Other clubs' transfers


Recommended Posts

50m. Fucking delighted we weren't near him. Wasn't he mooted to come to us for nearer 30m last year? Madness inflation.

 

Shame Forest are being gutted. Canny signings for Spurs though. Kudus and MGW are fantastic additions.

Arsenal love buying questionable players from other big 6 teams mind. Jesus, Zinchenko, Havertz, Sterling on loan etc. 

 

Seems slightly odd to jump from one team where your not obvious first choice to another where it’s the same situation.

Suddenly not feeling so bad about the Elanga fee.

 

And I really like Madueke but always thought he'd be available for £30-35m  [emoji38]

 

What does he even bring to Arsenal? Good music to the subs bench?

Think next year is going to be pretty wide open for the league. Lots of interesting signings all round. 

 

Just need to get the 4/5 players we need to keep up. 

Agreed, Spurs have gone for it. Man U are trailing hard though. Chelsea have strengthened but will face similar problems that they have every season of integration. Man City should be way stronger but fuck knows what’s going on there. If Arsenal don’t get a quality striker they don’t have a chance at the league title. I think Liverpool will drop off this season, there’s no way Salah repeats his level from last season. Forest will massively drop off. Bournemouth might drop a little and I think Villa will drop a little too. Think it’s very hard to call but Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are all on paper to finish top four with Spurs on paper around there too. We’re currently outside of that group unless we can make at least three more key signings and even then our squad depth is weaker than all those other teams

Can he play left wing? Very strange signing as a right winger as they have Saka and that Nwaneri breaking thru on the right

I'm not sure if they think they're weakening their rivals or not. Surely he won't start for them?

Weird one. First of all the fee seems £20 million over market value given  that it's obvious Chelsea really need sell attacking players, especially the ones with a big PSR upside. Also while I like him as a player I don't see him starting for Arsenal or particularly improving them.

 

Ultimately I'm ambivalent. It's good that Arsenal, a rival for Champions League and the Premier League (yeah, that's the pool I think we're swimming in now), look to be spending a load of money to not really improve. However, Chelsea are making a bunch of money and that fecks me off. That club cannot turn into one giant bin fire soon enough for me.

Maddison, Kulu (who I'm told is not an RW anymore) and now MGW?

Are they trying to be another Chelsea?


Maddison is currently injured and generally injury-prone. Kulu’s injury was apparently very serious and he still might miss a few more months.

I think Frank gets them back competing for a top 6 place this season, then the following season competing for top 4. Ange was a clown.

 

I hope so. He does have his work cut out though and I just can’t see us being able to maintain a strong challenge in both the PL and the CL.

All done it seems, that was a quick one. Imagine the serotonin hit from a transfer going that quickly :lol:

 

 

 


Christ yes. I’ll not get over-excited until it‘s confirmed - we’ve been gazumped a ton before - but I got home very late from work and only just found out. We didn’t have a clue. Business under Lange et al has been kept under wraps incredibly well for the most part. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m kinda buzzing.

Solanke, Maddison, Richarlison, Son, Tel, Odobert,Kulusevski, Johnson, Kudus, Gibbs White

 

That's a lot of money and wages on purples for attacking players

 

 

 

 

As somebody else suggested, I fully expect Richarlison and Son to leave. Tel and Odobert (and arguably Johnson) are developmental players who I hope will start to make a serious impact in a couple of years. Hoping that Frank’s penchant for flexibility means they will all play a role this year.

Ugh. Spurs actually gonna be good this season. Hate that the got Champions League after being so poor for most of the season. 

 

Still to be seen. Frank started very slowly at Brentford, and we were shite for much of last season. Can see the CL having a debilitating impact on the team but we’ll see.

MGW will seriously affect Maddison’s game time.

 

I bloody well hope so. Maddison is a bit too fragile to carry the load all the time.

Madueke, Kudus, Elanga, Gittens all gone for circa £55 million. Mad market.

It puts Anthony Gordon at 80M. I doubt any of the others have scored against all of the Sky 6. Big players score in big games.

50M above our book value would create massive PSR headroom, say for Ekitike and Garnacho?

Garnacho? No thanks.
