LAM09 7,062 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Really envious about this. Auba, Laca and Pepe in a front three is deadly. If they get Tierney too, I defo would say they have moved ahead of us and United for next season.They're still lacking elsewhere. I certainly don't see them finishing in the top 4 with their current squad and rumoured signings. Sokratis, Mustafi and Chambers won't cut it. 11Drogba and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,944 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Arse will do what Arse always do this season. They'll smack a bunch of the midtable and lower table PL sides, they'll smack most of the rando Europa League sides, and they'll have a stretch during the seasons where all their fans and some journalists ask "are Arsenal actually title contenders?" But unless they address their defense with about 3 new, top players they'll get nowhere near Liverpool or City and will probably be on the end of some beatings by top teams. Their attack will be great as it always is. Their defense will be comedy as it always is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney will improve them. With the so called £45m budget, if they get Tierney along with Pepe, then that is really good business as they need a winer desperately and they have got a top one too. I don't see how they can get anyone else if they do get Pepe. They're apparently gonna pay the fee in installments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 If he had to go to an English club that isn't us Arsenal is probably the best option. Adding another layer of gold while ignoring the engine, although that said it probably tips the top 4 race slightly in their favour unless Mustafi goes evenl more ditzy and/or Mount and Pulisic can hit the ground running for us.

Pizy 18,944 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 If they had silly money to throw at a single player like this I wonder why they didn't go and target the best CB possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 People are honestly forgetting how solid the Holding+Sokratis partnership was. Arsenal sort their left back (which they will) and Bellerin comes back, they have a massive case to finish top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,219 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 just saw that it isn't £72m Arse are paying for him, its £82m with bonuses big cash I do not know if we would even lay that much out if we could TBH I would like to think so, but if you take the forced big buy of Kepa (who was still £10m less) away that is far above what we are spending these days 23m more than we dropped on Morata (we only ended up pay 2m in bonuses) 28m more than we dropped on Pulisic 30m more than we dropped on Jorginho 42m more than we dropped on Kovacic 46m than we dropped on Bakayoko 47m more than we dropped on Bats, and (arffff) Drinkwater 50m more than we dropped on Kante 51m more than we dropped on Rudiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id imagine if they get that fee in installments certain clubs wont think they have got X amount just sitting in the bank to demand a bit extra for players. Seen they want to sign 3 attackers to replace him and Rafael Leao if he goes. Maybe its just they feel its a better deal too, if Arsenal are willing to pay whst looks like more than the original 72m including bonuses who knows. Crazy they are dropping 72m although in installments and maybe another 25m to 30m on Kieran Tierney. Potentially as well as what I see as a shrewd free transfer of Sami Khedira. If i was an Arsenal fan I would be horrified they havent looked at sorting their centre backs out though. Mustafi is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZERO idea why they went for Sokratis and not Manolas or get them both as they are the Greek national teams starting CB's so are very used to playing together Issa Diop was another WTF, as Arse have the best French connections he would be a beast there, West Sham got a steal (as I predicted) the other one who would be (and would have been) perfect is Iñigo Martínez, a superb ball playing CB, poor mans Laporte Diop and Martinez would be terrifying if they were added onto that rest of the team they also could have had Diego Godín on a free, he still has 1 or even 2 good years left foolish club in some key areas OneMoSalah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
