Leazes_End_Mag Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Watford agreed a 5m fee for Gibbs. WTF? [emoji38] According to ESPN and a few journos on Twitter. It was on the radio today that Wenger had lowered the asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well, Rafa has signed 2 left backs which he has hardly used so I suspect he'd need to sell both before he could get a new LB in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Fucking £5m and we're not in there for him. I hope Rafa just doesn't rate him and didn't want him because that's a ridiculously low price in this market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 That's basically free in today's prices. I realize he'll be on fairly significant wages, but well worth a gamble at that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Name me a club that would have 5 left backs on their books? I'm sure if we get rid of a few them we'd be in for him and this is where are ridiculous squad size is causing issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if we get rid of a few them we'd be in for him and this is where are ridiculous squad size is causing issues Five? Dummett is our first choice and he barely passes as a footballer. Also he's out for three months. Gamez and Lazaar are out of contract next summer anyway, so it would be an understandable overlap. Well, for anyone normal.

Dave Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Ah yeah, sorry. Anyway, point still stands. Not that Haidara will be on much. And who's the fifth? Sterry? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if brought in Gibbs we would have 5 which would be ridiculous for a fullback position. We don't even have 5 strikers. It's a no goer in anycase, be surprised if we would pay his wages and even more surprised if he would want to leave to london. Still think a new LB will be dependent on shifting haidara and lazaar out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Another player along with Maguire and Gray who I was hoping we would sign. Obviously some of these players would be unrealistic for a few reasons - North East, club just coming up, personal reasons (Defoe) but just look at a team a combination of bottom half teams could field this season. These aren't your top 6 or Everton, these everyone of these clubs finished 11th or lower last season and 3 months or so ago when when the 70-100m was being talked about, you'd have hoped they would be the teams we could compete with -----------------------------------Begovic-------------------------------------- Zabaleta----------Zouma---------------------Maguire------------------Gibbs ------------------------Iborra--------------Chaloba----------------------------- Arnautovic------------------------------------------------------------------Jese ----------------------Iheanacho--------Hernandez------------------------------ Subs - Hart, Ake, Mooy, Defoe, Loftus-Cheek, Gray Just seen that Bournemouth actually finished 9th in the end, so you could draft in Hart if you were being pedantic but the point still stands, a lot of those clubs we would want to be competing with (before our tight budget became apparent) and I'd argue every single one of that XI would get into our team - I'd maybe have Shelvey ahead of one of those CMs but everyone else would have been a massive improvement. However we know that most will either cost £20+m or be on over £100,000 a week and ultimately out of our range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yet here we are signing Mackem flops, Stoke cast offs and bit part players from lat season for a whopping combined fee of £15m. Murphy looked a good signing - young, potential, affiliation to the club, but when you spend a net of £25m, a promising 21 year old, not guaranteed to start should not have been high up the list.

Village Idiot Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Rumor that we are on the verge of selling André Gomes to Juve for €20m. There's lots of deadwood that I'd clear before selling him, tbf. Deserved another season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Mignolet left out of the Liverpool squad today and not injured or ill apparently so looks like he'll be off somewhere and Liverpool will need another keeper Mirallas going back to Olympiakos too. Sure he could do better than that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
