Summer transfer joy and happiness

[Özim]

Looks like we're serious about getting this guy, honestly think the money could be better spent elsewhere, plus it's going to cost us a lot more to buy him so we'll be blowing most of our budget on this guy, Palace don't need the money after selling Wan-Bissaka. Palace would have to pay 25% to Man U and apparently don't want to sell him because it could affect the takeover.

The decisions this club makes are odd to say the least, but thankfully this probably doesn't have any legs given the amount we'd have to pay and the fact Palace don't want or need to sell.

The club will probably waste all summer trying to sign him now.

Can only hope Zaha kicks off and tries to force a move.

Not like Palace need the dough so this would be a bit of a coup if we pulled it off.

Not too sure, the guy is slightly above average and we'd be spending most of our budget on him, there are much better players out there than him we could buy for the same or less money we'd need to get this guy.

Up our ante with £40.01m plus Mustafi and Jenkinson

You seem to have the inside track,

Palace are incensed, and they call Arsenal ‘naive’

[SMatthews]

Raul knows how to be underhand, but I'm not wholly convinced this is a genuine attempt to get the player. The same day the kit comes out seems like a good day add to the PR.

We're good at that, but in this case I hope they get so incensed they don't let us have the player under any circumstances.

[SMatthews]

Nobelle is arriving for his medical apparently.

Roma apparently considering a move for Alderweireld, which would cover some of the costs.

[SMatthews]

Lampard looks nailed on, with Cocu to replace him at Derby.

Fekir has been offered to us for 30 million apparently, I'd take him at that price, very talented and only 25. Lot's of decent players on offer at a decent price, yet we seem intent on going for someone like Zaha who is overpriced and overrated, odd.
