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...

KaKa Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Rennes have contacted Chelsea about a move for Loic Remy, according to L'Equipe. Totally forgot he existed. The guy just wasted away on their bench the last few years. Terrible stuff considering his talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
