Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[HCZ_Reborn]

Nypan is about to be signed, apparently. One for later but still seems like a decent hire that other clubs of note were looking at.

The Norwegian lad?

Yeah whilst Nwaneri has played well this season I think he’s more going to be cover for Saka on the wing than playing centrally

Swedish, Norwegian? Never can remember what country Rosenborg plays in. Anyway, sounds like we're still in the lead in terms of bringing him here and that the plan is to put him straight into the squad, possibly even as a 10. I heard he was good, but he's also 18 years old and would have to maybe bulk up and acclimatise to the PL, so not sure about that. Would be like having Jack in there again which never really worked out.

Gyokeres hasn't been mentioned in an age so I doubt there's anything happening there. Vlahovic is on, off, on, off, at around 15 minute intervals. And Sesko is going nowhere according to his club, and he's joining Arsenal according to the player. So that sounds like a summer deal at best. Isak definitely won't be happening in January, according to Newcastle (se let's get him in February). And the stubborn Cuhna rumours just won't go away. Why we would ever want a player who is agitating to get a transfer is beyond me. He's eventually going to turn around and do the same to you, so there's no future in it.

And now some other kid is in the spotlight, Mathys Tel from Bayern. Never heard of him.

He’s a French boy who is the backup for Kane up front which means he never gets a look in.

His stats aren’t especially impressive

I’m of the view that we won’t sign a striker and we will hobble along to the end of the season

Another issue is that the transport around the Emirates is already pretty much at capacity.

Holloway Road and Drayton Park already have to be closed on matchdays, meaning the ones left open (Arsenal, Finsbury Park, Caledonian Road, Highbury and Islington) are completely flooded. Adding tens of thousands more people to that is a recipe for disaster.

The club would therefore have to pay the costs of not only the the expansion itself, but also for the upgrading of the tube/rail stations around it which would be gargantuan.

I think they should install a monorail

We are never getting Isak, that is a pipe dream. They would never sell him to a top 4 rival.

Newcastle are supposedly offering him a new deal and telling other suitors he is not for sale.

It's certainly starting to look that way.

Lot's of admiring, discussing, 'actively looking' but very little 'submitting an offer' to actually get anything done

Monorail, like for like Theo replacement.

I suppose they have enough cash now to actually follow through on that. Normally that's talk designed to force up the price. I heard they have been comparing him to Henry of late - I'm sure they didn't mean any offence. I;d say in the summer they'll come after us for something like £150mill. And we might just be desperate enough by that stage, especially if we follow the Wenger playbook this January.

Just seen this Arsenal and Spurs willing to pay £52m for Nico Williams That should be a hard choice Champions league football or Championship https://thehardtackle.com/transfer-n...nico-williams/

Again the issue as I can see it is wages. This is why we are trying to bring the player in on loan (like with Sterling likely with the agreement of the parent club of splitting the bill).

I don’t really give a fuck at this stage. I think the ship has sailed to win the league which is what I cared about, and as much as referees and injuries have screwed us…I won’t be satisfied until Arteta is hounded out of the club for his failure.

We know that Liverpool likely won’t be in contention if Salah goes in the summer, so I’m happier for us to make our transfer business about preparing for next season. I think it’s incredibly unlikely City will miss out on the title two seasons in a row given that we know that they aren’t going to get anything more than a slap on the wrist, but they could be in a transitionary period that gives us a small chance with the right signings and with Arteta gone
