If Mislintat was still around, he would probably kill this transfer target and ask us to look at Zaha’s Cote d’Ivoire teammate Pepe. He offers similar explosive qualities, is a better creator and is about 5 years younger so will retain / grow his value.

Who needs Sven?

€80 fucking million!
We hired Sven to get players like him for a fraction of that price.

and if we signed a raw 22 year old from angers for 10m people would be talking about our small time business while our rivals are buying ready made players.

Sven's tactic wasn't about offering peanuts and arguing over final details for weeks.
It was identifying the target and closing the deal quickly before the big boys got involved.
See Guendouzi.

Meatwad

a guendouzi type deal is the equivalent of pepe at angers.

MuswellHillGooner

A no Sven club is our current transfer window.
Hopefully Edu plugs that gap.

Are you saying people in general complained about the Guendouzi transfer?

no they had the appropriate expectations (none) and were surprised by the contribution. this summer arsenal don't need to be surprised by any contribution from players they sign, they should be expecting it based on where we are as a club. so no i don't think arsenal supporters will be satisfied with the club taking a bunch of 10m flyers in the hopes of them turning out to be great in 2 years.

We don’t have this kind of money, but 80m€ is much better employed in this fashion. Tonight I will sleep with a goofy smile

Really don't get the hysteria. We weren't far off top four last season and the transfer window still has a couple weeks to go. Yeah, Kos is on strike but we're not gonna let him go unless we have a suitable replacement; even with his recent tantrum, if he were to stay, I'm fairly certain he'd get his shit together for us and play. Outside of that, I'm not sure I see any real drama. People are getting hyped up on minutiae as far as I can see and the window isn't even closed.

True but still bit concerning we haven’t signed anyone 6 weeks in and the clock is ticking.....

Don't get me wrong, I get why it might be concerning. But I'm going to wait to see whether the club deliver - there's been so much upheaval behind the scenes the last twelve months, I think they deserve some time to prove themselves.

Sky reporting Wilf has handed in a transfer request. Are we still on the case ?

lorddulaarsenal

Yes. He’ll join us.

Gazza M

Palace will take our PAYG structure and like it

Coombs

Loan for 10m fee with compulsory buy for 60m next season.

Bold Tone

I think he offers us the best chance of top 4 but i think it will remain a long shot so i'm not too fussed if we don't get him as he has no resale value and also because i hate the idea of paying manu.

Palace sources were telling Dharmesh Sheth last week that Arsenal could still make a deal happen for Zaha if they "get creative" with their bid. Instalments, bonuses, possibly players. They were opening the door.

I'll try to find the tweet, but methinks Palace know Zaha wants to go and will not change his mind and they think getting a decent bit of money so they can get in some quality is the wise thing to do.

Ray

Throw Palace Chambers, Jenkinson, maybe Nketiah on loan.

id offer them xhaka, ozil, mustafi, mkh, and jenkinson in a swap for zaha. no cash involved

Ray

Yeah if they are interested in any of those guys, we should be giving them away.

GooneriC

We should keep Eddie , loan them Nelson.
