Souness is a fan. Blimey! 😆

After straightening his tie, he needs to get Souness to sort out his dreads.

Only reports in the media I’ve been seeing today is that this mess is over.

Fingers crossed you’re right, Comrade Claudius.

I recognize he’s a decent player but I’m spoiled. I prefer talent that’s a bit easier on the eye than Zaha.

I need someone to choke White with that tragedy of a tie

The mirror says

Gunners boss Unai Emery has already seen the club’s opening £40m approach rejected with Crystal Palace demanding £80m.
Arsenal will get nowhere near that figure but are now discussing putting players into the deal with Calum Chambers, Carl Jenkinson and Mohamed Elneny all possible makeweights.

Isn't it a case of the offer to Palace being their pick of one of those 3?

Claudius

The only workable player there is Chambers. Our rivals also recognize that our stiffs are indeed stiffs.

MuswellHillGooner

The corporal may be of value to them if they haven't got a replacement for Wan-Bissaka.
If we convince them to accept a player exchange, we should do what man united did to us when they gave us Mkhi when we asked for Martial.

Claudius

Which is what exactly? Give us a player who used to light up Bundesliga and dovetailed beautifully with Aubemayang in the past? Mkhi is problematic but those players mentioned are about as useful as Ivanka at a G20 meeting

[Kaveh Solhekol] Source close to Wilfried Zaha says doubts about whether Arsenal can afford to sign him. Palace have rejected £40m Arsenal bid & they value Zaha at closer to £100m. Palace would not be interested in taking players as part of swap deal. Would only ever happen as last resort.

#AFC | @RobDorsettSky saying he's been told that Arsenal have given up their pursuit of Wilfred Zaha. He adds that he will look into this more.

Pack it in boys. Fun while it lasted.

The same jurno is saying :

"doesn't quite add up" with the talk coming out of Arsenal. He's being told one thing from someone and then something completely different from someone else.

What do we think? Are we being smart about it and working on multiple targets (including this one)and just keeping it quiet or are we just a mess and really tought a 40 mil first bid will get a player valued at 100 mil by his club ? 😆

we're casting a wider net, i'm sure. if we offer the below, it's surely as far as we'd go

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Thinking p/exchanging three players in one deal would ever work 😆

goon

Sounds like horseshit.

This deal relies on three players accepting and makes it very uncertain given that all will have to have to take significant pay cuts. Would prefer to keep Chambers and maybe offer Mikhi on loan with the other two but subsidise the wage. It would at least give them a high quality replacement.

lorddulaarsenal

I recon once big Wilf returns from AFCON he’ll turn up the heat a bit

Ricky1985

That's what we've got to wait and see. Does he go all out for the move when he gets back or not

Zaha is on 120k/week, so if they really wanted any of the 3 players then they could certainly afford their wages.

Saint-Maxim and Thuram as alternative options of similar style to Zaha who are reportedly available.

Claudius

We were talking about Thuram last week. He was excellent in the u21 cup. I would’ve gone for him, but he wouldn’t be a Zaha alternative. Zaha is much more developed and central to offense than the superficial numbers suggest. I mentioned his dribbles though - he is very confident taking on opponents. He will only explode in value.
