I say don't bite when these ridiculous rumours come out. I mean, us bidding £95m for a player that wouldn't come to us is absurd. It's pure clickbate. Back to more sensible rumours, a highly rated 19 year old from the Indian Super league, or an injury prone player that used to be good on a free...
They can smell our desperation from a mile away. The stories will only multiply and get intense the closer deadline day comes. Who knows, maybe we'll get it all done in time for a change? That would be great, but very weird.
It's crazy money for Mbappe. But I guess 26 goals and 11 assist in 28 games is pretty incredible for an 18 year old. To demand soo much Monaco must know they have something Special in this kid. Anyways Wenger and Gazidis have been spotted in Nice this morning soo that's a good sign. To be honest I would prefer us spending £25-30m on Turan to the £50m being tauted for Mahrez. Mahrez gives you more pace but Turan is the better passer of the ball.
If we DO sign Mbappe, which would excite me, dont get me wrong, I think it would mean Alexis is gone. At that point, you would have to question whether weve improved or not...
Bellerin with "Let's see what happens" comment with regards to Barca. Doesn't look like he's as settled as he was as his family have returned to Spain. Be a right arse to lose him. Oh, and we've upped our Mbappe bid again. Supposedly.
We won't get anyone - Wenger has said that we will sign 2 or 3 players max, and we have signed 2 already, and the third will be the return of Jack Wilshere that Wenger will laud as like having a new signing, sorry to burst any bubbles also we will sell Sanchez to Bayern So our summer transfer budget will be a unknown Belgian striker for **** all and a left back on a free. The £150m war chest will not be spent and will be upped by the £60m we get for Sanchez
Comments from wenger about Mbappe moving to q club where he will be sure to play and made a key part of the team so he can develop. Has said he could be a future ballon dor winner. Wenger is in nice and so is Gazidis. Rumours we are willing to break the transfer record to sign him. Supposedly we almost got him a year ago when his contract was running out, it was close but he signed again with Monaco. Wenger said to have a good relationship with him and his family. And Deschamps saying he should go to a team where he will consistently play as a striker. This might actually happen...
I think Wenger genuinely wants Mbappe, I think Mbappe has an interest in coming to arsenal. I think Real and/or other clubs bids will deter us. 120m for an 18 year old (however good he is) is insane, and even I as an Arsenal fan would feel uncomfortable spending that...
Would be a good deal. Soo... Gibbs to Newcastle £15m Szcezney to Juventus £14m Lucas Perez (£13m rumoured to Malaga) Sanogo.(20p) Coquelin (approx £5-10m?) Campbell(approx £5m--7m?) Ospina is also looking to leave. (£10m) Could recoup 60-70 million out of that lot. Plus loosen up the wage bill a little.
