We are desperate to have him on board, well I am anyway, I'm not so sure a midfield of Xhaka and El Neny is the way forward!Quote:

He's going to sit it out like the c*nt he is.Quote:

The likes of Mustafi and Ozil at this stage appear to be in the "untransferable" bracket, in that no team is daft enough to make an offer, let alone match their current insane wages. In Ozil's case, I don't think we are in a position to pay him off, it will cost us millions.
The sad thing is we genuinely appear to have some kind of sensible plan to improve / rebuild the squad...but it hinges on outs. Where this becomes a bottleneck is that we have largely a squad of duds who are by all accounts seem very difficult to shift. Even some of our more what you would think would be sort after players, seem to be attracting little to no interest.
Spot on with everything you said, we can't shift any of these guys unless we pay them off or loan them out and we can't spend much before we sell, it's a shocking state of affairs and just shows how bad our transfer dealings have been.Quote:

Mhkitaryan we paid off to leave it seems, Holding Newcastle are only interested in a loan, even Kolasinac Schalke only seem to have an interest in loaning (this is the guy that came from there and was apparently good?). The others noone is interested in it seems.
the mistake is trying to get any money for somone like Mustafi - just get rid for free, then at least we're not paying his wages, neither do we have to look at his ugly face again
Gabriel is official
It would take a miracle to get rid of fairycake in any transfer window.Quote:

What football team in the world is going to want a 'player' like that ?
He is fucking useless as well, lets not forget.

£25m + £5m in add-ons for Bellerin?
I like Hector, but that’s really tempting, especially given his injury record and the fact that we have 3 RBs...
I would drive him there personally myself, we should bite their hand off for this given it will most likely secure us Partey.Quote:

Adding Partey & Aouar to our midfield would be a 10 /10 window for me, both are amongst the very best in Europe in their positions right now, they would be major coups for us and would massively improve this team. In the case of Aouar, if he continues to develop he will be legit world class in the next few years.
Would be sad to see him go personally. He’s had an injury plagued 2 years but I think he’s still got plenty to give. Of course I get the situation though and it’s a tempting offer for sure, hopefully we push for something closer to 40m, PSG have a bottomless pit of money after all. If we’re going to sell our players of value then at least make it worthwhile.
