Sky are saying we have signed Hayden permanently, so there's that.

I hope he's good Laughing

#Juventus : #AFC wanted €40m for Alexis Sanchez, then said he's "not on the market" https://t.co/4H8S4HaJgE #Chile pic.twitter.com/8wAwbxMVg1

Why would we want only €40mil in the current market? Laughing

If the club has sense they'd demand double that.

by RealGunner Sat Jul 09, 2016 7:26 pm

Probably some intern wanted a bit of fun.

or maybe we tried to play Sanchez's agent and made him think we would sell him to juve if he didnt sign a contract

Sanchez agreed to extend so i guess the bluff paid off

Speaking of Juventus, we should really try to sign Lichtsteiner if he is available. Would be the ideal player to compete with Bellerin, and he can learn a lot from Lichtsteiner too, in both attack and defense.

In the fine print maybe we can be sneaky and also insert a clause that gets us Dybala & Bonucci for the price a Big Mac.

Chelsea have made contact with Napoli to sign Kalidou Koulibaly. Arsenal are extremely interested but yet to make an offer. [@RMCsport]

Lyon chairman Aulas: I’ve met Arsene Wenger quite often during France games (at the Euros) but he has not spoken to me about this (an offer for Lacazette). So I don’t think there is something in it and it seems to that Lacazette wants to play with Lyon in the new stadium.

He wants a Champions League adventure that is far better than the previous one. I think he will stay with us and we are very happy.

Sounds about right

Inter have put Mauro Icardi up for sale according to his wife and agent Wanda Nara.

Offers worth €40m are apparently on the table.

We're not linked but here's another good striker we'll miss out on:

Just chill. That interview is fake.

Everton have made a new offer to Napoli for Koulibaly: €45 million!! Chelsea still interested too... #SkyItalia pic.twitter.com/pb5eAa785B

Is this a joke

by RealGunner Sun Jul 10, 2016 7:02 pm

I suppose Gabriel is good enough

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Jul 10, 2016 7:06 pm

Everton must know Stones is off, no way they would spend that sort of money otherwise.

Arda Turan. Yes or no?

by Sina Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:09 pm

by RealGunner Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:15 pm

NO

He is everything we need to move on from. Slow, can't score and his best position is in the middle. Not better than Ozil, Cazorla, Ramsey or Xhaka.

Not good enough for wings either.

by MJ Mon Jul 11, 2016 12:21 am

I guess Moussa Sissoko is good enough.

by Twoism Mon Jul 11, 2016 4:38 am

Turan is name only at this point, if it's Atletico Turan, I will go for him in heart beat but his Barca and Euro performance looked so out of gas and he has nothing else to offer apart from that " work rate" & " intensity".

Looking back at our transfer last 10 years or so, we never engage in lenghty saga ( except if we sell) big or small names, Wengers always wrap them up either in secret or with lightning speed. Going by traddition, all of these Lukaku, Laca, Morata saga will most likely end with us not getting anything from it. Struggling to think of any striker we could just smash snd grab right now.

Lacazette and Lukaku still unmoved.

Can't wait for Wenger to blame a lack of options for our lack striker signing.

This is the most depressing bit of reality I have been confronted with all summer.

Brb, need to find them anti-depressants. Monday morning joys.

Hayden to Newcastle now confirmed on our end. Hope he does well.

Good acquisition for Mole

The truth is even if we signed all those players it would not make a difference...as long as Wenger is in charge! Laughing

Goetze could probably be ripped out of Bayern with a good enough offer.

Go for it, Wenger. Proven German False-9/Playmaker/Messi-play-a-like to give Giroud some competition.

by Sri Mon Jul 11, 2016 4:20 pm

I would have paid a poud of flesh to take BVB-Götze.

I kinda hate him now. And even more so after his wonderful Euro performances. :/

That said, I would rather have him/Draxler to not adding ANYONE to our forward line at this point.
