiming to get all this done before they went as it's good for business but more importantly, perfect from a training perspective. I reckon there's panic going on right now, they want tk walk away but know they can't becsuse they have no other immediate options, anyone else beyond Gyokeres or Sesko will now be £20m more at the very least and they must know that the supporters will be out for blood if nothing happens.
We have a history of fucking about and not concluding transfers. Fucking decades of it and this one seems up there with the Higuain one for complete and utter incompetence. Something's not right. The plan would surely have been to get Zubimendi in and signed because that was all apparently agreed six months ago, the Brentford bloke next, then the chav one in as a sort of low level 'he fits what we're looking for' thing before the big Gyokeres announcement before going off for the tour. The plan is now fucked, I reckon, and the reality of their poor planning and transfer strategy is hitting home. They didn't act in January becsuse they apparently had a plan all prepared for this summer. That's been shown to be a load of bollocks because if that was the case then Gyokeres or Sesko would have been done by the start of this month because they would have known how much pressure they are under to get the striker positon sorted. They're confused and it's showing. There is no strategy and no plan. Never has been and now it's starting to hit home that the 'just throw a bid in and it will work because he wants to come' thing hasn't happened. Chuck into the mix a fucking horrible set of opening fixtures and it's more and more obvious that we're fucked because there's no point sitting it out hoping that Sporting change their mind at ten to twelve on the last day of the window.
At the very best, we'll get Gyokers in but not until the season has started. Right now, more realistically, we'll be panic searching through mid-table Spanish or German teams trying to find someone who we can claim are world class and whose club will accept £45m. Other clubs know we're bad in the transfer market and to be fair, other clubs are more than entitled to take full advantage. That's how the game works. Always has. We're a fucking disgrace. A pathetic and insulting Isak bid for £60m, Ollie Watkins on a five year for £50m or Dominc Calvert Lewin for free. That's where we at.

here's a copy of my letter to our board of directors concerning our transfers dept:

Dear Sirs

Why are you such c.unts?

Start preparing yourself Perry.

You'll soon be seeing Arteta and probably some of the good boys in the squad, telling us that Kai Havertz is back and he's looking stronger and better than ever. He's been super, top, top quality in training and can't wait for the new season to make up for the long lay off last term and to show us his newly acquired Ian Wright levels of finishing. He's like a 3 year old stallion, in the stalls at the Derby, just waiting for the gate to go up. He's going to save us 70m.

Gyokeres pffft.
Sesko pah.

60m down the drain
Kai Havertz shanks it wide again.

[xgtdec]

have we thought about adding 1 pound to our existing offer, we tried that before with success didnt we?

[Retro Gunner]

What a fucking embarrassment we are fucking pathetic shower of arseholes All of this on the back of overpaying about 35 mil for that arsewipe from the chavs...The world is laughing at us..and rightly so

That's the main point Falky and I know that I'm probably boring everyone rigid by keep repeating it.

Bad enough that we bought him and while we're making the point about the speed of the deal, it's the reasons that enabled the speed that are key.

Firstly, the Chavs obviously no longer wanted him.

Secondly, other than us, no other fucker wanted him either.

Thirdly and most importantly, we agreed to pay 52m for a bloke that they wanted shot of and for whom they paid 30m 2 years ago. How the fuck could he be valued at 52m???

Put those 3 things together and if I'm the Arsenal representative walking into your office at Chelsea, you're going to be shaking my hand, clapping me on the back, grinning like a Cheshire cat and having the deal agreed in about 30 fucking seconds. You'd then be rolling around the floor, splitting your sides laughing as soon as I left, closing the door behind me, 52m light.

Unless this bloke turns out to have some ability that the whole world apart from Arteta seems to have missed, then this has to be the most bonkers signing we've made. Mind you, I suppose the 65m on Havertz was equally as bad. A three year flop that we paid the same amoint that Chelsea had paid for him. I try not to be one for conspiracy theories (tending to think it's just that our lot are total idiots), but it makes you wonder what the fuck is going on.

Perhaps make it £1.50....y'know, to allow for inflation and all that.

[xgtdec]

my god the forum is fooked, do we need 50 pence for the meter??

50p? Hmmmm…depends what add-ons you’re offering.

[mcdowell42]

Saw tht yesterday but wasn't sure if I'd post it ,luckily enough i couldn't get on the forum to post anyway.

[shu]

Good effort Perry but I can’t be reading all that . Sporting are obviously crunts too , probably but not deffo our fault but I think I would be going for plan c now after Sesco and Victor .

Watkins and Calvert Lewis but not Jackson who I think is not far off nailed on . Chav scum again because we couldn’t negotiate f all

[nut flush gooner]

Finally got our man, lets fucking go!!!

Fuck you Sporting!

[Perryashburtongroves]

According to that Fabrizio bloke, who I know fucking nothing about:

BREAKING: Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between all parties involved.

Sporting accept last bid from Arsenal for €63.5m plus €10m, agent will reduce his commission.

Gyökeres will sign five year deal at #AFC. He ONLY wanted Arsenal.

If this is anything like Zubimendi's transfer, he'll be signing that deal some time next June.
