Looks like yet another super talented young striker. But that’s exactly what we just recently bought with Fofana. Buying another young kid makes little sense to me.

It’s like the club are planning for 2028 or something instead of 2024.

Bellingham oficially in Real, we never really had a chance to sign him.

lol kepa will be our first gk choice

ffs poch FUCK

[TheHulk 1,825]

Makes sense I guess, he spent 5 years with these losers at Spurs, must've imprinted that mentality.

[Cosmin 2,484]

I don’t really have such a big issue with that. I think we can wait a bit before signing a new keeper. What would worry me is reading that Poch wants to go into the season with Enzo - Gallagher as pivot lol.

Not sure about Vlahovic. Morata vibes. Feels like yet another expensive stop gap.

[Pizy 18,342]

The ONLY way we can go into next season with Kepa as our #1 again is if we dramatically fix our defensive midfield. Or play with a 3 rather than a 2. Make the team in front of him so defensively solid that he doesn’t have to face many of those long shots that go in off the tips his outstretched arms.

[Mhsc 866]

I think Kepa is good enough for a top four side which is the maximum our aspiration should be for next season. It could wait tbh, if we can’t get the right man for a sensible price atm.

Sky are terribly unreliable and by all accounts, Mendy is not re-signing so the club will bring a keeper in.

Christ.

Simon Phillips scrapping through a barrel nowadays. Glad I unfollowed him.

Agree, I think he's serviceable for a top 4 side (he already has previously under Sarri), he's just not a level if wanting to challenge for the league.

Ultimately if the right keeper profile isn't out there for the right price (and personally I think the keeper market is one of the weakest positions in world football currently), I'd rather hold fire and be sure in 12 months time or see where we might be with slonina than just replace Kepa with another version of him on a longer contract.

I hope we demand 70M pounds for havertz if arsena is interested

I read that they hope we low our value demoand but I hope board don't be silly 

to a rival we need to demand a lot of money

Yeah, agreed. After all he still has two years left on his deal so it's not like we can (yet) be bullied over the valuation like with Mount, so if a rival club wants him they should just pay up or fuck off.

I don't even rate Havertz and wouldn't mind him going but if it's going to be to another English club there should be no compromise over the fee. Would sell him for anything over €50M to a club from another country in a heartbeat though.

Oh come on man. How many transfer windows have u seen in your life?

These talks of "club xy wants to xxx" or "coach xy is happy with xxxx" is nothing else than PR talk for negotiations at this stage, perfectly placed by clubs and agents. Nothing should get taken too seriously in the first few weeks of the silly season

Hope so, can't deal with another year of dino arms.

[Pizy 18,342]

I’m fine selling Kai abroad but absolutely no way should we sell him to Arse where he can haunt us for 5 years. In a well oiled attacking unit like Arse has he can realize his immense talent. 

Unforgivable if we are to this. Especially with the underwhelming names we’re linked with in terms of forwards. I’d rather keep Havertz than sign Vlahovic or this kid from Villareal. 

[Special Juan 27,392]

Ornstein confirmed Arsenal all in for Havertz, ramped up in the last few days
