ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[Perryashburtongroves]

Exclusive: Leandro Trossard has agreed a new deal at Arsenal.

30-year-old will have salary increased to reflect valued role in squad.

Deal not extended - will still run to 2027.

Wtf is going on

Could very well be that he's activated bonus clauses in his contract or he had a pay rise clause in there when he first signed it. Seems like it's being announced as a reward and a show of faith in the player rather than just saying "He's got a decent agent and solicitor who made sure they got certain terms inserted in his contract and we have to pay him more now."

So it’s just his salary that’s increased not the length of the contract….that’s all a bit mental. I can’t say I remember that happening before.

Werder Bremen are readying a permanent approach for goalkeeper Karl Hein.

So there we have it - first confirmed injury and no shock its Havertz

This could be a blessing in disguise - whilst everyone is going ga-ga over Eze and Rodrygo, we have one CF currently trying to acclimitise to life in England and a bloke who was never the answer who is now injured

Go get a proper second striker, even if on loan, and trust Madueke, Dowman and Nwaneri to compete with the under performing Martinelli and Odegaard

[mcdowell42]

Now I can see why Trossard got a payrise,obviously they couldn't lose another attacking player due to this injury

Bringing in one striker when we had no others was always 'not enough' anyway. Most clubs have 2 or 3 strikers and we have one FFS.

The last thing I want to do is Jinx Big Vik, but what happens .. now that Havertz is injured and Big Vik aka: Glock14 also gets injured...

Leeds have a good manager but will still come out to Kick Lumps out of our Players...

Yet again Captain Black's inability to see the Whole Picture; only what he wants to see.

I don't care what team / club you are... You don't start " actively exploring transfer market" unless there is a strong possibility that they need a replacement for a player likely to be out Long Term..

Nicolas Jackson inbound... probably

God I hate this club at times

I heard there was a half decent striker at Newcastle, who is looking for a move at the moment.

It's not the club I Hate (sometimes or ever) Mantis but Certain Members of Staff... Like Xhaka or like Arteta....or Xhaka (Twice cos I REALLY "Hate" the Cǔnt - ALL The time) ...or Edu ... or ... etc etc If you see what I mean?
