Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer Holidays 2021

[A_G]

That Joe gooner joined Twitter just this month.

He made his second account this month, his original has been around since 2009.

Not sure how close exactly Luiz and Willian are, assume they would be pretty tight. Maybe they end up going to the same MLS club, or something like that.

In all seriousness, I think we might go for a CB like Vestergaard tbh.

Just saw his contract is up in 2022 too.

Can we change the thread to

Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer 2021 : ITK discussions allowed, whining about it not.​

And start banning people who whine about it?

I really need my moderator account. I could keep track of that the news rules that are followed!

Ceballos and Luiz out is a good start to be fair.

Looks like impersonator to me. Why not open again previous account ? It's still locked.

Why would his mutuals from his old account follow his new one then?

Good point.

But I am still on a fence about this guy. I am ready to believe this guy more than that R24AFC fraud though.

How is still an unknown, he's playing football, you can watch him, you can turn on your telly at 8 o clock on Sunday and watch him play football.

There are even stats, if you want to look. He's not some mystery box.

With all due respect a lot of players have excelled in ligue 1 and been terrible elsewhere.

Inject it!

I'm not sure why people like yourself are so sure that he is 1) an excellent CB or 2) showing anything in training to say he's worthy of a starting spot in the premier league.

"He must be better than Holding" I've seen people say, why? Things like this wind me up, he's still an unknown, yes he needs a chance but I doubt the clubs stance on Holding has changed from last year. The only reason he ended up staying was due to injuries.

You can see from attributes alone that he can be a top class centre back. Unless he is completely brain dead and uncoachable then his failure here will be down to Arteta’s management of him.

We as a club do not have the resources to ever spunk 30m on a player and not give them at least 5-10 chances to make it here. So far Arteta has given him a grand total of none.

Nobody knows if he will be good enough for the premier league. Fact, whenever I've seen him play he looks potentially clumsy as well.

But we already have Cedric, we gave him a 4 year deal, so what do we need Chambers for?

Because Bellerin is off?

Just seen Boateng mentioned on twitter

Oh man, it’s him isn’t it.

Can't be. He's still out with a broken ankle from this

 

[g00ner94]

Hearing it's Evans on a one year + option of 1 contract, a bit like Thiago at Chelsea.

Jonny Evans? He signed a new deal with Leicester til 2023 in December

Not saying he would be the best option but just a reminder that this is the same guy who started the CL final last year against mbappe and neymar

I wouldn't want Boateng personally but If we're judging players on getting made a fool of by Messi a lot of great defenders are clowns

Willian apparently also had his best season ever for Chelsea before joininh us.

You aren’t wrong. Still feel we could do much worse than boateng on a free

I think we've made some progress on the CB front, like we used to have 8 or 9 and now we have like 6? But still more numbers than proven quality. Spent money on Saliba and Gabriel who are future talents and need to be developed, but idk, it's just a bit of a mess, isn't it.

What you want is a set partnership, can't be chopping and changing every game like we were this season.
