Pizy 19,381 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Of course it would be silly this early in the summer to be worried about the lack of concrete links or movement, but it seems like one by one everyone we've so far been linked with is going elsewhere. Bernardo Silva - gone to City Van Dijk - looks certain to go to Liverpool now James & Morata - strongly linked with United and PSG by reliable sources Tolisso - now strongly linked with Bayern Alexis - no chance at all Arse will sell to us I'd love to give our board the benefit of the doubt that they're lining things up in total secrecy, but based upon recent transfer windows it's hard to do. This can't be another summer where we bring in shite or wait until it's so late that we panic and buy Conte's 3rd or 4th choice targets. kellzfresh, mccg and LondonsFinest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per most of our recent transfer windows I gotta admit to having knees like Rowntrees jelly mate. I'm not good at keeping my stress levels down during silly seasons but this year I had this hope and feeling we would be having a fast strong window. But its looking like we have turned more into a selling team buselling/loaning some of our youth with potential to whoever puts their hand in their pockets. Now I'm all forgiving them more experience but I did think Conte would at least be trying out Tammy in pre season with us. Whats the rush? We coulda said wait and we will let ya know. Same with Solanke. I do hope tho IF we have sold them on we added the buy back clause. I had this thought that all our main lads would be crying out to stay together with some fresh blood added and build on next season but seemingly have their own thoughts on the matter. Wgoever goes I hope its a case of buy 1 in before we sell one. Oh sod this wheres me Vallium? Get your fingers out board! Pizy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's confirmed. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20170606/sead-kolasinac-to-join-arsenal I didn't understand too but when I read about Antonio's personal call to Schalke and especially clubs director confirmation I had to do a little research about Kolasinac because even if I watched Schalke couple of times I have never turned my attention to their LB before. He's really solid but is hard to predict if he's going to become a top class player. I don't believe Antonio just wanted a quick backup for Alonso at any cost. That would mean we would have 2 solid or less LB's for a long time. So Sead is gone, Ricardo Rodriguez's agent said everything is done with AC Milan. Two of our last summer targets gone.

You are shocked because they signed the best left-back in Bundesliga? http://www.bundesliga.com/en/tots/ Team of the season in BL. Very daft signing by Arsenal, hes far better than what they already have in that position. Gibbs will move on probably. Anyway, never a type of signing Chelsea would make. We hardly ever get these kinds of deals done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Liverpool might quietly pull off an outstanding window. Linked heavily with VVD, Keïta and Gelson Martins. That would truly be amazing. They still need a GK and LB though. If they manage however, they'll be an immense team next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
