Arteta and Edu Transfer Targets: Summer 2020

[Bloodbather]

Coutinho's stock has taken a hit, but isn't he still worth a ton of money? Barcelona bought him for 160 million and Bayern's option is set at 120 million. You'd still need to pay some big bucks to obtain him, that makes him unrealistic for Arsenal imo. The only way it can work is if he's loaned again, which also doesn't make sense.

 

[Hunta]

Bayern are paying about £30m in total for the year long loan of Coutinho. His wages are absolutely ridiculous, dwarf Ozils.

I voted for LW but that was ages ago. Since then Saka has given me confidence that when Tierney returns, he can move forward. For me its all about the midfield, its bloody awful.

We have no physicality and no one to bring the ball forward. Ceballos is very technical but I don't see us keeping him even if he becomes available. Willock & Guendouzi don't seem to be trusted by Arteta, that leaves Xhaka and Torreira. The latter I'm still not sure about and Xhaka I still want to sell. We basically need a new midfield that protects the defence and links with the attack. What we currently have does neither.

How much he on? If he more than 200k we should pass

He’s on over £200k AFTER tax. So basically around £400k a week.

Would prefer 400k Cou to 350 k Mez, tho

Imagine paying 30m for a couple of long-shot goals, awful stuff.
Still better business than 5m for Cedric though.

Coutinho has had one good season in his career. Awful awful footballer.

Kia probably got a small palace for that as well.

Cedric? The right back that have been a regular feature in an overall impressive Southampton side the last 5 or so years? Bad biz for 5 mil? for a squad role?

£5m to massage Tierney.

If we need to cash in on Xhaka which we do imo aswell & to partner Torreira in our CM, I wouldn't mind Ndidi from Leicester. Issue with him I feel though is he might be a bit to much like Xhaka, we might need a deeper playmaker in their like Ceballos. He's young & in the defensive mould, probably a cheaper option then a few guys aswell, doesn't give away as many fouls as Xhaka does either.

Barca are way worse than us handling contracts

 

[Elwood]

Said it before, will say it again - would take Giroud on a free this summer as a short term solution if Auba goes.

Please God no. Anyone else is good enough for me.

We've already got enough on our plate this summer as it is. Getting someone familiar in for a season while we search out a replacement would be far more sensible than letting Raul or Kia loose on a big signing this summer.

When will this nightmare end?

 

[Marjorie]

Kurzawa, Willian and some other bum Kia will force on us. The stuff dreams are made of.

 

[Red London]

I do think that most of the links we get to these guys are more to help out the agent raise the players stock, rather than us being properly interested in signing them.

We have been linked to a plethora of them, imo Luiz was an alright signing given the situation, and Cedric was contraversial but we needed an RB.

This summer is gonna say so much about Raul and our activity with agents. We need the right signings, and I am expecting us to try and sign them.

Mari also linked to Kia isn't he? Three players in such a short space of time. These guys don't miss an opportunity and the kroenkes, and our club in the process, their next cash cow.
