Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

[Jay29]

Arsenal have an initial £6mil bid for Cardiff's David Marshall rejected, according to The Daily Mail:

Meh. Isn't worth any more than that, and we shouldn't be spending much on a backup keeper.

John Cross of The Mirror reports that Wenger has contacted Zidane in an attempt to negotiate a deal for Morata; says that Madrid are demanding a buy-back or £25mil in straight cash.

Sounds like crap, tbh. £25mil for Morata

[VendettaRed07]

Just keeping throwing that figure around and we'll land a good back up GK

And if those are Madrid's demands.. Even though they are reasonable, I suppose, that deal doesn't suit us or our situation at all. Pass.. He's too raw to help out now. We need more experienced players

omg that pic

[RealGunner]

Marshall is not worth anything more than 5m

There are so many keepers out there who are better and would love to join us to even sit on the bench.

It's a shame Mickaël Landreau is retiring otherwise he would have been great.

About Morata

25m is far too much.

[RedOranje]

Vorm is likely available for £5m.

[MJ]

Too error-prone for my liking, Vorm.

[Kick]

Why not go for Stekelenburg? He'd be real cheap and would probably accept just to get out of Fullham.

He had a shocking season but is a decent GK.

[RedOranje]

Too error-prone for my liking, Vorm.

More consistent than Ochoa, at least. With a back-up keeper consistency isn't too pressing a concern so long as the manager can motivate them when they need to play.

A fair point but he just seems like he's so prone to losing composure while going for routine saves.

Still don't understand why we haven't been linked with Pantilimon. Decent and free. And younger than Marshall and Vorm. Not that that matters too much, only 2 years.

[Chumlum]

Maybe nothing reputable but various places are reporting/circulating that Nemanja Pejcinovic, recently out of contract at Nice since he wants European football, could be an Arsenal target.

Free back-up CB. 26 years old. Ligue 1 experience. I don't know too much about him. His WhoScored avg rating is high, but you shouldn't place too much faith in that. Profile kinda seems like a Wenger-esque signing though.

[RealGunner]

All these years of following ligue 1 football and I've never heard of him

Well as a 4th choice, he can't be worse than Squillaci.

Oh I'd be very careful about saying that about any defender

[MJ]

Wayne 'exclusive' Veysey claims City and Chelsea have made €35 million bids for Cesc and that Wenger was interested in bringing him back but, get this, he didn't want to pay over €30million.

Yeah. That's the reason.

[Jay29]

Wayne Veysey's "exlcusive" or David Ornstein of the BBC... who to trust.

In all seriousness, I don't doubt that there are financial reasons for passing Cesc up, but no way was it purely a financial decision.

This has to be BS. He plays for Nice and i've watched him play... he's average. He got benched .

So much loyalty in this picture.  

Spoiler:

[MJ]

Dear Deidre I have been dumped by Patrick, Thierry and Francesc, what should I do?

Read it, funny and insightful amid all this Cesc BS.

[MJ]

Also, the Mirror and Metro link us with a £17million move for Lorenzo Insigne. His agent calls it "an honor" to be linked with us. Goes on to say that Napoli view the Italian as a centerpiece for their project and it might be difficult to pry him away.

[RealGunner]

meh

Not better than Oxlade or Podolski. Although very high potential.

Rather we go for better players

[VendettaRed07]

Greizmann's release clause is only 8m more. Right?

Just sign him

[sportsczy]

Griezmann's clause is 31,6 mil pounds (39 million euros).

[urbaNRoots]

Can Griezmann play RW aswell as LW? I don't want him to take minutes away from Oxlade-Chamberlain but if he can play RW then he would definitely interest me.

[VendettaRed07]

ahh I thought it was 30m euros.

Still worth it.

Ox can play RW, LW, and wenger likes to play him centrally too. So I don't think Greizmann would take time away from him

[RealGunner]

I am pretty sure it's 30m Euros. Where did you get 39m from Sports?
