Summer Transfer Rumours 2018/19

I don't like Licht. Never have and probably never will, but he's a fine full-back. Will probably come good for Arsenal.

playing full back is a young mans game these days. they need that speed and stamina.

When a club like Arsenal are looking to sign a 35 years old free agent you can imagine how tight the finances are lol. There won't be many lavish signing, if any. I suspect this is why they took Emery after 1 meeting, he might have been the only one who said "top squad, I don't need any signings" or something like that, they probably got hard when he said that. Arsenal count their sterling like Donald duck's richer uncle

Manchester United have made an early move to sign Real Betis midfielder Fabián Ruiz, according to reports in Spain. (Source: Sun Sport)

Why would Arsenal spend that much on a back-up right back, anyway? Bellerin is the first choice and they have faith he can get better. He's going to play every league game, fitness allowing. So they need someone for cups games and if/when Bellerin needs a break or is injured. You're looking at someone who's going to play less than 30 games during the season, maybe even less than 20. With other areas of the squad needing strengthening, you don't go and break the bank on a backup player.

There is money for big signings, but not so much money that we can make big signings for every position and every need the squad has.

Don't mind Nick, Jay.
Ever since the Emery appointment, I've noticed he likes taking digs at our club.

It would be stupid to spend 20-30M on a backup RB when you have more important areas to address. Dont know how anyone can criticize a near risk free signing tbh. Guy would be on pretty low wages too.

Arsenal linked to Benatia as well along with OM - (calciomercato)

Last summer i've got a feeling Benatia will join OM. Idk if it was based on something or just a wish.

Höwedes >>

i would argue that Arsenal actually need more competition per position to raise the level of the team, seeing how far you have dropped in the past two years compared to the competition.

Matteo Materazzi (Marco’s brother): ”Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in my opinion has already been sold for big money to a team, Manchester United.” #mufc [Calciomercato]

Seems legit

Imagine having an opinion about something that should be factual

Matteo on that good kush and alcohol

Gonna give Calciomercato a call and tell them Juventus are signing Phil Jones.

I called them to tell them Juve are signing Vincenzo Grifo but they didn't run it

i doubt a serious website such as Calciomercato will not bite those absurd rumors

only 2 times i've read about Vincenzo Grifo, it was in your posts linking him to Juve at first i even thought it was a made up name

The name wasn't made up, no

real player, good player

Ante Coric arrives in Rome ahead of medical with AS Roma. Roma has an agreement with Dinamo Zagreb for an initial fee of €7 million.

wow, what a signing

Juventus have made contact with Atletico Madrid for the signing of defender Diego Godin, who they see as a cheap and effective replacement, if Medhi Benatia leaves the club. [calciomercato]

Yeah, seems legit. Lets sign a player much better than Benatia, just in case Benatia leaves. I feel if the opportunity to sign Godin was available, it would be a reversed order

[CN24] Adrien Rabiot has reportedly asked his agents to negotiate a move to Napoli to reunite with Carlo Ancelotti, who handed him his professional debut back in 2012.

Not buying this one

Godin cheap ?

I hope you are not serious, they are no more reliable than the Daily Mail.

Pretty much everything posted from them turns out to be utter bullshit, if anything I'd argue the Daily Mail are more reliable.

Warrior wrote:Godin cheap ?

His contract runs to 2019, just don't see why Atleti would leave or why he would leave

The key word was "not"

A good example of it was posted just above, Calciomercato try to make believe Atletico will sell us Godin

My bad

Unreal editorial board, probably they steal Wi-Fi from the dentist that lives upstairs

I see they are running on low budget

Maybe this explains that

Unreal.

seeing that picture, I honestly believe GL could become a known outlet in the football media world, hell with our creativity and FIFA knowledge (@Kaladin) we would probably be kings of the bullshit merchants come transfer season too. Instead we're wasting our talents on a dead forum for a few up votes ffs.

Need an oil money injection like City and PSG from @Kaladin to get the venture underway though of course

Plus since we're a forum with users all over we already have our Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A experts ffs
