By Grizzled Cola Go To PostWhen was the last time a player urged to move to another team who are considered a domestic rival in the PL, where its clear they want to go, but ends up staying? Heinz to Liverpool?Suarez to Arsenal, even if we only delayed his departure by a year
City didn't bid for the GOAT when he wanted to join them so why would they go out their way to make a bid for a scrub like Alexis.
If anything Arsenal should have been writing up the paperwork for them.

By Hitch Go To PostWa pretty obvious briefed bullshit that we'd be willing to spend that much without selling Coutinho. If we actually thought we could get Coutinh sold, and Lemar & VVD in on the last day, with Lemar and Coutinho being away on international duty, with Lemar playing tonight, we're a bit naive.Half empty/Half full glass there.
Hoped we'd get Lemar in, reckon we might have done as well if we hadn't just spent so much on Ox.
Not a good window imo. Have high hopes for Salah and Keita, but the latter won't arrive til next year, we've failed to adress the centreback issue, and bought in a poor option for the midfield depth we needed. I can forgive us cheaping out at leftback since there seemed to be so few good options out there.
Absolutely vital that we stand firm on Coutinho now
6.5/10 I would say.
Sky claim Lemar rejected Arsenal as he wants Liverpool (and CL football).
Maybe they're just chatting shit, who knows.

By Francis Go To PostTorino have signed Niang on loan, with an option to buy at the end of the season.Actually with an obligation to buy. €2m now, €15m next summer and €2m in easy to obtain bonuses.
By Wengward Go To PostYes, really.I'm a big fan of Sanchez. I think he has the capability to change things around and turn draws or losses into wins.
but I havent really been convinced with City so far. They have so much firepower but at times it's like they're shooting farts than shots.
By Ushojax Go To PostTo get them to change their mind?But that is akin to suggesting that interest and willingness to pay is not known unless you send over some official email or fax. Everyone knew City's position. If City put in an official bid of 50m before this and Arsenal turned it down immediately.. is the situation any different than today? Arsenal weren't willing to sell him until today and that wouldn't have changed if an email had been sent.
I think he'll have a good season with them either way. He's a professional.
By rossonero Go To PostActually with an obligation to buy. €2m now, €15m next summer and €2m in easy to obtain bonuses.Well, there you go. Obligation it is.
Pardon me.
No one knows shit. People quoting Goal Twitter accounts like they have any idea what the fuck is happening behind closed doors. Please.
Chelsea have signed Zappacosta out of nowhere and no one reported shit about it before he was due to have a medical. That doesn't just happen within minutes of a phone call.
These "journalists" firing off 60 tweets an hour linking to their site are all 🚮.

If you had bid 60m yesterday we almost certainly would have taken it.
Nothing has changed today.
By batong Go To PostHalf empty/Half full glass there.Really do wish we'd bring Sakho back into the fold if he isn't sold. We somehow have less CBs than we did in May now that Lucas has gone lol
6.5/10 I would say.
We all assume Gomez can play there but I think he's only done it once for the first team. Wonder if we might drop him into the U23s for a while when Clyne is back, just so he can get some more CB experience instead of sitting on the bench or in the stands as a rightback.
By Kidjr Go To PostI'd actually fucking effort to go Emirates for next game if we sold Sanchez without a replacement
I'd sub and like if you put it on youtube
By Francis Go To PostWell, there you go. Obligation it is.Surprised no PL team was in for him. Thought he did well enough with Watford last spring.
Pardon me.
By Doicare Go To PostArsenal are like bad sex, no one is coming.
Even your posts not related to luck are shit.

By Wengward Go To PostIf you had bid 60m yesterday we almost certainly would have taken it.That could be true, but it apparently all hinged on Arsenal signing a replacement which they failed to do. So it's a bit moot when some nebulous official offer was sent.
Nothing has changed today.
By GQman2121 Go To PostNo one knows shit. People quoting Goal Twitter accounts like they have any idea what the fuck is happening behind closed doors. Please.No, not all. Some have legit sources.

Transfers like Zappacosta and Naby Keita where things are perfectly kept under wraps is rare.
It's like you forgot all the reports about Bakayoko, Lukaku/Morata, Rudiger weeks before the transfers even happened.
By Meier Go To PostThat could be true, but it apparently all hinged on Arsenal signing a replacement which they failed to do. So it's a bit moot when some nebulous official offer was sent.
Well we couldn't sign a replacement until we knew Sanchez was being sold.
And you didn't bid. Nothing to do with a nebulous offer. You clearly thought he was for sale as you did end up bidding for him. Were we supposed to go to City and say "he is for sale now!"
By GQman2121 Go To PostMore like healthy investments.
Broke motherfuckers
By GQman2121 Go To Postbroke and still can sign more players than your club
Broke motherfuckers
Be fair.
Chelsea didn't know they were signing Zappacosta until about 12pm today either. Llorente didn't turn up so they had to go find someone. How's a journalist going to know that.

Just because you can't make a sexual partner get off withouck luck, doesn't mean the rest of us can't.
By Plasma Go To PostWhat a clusterfuck this window has been.
This is actually one of the best of the banter era.
I'm kind of ambivalent about Evans but I thought we were finally gonna get rid of Big Quimy. I like him but he has no place at the team under Pep.
By Pennywise Go To PostMore like healthy investments.You got Sancho, huh? Fuckin hell, sold for 200m in 3 years innit...
By Meier Go To PostMy man Mangala.

Go for Sakho, De Boer. Hitch is wrong, Klopp won't change his mind.
By inky Go To PostYou got Sancho, huh? Fuckin hell, sold for 200m in 3 years innit…We signed Sancho,Yarmolenko,Toljan,Philipp,Dahoud,Zagadou,Toprak.
By batong Go To PostMy man Mangala.Sakho is still better than Lovren. Keeping him is the best solution to not getting Dijk
Go for Sakho, De Boer. Hitch is wrong, Klopp won't change his mind.
Sanchez Lacazette Danny
-------------Ozil
------Xhaka Ramsey
Mon Kos Mustafi Bellerin
-----------Cech

By Pennywise Go To PostWe signed Sancho,Yarmolenko,Toljan,Philipp,Dahoud,Zagadou,Toprak.nice window. But I think the coach is the most important signing, if he delivers.
Zeegellar confirmed at Watford for 3M€ and we get 30% of the difference of a future sale.
Thank fuck for that, only Schellotto and Bryan Ruiz left to sell.

Let's see if that rumor about Coutinho going to Barca is true (probably not)

By batong Go To PostMy man Mangala.I know he won't, and would rather sell him for £30m than keep him with no intention of playing him
Go for Sakho, De Boer. Hitch is wrong, Klopp won't change his mind.
Still a bit daft though.
By Francis Go To PostWhy would you reject ∼£20 million for Calum Chambers? Goddamn, Wengy.
Because it would leave us with 3 center backs.
