Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: Summer 2021

We should go in for him, think he's part of our 250m spree.

I'd be putting Saka in the 10 role if it meant Sterling would come in.

250m on Kane and Grealish to win the league and league cup and people will make out Pep is some genius lmao.

Nah; Sterling left, Saka right, Auba upfront and Pepe back in France

 

[Kysus]

Need to go all out on Bernardo Silva now

 

[bingobob]

Sterling can play on the left, we can drop Pepe for all I care tbh he's not that good.

Fair enough.

Personally I dont see the need for Sterling (probably the way some don't see the need for Ben White) and arguably Pepe was our best player in the last few games so I'd hope he retains his starting place. Dropping him would be a logical if not at least unfair outcome.

Imagine going from Man City where you miss 10 chances a game to Tets' Arsenal, where you would get 1 chance a game.

Have mercy on Raheem.

Imagine paying 100m and 125m respectfully for Grealish and Kane because they are English. Just go abroad and pick up better value elsewhere.

There's nobody abroad as good as Grealish right now. Same with Kane unless you spend £200M on Haaland or £300M on Mbappe.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

It's good to put to bed the nonsense that some on here that he'd settle for a sideways move to us over a properly ambitious club like City

Their owners will recover 250m in space of hours .

the Ornbomb drops

Look like it happening. Think villa will try keep him but Grealish might not have another chance to move to club that win trophies he'll need to be careful or he'll be new Zaha

 

[Stevo the Villan]

@Stevo the Villan Next season eh?

I'd still be surprised if it happens this summer but I can't begrudge him the move. It would certainly make the ESR pursuit make more sense (Oh but that's all PR and "trolling" isn't it?)

Talksport and Sky already climbing down over these reports by the way. They're now saying it's "hopeful" a deal will be done.

We'll see. £100m is about right if he does go.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Its done lol, Villa wouldn't be bidding for ESR otherwise. They know its coming, they know he's going. It will probably be £85M + £15M add ons.

Benzema, Ronaldo, Calvert Lewin, Lewandowski and Lukaku could all be bought for less than 125m and would represent better value. Depay just moved to Barcelona on a free, Sancho is moving to United for less than the Grealish fee by the AM drive for value those represent better options surely?

I'm just arguing this because value is such a silly concept in football. Value is irrelevant. Signing a player that delivers is all that matters doesn't matter if that players costs 1m or 125m.

I was going to say the same thing.
Value doesn't matter to a club like Man City.

Why would they sign DCL for better "value" when they can sign Kane who is just better

That’s only for City or the other oil clubs though. if City pays a lot and the player flops, they will just move on and spend big on another player again. Other clubs will be stuck trying to make it work.

City should sign Giroud and Willian for 5m combined, fantastic value.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's just going to be extremely difficult for teams to match city power don't think Chelsea or manutd can even come close man city have ability to go 150m for player without problems unlike utd who been dealing with Sancho for 2 years and look to get best deal possible. And we all worried about us spending 45m on white ffs the difference is huge.
