HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

Claudius

The Upamecano stories are really limited, so not wishing too hard in that direction. He’d be a good haul.

Ajax have set a €35 million (£31 million) pricetag on Hakim Ziyech. The player wants a move to a club who can play football (favours Arsenal), but if hes not sold, Ajax will offer him a better contract with higher wages. Source: de Telegraaf.

Marcel van der Kraan, journalist from De Telegraaf (Holland) said in ‘Sky Sport Transfer podcast’ that he knows that Hakim Ziyech would like to move to a club like Arsenal if they were interested in him

Ajax’s David Neres [linked with Arsenal in April by the Telegraph] is said to be in advanced negotiations with Everton. Player wants to play in PL. PSG have been in contact recently via Maxwell. Leonardo’s appointment could see things go the French way.

If Everton get him and not us I'm gonna lose it.

Let Everton have Neres if it means we get Ziyech. If Everton get Ziyech too I think I might stop watching English football

Claudius

It’s fucking mental, Jones. It’s Kaka and co all over again. He’s available and likes Arsenal. I wish Kroenke actually liked football. He’s probably overwhelmed by this whole Los Angeles project and has no time for a nobody like Ziyech

Oh sweetie.

There's literally no excuse if Ziyech wants us, he's available at that price and he doesn't come here.

“But can Ziyech be a protagonist chameleon with personality?”

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Am I the only one not that bothered by getting Ziyech or not? He looked good in the CL and had a decent domestic season but I don't see him as a game changer in the PL. For £35m I think he'd be ok, wouldn't complain if we get him but I don't think he'd take us up a level.

ohboy

Reading this comment I’m laughing, but crying at the same time.

Ziyech is a good player, but if we are buying him to play on the wing, we are wasting our time.

Play him in the middle to help advance the play.

Ziyech is a good presser as well, which is an asset to go along with his technical skills.

Who do you see as a game changer in the PL then, Fraser? If Ziyech can shine against Bayern Madrid and Juventus he'll be able to shine against Brighton and Norwich.

He has had a good season, £35m is a lot of money for a guy who's finally shone at 26 though.

If we had £70m for wingers I'd rather have a Fraser and a Pepe than 2 Ziyechs I'll put it like that.

jones

Theres your issue Ziyech isnt a winger. Also not sure why "finally shining" at 26 is a bad thing he was always talented and has now shown he can hang with the very best, 26 is not exactly geriatric ffs.

Claudius

A guy who shines is a guy who shines. If you can squeeze Under in within that 70m pounds with Ziyech, then do it. I’d rather have that combination. Ziyech is _31m, and Roma is a silly club. We can stick ‘em up for Under.

are we actually going to sign anyone? our squad has so many clear holes, and we seem to be dithering

Which top English clubs have signed decent players?

And yet he's had his best season playing mostly out wide.

i dont know. i dont really care about any other clubs.

Klaus

We have more work to do than the other top clubs, so we better get around to it. We're the ones trying to catch up.
