Kia Joorabchian's Transfer Targets: January 2020

[African Flair]

Do Y'all think that prices are going to sky rocket for HG, especially UK players post brexit?

Not so long you only need eight in your squad, and doesn't necessarily need a UK passport.

 

[say yes]

Nope. Pretty sure PL will be effective in lobbying for no change (or only minor change) to the current system.

Brexit stopping [insert your club here] from signing [name of international superstar] is far too visible a negative for this government to allow.

 

[#Davido]

Thoughts on the boy Choudhury at Leicester? Could be a shrewd DM purchase. Young, physical presence, knows the league and isn’t a starter at Leicester.

Rubbish.

 

[Wagwaan]

Rubbish.

I second this. Rubbish.

If it doesnt stay the same it will most likely be easier to sign players from outside of europe so swings and roundabouts.

Think we might have dodged a bullet with the Lemar transfer. Feel like he might be a player that is good but wont be all that.

 

[GDeep™]

How much did Atletico pay for him? I’m reading 60M Euros which is much less than the 90M bollocks we were linked with.

Good move, but screw him for recommending Denilson

 

[jmsmtthw28]

also recommended Martinez

 

[<<reed>>]

Edu signing his old pals I see.

 

[jmsmtthw28]

I would love to know how our scouting department is run now that Mislintat is gone. We really didnt replace him.

 

[carlito'sway]

Haven't seen much of him. @carlito'sway may know more. Watchee him vs Chelsea and he looked pretty average. Statistically average aswell when you compare him to Camavinga.

I think we need a powerful box more than a destroying dm.

He is solid, very good player. He is very young too and has great upside. I would not mind going after him. He will cost a lot of money though.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

good move we have alot of scouts have big knowledge of south american football

Depends on how you look at it. Edu, as technical director, is also head of recruitment. He just has a job with more responsibilities than Mislintat had. Cagigao was moved up to chief scout, so he's doing a lot of the same work that Sven did as well. Arsenal didn't replace him directly because the job became redundant.

 

[jmsmtthw28]

Has Cagigao got a similar eye for talent as Mislintat

Francis Cagigao already had an impressive track record as a talent evaluator before he was promoted to Arsenal's head of recruitment following the departure of Sven Mislintat earlier this year. As a scout he had unearthed Cesc Fabregas and Hector Bellerin whilst championing the pursuit of Santi Cazorla.

It looks like the magic touch has not faded just yet. Of all the additions that Arsenal made last season it was that of Martinelli in which Cagigao played the greatest role, plucking a youngster from the obscurity of Brazilian state football and bringing him over to England.

not a bad promotion

Good move, but screw him for recommending Denilson

Denilson looked hugely talented when he came thru

But as with too many of our youth under Wenger
Burned out by being overplayed

Yes I'm sure Denilson would be the second coming of Xavi had he played less.

 

[DanDare]

We really could do with a juicy rumour

Don't care if it's legit

 

[GDeep™]

Yes I'm sure Denilson would be the second coming of Xavi had he played less.

Think 2018/19 was the only season where he played more than 20 games.
