Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: Summer 2019

[Yousif Arsenal]

Is Maguire deal agreed? I'm seeing nothing from reliable journalists or even sky sports

 

[SingmeasongSong]

English players cost more, you’re not telling us anything new.

Tah is a good shout, but Utd want somebody who’ll come in straight away and perform, Tah will need time to adjust to the league.

In the end all that matters is whether Maguire makes them stronger and more likely for them to make top 4, which can be answered with a big yes.

But in regard to your statement of 60m being worse for Zaha than 80m for Maguire I dont agree. Even though I'd cap myself at 50+redundant players for him.

Considering what's a bigger upgrade on the team and the overall functional workings of the squad, Zaha has a greater effect and thus improves us more than a Maguire does in comparison to their current options.

I already said that before, we've actual non-functional parts in the team, like real blackholes, something the others have not. We can improve more easily.

Don’t forget Utd paid 55M for Bissaka. That straight away dictates the market. You go for a more experienced and more established English defender, you’ll have to pay much more than 55M.

Bingo.

Sad ending for bale if he going to china. Still has the ability to preform in high level

 

[Sanchez11]

China what a waste

 

[Jakarta]

What a crazy market....Leicester will be grinning from ear to ear tho.

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Alderweireld, De Ligt, Inter Milan CB's, Varane probably wouldn't be 80M and I'm not sure Koulibaly would be either. They all start at 100M and go down.

Maguire will now constantly be compared to VVD and expect to have the same impact, which he won't.

Your options are limited when these big players don't even consider joining you.

De Ligt and Koulibaly we went for but no interest.

His choice. He's been on so much money for 6 years. His family and generations to come are set. He could take a pay cut to play somewhere proper but he doesn't want to.

Doesn't care about his career if he goes to China. Weird for me though, surely you'd rather live in Europe

Reading bale to earn 1 million a week in China

Vincent Janssen leaving Sp**s for 7m, not playing at all. Meanwhile Elneny and Jenks are feasting on our costs, eventually leaving for nothing.

That's the power of a deep CL run - brand awareness.

Our brand is ****ing terrible right now that's why we can't sell anyone, granted we've never really been good at selling players but the Arsenal brand has taken a huge hit over the past three seasons.

Look at the players we used to be able to flog to Barca, now no one wants to touch our players because a) they're overpaid and b) we're ****

When not injured.

He’s still good for Real when he’s played it’s just the injuries and the time it takes to recover isn’t really worth it at 650k a week.

I don't think we've ever sold well to Barca.

Henry? Sure, his first season was a mess but Barca in itself was a mess during that period. The second season was a big success though and he was instrumental in the team that won the triple.

 

[Lakersgooner24]

In regards to Bale, perhaps he doesn't want to/doesn't have the confidence in his body holding up to continue playing at the high intensity level of European football and would rather now play in a less demanding league due to his injury issues.

If the 1m/week offer is true, that probably explains it, but he's reportedly on 600k/week before tax at Madrid already, so it'd say a lot for his mindset as a sportsman if he was already swayed into a retirement league due to some more cash.

Whatever the reason, it'd be a shame, as even though he was a spud, he was an electrifying player at his peak. You want to see the top players in the top leagues, and you feel he still has something to offer at the highest level.

Bale is an Arsenal fan tbf. Probably doesnt feel anything for Sp**s.

I dont believe bale is on 650k a week.I mean Madrid can be stupid but not this stupid.He must be around 300 to 350k a week like our very own Mesut.
