Having 6 CB won't also help get another CB looks like kosh is off Emery seem not happy with his attitude and hopefully someone give us 20m for Chambers

I really don't rate Emery, but this is not on him but on Raul and his ****ty oldschool greasy agent network. Getting taken to the cleaners here, no business mid July, unable to offload, unable get deals done, seemingly no Plan B. Would also bet on Martinelli being off an old Mislintat shopping list as long as he was linked. Shambolic, no concept, no urge.

I think if we have enough money we could have Tierney Zaha Saliba all singed by now the problem not on him it's the available funds for him

Why go for a plan B when your plan A is very close to working?

Plan A - Martinelli, Saliba, Tierney, Zaha.

There's all the links with these group of players, but tbh to me it doesn't feel like plan A is really close to working. Haven't seen any serious quotes on here that suggest so.

Saliba and Tierney are very likely to be done within the next 10 days from reputable sources as well.

If both of those go tits up then its definitely a cause for concern but i'm quite confident on both. Winger situation is more up in the air but we have a plan B for that.

Francis Cagigao scouted Martinelli and pushed for the deal. This 'Mislintat list' stuff is reaching mythical status.

Unable to offload, said that as well. Look at Kos. Apparently the guy wants to leave, he's probably said that some time ago, he's now went on strike, club still can't find a solution - and I'm not talking about gifting him away by terminating his contract, but just sell him on for a reasonable fee. 10m is a bonkers evaluation considering his paycheck in England, no one abroad except the Chinese can afford him that way: The overall package is too damn expensive for a player of his profile. Get around half of it and be done, but no, it's been about a week since that story broke and nothing has happened.

Oh yeah, the magical Cagigao Slartibartfast was always talking about. Well where's that guy now - ain't getting stuff done for Arsenal as it seems. Tbh this Cagigao stuff was getting funny. Guy's been a blank slate for decades, no one's lured him away from Arsenal, never climbed the latter, there's no big fuss about him being some super scout, nothing substantial to find on his work on the web. But you know he scouted Martinelli, yeah right. Also funny how it's always the same people getting triggered by the name Mislintat.

Where does it say that? That's just made up. I'm following all the "reputable" sources you other guys post on here, and virtually none said "Arsenal will sign Saliba and Tierney in the next 10 days". It's ****ing conjecture.

We’ve had a bid accepted for Saliba and reports suggest we’re his preferred destination. Scottish reports suggest the Tierney one is more when it happens not if it happens. These are players we’ve targeted from Day 1. The only “plan A” signing that doesn’t look like happening is Zaha.

I mean not directly, obviously.

Third bid being put in for Tierney, likely to be accepted. Saliba future decided in the coming days. You fully expect both to be done or left within the next 10 days.

Just thinking logically about it knowing what we currently know.

But it's still in the regions of "close" or "payments just need restructuring". I get that some want to feel optimistic, but tbh I don't feel like the news have seriously changed recently. And even then, I'm still baffled deals for Tierney and Saliba probably worth around 50m couldn't get done earlier.

And that's that. It's the same "second bid put in, likely to be accepted", "thrid bid in, likely to be accepted", "deals close", "deals imminent", etc. when in fact no one seems to have clear intel. Going about this the way you do you could have said 4 weeks ago Arsenal would sign Saliba and Tierney in the next 10 days - well, blimey, 4 weeks are gone and they're not here. No way convinced these deals will get done quickly.

I mean the whole point is they are our plan A and are likely to be done. We have a fantastic plan B for Zaha in Soares as well.
