BBC reporting that Arsenal & Shakhtar are in talks (again? still? in a really big conference room?) over Mudryk.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, Ukrainian Wizard
RocktheCasbah if we are talking this much it means we're really serious, seems like a Ben White situation where we eventually just pay what we need to.
I hope so, it'll be gutting if we don't get him now.
RocktheCasbah some have dialled in on the squak box and they have tea, coffee and a selection of biscuits on white plates. Seems the malted milks are proving unpopular
Clarity on the biscuit situation?
lorddulaarsenal rightly so, they're fucking horrible.
Few reports, including from SportsArena who have been first to report on stuff, saying we’re close to agreeing a deal. Just the structure left to agree.
I like Malted Milk but not the chocolate covered ones.
This’ll be wrapped up soon.
Imagine the insane running power of this attack
———————Nketiah
Mudryk—-ESR———Saka—-Martinelli
That has been my impression for a while. Shaktar have been very open to negotiation and haven't expressly dismissed any of our offers out of hand, which tells you as much as they're rejecting what's on the table, we're not far off (probably about how much we pay versus what are performance-based add-ons).
lorddulaarsenal where does Jesus fit in?
Don Pacifico he’s in the mad technical attacking option
———————-Jesus
Mudryk—-Odegaard—Vieira—Saka
sounds like the penultimate round of negos before the final round. fingers crossed
He’s so so good. Quite an upgrade on Martinelli
Felix going to Chelsea also tells you that they have reconciled to this as well.
Sounds like we're edging very close now.
I thought the source was weak as sport arena is from Bosnia I think, they do good work covering ex Yugoslavia countries but not much else. But it turns out the journalist who got the piece is Ukrainian and pretty reliable. I think we are gonna close this one soon enough.
The player also did a Q&A with his fans this week, and was asked if he would like to join Chelsea and he said "No". :.
Hopefully we can get this done quickly. Would be great to have him the squad for the spurs game but probably won’t happen that quickly.
HomeSteak the Q&A thing wasn't true.
