Don't think he wants to go to ManU but this has been such a ridiculously long drawn out saga that he might be glad to end up with the security of getting a deal done sooner rather than later
Agree. Reports can never really be trusted, but if the one about the stress being caused by all of this is true, he may just decide to go be done with it and go with the Utd offer which is apparently (again reporting) nearly agreed with Sporting. Also reporting tonight that Gyokeres has sent legal letters to Sporting That is not going to make any potential transfer quicker!
Gyokeres doesn't wanna go to United. We are still negotiating so I don't think he will go anywhere else, unless we completely give up on the deal.
Football fans are weird. Liverpool sign Ekitike for like £85m and Arsenal fans are all envious. We bid to sign Sesko and it was all like "he's not good enough, not proven anything".. blah blah blah.. Ekitike is 23 - He scored 22 goals last Season. Sesko is 22 - He scored 21 goals last Season. Sekso is bigger, faster and a year younger. Now instead it looks like we have signed a guy who almost scored 100 goals in 100 games but all you hear from Arsenal fans is 'well the Portuguese league isn't as good as the EPL'. Soo annoyingly negative about everything we do.
Squad is coming together nicely. -----------------------------Raya--------------------------------- -----------------------------Kepa--------------------------------- Timber----------Saliba---------Gabriel---------------MLS (White)--------(Masquera)-------(Kiwior)--------(Calafiori) --------Odegaard------Zubimendi--------Rice-------------- --------(Nwaneri)-------(Noordgard)---------(Merino)------- -Saka--------------------Gyokeres---------------------Eze?- (Madueki)---------------(Havertz)-----------------(Martinelli)
Even without Eze. That whole squad is pretty much confirmed. Jesus, Zinny, Nelson and Trossard are also still here as it stands, too. Depth is pretty incredible.
Ideally, those 4 players would have been sold this window (Jesus obviously won't due to his knee injury) to have made space for some better quality players. I guess there's still time for some of them to go, but reading what's been said about Zinchenko for example (happy in London, family want to stay, no pressure to leave), I don't think we will recoup much in terms of sales/outogings. I hope I'm wrong. The likes of Fabio Vieira and Lokonga absolutely need to be gone too.
