I should hope so mate, we pulled out of the deal once Madrid made it clear there’d be no purchase clause. Right now we need longevity in CM, Ceballos is a good player but doesn’t make sense to loan him for a season only for him to ether go back to Madrid or help Madrid make more dough for him next summer.

Pix won't mind any of that.

At the moment, Arsenal FC is on its knees with a begging bowl, and Pix knows that this beggar is in no position to choose. Pix will take anyone, no matter what the cost, and no matter how humiliating it will end up for his club. Just look at the debacle over Ka-Shell-Knee, their captain, and Woezil.

Is Arsenal more embarrassing than Chavs, at the moment? Very likely, I think.

So, yeah.

Pix will probably tell you that loaning Ceballos is a good thing.
 
Fcuking called it!
<laugh>

Called it after I'd already posted it you dozy ****nut <laugh>

And of course it's a good thing. You were ****ing yourself silly telling us how good he is after you and your lad had been scouting him for the last few years.
 
I have a suspicion you aren't skint but are buying squad fillers as cheap as you can by pretending you are, once you have those in the bag I think you may go after 1 or 2 big guns.

I have no real reason for thinking this, just a hunch.


<laugh>
You're joking, yeah?

Surely you are!

The Gunners are skint, mate.

They've been forced to grub around in the SPL for bargains, and even then Dick Emery gets told to fcuk off!
<laugh>

I'm really loving this window.

Ceballos could have made that 1 point difference last season <ok>
 
Also, it makes more sense for Palace to accept cash plus players, as Utd have got a 20%-25%? sell on fee. So Palace would be better off accepting a bid of around £50m plus 2 players, rather than a £70m cash deal where they have to give £15m back to Utd.

Clever but that’s not how it works, it’s figured out on the value of the sale. These contracts are not as flimsy as you may think, otherwise Arsenal could just buy a kid from Palace for £60m and get Zaha for free as part of the transfer.

It was a big part of the AWB deal, they wanted the Zaha clause removed, it’s air tight.

Yep did wonder if there would be a clause along those lines. It makes sense really. There’s no way we’re paying £70m for Zaha, but I can understand why Palace want that amount. The player had told them he wants out, so hopefully it will force Palace’s hand into accepting some of our deadwood along with a cash deal.

If it's also 20% sell-on fee of player value included in swap deals too then we're quids in if we can do it because 20% of the value of Elneny and Jenkinson is £0m.

Palace probably agree with those valuations like the rest of us do so I’d imagine it doesn’t help anybody.

Apparently they are interested in Jenkinson to replace Wan Bissaka <laugh>

I shouldn't be laughing, let's hope Woy ain't reading this.
