Arteta and Edu Transfer Targets: Summer 2020

[TornadoTed]

It isn't an issue. Got to take into consideration loans, sales and youngsters getting europa league minutes in the early stages.

Leno, Martinez, Macey
Bellerin, AMN, Cedric
Saliba, Chambers OR Holding, Mustafi OR Sokratis
Gabriel, Mari, Luiz
Ceballos, Xhaka
Partey, Willock
Coutinho, Özil
Willian, Saka
Auba, Martinelli, Nketiah
Pepe, Nelson

Expect the squad to be trimmed to around 26 or 27 players by the end of the window. Players like ESR will be sent out on loan, Chambers, Mustafi, Mari and Martinelli are also all injured so its fine imo.

I am absolutely fine with that squad you have listed, that is 25 players though which means we need to shift 11 players which was my original point.

I'm just worried that we will maybe get 5-6 out and be left with 5-6 'dead' players next season, I'm resigned to Özil being here but any more than that would be disappointing.

I mean realistically Elneny, Sokratis, Holding, Torreira, Guendouzi and Laca will be sold or even loaned if we really cant do deals for them. Then some youngsters loaned out.

Yes I think that we can easily find loans for our youngsters, they are a really good bunch, Elneny too. Being able to shift the other 5 players you list worries me though.

The thing im worried about the most is shifting on our mediocrity this window as most clubs that normally do sign those kinda players are broke.

Holding is the only one who is easy as he is english, big, low wages and would be willing to move within the league.

Torreira will be problematic i think, mostly because he will probably want to move to a busto Serie A club and decline offers from lower tier premier league clubs.
Maaaaaaaaybe we are lucky and gattuso decides to make him his pet project.

Guendo everyone knows we wanna get rid, with his ego he will be picky so meh difficult

Elneny should just move to WBA or whatever, we never gonna get something from turkish clubs.

Sokratis would be perfect for a bottom table premier league team. If he is willing to go shifting him to a Bundesliga /premier league team for a small fee shouldbe easy enough.

Mustafi will stay as will chambers.

Laca will stay unless someone decides to offer us stupid money.

Seems about right. I reckon Gabriel is more likely on £70k~ if he comes. In the Torreira/Tierney category, but otherwise more or less correct I think. Hope we can limit Auba's wage increase to 50k and hope we don't say Coutinho.

these wages and transfer/sign-on fees are just a ballpark figures
Willian - 130k - 3m
Coutinho - 200k - 5m
Gabriel - 100k - 25m
Auba - 100k - 5m (addon on his current deal)
Partey - 130k - 50m
Ceballos - 50k - 1m

So 710k wages increase = 37m a year and 90m in transfer/sign-on fees fees

If we can move Sokratis, Holding, Torreira, Guendouzi, Laca then we might even be able to break even

Mkhi very likely going will free up something like £180k per week? And didn’t we pay for Ceballos wages this year? Also Saka new deal, will bump up a further £30k?

If we also reduce Gabriel to around 70k (which is mire likely) that’s around 250k net decrease from the 710k for a total of £460k.

Torreira will be problematic i think, mostly because he will probably want to move to a busto Serie A club and decline offers from lower tier premier league clubs.

Torreira will surely have a decent market in Italy.

if you are going to take those into account then dont we take into account Saliba, Mari and Cedric (wages) deals

 

[jmsmtthw28]

I dont think Torreira has any suitors right now, Milan were interested but they bought Bennacer

 

[Sebastes]

Yes, ofc. My point was to take all into account but I obviously failed miserably there

 

[truth_hurts]

Is a summer of Partey, Willian, Gabriel, Ceballos, Coutinho a perfect summer?

Think it’s as good as you can get tbf. I’d like an Ollie Watkins or Ismaila Sarr as a squad option as well perhaps but that’s almost complete.

Depends on whether Gabriel is a Soyoncu (low price and high quality) or a Mangala (low price and shocking quality). If Gabriel is coming in as our best defender then it would be a 9.5 out of 10 summer for me provided that we tie Auba up.

 

[dashsnow17]

We'd better hurry up and announce someone soon. I'm going on me holidays this week and I'll be damned if i'm gonna be spending my holidays reading this piece of sh*t forum. No offence.

55 redundancies.

55 redundancies.

2 of the 55 are Özil and Elneny, right?

Özil is the reason half of them are going, disgusting human being.

Sickened I am.

Arsenal confirming KSE investing and helping with stadium debt is related to how much we can spend on players.

Makes sense, we will be able to spend what we usually spend not including sales which is around 50-80M.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Its very sad for people losing their job 55 is big number too. hopefully everything back to normal soon.

 

[truth_hurts]

Great news. Must mean that we are no longer loan to buy fc.

 

[Hunta]

Great news that 55 people have lost their jobs? What **** you are.

Out! out! out!

Arsenal are a business like any other. If 55 redundancies need to be made then so be it. We don't know the ins and outs of those redundancies, its the way of the world.

Do remember Arsenal have 1,125 employees. So 55 out of that many is actually good going considering whats happening.
