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.
Much as I like Gabriel Jesus. He should probably be sold. Our second highest earner on big wages, constantly injured and when fit doesn't produce the numbers. Love the guy though, great attitude. Currently being linked to AC Milan and Newcastle. Nelson looks likely to Fulham. Makes sense. I would say selling Trossard would probably be smart as well. He's 32 and only seems to produce when coming off the bench. Bring in Eze and perhaps another young forward.
i think replacing Jesus was imperative, due to his injury history. Can not be relied upon. We’ve done that with Gyokeres imo.
Also looks like Fabio Viera is close to a move to Stuttgart, This could open up a move for Eze. Our squad is going to look pretty complete if we can get that done as well. Eze can play LWF and as a 10. Allows us to play two 10's when we need a goal and would just give a whole bunch of new options to the starting 11.
Lots of rumours about Tottenham in talks with Eze right now. I guess we are waiting to sell before we make any final moves. Now I like Eze - definitely wouldn't say no to the signing but the more I think about it - I would much rather they spent the Money on Leao or Rodrygo. Eze isn't really a LWR'er and I think were pretty stacked in the Number 10 position. Odegaard Havertz Nwaneri Dowman Personally I think if we sell Trossard and bring in Leao or Rodrygo - that's pretty much a complete squad. -----------------------------Raya--------------------------------- -----------------------------Kepa--------------------------------- Timber----------Saliba---------Gabriel-----------Calafiori (White)--------(Masquera)-------(Kiwior)--------(L-Skelly) --------Odegaard------Zubimendi--------Rice-------------- --------(Nwaneri)-------(Noordgard)---------(Merino)------- -Saka--------------------Gyokeres---------------------Leao- (Madueki)---------------(Havertz)-----------------(Martinelli)
