£40m + £13m add ons i’m seeing. tolerable. only becomes £50m if we win the big ones. And if we do that who cares. £40m and £50k pw for Saka backup is bearable as long as we also get Gyokeres and Eze. Rodrygo I just can’t see. Four attackers in one window? Doubt it. But Eze, Gyokeres and Madueke makes our attack better than last season anyway.
I like this signing, though did not initially. He is the kind of back up player that I will have no worries about when he is called upon.
We have just over a week before we go on tour - we have to have the new signings done by then. There is no room for a slow start in the league given our tough schedule. Players and system have to have been through a pre season together
How does Madueke make our attack better than it was last season ? We all said Martinelli had a **** season last season and he got more goals and assists in the league than Madueke did.
We didn't all say Martinelli had a **** season - in fact I would say he played really well in the last couple of months and looked sharp. He also scored 8 goals which is actually good for a winger, despite having some injury woes.
Soo Mosquera, Madueki and now Gyokeres deals all agreed. Just pending paperwork and medicals. If we can add an Eze/Rodrygo as well... -----------------------------Raya--------------------------------- -----------------------------Kepa--------------------------------- Timber----------Saliba---------Gabriel---------------MLS (White)---------(Mosquera)-------(Kiwior)--------(Calafiori) --------Odegaard------Zubimendi--------Rice-------------- ------(Nwaneri)---------(Noordgard)---------(Merino)------- -Saka--------------------Gyokeres------------------Rodr/Eze- (Madueki)---------------(Havertz)-----------------(Martinelli)
Some big updates have happened in the last 24 hours. Let's go through them... Mosquera now has the 'here we go'... Meanwhile, seems like we're adding the finishing touches to the Gyokeres deal... Madueke probably going to be announced soon once these formalities are sorted. Nwaneri new deal set to be signed soon too... Also reports of multiple interested clubs for Reiss Nelson, whom we value between £15m-£20m. Would be amazing if we can get that sort of money for him.
Bro, I'm not gonna lie, if we can complete the Mosquera and Gyokeres signings plus add Eze, to me it would go down as probably the best transfer window in the Emirates era.
Yep - I think Eze would really elevate the squad. Would likely start at LWF but also offer competition to Odegard as a 10.
Sporting president now asking for the add-ons to be pretty much guaranteed in the Gyokeres deal. Reports from Portugal saying the deal is dead and Man Utd are back in - Ornstein saying it's just normal procedure in tying up the details and he'll be an Arsenal player this week. Either way - I hope players think twice about joining Sporting going forward.
