Other clubs transfer thread summer 2019 edition (Official: Madrid sign Hazard)

Rohit

From what Dick Law has said that 90 Mn figure was probably exaggerated by the media.

Also, after the season he had then, Lemar had been on wishlists.

Claudius

Yeah. It sounds more like £75m. Phew.

Clrnc

Where did he say that? Was reading the whole interview he didn't mention about Lemar's fees.

From all 3 parts of his interview we can be certain of one thing we suspected all along, we are not proactive in transfer markets. We only wait and see who other clubs want to sell.

Hopefully with Dick Law gone and the new management coming in we start to be the protagonist in the market. Playing with Palace for Zaha will be a good test

Didn't he say the Sanchez fees was going to cover the Lemar fees?

Either ways, what actually happened to Lemar? Anyone watch him regularly? Regardless of what we valued him at, I remember Liverpool were interested too and he had a fantastic season.

Jed

He was never all that to begin with.

Claudius

Lemar was not fantastic. He was just having a standout season and people got caught up in the Monaco wave. We should’ve been putting pressure and that money on Mbappe that whole time while Wenger was around. Maybe Mbappe would be unhappy now, but we’d be making an easy £50m on any resale. Monaco tricked a lot of people into buying players who were made to look good by the value of the entire project rising. They sold those players for some £600m. Can’t knock their hustle.

Ray

He said we were going to use the Sanchez money to pay for Lemar, effectively a swap. A question of Lemar or Mkhi.

When you put it that way...
How are Sanchez, Mkhitaryan, and Lemar part of the same transfer strategy?

What about the Suarez bed then? Was that reactive or was that a sign the club identified a player they felt we needed and went after him?

I don’t think it shows we are not proactive. It highlights the team could be efficient, smart and quick moving to events around them. And that’s not to necessarily say we aren’t too reactive, but you can’t say that Law’s words give any certainty as to our strategy outside of those isolated transfers.

Clrnc

We only went for Suarez when he heard he had a clause that will force Liverpool to let him talk to the club. We only went for Ozil when he heard Madrid have to sell someone (and we don't even know who that was, basically whoever they selling out of Benzema or Di Maria we will take it). We went for Sanchez only after his agent approached us that he is for sale and that we don't even think we could win what Liverpool would offer him till Wenger stepped in and won the bid for us.

I think the last big transfer we completed the past decade where we intentionally went for a player is Arshavin.

Be surprised if someone doesn't pick him up at that price, even if he is 30 now. Especially the way it's structured.

Won't be us though; not because I think Alderweireld wouldn't come here, but because Levy is way too sneaky and small time not to have put in a clause excluding the possibility.

The Bale transfer saga taught Levy how to bully agents but i hope Alderweireld and Eriksen versions cost them instead.
All they have to do is not get tricked into signing then demand an Ozil-sized wage leading to an Alexis outcome as Levy is not as dumb as Kroenke.

Oh dear.

On the bright side, we are a step up from Ajax

Clrnc

Fuck sake.

Nah come to think of it even if he wanted to come here this club wouldn't have the balls to buy him

Gazza M

Mbappe and de jong. 2 generational talents that have said they strongly considered joining arsenal

jones

Yet apparently we would be daft to bid for De Ligt
