Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

[Jay29]

We really should be all over that if true, but we'll be put off by the price and watch him join City, Chelsea or United instead.

[Eman]

My excitement level for this window has gone from 10/10 to -43/10. If it could just close now so that our rivals don't strengthen even further while we twiddle our thumbs and sign players significantly below the caliber we initially were going after, that'd be greaaaat.

[Sina]

CF IS priority
but if the price is right i would take him

[RealGunner]

Actually would prefer a CB first imo.

[Sina]

Marquinhos/Rugani most likely wont move
Stones most likely to City

Koulibaly or bust

[RealGunner]

sadly Koulibaly is off to bayern.



Christopher Samba is a free agent.

[RealGunner]

IF Chelsea don't mind selling him to us, would you take Diego Costa at Arsenal?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

sadly Koulibaly is off to bayern.

Seriously? don't they have enough lol?

[Kaladin]

So Costa said he wants to go back to Atleti

Bacca wants CL football, Atleti and West Hamout of the picture

Arsenal needs to drop that there 20m and get it done

[RealGunner]

You seem to be desperate to get rid of him


10m + bonuses

[Kaladin]

Nah he's actually legit, came here on an empty promise, only thing i don't like is his behaviour, akin to Ozil last year at Madrid when he threw temper tantrums

Will fit in at Arsenal imo, 20 goals scored with the likes of Honda, Bertolacci, Kucka etc imagine if he had Ozil, Sanchez, Xhaka, Cazorla etc

25m pls

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Cheeky 5m bid imo.

[MJ]

Would be more than happy with Bacca. Great all-around striker. One of the most clinical finishers in Europe.



Then there's stuff like this

@SkyKaveh 1h1 hour ago
Presenter on official Napoli radio station says Gonzalo Higuain “will almost certainly join Arsenal for €50m plus Olivier Giroud”

Sign Higuain and then get Bacca to replace Giroud?

[Jay29]

http://sportwitness.co.uk/napoli-radio-higuain-will-go-arsenal-club-associate-station-says-deal/

Seems it's not as clear cut as reported.

However, Area Napoli carry some comments, which we assume are from the same segment, of Marciano saying: “I state that Napoli wants to try to retain Higuain, offering a renewal. When selling Pipita, he will go abroad, Paris Saint Germain and Arsenal the most likely destinations. I’m sure that he will not go to Juventus. I know that the English club is trying to raise money by selling Koscielny for €50m.”

That bold part is total rubbish.

[MJ]

Lol, like we need to sell anyone to raise €50 million. Like we need to sell our best defender and most obvious choice for captain. Utter crap.

[RealGunner]

ffs pls Higuain

[RealGunner]

If Giroud is in the deal then get Mahrez too. He can provide the goals from wide areas if not behind the striker.


GK - Cech, Szczesny/Ospina

LB - Monreal, Gibbs/new
RB - Bellerin, jenkinson/new
CB - Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Chambers, new

CM - Wilshere, Ramsey, Xhaka, Coquelin, Cazorla

AM - Ozil, Ramsey, Mahrez, Cazorla, Wilshere, Oxlade, Iwobi

LW - Sanchez, Walcott, Oxlade, Mahrez, Ozil, Iwobi

RW - Mahrez, Walcott, Oxlade, Ramsey, Ozil, Iwobi

ST - Higuain, Sanchez, Walcott

[Chumlum]

Berbatov is a free agent

[RealGunner]

Sky in Italy: If Higuain wants to go, Napoli would rather negotiate with Arsenal. Will not negotiate with Juventus. Price for Juve is €94m

[Chumlum]

There's no way Higuain will happen.

He's a terrific player, I'm sure Wenger would like to have him, I would like to have him now, and I definitely wanted him a few years ago.

But it's just not going to happen. Let's focus on the Baccas and the Mahrezes.

Also, IF Higuain DOES move--anywhere, Juve, Arsenal, wherever--he's going to be so hugely expensive that a substantial portion of people will inevitably call him a flop unless he scores 50 goals in a season.



(If I am wrong, I will atone for my disturbing lack of faith by changing my avatar pic to a picture of Higuain.)

[Lex]

The idea that we have to sell our best centre back just to make up some money to buy more players

We're not paupers ffs

[silver]

Kante joining Conte at Chelsea.

Ibrahomivic, Mkhtaryan and Mourinho at United.

Gungogan, maybe Stones with Guardiola at City.

Meanwhile Klopp and Pochettino doing good things at Liverpool and Spurs.

I know we say this every year, but I truly think this season we will finish outside the top four.

[Hapless_Hans]

Thought you were going to turn a new page and sell Walcott?

[MJ]

Thought you were going to turn a new page and sell Walcott?

You don't decide you're fed up with Walcott. No, he decides when he's done with you. He's been at the club for ten friggin' years. He'll be here for ten more if it pleases him.

[MJ]

DiMarzio reports that Arsenal have contacted Mauro Icardi's entourage. They will meet in London but Icardi will have to request a move if Inter are to sell him.



He's an awful person but I'd be behind this.

[RealGunner]

Great finisher but nothing else to his game. Hope we keep Giroud lol.
