Transfer: Summer Transfer Thread Part 6

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

@les Habs it was from cgf post in the other thread

would be even be 3rd string. You have pique /lenglet/ronald/ Garcia and Oscar. Maybe in that order.

 

[Elvis P]

I want Kingsley Coman.

 

[Live in the Now]

Okay so ~€75M on White, Lokonga and Tavares? Lmao

Yeah I've tried very hard to say nothing but that's one of the worst uses of 75 million humanly imaginable. Two of these players were never mentioned on this website and we pretty much talk about anyone and everyone. Ultimately time will tell though.

[Vasilevskiy]

Agreed another one I read is braithwaite to wolves for 15-20 mill. Lol if this happens I have to buy a wolves kit.

Yeah I do think there's a good chance of this one happening

Lenglet's a goner

It really is. We have the potential to build a superteam with our young pieces but Arteta and Edu are throwing that away. Saka, ESR, Tierney, Saliba, Joe ”7 in 7” Willock, Martinelli, Gabriel. That is a wonderful young core that we should add to with proven established stars and not guys like White, Tavares and Lokonga that don’t improve our first 11 at all.

I forgot converting White's supposed price into Euro's so it's actually like €10M more.

Hopefully. Gotta find a buyer first.

Yeah I don’t know what they’re thinking. Reminds me of that summer Wenger went insane on the last day and bought all trash.

That was Gazidis who overruled Wenger though. From 1996-2015 Arsenal were the best run club in the world thanks to Wenger but then we threw it all away in favour of ”stat led recruitment” and turned to shit. United spent 120 million on Fred, Dan James and Wan Bissaka though so I guess it could be worse

Beauty Waite will leave but I doubt we get that much.

I won’t believe anything until it’s done.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Arsenal was the best run club? Jesus

 

[les Habs]

Sounds like Dembele could get a renewal with Barça.

Arsenal had a smaller budget than West Ham, Villa and Everton between 2006 and 2013 because of the stadium move yet they finished top 4 and competed for trophies every year despite feeding off scraps. In Wenger’s early years Henry, Vieira, Van Persie, Fabregas, Ljungberg, Overmars, Anelka all signed extremely cheaply and made into superstars. No club comes close to being as well run.

Buchanan, a promising young Canadian might be making the jump to Europe soon:

I hope he does the Jonathan David route and chooses a decent attacking team that will give him starter playing time.

 

[bluesfan94]

Okay so ~€85M on White, Lokonga and Tavares? Lmao

Edit: forgot converting White's price to Euros. Even worse.

And are supposedly in for Locatelli.

I guess we could have been Spurs and spent that much on a manager search. At least you guys lost your best defender and Bale, again!

Right because HFboards is the mecca of soccer talent scouting. I bet if a team like Leicester signed those 2 players everyone would be saying, "much wow great scouting!"

I agree that we spent the money in bad way, but also agree that Leicester would be praised for it. At least those are all young players that hopefully develop well at the end of the day.

I don’t know how to respond to this, but we talk about everyone here. The only post about Lokonga prior to the signing from the one person here who watches the Belgian league said he had a bad season. Not like you watched him and have any proof to refute that.

Spurs spent much during their managerial search? Lost their best defender?

And where were the posts about Martinelli, Smith Rowe and Saka? All HFBoards did was say how shit Arsenal's academy is yet one became an England starter that had the balls to take the final penalty in an international finals.

Nah.

 

[les Habs]

If a club out there signs Coutinho, Griezmann, Umtiti, Lenglet, Braithwaite, Neto or Pjanic I will praise them. Even if it's Arsenal.

How much money did Arsenal spend on those three players?

I’ll wait all day for you to give me some f***ed up explanation about how that’s the same thing as spending 75 million. Talk about a serious false equivalency you drew up in your head there.
