Sven's Transfer Targets: Summer 2018

[Hunta]

The Russians have had their eyes on you two as well once upon a time:

Haha never knew I hated Arshavin so much.

From Sky Sports:

GUNNERS CHASE SERBIAN

Arsenal are reported to be hot on the heels of Andrija Zivkovic, according to Sports Witness. The Serbian midfielder, 21, plays as a wide-man for Portuguese side Benfica, and has a €60m buy-out clause in his contract in Lisbon.

Also, I've seen Arsenal linked with Martial and Alderweireld in the past 24 hours, but I think those were from the Sun and the Daily Star. They're all about as reliable as some random guy on Twitter.

The Serbians produce good midfielders, so that's promising. Feel free to start a thread for him.

I'd be happy with a couple Mavrapanos left field signings, as long as it was supplemented with a couple of Auba or !khi level established signings. This summer is exciting.

Part 2

EDIT: just noticed, that Arsenal isn't mentioned in article as any other club. His agent is saying, that it's possible that Pavon is playing last games at Boca. If right offer will come, he might leave. He has 25mln euros release clause.

Part 2

This lads quality right? Heard good things about Lautaro Martinez as well but he’s gone I think.

reckon FK should be banned on here personally

 

[Hunta]

If the new coach is Arteta, and the budget of £50m is true, I reckon you’re looking at something like this:

Lafont, Sokratis, Soyuncu, Golovin.

Get that lot for around £80m and we’ll sell a few. Depressing stuff.

Anyone seen this guy play?

Rated the best keeper in the Bundesliga apparently.

Kicker are seriously biased in their grading, it's widely known by most german fans that Kicker grades are ridiculous.

Best 5 keepers in the BL? Neuer, Fährmann, Pavlenka, Hradecky, Zieler.

I quick sold at least 100 of him on FIFA. Don't want.

He came through the ranks in Belgium with Courtois when he was younger and was higher-rated, but then lost his way after making a career move that didn't pan out and then struggling. He's picked himself up though, and still has the potential that made him exciting when he was younger, so I think he's actually an interesting shout. Maybe less proven than Leno but I think there is something more interesting with Casteels, I think the latter has the potential to reach a higher level. And there is more hope for improvement in him here now with our rubbish goalkeeper coaches gone.

Reckon we'll see one or two marquee signings amongst a group of value-for-money/hidden gem signings. There must be a reason Sanllehi was brought in and it wasn't just to negotiate the signings of 16 year old French kids. Mislintat's the guy to unearth the lovely chair at the antiques market, Sanllehi's the guy to execute the major international arms deals.

I expect to see a few new chairs and a stockpile of missiles at London Colney come August.

It's gonna be a barber's chair and scissors for Arteta

 

[dashsnow17]

Leno, Koulibaly or Alderweireld, Seri or Zakaria, Malcom or Pavon...some half-decent fullbacks maybe. That'd do fine.

Charles Watts (not the Rolling Stones drummer) speculates on what the Arsenal lineup could look like at the end of the transfer window.
