Why aren't we in for Illarramendi hmm

Where does his current value stand?

by RealGunner Tue Jul 21, 2015 12:50 pm

Arsene probably doesn't like him

by Sri Tue Jul 21, 2015 12:53 pm

I thought we would be all over Illara if he was available. After all those links in the winter window. *sigh*

Because he's not very good.

In an era where a 'young English CB' for 4th choice costs 26m quid and nobody bats an eye. hmm

I rate him. hmm

Lad's still young. Can still improve, as he'll be understudy to Coquelin. Which is something we don't have.

It'd be a bit pointless to go from Madrid's bench to our bench.

I don't even know if Madrid are selling. Benitez will probably want a look at him during pre-season.

by Sri Tue Jul 21, 2015 1:05 pm

Doubt Benitez will sell him tbh.

DMzema however hmm

Would any of you be happy with Muller?

Thomas Müller of Bayern? Definitely. But depends on conditions : as a replacement to Theo Walcott at a resonable price (not 100m€!!), why not. However, there is more likelihood of me having triplets with Emma Watson than that happening I guess hmm

by Highburied Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:06 pm

Müller is world class but come on, Wenger aint having a medical for paying that price.

by MJ Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:10 pm

Thomas Muller is incredible but there's no reason for Bayern to sell so he'd cost enough for us to have to mortgage the Emirates.

by Sri Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:27 pm

You're undervaluing the Emirates tbf hmm

Mainly because Stones can be that good and besides it's Chelsea Laughing

AS Roma are interested in Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny with talks ongoing between the two clubs. [Sky Italia]

Wouldnt mind if its permanent!
so much for learning from Cech

by Sri Tue Jul 21, 2015 5:40 pm

Would rather not tbh. The one big advantage he has over Ospina is knowing the Arsenal and PL inside out. Would be sad to see him leave. Loan for game time, in PL preferably, would be a good option.

A loan at Spuds as Lloris's understudy would definitely teach him some humility. Also, #AgentSzcz Laughing

by Highburied Tue Jul 21, 2015 5:40 pm

15m would be a good business imo.

I know hes a gunner through and through but didnt live up to his expectations.

Plus, we can always find good goalies

by Jay29 Tue Jul 21, 2015 5:41 pm

It doesn't make much different whether Szczesny or Ospina leaves. It's not like we'd be without a good number two keepers.

And being realistic, if Cech performs half as well as we expect him to for the duration of his contract, Szczesny not going to get many chances anyway and would probably ask to leave before too long.

Perhaps it would be better to start investing in another young keeper - Emi Martinez, or somebody new.

by MJ Tue Jul 21, 2015 5:42 pm

I really don't like short GKs so, while Wenger can't go too wrong either way, I'd still prefer to keep Szczesny. Added bonus that he's homegrown.

Not sure who this Hayden fellow is but i'm going to say he's worse than Justin Hoyte hmm

I think it is a big call about who we keep - you're underplaying it a bit here.

Either will benefit from all that Cech can teach them. Szczesny, for example, only really had Lolmunia and later Flappy to learn from. I think that played a role in him not being all that we thought he would be. His recent off-field antics aside, I still believe he's got it in him.

We had some good shoutouts in the youth setup, last I remember. Illiev, etc.

Can't compare when you aren't sure m8. :coffee:

He's been with the youth/reserves and also as captain at that level. He has been injured a good while recently though. He should be 5th choice right now though.
