BottledDog Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 To think we refused to pay £14m-£18m for him and decided to sign Riviere. Pretty sure it was less about our offers and more about him consistently having no interest in playing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Rooney to Everton been mentioned yet? Nice touch I guess to go back rather than off to China or such, however one has to question some of the romance when he has reportedly refused to take a pay cut, so it's going to be a loan move with each club paying half of his wages which is very odd. I wonder if it'll be the only loan move that stipulates he has to play for Everton against Man U, can't see him being so much better than anyone there he will be first choice anyway assuming they get a Lukaku replacement If hes not taking a significant pay cut Everton should let him just fuck off to China.

Impossibly Daft Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Well its been rejected, apparently £20m+ could get you a much, much better than Troy Deeney. Not anymore it doesn't. Have you seen the prices being quoted nowadays?! You can buy Javier Hernandez for £12m. Different type of striker - but a much, much better one and Leicester already have an identical type striker in Slimani that they spent £30m on last season. Hernandez might cost £12m but I can't imagine he'd want to sit on the bench and be the backup to Jamie Vardy. I think the logic of Troy Deeney is a player that combines the attributes of Okazaki and Slimani/Ulloa. arsenal should go and spaff £50m on bonucci or someone equally good and sign an utter monster (carvalho maybe) in midfield and they'd have good season if they keep sanchez in that setup shame that's what everyone has been saying for a decade Completely disagree. The problem with the current Arsenal side isn't anything like what people think it is. As opposed to 5 years ago, they now drastically lack technical ball players in central midfield, attacking midfield and wide playmaker. The positionless playmakers that became Arsenal's cliche have almost completely disappeared. Coquelin, Elneny, Xhaka, Ramsey in the centre. Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Welbeck, Iwobi as wide options. They basically have a load of sort-of destroyers in the middle (save for Ramsey, who flatters to decieve) and speed merchants out wide. I'm not necessarily saying any of these are bad players, but they're certainly not title winning decisive players. If they were to lose Ozil their squad looks desperately lacking in this area. Signing a world class centre back and midfield destroyer would improve them but nowhere near as much as people make out. They more clearly need an injection of flair, creativity and skill. And FWIW, there's absolutely no chance Bonucci would sign for Arsenal. I don't think those midfield options are particularly dreadful, but those wide players...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Controversial but i'm yet to see Lukaku do anything in the big and meaningful games. For 75m, i'd rather test the water at Spurs and place the same bid for Kane to see what response it got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 You'd of said the same about Bale. Money talks when it comes to Levy but I admit that I don't think 75m would force their hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
