William Saliba

[El Duderino]

How can you have a contract agreed with the player but not had a bid made yet ?, isn't that considered tapping up ?, something is a bit off about this...

Usually you sound out the player through and intermediate party to make sure he wants to join you before anything.

We could've also held convos with him with the blessing of the club, since they're clearly wanting to sell.

I hope so mate, really want this one to happen....

Ffs are we paying 30M to loan him back?

If they take him back on loan it will probably be structured so we don’t pay a lot up front. Maybe €5m now and the rest once he moves here after the loan.

 

[Red London]

This would be an exciting signing for us. If we end up signing a 15-25m player and loan him back it would show we are signing another CB too surely.

Saliba and a ready made CB would do us nicely, I pray we sign a proper LB too.

 

[DanDare]

We were always going to reach agreement on salary with a teenager from St Etienne...

There seems to be some steam with this though.

 

[Hunta]

This is probably them leaking it to get a higher fee. As if this club is signing a player for 30m and loaning him out.

Probably have to pay an extra 5-10m to get him.

 

[DanDare]

This really is the dream of he turns out well. CB centre of defence for 15 years.

Of course our board will sell him for below market profit.

 

[field442]

Didn’t realise how young he was. I thought he was an 18 almost 19, not an only just turned 18. It does seem a bit young to be starting for us, although he seems to be built like a man. **** knows.

 

[<<reed>>]

I was told the lad has agreed contracts with other 10 clubs, who are interested in him as well.

Make of that what you will.

Real Madrid paid 50m and loaned the player back. Granted they couldnt bring him in until January they still opted against it.

 

[Mraven]

Don’t care how much we pay. 1,93cm will instantly make him our best CB

 

[The_Playmaker]

Feels iffy. We would never want this to be as public as it is if we were actually in negotiations.

 

[OnlyOne]

Just turned 18, 6'4, pro footballer.

Shagger.

Is Big Willy coming home?

William carvalho?

 

[Preacher]

Props to Emery, that he gave many minutes to Guendouzi on the pitch. There will be benefits of this. Other young France talents saw it and Arsenal became more attractive option for them, because of this.

 

[Dutch D]

Hope we get him without the loan, but for the development of the player it makes sense to loan him back one season.

Can't sell Kos anymore then, though.

Getting him for €5m now and the rest of the sum next season would be good business.

 

[Jasard]

**** the loan just play the big lad.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If getting him on loan would lower the fee then I'm all up for it it could lower the fee from 30 to 20M
