ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[mcdowell42]

Arsenal have ‘advanced’ in negotiations to sign Gabriel Jesus & are close to agreeing a fee with Manchester City, ‘moving towards at least €50m’. Arsenal are favourites to sign Jesus due to his relationship with Edu Gaspar. [@brunoandrd, UOL] #afc https://t.co/csuFosRtsW

I know that 99% of all transfer speculation is total bu!!shit, but it worries the shit out of me that we are continually being linked with wingers when we have so many arseholes elsewhere

Slight amendment there dude!

You beat me to it, was going to post the same thing

Arsenal have formalised a €50m offer for Gabriel Jesus. Negotiations are ‘close to an outcome’, which should happen at the end of the season. Jesus’ move has been ‘sewn’ together by Edu Gaspar, at the request of Mikel Arteta. [@thirfernandes, Goal] #afc https://t.co/zv0BJ5sovu

£50m for gabriel jesus - banter season is getting going early this year

[augie]

Can I add that, as a guy that is against nketieh getting a new contract, I would rather sign nketieh on a new 4 year contract than sign gabriel jesus for £30m much less £50m - ridiculous idea

[GoonerMuzz]

Average of 1 goal in 3 at City, not sure that is what we need but admittedly it is better than Laca and Nketiah combined. Under Arteta we dont play in a way that suits Jesus, it is why I think Auba struggled so much. I really dont see Jesus as a target man but it looks like it is what we are getting, anyone remember those heady days of Wenger putting square pegs in round holes

And of course will be super motivated to be cast aside by a more successful club because that always works out doesn't it

Any more wingers we're being linked with today? We have been for the last six months and clearly that's what's so badly missing as evidenced last night

that would suggest Pepe is leaving and, if he does, a new winger/wide forward will probably be needed.

That’s what worries me about this summer. We already need at least 1 (probably 2) strikers and a midfielder + a left back as Tierney can’t stay fit. Adding a winger to that is a bit much.

I suspect a centre forward who can also play wide will be signed to fill both roles . Maybe that partly explains Gabriel Jesus

That would also explain why you used the word "wide" instead of the word "well" when talking about jesus

[rodders999]

Tielemans....yes please.

I'd also actually be for re-signing both El Neny and Eddie as fabled internal solutions because I just don't think we can go out and championship manager all our problems away in just one transfer window.

Tielemans with either a Tierney replacement or at the very least a proper back up at LB plus our main bit of business in getting a powerhouse striker that will get 20 league goals is all I can see us going for.

Adding the likes of Bissouma and a second striker to the mix and we're in wet dream territory especially if Xhaka fucks off (come on Jose you know you want to).

It hasn't really worked out for Balogun at Boro but who knows maybe he's ready to come back in and give us an option.

Sweet Jesus rodders - I know we cant "football manager" (hasnt been called championship manager in over a decade ) all our problems away in one swoop, but no fcuking way should nketieh be our second choice manager - seasons consist of 38 league games plus a number of cup games, and just cos eddie scores in 3 or 4 games at the tail end of the season does not make him good enough imo. I like the guy, and because he is homegrown I would love it if he was of the required quality, but the reality is that he isnt good enough to be second choice much less first choice

Can I also say that I have never been a big fan of this "I wont celebrate when I score against my old team" nonsense, but eddie not celebrating cos of a loan spell with those c.unts is absolute bollox imo

What??? Not called championship manager anymore? When the fuck did that happen? Game's gone mate

We started this season with 4 strikers - Auba, Laca, Eddie and Balogun - I just don't think it's realistic to replace all 4 in one window - or even 3 for that matter. I had great hopes that Balogun would flourish on loan at Boro but he's only scored 3 goals while there and sat on the bench for a lot of it. From reading reviews of his time there from Boro fans it seems that while there's definitely a player there he struggled badly with the physicality of the championship at times and was bullied out of a lot of games so I doubt he's ready to come back and fight for a spot with us.

With the amount of areas we need filling I'd sign Eddie as the back up striker and splurge all the wonga on a main man up top, Tielemans and a LB - after the absolute carnage Tierney's injury has caused to the entire defense - we can't have that shit happening again next season after he inevitably gets crocked again within 10 games.
