Arsenal OUTS 2023 😞

Clrnc

QuincyAbeyie if we have 80m, which cb can we buy that's equally young and good to replace him? Can't think of anyone

QuincyAbeyie

Clrnc I wouldn't sell him for that either. If we were in no man's land and could use the money to further improve the team elsewhere, I'd probably have taken it. The way it is now, we won't get anyone better unless we want to prolong the 'project' by buying some wonderkid who might surpass him in the future, but will take us backwards in the present.

Clrnc I would only be up for shipping Gabriel if we were to go after Diomande from Sporting. A Diomande - Saliba pairing would be the best in the world in a short time and would stay that way for years (injuries permitting). I don't know if Arteta would want to have two right footed CB's playing next to each other but his potential is off the charts and probably the only young CB out there who is comparable to Saliba in my mind.

Come on Fulham. Need a PL move from my draft team.

The good news is the £50m figure seems to have been normalised. Would be a great fee if we can get something approaching that.

Clrnc

He would be perfect for Marco Silva. And 50m is cheap for them given that they are receiving a decent amount for the ageing Mitrovic.

And Balogun is on lower wage

Qwiss

samthegooner I'd be interested in who people think would be a better option than him since there aren't a lot of names that come to mind for me personally.

This is the crux of it. I wouldn't take Gvardiol over Gabriel for instance. Just like last summer I said I wouldn't take Martinez over him and I stand by that 100%.

HomeSteak

We cannot get rid of this guy

KingslandBarge

Thought I saw somewhere that Fulham wouldn't be able to pay over 35 mil. Spurs have reportedly asked about Balogun and Ansu Fati. The Balogun stakes seem to be getting closer to a crescendo and the competition should hopefully help us get fair return.

goon

Would want a big premium to sell him to Spurs.

Clrnc

goon would you sell if they offer 60m?

Lots of links to Fati. Would be unreal

goon

Clrnc

When you take the emotion out of it I think you have to.

QuincyAbeyie

Clrnc lots of Spurs links or Arsenal links?

Qwiss

Clrnc would you sell if they offer 60m?

I'd bite their hand off.

Clrnc

QuincyAbeyie Arsenal links, from Spanish sources

goon And if he goes there and do a Harry Kane again? Think we will never hear the end of it

goon

Clrnc

If you think he’s going to be Harry Kane you don’t sell to anyone. He’s not going to be the next Harry Kane though.

In the end what matters is what helps us win. I don’t really care if he scores 20 goals and gets them 6th while we use the money to win us the League and CL double.

What kind of ship are we running here? Spurs need a striker and we sell them Balogun? Wouldn't sell them a virus

Daz

GooneriC Are you mad? I would absolutely sell them a virus!

I'd sell Spurs a striker, but not Balogun if the margin is only £15m. Bad vibe, and you're creating a player whose entire existence revolves around, whose purpose in life is scoring against Arsenal.

Feels like even if he didn't step up, he'd still be coming at us like the Count of Monte Cristo in probably seven or eight matches over the forthcoming seasons. That cancels out £15m.

Clrnc

goon I don't know, if he can score 20 goals in this league he would well possibly increase our chances of a title massively by keeping him

goon

Clrnc I’ve said this before but what’s right for other clubs isn’t necessarily what’s right for us and vice versa. Ode wouldn’t have been this good if he stayed at Madrid, and we didn’t buy Havertz thinking he’ll perform the way he did for Chelsea.

Balo doesn’t suit us stylistically and isn’t good enough to be worth it anyway. Neither is Eddie but no one is giving us £40-60m for him.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Are you guys fucking nuts?

You should NEVER sell a player like Balogun to your local rivals. This kid, albeit a bit deluded, is going to the top. Let’s not help our rivals esp Spurs.

As others have said, we won’t hear the end of it when (not if) he does well there. It would be a dagger to the heart each and every time he scores. Fuck that.

I doubt it.
