Apparently, we want Alaba and Umtiti for the summer. We would fix out defence with these 2.
Do you really have the budget for those two?Apparently, we want Alaba and Umtiti for the summer. We would fix out defence with these 2.
Definitely not. We're supposed to have around 50 to 80m if we manage to qualify for the Champions League. I could see Alaba moving for around 35/40M but Umtiti would cost a bomb and he probably would not choose Arsenal.Do you really have the budget for those two?
Especially when you definitely need a new winger in addition to that.
What makes you think Alaba would go for 40 million?Definitely not. We're supposed to have around 50 to 80m if we manage to qualify for the Champions League. I could see Alaba moving for around 35/40M but Umtiti would cost a bomb and he probably would not choose Arsenal.
On top of that we already need to replace Cech (Martinez ?), a left back with Monreal being on his last legs, some cover at RB with Liechsteiner not being renewed and Bellerin who will probably miss the start of the season. And as you said we've been in need of a scoring winger forever. Oh and we're losing Ramsey so add a box to box midfielder to the list.
In an ideal world i would get Mustafi, Mikhi out and get Alaba+winger+Ramsey replacement. I'm afraid we're going to have to be creative again and grab some potentially good players on the cheap and hope for the best.
Contract expiring in 2021, has been a good servant to the club, Hernandez could be taking some game time from him. I don't feel like they would play hard-ball with him if he asked to leave but i might be totally wrong. How much do you think he'd go for ?What makes you think Alaba would go for 40 million?
Certainly more than 40 million and he certainly would not move to Arsenal if he was available.Contract expiring in 2021, has been a good servant to the club, Hernandez could be taking some game time from him.

Well, that's your opinion, maybe he wouldn't. He said he was an Arsenal fan in a recent interview and that he might want to try Spain or England. Barcelona is set, Madrid could be an option if they ditch Marcelo. If he prefers the PL then i don't think United, City or Liverpool are in any need for a leftback. Chelsea could use one but who knows what the club will look like come summer, they might have more urgent positions to fill.Certainly more than 40 million and he certainly would not move to Arsenal if he was available.
Of course not, need to sell some deadwoods and maybe even Ozil, if necessary.Do you really have the budget for those two?

The usual bullshit transfer rumours out early this year, season ticket renewals must be coming up soon.Apparently, we want Alaba and Umtiti for the summer. We would fix out defence with these 2.
Exactly my thoughts. Throw out a few names in the positions the fans have been clamoring about and realistic or not, some will get hope.The usual bullshit transfer rumours out early this year, season ticket renewals must be coming up soon.
yup same old same old. Don't know how much we have and it likely depends where we are sitting at the end of the season I suspect. If we send Mustafi packing and bring in a quality CB, I will be reasonably happy. A winger could not hurt either. Have to say Emery had a great first transfer summer. If he has one like that again, there is reason for optimism.Exactly my thoughts. Throw out a few names in the positions the fans have been clamoring about and realistic or not, some will get hope.
Fair point. Alaba would be too much for us.The usual bullshit transfer rumours out early this year, season ticket renewals must be coming up soon.
Arsenal won’t sign them. It’s just the usual “need to sell season tickets” guff. They’ll more than likely end up with Bumtitty and Albert from the ass end of the French second division.Do you really have the budget for those two?

I highly doubt we have any money to buy either of them, or any player cost more than 40M. Given the transfer record of late we won't get much money selling our "deadwood" either. It is a waste of time to discuss our transfer for the summer. Arsenal can't afford the transfer fee or the wages for top player in nowadays market.Apparently, we want Alaba and Umtiti for the summer.

Pellegrini, Brandt, Sarabia, Fornals and Suso are all available for £30m or less.I highly doubt we have any money to buy either of them, or any player cost more than 40M.

Based on the customary 5 min youtube compilation he looks promising. Smart movement, quick feet and decisionmaking. Might be able to contribute in the first team next season.Apparently Arsenal will sign a Brazilian winger called Gabriel Martinelli(17). He will get an Italian passport in the next weeks so i dont know how the work permit will apply. He is a very promissing prospect, one of the best of the U-17 generation and a lot of clubs are showing interest. He plays for a very small club but managed to be better than players of big clubs all the time.
No, Chambers is the one that needs to be binned.Elneny, Ozil, Holding should be sold.
Both?No, Chambers is the one that needs to be binned.
Enjoy 5th/6th for another seasonArsenal won’t sign them. It’s just the usual “need to sell season tickets” guff. They’ll more than likely end up with Bumtitty and Albert from the ass end of the French second division.
I believe Holding can make it, and since we're not going to buy two 75M CB he's worth keeping around. On the other hand Chambers has never convinced me, stil has a lot of mistakes in him and going to Fulham might not have been the best idea.Both?
Our squad will be paper thin after release and sell all these players.Pellegrini, Brandt, Sarabia, Fornals and Suso are all available for £30m or less.
With Ramsey, Cech, Welbeck, Jenkinson, Monreal and Lichtensteiner leaving, this should free up £500k for wages. Still stuck with Ozil (Similar to our problem with Sanchez) on £350k per week until 2021.
Elneny, Ozil, Holding ++ should be sold.
Reiss Nelson coming back after a great loan spell in Bundesliga, will be like a new signing.
If you get Luis Campos as the DoF (linked to the job among other candidates) then you might have an exciting summer ahead of you.
Where did you finish last season? And where did Utd finish?Enjoy 5th/6th for another season
Whoa.. Pot. Cattle. Black..Enjoy 5th/6th for another season
You'll probably end up as one of the best defence in country with them both together.Apparently, we want Alaba and Umtiti for the summer. We would fix out defence with these 2.
Would say this too. And as it’s happens I had an email off them Friday about whether I’d be interested in taking a season ticket for next seasonThe usual bullshit transfer rumours out early this year, season ticket renewals must be coming up soon.
Only 26, turning 27 in a couple of months. He’s one of those players you feel has been around forever, but is not as old as you’d think, because he debuted and became a fixture in the 1st team at such an early age for a top club. Said he was an Arsenal fan growing up, but no way this rumor goes through given the current state of the club.Isn't Alaba too old?
Wow, didn't know that. I only remember Pep ousting him after 2014.Only 26, turning 27 in a couple of months.

We will link to Mbappe, Dembele, Varane, Couthino and Rabiot in the upcoming month. I have seen this in the past 10 years already.Would say this too. And as it’s happens I had an email off them Friday about whether I’d be interested in taking a season ticket for next season
Maybe if he wasn't made of cheese string there'd be a chance, but I think Arsenal would be fools to not want to replace him as an absolute priority. A CB & a winger first & foremost, surely.Can Kos be expected to have 1 more decent year in him? We still need a CB but maybe it is not as bleak as it looked before he came back.
We often played our best players, but okay.Emery has played second string in the Europa League all season.
I haven’t seen anything this season that suggests they have progressed from the Wenger years.
