Stats 7,145 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Pizy said: I forget, is Auba out of contract at Arse or just entering the final year? Because surely they wouldn't even consider selling to us and would rather see him leave for free than to give him to us regardless of fee. Would be a great signing for 2-3 seasons. Football is about business now. They sold Sanchez to United remember and have had a history for doing this. Ideally, Arsenal would rather sell him to team abroad but if he wants to stay in England, they will reluctantly sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case free or not free, we should not move mountains to get him imo, or warm up his testicles hoping he will choose us. He wants Inter so be it.

Pizy 18,926 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Sounds like our Sancho interest died in January once we signed Ziyech as some of us figured. Atomiswave, Vesper and Fernando 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,491 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Pjanic? Pass. Seems like a unnecessary thing to do when we already have Jorgi who is as good and has more years left in his tank, is used to PL by now. Don't think we have any interest in doing a deal anyway Dries Mertens (if true) replaces one of Pedro-Willian More interested to hear of links to left-back, centre-back and striker.

Vesper 30,193 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Juventus and Barcelona's £22.3m agreement which confirms Chelsea's stance on Jorginho swap deal https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/jorginho-pjanic-chelsea-transfer-news-18266332 Juventus and Barcelona have reached an agreement for the summer transfer of Miralem Pjanic. That's according to reports in Spain. Sport, as per Football Italia, claim the Serie A giants have reportedly agreed to pay Barcelona €25m (£22.3m) plus Pjanic and Mattia De Sciglio for right-back Nelson Semedo. In addition, the report states the two teams have reached ‘an agreement in principle’ for the trio to swap clubs at the start of next season. It is also claimed that Semedo and Juve are ‘hours away’ from agreeing terms, while Pjanic and De Sciglio have already committed to joining the Catalans. Pjanic had hinted at leaving Juventus last summer and it would appear an exit is on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say hes much worse than Nelson Semedo too although he hasnt done well at Barca either. Madness. Plus they own Emerson who is at Betis and also another young guy who theyve loaned to Nice on top of Sergi Roberto. Seems ridiculous theyd take a RB.

Barca is getting cash plus players equal to 75 to 90 million euros (COVID-19 makes valuations wildly fluctuate) for Semedo 25m euros is going to them as well as 2 players, one who is WC (Pjanic) that's great business De Sciglio is not a poor as you make him out to be, I would take him over Zappacosta anyday, he is 1 cap away from 40 for the Italian national team, and I recall some great games by him whilst he was at AC Milan and he can play DMF and RMF as well Pjanic (30yo) will be a beast at Barca for 2,3 years at least plus, like you said, losing Semedo is no biggie, even with no De Sciglio, as they have Sergi (who plays in MF at times), plus Emerson (you mentioned him, he looks like a potential star) and the other one you mentioned ,Moussa Wagué I agree De Sciglio is a bit odd to include, but I am sure there is more to the backstory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,325 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yeah, something is wrong here... Pretty sure Pjanic himself would be enough for swap without MDS and money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be just another terrible business by their board. Juve is willing to sell Pjanic because of his age, wages and fact that he is very hot cold player. Pjanic should be absolute key player under someone like Sarri but after good autmn, he completely lost himself. Its definately not a good deal for barca because they will likely replace a promising Arthur for someone with few years at top in decline. If there was time for barca to buy pjanic was from roma. De Sciglio is crap. Maybe a backup but in barca case, they already have few other better more promising options to go for. Semedo was played in and out from the team, give him a regular place and he will perform great. This deal doesnt help barca progress in any way. Not that I dont like it, its great haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
