Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

They'll probably be Germany based for the most part since that's where most of Mislintat's connections are. We'll keep looking in France as well since we're well established there.

Did we make a mistake in letting Szczesny leave so easily?

by El Gunner Mon May 21, 2018 12:59 am

Yes, we could have had that sorted at this moment and not leave ourselves looking for GK as well.

But then again, Szczesny was very error prone, so there was justification to getting tired of his mistakes and trying to move on from him, or at least get someone who is better in so that he can still grow. However we probably should have let Ospina go and not him, since he always had more potential than Ospina, but then again Szczesny probably wanted starts and wouldn't have wanted to play back up to Cech so that's why we didn't put up a bigger fight to keep him, I can only optimistically assume.

It's a bit funny that Szczesny improved and progressed quite a bit ever since leaving Arsenal. Both Roma and Juve helped him fulfill his potential better than we ever could.

Tells you how much of an issue we had with our GK coaching. Glad peyton is gone.

Sad

Thank you Santi. :bow:

One of our best and most technical players we got since the move to the Emirates.

I still maintain if he was fit for the second half of the 2015-16 he would have steered us to the league title.

by Twoism Mon May 21, 2018 10:57 pm

We had at least two seasons of what could have been if he was fit. Such amazing player, a shame that maestro like him and Rosicky always injured and couldnt play more. He left as great player with lots of beautiful football moments.

by RealGunner Mon May 21, 2018 11:01 pm

Things may have been different if he was fit in the last 2 years.

Gave us a lot of great moments. Will always remember him fondly.

N'Zonzi-Lucas Torreira double pivot needed

by RealGunner Mon May 21, 2018 11:03 pm

You rate Torreira mate?

5'6 is a bit putting off tbh.

by Sina Mon May 21, 2018 11:12 pm

yeah not like i have watched regularly but really like him from what i have seen,combative ,good awareness,solid passer and excellent under pressure

by RealGunner Mon May 21, 2018 11:19 pm

suppose we do need a better version of Wilshere.

by Chumlum Tue May 22, 2018 2:57 am

Do you all think there's any chance of an Emery reunion with N'Zonzi or Krychowiak? (Not that the latter's stock is as high as it was a couple years ago.)

How much Would Kondogbia cost?asking for my Southampton and Watford supporting friends

Any idea how did Joel Campbell do this season?? He could fit into a 4-2-3-1 as a backup surely.

by Sina Thu May 24, 2018 3:33 pm

where is Fabinho moving to?
it seems None of City/Utd/PSG are after him
would be perfect for Emery

Only made 8 appearances, and had an injury for several months. He hasn't really lit up most places he's gone on loan.

More Seri murmurs, this one with the added news (or speculation) that Emery wanted to sign him for PSG this past season.

Arsenal in talks with Stephen Lichtsteiner about a free transfer:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/25/arsenal-talks-stephan-lichtsteiner-juventus-unai-emery?CMP=share_btn_tw

34-years-old and past his best, but could be a solid back-up for Bellerin that won't cost us a great deal, either.

Wow never knew he was that old Laughing

Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Switzerland right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer when the 34-year-old’s Juventus contract expires this summer. Lichtsteiner a long-term target who #AFC see adding experience/leadership to head coach Unai Emery’s squad #Juve #SUI
