Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

I don't know about Coleman. He is complete opposite to Sagna in playing style.

With Aurier you basically have a less costy Coleman but without PL experience. You decide if PL experience is worth £15m+ more.

by MJ Sat Jun 14, 2014 8:14 pm

Then you can remember how quickly Sagna adapted to the PL, basically needing no adjusting period at all coming from Ligue 1.

Cesc does not deserve to be regarded better than rvp is, that's official now. He's even worse IMO

I agree.

He was forced out of Barca, his first choice was us but we didn't want him, yes he could have signed for someone else but his family was settled in London, so I can understand his choice.
RVP was captain and spent ages talking about how he was committed to Arsenal and would start contract talks in the summer, then ran away to Man U.

its sad that none of those players from the baron years will retire as club legends .. well except for Rozza.

by VendettaRed07 Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:20 am

If we sign Balotelli, fill out the rest of the squad with loans and free signings for all I care lol

I just think he'd be such a beast in our system. I know peoples concerns but in terms of playing style and ability he is literally everything we want in a number 9.

by MJ Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:42 am

Aurier with some absolutely delicious crosses.

Looked very good in every aspect.

by Peccadillo Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:26 am

yeah - we should snap him up. Hopefully Ivory Coast get battered by Colombia so his price doesn't escalate too much. Today's game convinced me that he is good enough to fill Sagnas boots.

by urbaNRoots Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:41 am

Did he play RB or LB? I regret not watching that game.

by Peccadillo Sun Jun 15, 2014 10:09 am

RB - put in two expert crosses for the goals, very strong on the tackle, built like an ox and very quick

According to El Confidencial we want young RB Zaldúa included in the deal for Vela.

by Abramovich Sun Jun 15, 2014 10:18 am

I'd rather have Uchida then Aurier personally.

by Jay29 Sun Jun 15, 2014 12:30 pm

Zaldua looks to be one a rare case of a fullback who's good defensively but not as good going forward. Seemed to be a conservative sort of player from what I've seen of him. Was very solid for Sociedad the latter half of the season.

A bit inexperienced, though. Only broke through this season just gone.

you would?
I haven't seen much of Aurier, but I don't rate Uchida at all.

Legends without winning anything.
If the club had actually showed more ambition to win how many of them you think would have left?

by MJ Sun Jun 15, 2014 6:32 pm

That definitely excuses disloyalty.

This match is going to rule us out of the Griezmann race.

by MJ Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:18 pm

I don't think Wenger's been able to form a full sentence without throwing 'Griezmann' in there somewhere all night.

by Raptorgunner Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:33 pm

Griezmann, Benzema and Pogba, Wenger do it.

Money talks, if Wenger stops being a greedy man...we can have him.

If we do sign him, what happens to Santi, Podloski and Oxlade?

Reports are Santi wants to go to Atletico even after he signed a new deal with us. Podolski can't play 90 minutes for us and AOC can play either side when he's not on the training table.

Oh, and Wenger plz get us Aurier

by MJ Sun Jun 15, 2014 11:14 pm

Would be ludicrous to sell Santi after turning Cesc down especially when it would have essentially been an even transaction, we might have been making a profit as well.
