Henderson has agreed terms with us, just need to agree a price. I’d prefer Pope and hopefully we’re in for him as well. He’s wanting out of Man U regardless. 

If the quoted price of £40 million is accurate, it’s either a ripoff, or we’re really going to go hog wild on the spending. If we paid that for a keeper, imagine how much we’d pay for a statement forward?

We would never get Raphinha anyway, imo.

 

Probably have more chance of getting him now since that's ruled out Barca (and probably Bayern)

My guess is that the fee isn't correct. It might be 30 though.

 

I reckon we will loan him, with an agreed fee the following summer, with loads of caveats and clauses.

I suppose we’re hungry for English players if that’s true. I’m sure we could get, say….Alessio Cragno for a fraction of that price. Or Strakosha on a free.

Seems like Nketiah isn’t staying, wouldn’t be surprised to see him here.

 

Arsenal completely messed up his situation. What an end to the season he's had.

 

Just when he seems to be figuring it out they are going to lose him for nothing. No idea why he hasn't been getting more opportunities to play there, especially earlier this season.

 

Would be great timing to pick him up now if he ends up with us. Think he's looked class recently.

He was supposedly very close to coming in January and I’m guessing we have kept up contact with him.

Now you mention it, I remember reading Arsenal pulled the plug on letting him leave as they wanted to wait till the summer to get a new striker, but wasn't sure if that was true. Might have been due to that it didn't pan out then.

 

Where did you hear he was close to joining us?

Expecting a good amount of activity next week, more so in terms of outgoings. I think a few deals will already have been agreed.

Nothing close according to Howe on Friday

It was Luke Edwards who reported it, he was up in Newcastle a day or 2 before the window closed. At this point Arsenal expected to sign a striker but that didn’t happen so they blocked the move.

Had just come to terms with putting the phone and computer away and spending more time off it this summer. 

 

Ah well. Another year of my kids childhood around zombie dad. Lol

Lazy speculation on my end, but would be more surprised to see him here rather than Leeds with him having had a good season with them preivously and leaving Arsenal specifically due to not getting enough playing time, something we hopefully can't guarantee him next season.
