Let's get cooking.

German international was Sane - TNAT

Never said the German was going to join. Bayern couldn’t do a deal because they didn’t get their targets.

Next year Palace will take 3x payments on the release clause for Eze. No guarantee we’ll go there for him - TNAT

Ok.

Any news? Or do we have faily news thread for January also?

What news are you expecting during an international break when the window just closed?

BENjamin!

What a peach of a goal. Annoying that we didn't bid for him as we were waiting to offload Eddie first. Sadly I think the chance to sign him has gone. Think he'll end up somewhere next year where he will be first choice.

He said no

He said no

I'm sure I heard that the Athletic said that we never actually bid although we were interested in him. We said we needed to offload first. However, Sesko wanted his future sorted quickly before Euros and opted to stay.

Benjamin Sesko shares why he rejected Arsenal transfer this summer

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko was high on Arsenal's wanted list this summer but a deal fell through at the last moment with the forward choosing to remain in the Bundesliga

Don’t think much can be gleaned from his comments either way. All he is explaining is why he decided to stay.

Was it @TinFish that made the legendary transfer flow chart?

Needs updating with a “is he a Chelsea reject?” decision box…

I think this season it works. Great suggestion I can try and update it when I have time lol.

He had a release clause. There was no need for a bid. You'll notice nobody triggered his release clause because he communicated to all interested parties that he was staying. He would be an Arsenal player if he wanted to leave. He was the primary target but logically you don't trigger the release clause unless the player is actually willing to leave which he was not. It's a weird thing to be presented evidence that he chose not to move and then keep arguing for no reason when your assertion is proven wrong.

I wonder if Rabiot is under consideration at all with Merino/Ode out. Jorginho has been a no-show this season so who knows what’s happening there.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Should we get rabiot or someone on a free?

I'd be surprised if we do. It doesn't seem to be in line with our transfer priorities in recent times. You might argue that the injuries makes this a potential proposition, but what signal do that send to our younger players?

We'll see, but I think it is unlikely.

I don't care signals to young players when half midfield is out already

vs Gyokares

Wow! why didn't anyone sign him?

 

[B77]

Good finishing but also abysmal defending

Reckon it was Seško or no one at CF this summer. He knew he wouldn’t be first choice and didn’t want to impede his own development. Good on him. He’ll be here next summer and then he will be at least odds on to start. If we’re looking real short in January (inevitable Jesus injury etc) we’ll see us try for him then already.
