Would definitely take 40m.

Tierney spotted at all Scottish airports.
Track those flights. :scarf:
Real Madrid are trying to sign Neymar.
Sounds like Tierney could be done. :popcorn:
Well agreed the fee.
He's ours. :bow:
Scots getting shafted by the English again. Sorry Maccy. Couldnt help myself
I'm not Scottish!
Jof's the Scottish one out of the Red names on here.
Irish on my Dad's side though.
Half the squad won't be ready for Newcastle anyway, so feels like it will be a while before we really see the team for the long term come together.
Would take Side show Bob over Mustafi.
Well it's good that we've added quite a few players to the squad baring in mind that it probably will be the last time we do so until next season.
If we can get in a CB tomorrow, shift on Mustafi and Elneny, that is a pretty damn good window, addressing issues with the squad and shifting on dead wood, all in one window with limited funds.
Luiz for 8 million pounds apparently...
That would be more like it.
If you’d asked me to pick a reliable, no frills, disciplined CB to settle our defence down, I would definitely have said David Luiz
Cancelo to City is confirmed for £60m.
That’s £140m they’ve spent this summer. Guardiola was right, they def couldn’t afford Maguire :rolleyes:
Hopefully we can turf Mustafi but the fucker wants to stay and no one is interested anyway. :lol:
No issue with Luiz. He’s clearly a short term option as we can’t afford anyone younger and better for now.
I don’t think he’s any worse than what we currently have and in some ways he may even be better because he’s a ball playing CB, which fits into Emery’s style.
If the fee is reasonable then go for it.
With Tierney coming I guess that probably means Kola will be leaving, as Monreal will be one of the captains and only used as CB in a three, plus we just activated his one year extension. Although maybe Kola will go in January once Tierney is up to speed.
It’s all very much Emery’s team now - he has to make it count now.
Having Bellerin back and Tierney means our back 4 will be much better (and younger). It had been our problem for years and we have never fixed it properly. We need to build a team from the back and make sure we have a system for for the players we have.
David Luiz is a done deal according to some. Not the greatest or most reliable CBs but an upgrade on Mustafi and brings a calmness and experience. His range of passing is exceptional.
Luiz is uselss at defendng so he'd fit right in at Arsenal. He's like a clone of Mustafi, chasing the ball and diving in without being aware of anything else happening around him.
If he's under £10m then it's not bad as a short term option though.
On the flip side he’s probably better at dealing with the press and may even distribute the ball better than Xhaka...
Granted that doesn’t mean much when he’s constantly charging out of position. :lol:
Don’t know how United have managed to bag 73m for Lukaku.
Very underwhelmed with the Luiz signing but hope to be proved wrong. I guess he fills a gap until Holding is back up to speed.
Glad Tierney looks to be happening. If that goes through and we get an experienced CB then overall it's been a decent summer.
We're finally clearing some of the dead wood as well so fair play to Raul for that
8m confirmed by Orny just now. Both players to have medicals today so sounds like its just the formalities now.
At least we haven't had to overpay, with clubs knowing our desperate situation that could have easily happened. Sounds like the Rugani deal was a bullet dodged.

8 million say BBC.
Spuds are also close to a Dybala deal according to Ornstein.
Pretty good business from them really if they get him on top of Ndombele and Lo Celso.
£8m isn't bad to to be fair. We had to get someone in after Koscielny fucked off.
Emery did say we tried to sign 'important, expensive' defenders so hopefully we can get one in next summer.
Decent price really with half recouped from Captain Cunts sale.
Has to be Luiz and Sok as the first choice pairing this season?
