Halilovic will be good. Never heard of the other guy. Seems like way too much money.

Indeed, hadn't heard of Jedvaj either, but to be fair it's €20m and the article I saw suggested that was heavily installment based and at least half of it was dependent on appearances and the usual hoo-hah, certainly pricey but not a terrible deal in my book.
 
Speaking of Croatia, they're in the EU as of one hour ago.

No work permits needed.

And when you consider Arsenal essentially spent £27m on our two 17 year olds, it doesn't even look that pricey. Reminds me of the Tosic/Ljajic deal from a few years back.
 
If the rumours of having a deal close to completion for a box to box player not yet linked with us are true, am I the only one who is a little bit concerned?

Admittedly, we don't know too much about what goes on but MP seems to have identified a central midfielder as a priority this season and seemingly had Wanyama and Banega at the top of his wish list. Whilst we seem to have now turned his attention elsewhere, these two have still not yet moved clubs and are still "available" in that sense.

Just find it a bit odd that if this is all true we havn't played a bit more of a waiting game. It's only July after all (I know he siad he wanted transfers done early but still).

I hope it's someone of similar quaity otherwise I won't help but feel we missed out.

Alternatively, the twitter info is nonsense!
 
Think he's probably past his best now. Good player at his peak but I don't think he can cut it at the top level now. Would do a goiod job for Nigel though.
