Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

If & when Chambers move to Arsenal goes through, likely Carl Jenkinson will leave on loan to gain regular first-team football

[Jay29]

Lol Dean just tweeted and deleted that Southampton are asking for silly money regarding Schneiderlin, and we are looking at the possibility of Pogba

Anyways, if Schneiderlin is costing a bomb, then might as well move on.

Makes no sense to drop interest in Schneiderlin over price, and then turn attention to a player that'll cost €60mil.

At this point I genuinely believe Wilshere will be used as DM this season, if only because we won't dish out big money for proper one.

[RealGunner]

Yea same. I hope Sporting can budge over and sell us Carvalho for a decent enough price.

Or we could put in a cheeky loan bid for Kondogbia

[Sina]

how about 35M in two payments for William C?
rather overpay for him than Schneid
younger,higher ceiling and more like a player we need

i think Sporting want all up front, atleast the part they own

Chambers close to completion, fee above £10m, terms not finalised. Seen as versatile option RB, CB & more advanced if needed

Actually.. l really like the move if Jenk goes on loan. Chambers can play RB and CB, where as Jenk can't. l want to see him play more as well. Hope he goes somewhere to be a starter.

[RealGunner]

Also read few people saying Gnabry could be offered on loan to Southampton.

[Chumlum]

I have been a big, big proponent of William Carvalho coming in for a while now, before the reports and rumors even, just because he seems to tick off every single box we need ... but I really don't see it happening.

All hail the birth of DMJack. Let's hope it works.

[TalkingReckless]

3rd party ownership is gonna ruin our bid for Carvalho

[Chumlum]

Pogba is in New York ...

[MJ]

@ArsenaIDan 19m
I'd pay £60M for Pogba.

£40M for his talent.

£20M for the reaction of United fans.


Well I'll be damned if that's not the most compelling logic...

[RealGunner]

He can pay those £60m himself

[El Gunner]

Pogba ain't even all that. Still lacks some consistency in his game.

Would be great if Gnabry goes on loan to a PL side. Just about the time when he should be getting regular game time.

[Twoism]

I dont get Pogba link, cost a fortune and he plays quite close to opponent goal which is not what we need.

[httredskins47]

Sanchez-----------Walcot
------------Ozil
Ramsey------------Progba
---------Carvalho

[Twoism]

No physical upfront though and Pogba, Williams in one summer teehee

[Emaharg]

I would lose it if we actually got Pogba but I think there is 0 chance of it happening and if he did become available we wouldn't be able to compete for wages. Most realistic options are Bender, Carvalho and Schneiderlin would be happy with any of them.

Striker wise I doubt we will pick up a top class CF and most likely will stick with Giroud/Campbell and Sanchez/Walcott if needed.

[SamuelJayC]

Looks like Ospina and Chambers will join Alexis and Debuchy, then.

Delightful summer so far:

Szczesny
Ospina

Debuchy  Mertesacker Koscielny  Gibbs
Chambers    Hayden   Vermaelen  Monreal

Arteta   Ramsey
Diaby    Wilshere

Walcott    Ozil     Alexis
Chamberlain  Rosicky  Cazorla

Giroud
Podolski

others: Campbell, Flamini, Sanogo, Gnabry

It's clear from the formation above, that we still need reinforcements - mainly at CB and CM, and possibly up top, although I sense Alexis may become our main striker eventually.

A steady back-up centre-back and a powerful central midfielder (Khedira/Carvalho) or classy DM (Schneiderlin) to replace Arteta is a must.

First, some idle chatter about Wolfsburg's Maximilian Arnold:

Also, get a load of this:



Saw this image and it reminded me of all the dodged bullet signings in recent years, hyped players that we "missed out" on ...

[REWB]

We were never in for zaha i am 100% sure of this, this guy was NEVER impressive. He didnt even look good on youtube ffs, to me he looked like a poor mans gervinho. we didnt judge a bullet because we were never really interested.

but i am sure we have dodged many bullets in the past. i cant think of any at the moment though

[boyzis]

Guys I think this team is the best we have gad for some time now

[Sina]
