By Cleff Go To PostBased on what we've read in the media Arsenal wouldn't have the money to sign Aouar.It was the same like last season when we only had 45m to spend reportedly and bought Pepe alone for 72
It's all #strats
But yeah, Aouar won't come, but he will definitely leave Lyon.
I would still give Guendouzi one more chance. I wonder what did he do to make us just give up on him.
Such a potential.

Such a potential.
People seem to forget that Guendouzi was basically the only player that in fact showed something and actually cared in the first half of last season.
But if what Dean said is true, then it's game over, which is a shame.

I think he's good but does not suit Arteta's style. I think that Brighton game was more of a one off piece of stupidity. I suspect he's just not a player Arteta likes. Happens all the time.
By Freewheelin Go To PostApparently he was disrespectful to Arteta during the training camp back in February and hasn’t shown any sign of changing that.I don't think he played after the game where he was talking shit to the other teams' players about making so much more money than them, right? That sort of trash talking doesn't usually go over very well in general. It sort of represents an immaturity that is hard to grow out of and so they probably just felt like his attitude in general would be an issue forever so they're moving him on while they can.
I liked Guendouzi from what I saw when Emery was managing. Still I dont know how he is off the pitch, and the probably could stem from there.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostGuendouzi one of those players that looks good because he runs around and touches the ball a lot.This has always been my impression form watching him play. That, and his refusal to run back during counters, some of which resulted in goals. That kind of shit infuriates me from attacking players who think they have no defensive responsibility, let alone from "workhorses".
Pains me to say it, but Arsenal could and will do better if they manage to move him on. Maybe I'm happy if they don't.
By Flutter Go To PostI liked Guendouzi from what I saw when Emery was managing. Still I dont know how he is off the pitch, and the probably could stem from there.Think because we had no tactics our players with more natural talent shined, and Guendouzi definitely has that, but he also never controlled games in that way our Arteta midfield has
By Xpike Go To PostThink because we had no tactics our players with more natural talent shined, and Guendouzi definitely has that, but he also never controlled games in that way our Arteta midfield hasYeah, probably. He probably just doesnt fit with the current Arsenal.
By Elchele Go To PostOzil is still at Arsenal? LOLThree hundred and fifty thousand elizabeths per week !
Ozil is like Eriksen one of those players that just annoys me. But I respect his dedication to getting every single pound of his arsenal contract. Even refusing to take a pay cut during Corona. Legend
By Laboured Go To PostI call bullshit (and it would be too late anyway).If that's actually the case then it would suggest to me that we've made a complete cock up of our transfer window and are flapping around for signings.
Or that an agent is using our name to nail down a better deal for Gabriel. Either scenario is extremely likely.
Apparently we have plucked some kid named Xavier Mbuyamba from Barcelona and he just signed a professional contract with us. Dutch, CB, comparisons to VVD, etc. Know nothing else about him other than what I've read in the past 30 minutes but can't help but laugh at Barcelona continuing to bleed young players.
Chelsea's press release says:
Chelsea's press release says:
Chelsea Football Club can also confirm the signing of Xavier Mbuyamba from Barcelona. The 18-year-old signed a professional contract at Cobham earlier this week and will join our development squad ahead of preparations for the new campaign.
A Dutch Under-19 international, Mbuyamba is a tall right-footed central defender who enjoys playing with the ball at his feet and is equally as strong in the air. He joined his local team MVV Maastrict as an Under-9 and progressed through the age groups before signing at the Nou Camp last summer.
After being watched closely by the Blues, the Dutchman has made the switch to west London, committing himself to the club until at least 2023.
By inky Go To PostIs Skriniar really for sale, Italian m9s?
Yes brother. Conte is not his greatest fan.
By inky Go To Postthats bloody good
By Laboured Go To PostYes brother. Conte is not his greatest fan.
Couldn't we, you know, use Smalling for that deal or something? Don't hear too many people interested :(
By Laboured Go To PostAs said before, Benfica want to keep their wage limit at 5M€ a year (2.5M€ for the player after taxes) so they are going to pay him wages during 6 years, instead of the 3 of the contract.
Portuguese press are saying that the deal will be done in the next 24h for about a week, some people are claiming that it hasn't been made official because Benfica want to present them at the stadium and they can only do that after the Champions League final on Sunday.
You would struggle to find a forward less suited to Barcelona's style. And he's not really that good either. Hope they sign him.
