Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer Holidays 2021

[Dutch D]

Rumors doing the round we’re looking into selling Auba in the summer.

Actually, I could understand it if a good offer came in. He's worth €35m according to Transfermarkt. Let's say a club comes in and offers something around €20-30m. Do we take it? He's our biggest earner (300k+ apparently) and 32 years old.

Ideally, I would sell Lacazette and get one more year out of Aubameyang with Martinelli or a prospect like Isak/Edouard as a backup who can slowly be integrated to take over. But what are the chances we get any fee for Auba in the summer of '22?

40m€ should be minimum he only had 1 bad season in last 6-7 and still this season he could end up with 20 goals all competitions

I can tell you've been on the smoke tonight but we get CL somehow and we'll get Haaland, very very likely, need Arteta to turn that sinking ship around though.

The approach:

[Diesel]

Edu find 200 million underneath one of the box seats ?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Can see him back to south America close to his families.

 

[Toby]

You seen what Raiola recently said about Haaland?

Nah I missed it, what did he say?

Haaland was probably too good for Dortmund to begin with, is ahead of his development and should/could've joined any top club already after Salzburg. He will not consider any non CL club at all and will only go to absolute top clubs.

Any Haaland links are a desperate April Fools.

 

[Malky]

Edu seeing Haaland will be available this summer

His loss.

€40m is a lot for a 32 y.o. though. If PSG or something would come with that cash I'd take it for sure.

Its alot but auba still has like 2 years at least in top level and he not injury prone. For me i keep him here he'll guarantee you goals no matter what you can't find strikers with 25 goals a season this summer.

His loss.

Debatable. I mean that seriously. I'd say his loss to e.g. Van Persie who left for United to clutch one title. Even without his sale the club would've made around 35m by selling Song and Vela, could've still brought in Cazorla and Giroud, then Monreal in the winter. Walcott had had built a good relationship with van Persie and came off 11 goals/12 assists, went on to have 21 goals/16 assists in 12/13. With a high firing van Persie leading the line with Giroud as a finally quality backup, Cazorla added to the team, and the Merte/Kos partnership the Dutchman might've just fired Arsenal to a league title instead of United. Would've been an undisputable legend. Now he's the Arsenal legend in the making who sold his sold to one meager PL title with United.

Haaland. Not his loss. Look at Arsenal now

Might be a unwarranted serious take on your fun comment, but suddenly had an urge to write about "vintage" Arsenal and the idiot van Persie

I assumed he'd go to Leipzig after Salzburg. Hindsight and all that but surely Leipzig win the title with him in the team this season? I mean they're very close to Bayern without him at the moment.

Pretty sure they would have won the title with him, yes.

I think signing Ødegaard, a CM, back-up GK and LB are prioritised in the summer. I think they want a new RB and CF but that is entirely dependent on receiving decent offers for Bellerin and Lacazette, so if it happens it's only later in the summer.

Selling Kola, Torreira and Guendouzi will be tricky, AMN, Willock, Nelson and Nketiah should be easier deals to do.
