ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

I can’t work this out. So at left back we have Zinchenko at the club and that’s it.

Absolute banter club.

Getting rid of Tierney is a mistake

I guess he's thinking Kiwior, Tomi, Timber and Raya can play there?

Why wouldn't he accept? He's been treated disgracefully.
You'd think he had been behaving like Aubameyang the way he has been treated.
There will now be no proper LB in the first team squad

SOURCE BBC:

Brentford have put an £80m price tag on England striker Ivan Toney, 27, with Arsenal and Tottenham interested in signing the player in January once he has served his eight-month ban for breaching gambling rules.

Arsenal are close to reaching an agreement with Real Sociedad over a season-long loan for 26-year-old defender Kieran Tierney.


The Gunners have agreed a fee of 45m euros (£38m) plus add-ons with Monaco for the sale of 22-year-old United States striker Folarin Balogun.

I'll still be sad to see him go.

Just had a text from an old friend now working in London Sports Media: Arsenal strongly looking at Peer Shuurs, also Arsenal have made inquiries about signing Toney (when his suspension is up), Toney has changed his agent who is understood to also represent some members of the Arsenal squad. ?

It seems that villa's move for seville's left back is off cos he has suffered a hamstring injury - maybe Dick will come back in for Tierney now ?

I'm not suggesting that Gabriel is irreplaceable or world class or anything, but I am saying that I would tread very carefully about replacing him unless the new centre back was proven top quality - Gabriel clearly has a good partnership with Saliba (you can see the way they celebrated together when Gabriel made block in last few mins of palace game), and there are dynamics in a dressing room that need to be accounted for when making a decision like this. I cant shake this feeling that arteta is meddling too much with this team and the whole thing is going to blow up in his face - you can replace any player with a proven top quality player and the dressing room will automatically welcome the new player in, but replacing or squeezing out popular players like ramsdale, Tierney and gabriel is very risky imo when the replacement is unproven

Mikel Arteta: “Gabriel Jesus? He’s ready to go, yes”. #AFC

“Exits? There are some movements happening. The last week is going to be busy. Nothing that we can announce at the moment”.
