Vesper

those were only a couple of the names I listed as potential options at winger Pepe went for far too much money anyway Malcom at least produces goals (granted in a lower league) top scorer in the 2022–23 Russian Premier League 35 total goals produced in only 2729 minutes, all comps 32 total produced in only 2349 minutes in the league

Leicester was poorly run post EPL trophy. Brighton is not.

EXCLUSIVE: Lavia wants Arsenal transfer over Liverpool and Chelsea https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2023/07/arsenal-transfer-news-romeo-lavia-liverpool-Chelsea-steve-kay-thomas-partey Romeo Lavia would prefer to join Arsenal over Liverpool or Chelsea this summer, FootbalTransfers has learned. Arsenal are in a three-horse race to sign the Southampton midfielder, along with Liverpool and Chelsea. However, as FootballTransfers exclusively reported last week, Arsenal have fallen behind their two Premier League rivals in the chase. READ MORE: Premier League 2023/24 summer transfers: All the Done Deals The reason for this is because of the time it is taking to complete the signing of Declan Rice and the sale of Thomas Partey. Arsenal cannot and will not complete a move for Lavia until Rice and Partey’s deals are resolved. With Rice’s transfer from West Ham now imminent, If Arsenal can find a way to sell Partey for a price they are satisfied with, then they will go back in for Lavia. Why Romeo Lavia wants Arsenal And FootballTransfers has learned that Lavia would prefer to sign for Arsenal over Liverpool and Chelsea if a price can be agreed with Southampton. There are multiple reasons for this. The offering of Champions League football, the presence of Mikel Arteta and the ‘Arsenal project’, and the image of a well-run club have given the Gunners the advantage over their rivals in the eyes of Lavia and many other transfer targets. Furthermore, Arsenal are able to pay better wages than Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool Tottenham and Chelsea this summer. This is due to the excellent job the club has done in the past three seasons at clearing out dead wood and cutting expenditure on wages. Agreeing a price with Southampton for Lavia could be tricky, as Arsenal are not willing to pay the £50 million that the relegated Premier League team are demanding. Arsenal are in a good position with the player, though. They have been talking to Lavia’s entourage since April. Talks have gone very well, which gives Arsenal the edge. But first Arsenal must sell Partey - and this is holding up the whole process.

none of them should have ever been purchased

I still cannot believe we dumped £118m on CuCu 🤬

the amortised loss we would take , and his high salary the only real hope atm is the Saudis

we have Nkunku, Felix is not coming back Baba is already gone Azpi is now gone Unless the Saudis want CuCu, I am so worried we cannot dump him the others you list likely will be sold this window goal scorer should be a RWer, as once Ziyech goes, we only have one true RWer (Noni) I think IF we are buying another CF it may well be Ivan Toney in January 2024

I very much doubt that happens

Prediction PSG buy Osimhen after they sell Mbappe (unless they do a swap deal with Real for Vini Jr and even then they still might go for Osi)

I don't really want either one Wirtz is damaged goods atm and there are better options out there than Cherki

is that counting Caicedo (so a 2nd MF buy after/before Caicedo)? A second MFer who is an CMF/AMF hybrid (like Gabri Veiga) would be ideal OR do we going for a true DMF? we potenual have other issues as well, depending on sales, etc CB LB (least likely) RW and, potentially (many on the board want one) a proven CF

I am in doubt we sell him now unless some team comes in with a £40-50m bid

Gus Poyet was proven WC AMF Rayan Cherki has a huge way to go to get to that level Poyet Honours Real Zaragoza Copa del Rey: 1993–94 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1994–95 Chelsea FA Cup: 1999–2000 FA Charity Shield: 2000 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1997–98 UEFA Super Cup: 1998 (Defeated Real Madrid, one of only 2 euro finals they have lost in the last 40 years (since 1983), the other was the 2000 Super Cup, when Galatasaray beat them 2 - 1 on a 102nd minute golden goal by Mário Jardel) Uruguay Copa América: 1995

Chelsea turn down Aubameyang offer Chelsea have turned down an offer from Galatasaray to sign striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. https://www.footiecentral.com/20230702/Chelsea-turn-down-aubameyang-offer/ The Turkish club wanted to take the 34 year old on a free transfer, but the London club want to recoup some of the £10.3 million that they spent on him last September. Aubameyang was signed specifically at the request of Thomas Tuchel who was promply sacked, and he struggled for game time after that. He managed just one Premier League goal for them in 15 appearances, and, in the latter part of the season, frequently did not even make the bench. Aubameyang himself, has indicated that he would prefer a return to Barcelona, whilst, inevitably, given how many Chelsea players have ended up there, he has also been linked with a move in this window to Saudi Arabia. Whatever happens, he seems certain to leave the club this summer because he is not in new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.

just get this done! his (£21.5m) and Dybala's (£10m) total price is THREE AND HALF times cheaper than just what Brighton want for Caicedo

pure class I wish him and his family all the best and I am sure he will be back with us in the future as a coach

do you think (I am not a big fan of conspiracy theories, but might as well lay this one out) Is it possible that Arse agreed to overpay a bit because they could take the FFP hit and they figured it would fuck a lot of other EPL teams up by jacking up EPL to EPL transfer prices?

we still need to bin 8 Christian Pulisic Hakim Ziyech (ffs, he needs to take that reduced salary from the Saudis and GTFO!) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plus bin these loanees — DF Wales WAL Ethan Ampadu (at Spezia until 30 June 2023) — DF France FRA Malang Sarr (at Monaco until 30 June 2023) — MF England ENG Tino Anjorin (at Huddersfield Town until 30 June 2023) — FW England ENG Callum Hudson-Odoi (at Bayer Leverkusen until 30 June 2023) — FW Belgium BEL Romelu Lukaku (at Inter Milan until 30 June 2023)

we need to jump fast then

just go hard for Barella 80-90m euros will turn Inter's head and that is only £68.2m to £76.7m so tens of millions of pounds cheaper

fuck that price more than £100m? they are fucking bonkers

do it! I am all in for only £10m
