Not going to jinx anything I'm just a bit annoyed if the announcement got delayed for a month.
Burnwinter the logic might make sense if we both benefit from logging the transaction next year.
Burnwinter This has been a really hard transfer to get over the line so if we have to wait a month that isn't the end of the world. Just as long as he is there for preseason and properly trains with us.
Our marquee transfers are so fucking boring because they take 5 years to announce.
There is gonna be a generational meltdown if this collapses….
JazzG deleted tweet?
QuincyAbeyie Not sure why that has been deleted, maybe the source is dodgy? Basically same as the tweet below
[edit]
This is why he deleted it
One thing is clear, this Zubimendi fella is not the sort of guy we should be pinning our hopes on. Liverpool were convinced he was going to sign for them only for him to change his mind later. De Jong could still leave Barca this summer and I hope we are closely following his contract talks.
Imagine losing both Jorginho and Partey and not finding any suitable replacement for them.....

I take it you mean Kamara, yeah I'd bring him in. Only doubt I have about him is all the top clubs are aware of him but none has attempted to sign. There's probably something he lacks to play at the top level that only a scout can spot. To me he looks very good, he's a technician that passes the ball very well and he's quite smart without the ball.
Tactics find it hard to believe the assertion that there are certain attributes of players that "only a scout can spot". They have two eyes and a brain, and bias. Same as you and I. Only thing they possibly do more is watch specific players in person. But with today's every touch / action compilations and with the amount of data available about most players, they are unlikely to gain a lot more insight than the dedicated fan.
Anyone else got a funny feeling that the Zubimendi 'deal' (if there ever was one) is about to fall through? 😃
SimplyThePest it would be so us if it was to happen
SimplyThePest no
This window will tell us more about our owner's ambition than any other. Shit is going to be laid bare.

nobody should get carried away by all the transfer gossip. Even with Zubamendi seemingly done but not done. When it's done for sure we'll all know anyway.
Kike is Tier 1 for Real Sociedad, says it’s done but he can’t confirm or deny anything due to timings.
JazzG kike bomb circa 2014
I'm not too worried, if we don't get him, we will get someone else. I mean, if Real goes in, it's over, but that is normal, nobody picks Arsenal over Real. Hell, 99% of players pick Real over everyone
