Transfer Rumours Saint Theo!

We’re not in a very good position to get a good deal, whoever we go for.
The size of the VD deal, added to our inability to score regularly, will have a lot of clubs playing hardball, knowing that we will become increasingly desperate to bring in new blood, the longer we struggle for wins.
Failure to beat Palace will probably add a few more millions to the asking price of any player we are already haggling over.

 

I want an early purchase to settle the nerves. This is a poor window to try to negotiate a deal....but this is the first January where we really need to do something.

 

Not to mention the basic fact that's in January.

I think the club have to accept that whoever they go for this month (not just Theo), they're almost certainly going to have to pay over the odds. But that is punishment, in you like, for failing to invest properly in the summer (or the summer before that!). It's pay a premium now, or risk much worse financial consequences come May.

Swansea are probably in a similar position with the Siggy money.

 

Tbf we really needed a striker last year...Our despiration is worse this year with the dreaded R word in the background

 

Pictured training with the gunners still.so all the itk twitter bollox is just that....bollox

 

We maybe got an extra £10+M for Virgil by selling in January rather than the summer so this to be factored into any purchase. If we had accepted £65m and then bought Theo for £20m, would that seem better value?

 

We should buy Theo and bolt on those bits of him that still work to the uninjured parts of Charlie Austin's body when he is fit and maybe we might have a complete, Frankenstein's monster of a forward.

 

Why the f*ck would he want to come here? Plenty of other clubs he could get first team football at that don't come with the risk of becoming a championship player next season!

 

Another reason we needed a new manager a fortnight ago. To give prospective players a hope.

 

Thats a painful rhetorical question to ask...

 

Theo named in tonight's match(albeit on the bench) anyone get the feeling Arsenal won't let him go this window.

 

Presumably after last night, Arsenal will now be asking for another £3million. (And I would normally suggest the player asking for another £10,000, but given Theo's links to us, maybe he wouldn't)

 

2 signing on fees in 6 months would be pretty nice.

 

Theo lives!

 

Watch him get injured now

 

Southampton are favourites to sign Arsenal’s Theo Walcott if the winger leaves the Emirates during the January transfer window, according to Sky sources.

It’s understood the situation is likely to become clearer in the next week with talks expected between the club and Walcott’s representatives although a deal is not imminent.

Walcott may consider wage cut to secure more games ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Russia.

 

As long as Sky Sources aren't not606 Doesn't sound imminent if it isn't even clear that he is leaving Arsenal this window.

 

Redmond?

 

Nice

 

Ralph?
