    We really need to get this done fast, as Sporting has already found a replacement, who if they get, will further furstrate Man U and Liverpool (if reports are to be believed).

    more insults, gosh you really are getting a bit trsty aren;t you?

    and it wasn't just one report, plus there are some relatively reliable sources for it so it appears to have substance

    Indeed, although it's by good fortune rather than design as there's little doubt Arteta wanted Sesko, just as he was so keen to get Mudryk a few years ago - when you consider how none of Merino, Cala or Havertz are much good in the positions he signed them for (and going further back people like Zin and Jesus), plus maintaining Saliba 'wasn't ready' when clearly he was a worldbeater, his judgement can only be described as suspect - not every signing has been a fail, but were some of those Edu/Berta signings that's the question

    Again no not an insult, an observation. I’m sorry you find me telling you what you are insulting. Maybe don’t jump on people’s posts all the time in a desperate need to be right. Especially when you’re struggling badly to tell the difference between fact and opinion.

    (Let me save you a reply - something, something on here all the time…arguing till the other person gives up)


    There are multiple outlets reporting the same story.
    Plus your logic is multiple “sources” absolutely accurate, multiple accusers….we simply don’t know.

    All I can see is that Nwaneri has one year left on his contract, Chelsea May or may not have enquired about his services. If Fabrizio Romano is your reliable source this was the guy who reported that Fabregas had agreed to take over at Inter.

    But I’ll tell you what, stop trying to be a smart arse with me all the time and we won’t have to waste each others time. I have no particular desire to engage with you, stick me on ignore if it makes you happier

    Does anyone have an idea who the talented young defender we're apparently willing to swap for Eze is?

    i hope not, I thought he looked good in last year's pre-season and it was s mystery to me why he didn't get some minutes once the season started - actually it isn't, because Arteta wanted to play Partey there...

    I don’t want this player (and I’m not going to say any more on this because I’ve set out my stall on why I think it’s a bad purchase) but what I want even less is a protracted transfer saga, if the club are going to sign him get it done (and hopefully not have massive buyers remorse) get it done quickly.

    I’ve softened a lot on Eze because I think he could be useful against a low block, so as long as it isn’t silly money could be a useful player

    Madueke? Well I think we need squad depth (especially if we get rid of players like Nelson) so again depends on the price

    Rodrygo I don’t see happening unless we get rid of Martinelli

    The Spanish defender Mosquera, I think talks have broken down because of asking price but again I don’t really want us to sign a defender

    Norgaard? Done and dusted, just waiting for the announcement

    I abosolutey want him and think he could be at least a minor club legend if allowed to play as he can

    My only worry is Arteta stifling how he plays through slow build up and asking him to play in a position or structure that doesn't get the best out of him

    That said Arteta does sometimes adjust when it's plain his original idea for a player was wrong, e.g. with Havertz and Rice

    Saw an interesting vid this morning about Gabriel Heinze and how he like to play a more attack minded game, so hopefully that will convince Arteta to revert back to our more quicker paced football.
    It would certainly work with Goku being added.
