We're getting Timber

Panda

Agreed expect White & Tomiyasu to fill in at CB before Timber.

Qwiss

Claudius but all reports are saying Arteta wants Tierney to stay. I wonder if Timber is related to that. Variation at LB maybe. I certainly don't want to see Timber/White-Salba-Garbiel and then Kiwior as the back 4. We need full backs who can get forward.

but that's the thing though, as long as you're not on arteta's shit list he wants you to stay even if he doesn't really play you. the crutch of "i have this option available if ..."

Gazza M

Meatwad arteta has convinced a few players to stay and it didn't end up panning out for them. AMN springs to mind. nketiah, balogun and ESR are wobbling a bit there too.

Coombs

Not sure how that's a crutch, though.

HomeSteak £36m + £4,5m add-ons according to that Mike guy who's supposedly good with Ajax stuff.

Deal agreed. Medical over the weekend. Welcome Woody

Gazza M

looks close. reckon we take a breather to focus on sales after this

Segway

Nice. Guy looks quality.

Ten Hag must be fumin we’ve gotten his targets Timber and Rice whilst they’ve just about had their fifth bid accepted for Mount; someone who’d otherwise be a free agent next year.

QuincyAbeyie

KingslandBarge I think he even wanted Timber last season, but Ajax didn't want to sell him so they went with Lisandro.

KingslandBarge Whenever I feel like a moan about transfer fees these days I'm going to remind myself Man United were bent over a barrel and spent £50m+ on a player with one year left at a club who had a strict deadline by which they had to sell.

KingslandBarge

Clrnc Ah fair. Romano a more reliable word than the Sun

Tam Whenever I feel like a moan about transfer fees these days I'm going to remind myself Man United were bent over a barrel and spent £50m+ on a player with one year left at a club who had a strict deadline by which they had to sell.

Think about how badly they were bent over for a player that came up through their youth ranks and left them on a free way back when, who they rebought for a 100m British transfer record fee and crazy wages, only for said player to leave them for free for a second time. 🤣

So where is this Timber guy going to fit in with us? Back up for White? Tomiyasu replacement? Seems quite expensive for that.

KingslandBarge

I was thinking about this last night too, and also whether he gives Arteta and this team the peace of mind to keep and use Tierney. If we sell Tierney, this is how I was thinking we would stack up:
LB: Zinchenko, Tomiyasu, Kiwior
RB: White, Timber, Tomiyasu
Is that right?

Doc

If Timber established himself as a serious option for the inverted right back role, KT could come back in a massive way. Will be expected to provide more width and his crossing could become a lot more valuable with Havertz in the team

Tam

Big Willie I can just picture the Vince McMahon memes about their transfer dealings from rival clubs perspectives.
