  • This Gyokeres transfer saga looks messy

    Assuming we are in for him, this is exactly the type of crap that could drag on all summer.
    Hoping the board cut their losses on this and move on to the next over priced piss take on our radar.

    I don't think we are in for him, but I do think the striker saga will drag on all summer. The cost is pretty astronomical for all the potential candidates.

    At this point I am more concerned with the midfield.

    As I have said many times, it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't buy a striker. We are certainly not going to be pressured into paying a fortune for an overrated oaf. I would be very surprised if we didn't sign anyone in the forward areas. That would be a risk.

      I would be shocked if we didn't buy a striker, but I'm not convinced the big money summer acqusition will be a striker.

      The player that needs replacing is Jesus, not Havertz.

        Agreed.

        If we don't buy a striker this window, we should fvck Arteta out of it.
        Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

          If we cant get a player we want, we wont buy one that we don't. That is what separates us from Spurs, United etc.

          I expect us to buy one, but wouldn't be shocked if we don't. And you are right re Jesus.

            Still 12 days until we can announce Zubimendi. I assume we're playing Sesko off Gyokeres, seeing who will buckle first.

              If we can sign up Partey and complete Zubimendi, then we can focus on the rest. For me, that is the priority at the moment.

              Then the renewals. And then we can spend a fortune on a useless bag of ****

                ?75m offer going for Gyokeres apparently and Zubimendi done but waiting until 1st July to announce.

                  The volume and range of rumours around our search for a striker tempts me to believe that nobody actually knows what is happening. It is also possible that nothing is happening at the moment. It is still very early in the window.

                    which is exactly when you should get your business done.

                    apparently.

                      As long as they're in before pre-season tour, that'll be fine. Does looks as though Kepa, Zubi and this 19 year old Ajax defender will all be in well before that. MLS has apparently signed a long-term contract as well

                        They are talking very large sums for these strikers. We may well be sitting and waiting until they start talking sensible money.

                        I am quite excited by the thought of Rodrygo. Looks pretty special. Dont know enough about his attitude.

                          Apparently will be wrapped up tonight. Delighted. Only signing I care about as we desperately need a striker than can actually find the net.

                            Will certainly give us different options in how we approach games. Could be interesting

                            I have some doubts but will be cheering him on and hoping he does well

                              That's very nice. Have you ever considered becoming an Arsenal supporter
