Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: January 2020

[Juan Matas Beard]

Yeah but didn’t have a mad strike rate in the Eredivisie and he had a good World Cup in 2010? Thought it was a gamble at the time tbf though.

I mean Fernandes could well be class but 60M seems a big outlay for a 25 year old who’s relatively unproven. When you’re paying that much, you’re not far off affording Maddison surely.

I mean in theory the same could be said with signing Pepe over Sancho but deals are more complex than that. Leicester are relatively wealthy, they are in a much better position than we are, selling to a rival is never going to be straight forward, especially not in January.

I think this is a very specific case where a player who shouldn't be available has become available. Sporting have reported that they are going through severe financial issues and when Sp**s bid 60m last Summer, that was laughed at, now it's different, he's become available for the same price. Our scouts seem to think hes worth it, I hope they are right.

Definitely true. He may well rip it up and prove me to be a mug but I just felt like Maddison to your lot was inevitable.

Felt like he’d have fitted like a glove with Rashford and Greenwood ahead of him, obviously Fernandes must have something about him but it seems a bit more of a punt.

Also, seen you’re after Bellingham from Birmingham City. Sickening stuff, he’s an unreal talent.

Why tf aren't Tottenham looking at Mitrovic? Silly ****s

What they going to do when Kane returns? Can’t play those two together.

 

[GDeep™]

Llorente makes perfect sense, everything considered.

Definitely more of a punt, Maddison does seem more of a sure thing, we'd know what we'd be getting if we paid 80m for him. You're right, Bruno may well be a flop. I'm curious to see what he can do.

I won't lie though, I think I'd prefer Grealish over Maddison if it came to it. I really hope the Bellingham rumours are true.

I guess there is some sort of logic to it if we are buying both Bruno and Bellingham, the age gap would suit Bellingham more than signing someone like Maddison or Grealish.

Fernandes is gonna be another hyped up foreign player to flop. Elite ball striker but thats about it, europa league caliber player.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll see. At the end of the day I'm just glad I'll barely see Lingard start a game for us now.

Can't see them paying £30m+ on someone that will just be backup whenever Kane's fit

Do you blame him? They know Inter is making a serious push for the title.

He was behind Taarabt in the pecking order and started just 3 games for Benfica in 2019.

 

[gunner4lyfe]

How is he worth 56 mil? He isn't even starting for Benfica. Lol.

Jose doing dodgy deals with his old pal Jorge Mendes as always

Is that a sign of how bad he is or is Taarabt finally living up to his early potential?

Basically means that he is **** and Benfica have next to no options, hence, Taarabt is playing.
