STM Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Saka would cost at least 100m He's got more about him than Grealish for example. There's zero chance that we would attempt to sign Saka. Give it a year and he will be Sterling's replacement at City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just now, HTT II said: 50-60m IMO I think the owners will want a poster boy type signing along with a marquee one. Saka is a perfect fit, young, English, great rep off the pitch, a potential national hero. I think we’d do well to get him for that money, more like 80m maybe, but what do I know. He’d be a fantastic signing, but honestly just can’t see it. Unless Arsenal want cash to rebuild and replace players- they’ve got a fairly thin squad as it stands. didn’t know about his NUFC connection though… https://www.arsenal.com/news/bukayo-saka-my-own-words Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 3 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: What did he say ? Howe says he will also play the loan market: “We had Matty Targett and that’s an example of how well the market can work. I’m certainly not against it, I love and have used the loan market in the past. It’s about getting the right player and if that means it’s a loan, it’s a loan.” “One thing I will say on the loans, it’ll be very similar to the Matty Targett, it’ll be with a view potentially to signing that player. They are the best loans because the player is invested in the club.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal do need money, they effectively gave PEA away just to get him off their books and they are looking to spend decent money in the summer, but need money from sales.

bowlingcrofty Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Saka’s dad is a massive NUFC fan. Would be nice if he ran down his contract for a year and we got him on the cheap next summer… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Why do people think we are signing Tarkowski? He's not really a ball playing centre back and he has played in a setup that sits deep, rather than presses higher up the pitch. Howe has also said he is looking to bring the age of the squad down. And at centre back we already just signed Burn at 29, and Schar is a similar age. I expect any signings in central defence will be 25 or younger. We need some youth in that position.

Stottie Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Using Arsenal as a feeder club has echoes of Man City. I like it! Saka is under contract till 2024, so he'll be top dollar. Almiron sold plus 70M? Saka is so good that its tempting to start playing mental games of fantasy football where you also sell ASM. My mental games of fantasy football include sacrificing Willock to get Paqueta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to be the face of that team for the next 10+ years, and an eventual Arsenal captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one is dead in the water, we wanted him in January for PL experience and to weaken a rival, but got Burn instead. Yes he will be on a free, but we need a quick and strong ball playing CB now, and that’s who I think we’ll target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I still think the immediate focus will be on outgoings before we make any signings. I’m hoping a few deals are already confirmed behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 So where we at now in terms of spend? Targett 13m Pacqueta 40m+ Saka 60m+ Thats £113m+. So far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club has decided that it's willing to improve any position, provided its the right player and the numbers make sense. Its not a out whether its 20m or 40m, its about whether the player is worth what is being asked. Lille and Sevilla took it too far with their centre halves. Lyon allowed Bruno to go for a fair price, which turned out to be a bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
