Hope this is just Spanish press stirring shit up…

Really wouldn't make sense... they have Camavinga and Tchouameni.

    CPM they’re badly missing Kroos. Neither of those players is Kroos. Zubi will help stabilize midfield.

      CPM Completely different type of player to them. With Kroos gone and Modric probably retiring soon they need to fill that gap in.

        This would be so messed up. Lol

        Lol that tweet is quoting @COPE 😂

        Who by the way are quoting some random journalist. At least I assume it's some random journalist as he's only got 20k followers on twitter.

        Just gotta relax about it. Been saying we'll have to put up with a bunch of journalist bullshit about Madrid gazumping us on Zubimendi.

        It's like Rule 34 but for ITKs: if you can imagine a transfer, someone's claiming it's on.

          Burnwinter on the other hand, maybe this allows us to loook for a Bellingham/ Szoboszolai profile instead. I’m intrigued by that kind of athleticism. (Which we potentially have in Calafiori)

            Gazza M he’s actusllly one of the best passers in the world. It’s why every big team is linked to him. He’s a stat world king. Real, Liverpool, Arsenal, City all linked

              The leaking of how advanced the deal is will look silly if we fail to get him now.

                QuincyAbeyie currently working on a couple of deals. A deal is only a deal once everything has been signed and the pre-conditions have been satisfied by all parties. Everything else is noise.

                    Claudius don't really agree. You usually have a pretty good idea of whether the deal is going to be signed earlier than the literal time of the signing.

                      Lol, you really don't. I mean you can have a feel for how things are progressing, but It can all come crashing down at any time for any reason, precipitated by either party for good, or no reason at all. Until the final docs are signed, all else is fluff.

                        flobaba that everything can come crashing down doesn't say anything about the likelyhood of a deal happening, it just says that the chance is less than 100 %.

                        For example, Ornstein has reported on plenty on our signings that they're close right before they happen. Either he's had an idea that the deals were going to happen, or he's just the luckiest guy in the world when it comes to guessing.

                            Luis Suarez, Yann M'Vila, Jamie Vardy, Gonzalo Higuain, Christiano etc. We could go on for arsenal specific signings that were extremely close. QuincyAbeyie how do they fit in your fait accompli deal framework?

                                Claudius wait, so am I going to mention names that were reported on before they signed as a counter argument..? I have never said anywhere that a deal is 100% done before it's signed.

                                You respond to me saying "you can usually have a pretty good idea of whether a deal is going to be signed" with "you can't always be 100% sure". It's just disingenuous.
