Albrighton and Burnley would certainly be a nice fit, i wouldn't want to lose him, as still feel he has a role to play here, though it would probably be a smaller role than one with Burnley, so wouldn't blame him for going either, probably getting a few more years on a new contract.



What i like about these signings is the positive words from the previous clubs fans, its always a good way to measure any new talent coming in.

The only thing, especially with Daka, is that this is a fairly big step up from the Austrian Bundesliga, would probably have had the same reservations about Edouard as well, as there aren't many from Scotland who cement their place in the prem.
Daka seems to have the higher ceiling. He’s had a similar record in Austria to Haland which is an excellent sign! He’ll probably need some settling in but hey, he may do a Little Wes and hit the ground running.
 
Suggestions Arsenal want to pay £70m for Maddison. I’d take that. After Daka and Soumare’s fees taken out we’ll still have £30m to buy either a right winger or centre back. I don’t think we’d suffer from losing Maddison, with Barnes still to come back in and it would give Praet more game time which wouldn’t be a bad thing. Plus Dewsbury-Hall could be bloodied so we can see if he’s up to it.

Maddison on form is an excellent player, the injuries have masked how good he is since the start of the Pandemic, but if someone has to be sacrificed for the greater good of the team, i'd probably say Maddison or Tielemans, whoever has the higher value, probably Maddison given his contract length.

Would be happy to have no more ins and outs as well, but selling would probably mean we can fix that wonky RW tyre we've been riding on for a couple of seasons now.
 
If Everton take Perez they have learned nothing! He just isn’t of the level that Everton and ourselves aspire to, nothing against him, he works hard and seems honest but Newcastle was his level really.
 
As much as I'd like it to be true I reckon it's just lazy journalism linking Perez to one of his old managers, fingers crossed though!
 
The Gunners are willing to offer Leicester City a number of players - including 21-year-old English winger Reiss Nelson - as part of a deal to sign England midfielder James Maddison, 24. (Mail)

Honestly why would we want that?
 
Part exchanges are never a good idea when the team buying offer players to the team selling. I’d take £60-£70m for Maddison but then go for who we want.
Probably all paper talk anyway.
 
Arsenal wouldn’t offer to lose anyone they value simple as. If for example, it was Saka on the cards I’d go for that or even Smith-Rowe although that’d take more cash on top.
 
I dont think we will sign anyone else unless there is a major sale. At the moment we have spent $40mill with Daka and Soumare. Unless the likes of Maddison or heaven forbid Ndidi go I cant see us signing Tarkowski or Pierira (WBA) or anyone else.
 
Aston Villa's bid to sign Bayer Leverkusen'sJamaican winger Leon Bailey has been complicated by Leicester, Everton, Wolves and Southampton showing an interest in the 23-year-old, who could be available for £30m. (90min)

What a signing this would be
 
With the awful injury to Forfana tonight we've one fit CB, desperately need more cover now. Would we make more serious offers for Tah, Kabak or Tarkowski again?

It was a terrible challenge and doesn't look good for Forfana. Will be lucky to see him again this season. Desperately sad for the boy.
 
Little Wes has said it is a fractured fibula.

I hope we don’t revert to Ndidi playing at the back. I agree with Leicester_ed, I’d go for Cahill on a free. A lot of experience and can still do a job.

If we go for some of our targets like Tarkowski, their value will be exaggerated due to our desperation of needing a centre back.
 
Feel so sorry for Fofana and again we face having a season derailed by injury. Agree a free like Cahill Kabak from a desperate Schalke would be the way to go. Clubs wanting a fee will know we are desperate. The game itself we looked so much better and showed the earlier games were purely for fitness and trying combinations.
 
If we don’t get a top CB in, I do reckon it will be N’didi and Soyuncu whenever Evans is out. If that is the case, I wonder if Soumare will come in as the ball winner or if that’s not really his game.

The other issue is that ironically it makes us more needy for a RM too as it sort of confirms we aren’t playing 3 at the back. I still think Villa have a steal with Bailey at £25m - on paper that was such a perfect deal for us but the club know what they are doing and there must be a reason we went to Villa for that money when a year ago they were talking about the elite teams for double that…
