Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: Summer 2020

[Tir Na Nog]

Runs up and down well but he gets embarrassed by quality wingers and his crossing is dire.

Imagine if Alphonso Davies was English, 200M player.

Full-backs are a massive part of modern football now. You can't get away with just having "decent" full-backs anymore. There'll be a ceiling over what you can achieve.

Chelsea are spending so much money...gonna be hilarious when Arsenal beat them to Champions League next season, with Willian for free being our only signing and best player.

 

[L3T5 PL4Y]

I'm surprised City and Chelsea aren't after White.

 

[Sammy1887]

Should have gone for someone like Lucas Digne.

 

[Sammy1887]

25 million Leicseter bid for Kieran Tierney incoming

 

[L3T5 PL4Y]

Sarr I like but he is far too short.

Yeah exactly. Look at Man Utd, had to spend big money on AWB and he’s one of the best defensive full backs I can remember.

Already though they’re considering moving him to CB because he doesn’t offer enough going forwards.

They’ll have to hope that Reece James develops on the other side or they’re in trouble.

Leicester are *****.

I thought they wanted 80m ffs that would have been comical.

Can we get Soyuncu for 30m?

 

[Manberg]

I don't rate Chilwell. Didn't he have a poor spell at one point and was getting criticism from his fans after getting destroyed by Mahrez?

edit: This is what I remember of Chilwell. Mahrez was destroying him all game.

 

[2Smokeyy]

It’s quite obvious that Leicester are going to go for Jamal Lewis now, I think he’d be a good signing for them.

To criticise Leicester over this transfer is a bit ridiculous. They keep robbing teams blind and finding replacements.

 

[A_G]

As soon as Orny tweets about Chilwell lmfao

 

[say yes]

Hearing that Alonso has offered to pick up Chilwell from the airport.

No, Chelsea were desperate I think they would have paid more than 50m tbh.

They paid 70m for Kepa ffs.

We don't know how the negotiations went, maybe 50 was as high as it could go. It's a pretty ridiculous fee as it is. Going by the Maguire deal, Leicester seem pretty good negotiators to me.

It’s a ridiculous fee but Chelsea fans are going to argue that City spend 50m on fullbacks every summer and you have to pay a premium to sign England internationals.

Didn’t Cancelo go for 50m?

I think 80m would have put immense pressure on Frank Lampard if Chilwell flops.

Attletic Bilbao genuinely don't negotiate...you either pay the release clause, or their player leaves for free at the end of his contact.

Don't think this one is on Chelsea.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

They've overpaid by about £20M but he's still a quality left back and improves them. So far Chelsea are winning the window but still need a keeper. Looks like Thiago Silva will be their CB option which really isn't good enough either.

So so wrong
