If & when Chambers move to Arsenal goes through, likely Carl Jenkinson will leave on loan to gain regular first-team football

Anyways, if Schneiderlin is costing a bomb, then might as well move on.

Makes no sense to drop interest in Schneiderlin over price, and then turn attention to a player that'll cost €60mil. Laughing

At this point I genuinely believe Wilshere will be used as DM this season, if only because we won't dish out big money for proper one.

Yea same. I hope Sporting can budge over and sell us Carvalho for a decent enough price.

Or we could put in a cheeky loan bid for Kondogbia hmm

how about 35M in two payments for William C?
rather overpay for him than Schneid
younger,higher ceiling and more like a player we need

Chambers close to completion, fee above £10m, terms not finalised. Seen as versatile option RB, CB & more advanced if needed

Actually.. l really like the move if Jenk goes on loan. Chambers can play RB and CB, where as Jenk can't. l want to see him play more as well. Hope he goes somewhere to be a starter.

Also read few people saying Gnabry could be offered on loan to Southampton.

by Chumlum Sat 26 Jul 2014, 01:46

I have been a big, big proponent of William Carvalho coming in for a while now, before the reports and rumors even, just because he seems to tick off every single box we need ... but I really don't see it happening.

All hail the birth of DMJack. Let's hope it works. :bow:

by TalkingReckless Sat 26 Jul 2014, 01:47

3rd party ownership is gonna ruin our bid for Carvalho

by Chumlum Sat 26 Jul 2014, 01:55

Pogba is in New York ... hmm

by MJ Sat 26 Jul 2014, 02:16

@ArsenaIDan 19m
I'd pay £60M for Pogba.

£40M for his talent.

£20M for the reaction of United fans.

Well I'll be damned if that's not the most compelling logic...

by RealGunner Sat 26 Jul 2014, 02:20

He can pay those £60m himself

by El Gunner Sat 26 Jul 2014, 02:40

Pogba ain't even all that. Still lacks some consistency in his game.

Would be great if Gnabry goes on loan to a PL side. Just about the time when he should be getting regular game time.

by Twoism Sat 26 Jul 2014, 03:01

I dont get Pogba link, cost a fortune and he plays quite close to opponent goal which is not what we need.

by httredskins47 Sat 26 Jul 2014, 03:08

Sanchez-----------Walcot
------------Ozil
Ramsey------------Progba
---------Carvalho

by Twoism Sat 26 Jul 2014, 03:31

No physical upfront though and Pogba, Williams in one summer teehee

by Emaharg Sat 26 Jul 2014, 06:42

I would lose it if we actually got Pogba but I think there is 0 chance of it happening and if he did become available we wouldn't be able to compete for wages. Most realistic options are Bender, Carvalho and Schneiderlin would be happy with any of them.

Striker wise I doubt we will pick up a top class CF and most likely will stick with Giroud/Campbell and Sanchez/Walcott if needed.

by SamuelJayC Sat 26 Jul 2014, 09:50

Looks like Ospina and Chambers will join Alexis and Debuchy, then.

Delightful summer so far:

Szczesny
Ospina

Debuchy Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs
Chambers Hayden Vermaelen Monreal

Arteta Ramsey
Diaby Wilshere

Walcott Ozil Alexis
Chamberlain Rosicky Cazorla

Giroud
Podolski

others: Campbell, Flamini, Sanogo, Gnabry

It's clear from the formation above, that we still need reinforcements - mainly at CB and CM, and possibly up top, although I sense Alexis may become our main striker eventually.

A steady back-up centre-back and a powerful central midfielder (Khedira/Carvalho) or classy DM (Schneiderlin) to replace Arteta is a must.

First, some idle chatter about Wolfsburg's Maximilian Arnold:

Saw this image and it reminded me of all the dodged bullet signings in recent years, hyped players that we "missed out" on ...

by REWB Sat 26 Jul 2014, 19:03

We were never in for zaha i am 100% sure of this, this guy was NEVER impressive. He didnt even look good on youtube ffs, to me he looked like a poor mans gervinho. we didnt judge a bullet because we were never really interested.

but i am sure we have dodged many bullets in the past. i cant think of any at the moment though hmm
