    It seems like his stock is on the up on the hype department. I'm thinking they don't rate him that highly but the hype machine is rolling so they're trying to get their money's worth.

    Yeah, I'm not convinced - certainly not at that price! Hopefully we'll know what's going on with him pretty quickly now though, so one way or another we should be able to put this one to bed and stop talking about it...

    Yeah, could just be cashing in on the general shortage of strikers that are around at the moment? Don't see him as a Madird / Perez player though - not Hollywood enough - so I think we'll know where he's going pretty quick...

Can't imagine they'd be going to all the expense and hassle of bringing him back, with the intention of selling him, if they didn't already have a deal agreed with someone agreed though ? That could easily blow up in their face and leave them with a player they don't really need, if nothing is agreed with anyone, and no one bites. One way or another, I think we'll be able to conclusively rule him in or out as an option pretty quickly (and I suspect it will be a massive "out" at the prices being touted)...
    I reckon he'll be sold. They usually flog on one or two assets to help fund the basis over their stupid overpriced purchases. So if Pogba does end up there for example or Payet, or they want to bid another £100m for Modric again, getting shot of this guy helps.

    Our business may be done. When Wenger wants a player, he goes all out, Xhaka, Sanchez etc. The rest are hopeful punts, with no real conviction. Vardy may say no, and Wenger may just say well that's that. Wouldn't put it past him, even with the fabled 'war chest'.

    I think that's very unlikely.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Word is we've pulled out of the Morata chase and focusing on Lukaku.

    Is there really nothing better than Morata and Lukaku available? What are these scouts paid for? To bring us the names of players who are already being furiously touted around by agents?

    Fair enough. I like Lukaku - just wary of the asking price.

    I suppose those concerns are relative to how much other work the club are looking at getting done this summer? If we're genuinely only after another 2 players, then fuck it - wight as well blow the bank on getting our man (whoever that might be)! After all, what does it really matter when we'll be getting the money back again every summer as part of this new TV deal? On the other hand, if we're looking at a larger overhaul of the team / squad, then we might need to make that money stretch a bit further this summer - getting another 100-150m next year won't really matter much if we need the money now...

    Lukaku just reminds me of Emile Heskey.

    i.e. shit.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
