ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[StuartL]

I actually think Pablo Mari is a decent defender and a back-up leftie.
Everybody has a bad game. Ben White didn't start well either. I'm not convinced by him.
I'd have Saliba in there next year.

I believe there is more of a chance of me getting a shot at centre back next season than saliba has

I think Arteta likes him so he’ll get a shot next season.

What Augie ?

Youri Tielemans has just 18 months left on his contract at Leicester City & is not expected to sign an extension. Discussions have taken place with the 24-year-old’s representatives at London Colney in recent weeks to explore the situation. [@charles_watts] #afc

I like what I’ve seen of him (which isn’t a great deal as I don’t watch other clubs matches , I struggle with ours often enough )

Absolutely - imo he is exactly what you would want for the 8 midfielder playing alongside a cdm

Agree , it's all pointing to Xhaka leaving IMO in the summer.

Udinese are set to sign Pablo Marí on loan from Arsenal, deal almost done. Final details to be agreed then Pablo will arrive in Italy. #AFC

If Arteta reads this forum, I’m fairly sure he won’t like augie

Don’t understand why we signed him in the first place.

We had him on an expensive loan so surely that was enough information to decide on whether he was good enough? Why then sign the bloke and not play him? Weird.

Same with Cedric. Odd signings that I don’t think were done for purely footballing reasons

[wilson2.0]

Why do we loan players. Why not sell them. Apparently Pepe is a loan target for Milan. Im all for him leaving as there has been a renaissance in the team led by the new singings and the young players, I think the players who have been left in the dust by the should leave at the club should look forward

Chambers, Cedric, Leno, Kolisinac plus the loanees Torriera and Guenduzi (they are not coming back) - sell them. No ides what's happening with Saliba, I would also keep Elneny as he doesn't see to mind not playing.

although I can understand loaning Pepe. Lets say he takes to life in Italy and starts banging them in, then we are in a better position to negotiate a sale in the summer.

It was probably the basque reference that sealed my fate wasnt it ?

[Nos89]

How many more players do we want to loan out? If we're going to loan out Mari, Pepe and Chambers that leaves us desperately short in squad experience. Who replaces Saka if he got injured? What if White gets injured and Gabriel suspended?
Loaning out players has killed our midfield back up, leaving us to rely on an 18 year old when we have international players out on loan.
Whether people on here think they are good enough or not, we are leaving our squad vulnerable to injuries. Just because everything is good at the moment all we need is 3 long term injuries and we are well and truly stuffed. Arteta is playing a huge game of risk. We could've done with AMN to step in on Sunday and tonight.

Tip of the iceberg mate …. In fact, he’s probably sensitive about being called Lego head

Absolutely braindead the fucking lot of them. Turned a massive potential advantage against Liverpool (no Mane and Salah, plus everyone else out last week) to an almost certain defeat by packing off half our team at the same time as the AFCON and COVID cases

If we get slammed tonight then he had better secure a top four finish. Not that it will appease me but I'm in a small minority who couldn't give a shit about qualifying for that thing.....but I appreciate for commercial reasons its what the owners want, and also what 90% of our fans want

It's only AMN who's not available from last week ?

[mcdowell42]

Arsenal have accelerated talks to sign Arthur Melo on loan in the past few hours.

He’ll have to be registered by midday tomorrow in order to be involved against Tottenham on Sunday.

From last week yes, but knowing we would have Partey and Elneny away for a month, whose bright idea was it to send AMN on loan too......at a time of the year when COVID is ripe and when Guendouzi and Torreira were already packed off??!! Now we're scrambling around trying to get emergency loans when we have 3 players loaned out ourselves - one done only last week. Braindead
