Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[charlatan]

I've been more impressed by Guendouzi than Rice over the last couple of years, but I'm wary of the negative influence hotheads can have on morale.

If we can somehow get Tammy back. Yes please! Doubt it will happen though, chelski would be mad to sell him.

[Shrek]

I think I’d genuinely rather have Benteke back instead of Wilson.

Since the first game of 2017 season Benteke has scored 6 premier league goals, Wilson scored 30. Each to their own I guess!

Tbh the point I was making is I don’t want either.

And I have sort of persuaded myself I really want Watkins, when in reality I’ve hardly seen him play.. I’ve just seen so much good stuff said about him, it’s made me think he will succeed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Christian Luyindama (Galatasaray defender)

No new link but he is now fit again and "Christian Luyindama is a versatile player, who can also play as a defensive midfielder and forward"

He's a big unit and could be a good plan B if the price was right and we were linked with him in both last summer and winter transfer windows.

We were linked with him in January.  Looks a decent player and certainly a unit.  Good passer of the ball.  Swap for Samatta once we have the elusive centre forward in place?

A defender who can play defensive midfield or upfront? If he can play in goal as well he will be a dream signing. 

the new Chris Samba

or Paul Warhurst - wasn't he one who could play almost everywhere?

On the contrary, I think he's exactly the type of player they'd sell. He's the epitome of what their loan system should produce.
No initial outlay to buy him, decent loan spells out, given a long term contract, does a job when recalled, capped into the bargain, pushed down the pecking order by a cheque book signing, now available at the right price as a proven PL & international goalscorer.
He'll be available, but they'll look to recoup most of the Werner outlay with his fee. Kerching, as their accountants would say.

if we want 4 or 5 players -  then I don't think we can splash £50 million on Abraham - unless we are going to sell a few of ours, to get some more money into the club???

[Risso]

Yep, Blackburn wasn't it who shoved him up front, and he responded by banging them in on a regular basis.


edit: Sheffield Wednesday actually.

yes, like Ricardo Scimeca

Sheffield Wednesday moved him from centre back to striker. Blackburn bought him, I thought as a bit of vanity signing, and played him in midfield where he got injured a lot.

[JUAN PABLO]

Arsenal seriously need  to trim their squad , I can not see them going for Benrahma .


Still would not be suprised If we go for him.

[Brazilian Villain]

yes, like Ricardo Scimeca

Or Allan Evans.

[WarszaVillan]

And Dion Dublin

And Chris Samba that time

*shudder*

[ozzjim]

Steve Walsh, Matt Elliott, Chris Sutton. I miss the days of a big centre half playing up front.
