Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[OCD]

Actually, go and get Bissouma so that Brighton don't need to sell White!

Ramsey is not reliable, injury-wise. Would want a fortune in wages, too.

Correct and £400k pw currently

What ? FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK
are you sure.

[LukeJames]

Yeah I remember being flabogasted at the time he signed it. Ran his Arsenal contract down and then signed that huge contract at Juventus.

[eamonn]

He agreed to take Italian lessons though so...

Juve have been very prudent with the money and really we owe them the super league, it's their only hope.

Pretty sure he went on a free, so those wages are possible.

There was a period of time in arsenal’s history where they had Ozil, Ramsey and Sanchez all playing decent football (often world class). And all seeking new contracts.  Could they have got those decisions more wrong.  They ended up paying Ozil off and losing Ramsey and Sanchez for minimal income.

Yes, they made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

This bid for ESR….I don’t think we have a hope in hell of prising him away from Arse. But could it be a cunning plan to make JWP think he might miss out on a dream move to Villa and force the issue?

Don't think we do that. Think we just see players we like and lob money in their direction.

Yep, I get the impression that we identify a position we want to strengthen and then build a list of options for it and bid for 2-3 at a time and see what happens.

[N'ZMAV]

We should go for Chambers from Arsenal too. Cover for a few positions.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

It seems ESR needs to make a decision. Does he want to come and play for an ambitious Aston Villa team or does he want his career to peter out at a declining arsenal?

[N'ZMAV]

This deal could happen. Arteta might have to sell to buy.

Nooh, he's bloody awful.

[LukeJames]

I'd be surprised if it happened but for us too make an official bid I'm presuming we must of had some positive indication from his agent, granted it could just be his agent encouraging a bid to speed up his contract negotiation from Arsenal.
