Could be great at playing with the kids though.
Tammy Abraham
Now that, Klaus, was BAD.

Can buy him for 40m euros but can't fork out another 5m euros for Xhaka
Yeah that's atrocious. Well done Arsenal for closing talks and holding firm. One of the most irksome things about the window for me, Roma's undignified approach. At least on basis of publicized aspects. The renewal though - different story. Pretty sure he could have been incentivized to stay or leveraged to another buyer through different means.

I thought they're loaning him with an option to buy? Really is odd if permanent considering how desperate Mourinho allegedly was to sign him.
According to Ornstein not only is it a permanent deal but Chelsea have a buyback clause as well. That'd be a horrible deal for us. If he flops we'll have paid 40m and if he succeeds Chelsea will take him back for a price lower than market value. If it really is a 2 year loan with an option to buy though that's a brilliant deal for Roma.
This is where we need to be more aggressive as a club. It clear Abraham would rather Arsenal. Whatever you think of him as a player its clear the club are after him. Instead of matching Romas bid we need to turn his head, make him pick us and then give Chelsea less than Roma offered. Thats how most clubs do it.

Sigurdsson as an option if we can't get Tammy?
We have made an official approach for Abraham, confirmed by Romano.
This means we must be looking to sell both Auba and Laca perhaps?
One step forward, two steps back.
I’d actually be happy with that. That would be what I’ve been banging about all this time, if you’re going to go young, then do it. Especially if your top quality guys are on the decline. We are just always a season or two behind the curve. But better late than never I guess. It also underscores why we might want to keep Xhaka considering his influence in the dressing room and professionalism. And of course the lack of serious interest from other parties.

Hopefully.
Hopefully we don't replace them with another Chelsea reject though.
I just hope we can find someone with more to him than this fellow.
