Good signing for you lot that mate. Apparently they are going to attempt to take Pogba with the Dembele money. Unless we have Milinkovic-Savic lined up Barca have absolutely no chance of making this deal happen.
Will be surprising if he joins you seeing as he's a yid at heart. Great player though, huge statement of intent if you get him.
Can't see the Dembele deal happening for us tbh. Unless it's on loan. They paid £130m for him and there's no way we're going to stump up even half of that. Rumours of Ramsey + £50m on the table though. Would be a ****ing amazing signing if we somehow pulled it off.
Yeah Usmanov is selling his shares to Kronke apparently. Trouble is, he's ****ing tighter than a gnat's chuff.
If you pull that off you've bent Barca over the table. Does look like a strong possibility he'll leave though, they signed Malcom the other day who plays in in the same position.
It's non-sensical to pump personal wealth into a team if you only part-own it. Things might change when he's gone. Failing that you can have Phil Jones for nowt.
First part : Possibly, Kronke might have been sitting tight waiting for Usmanov to fold before committing his own wealth to the club. Second part : **** off. You lot already took the piss once selling us Silvestre.
Yeah apparently Dembele is really ****ed off about that too. It does look like he's burnt his bridges at Barca, but I reckon a loan deal is the only way it's going to happen. I really like Ramsey, but if he was the makeweight in a deal for Dembele, then I'd take it in a heartbeat. Dembele is baller.
Can't see a loan happening mate. He cost them £120m or something daft. They won't be getting their money back on him but loan sounds a long shot.
I think it's the only way it would happen for us if Barca agreed to it and we paid his wages or something. Clearly all is not well with Dembele and Barca, maybe a season or two away from them would heal the wound if he's going to make it there eventually ? We just ain't got the cash to be buying him, although we did make a £90m bid for Lemar last season (what happened to him?) So you never know ...
I obviously don't see Ramsey as much as you but from an outside perspective he seems an average player, can probably guarantee a 6/10 performance every week but is that really enough for a club of your size? He's similar to Wilshere in that respect, 'good' player, not great. If he's wanted as a make weight for Dembele then it should be a no-brainer.
He's definitely more than that to us. Good player with a good engine who's always looking to make things happen, and is really good at linking up in the box to score. He's scored some really important goals for us over the years. But yeah, if he was a makeweight for Dembele, then I'd have it done in an instant.
Dembele to Arsenal.. Arsenal need to sort their **** defence and weak ass midfield out first ffs! N'Zonzi would be a better signing.
They've got a joke of a squad now. Wouldn't surprise me if they win La Liga, especially as Real have lost Ronaldo and Barca's lost Iniesta, two huge and influential players.
No chance Kroenke is going to spend a bean of his own dosh on funding Arsenal. Usmanov wanted to, but was blocked from joining the board. Kroenke is a businessman not a benefactor. I wonder where old Alisher is going to take his dosh to.....
Yeah that's my worry. If he joins his mate at Everton then I can see them both investing heavily at your club.
