    It would be a good signing, Zaha is a match winner, perhaps they will offer a player Welbeck?

    Welbeck is out of contract at Arsenal, so they won't get anything for him, unfortunately. Arsenal sure need a player like Zaha though. He's also an Arsenal supporter!

    With Welbeck injury record will be interesting to see who signs him.

    Welcome to United Wan-Bissaka

    Looks like Rabiot is going to Juve, Juve are doing great business this window

    I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in Everton, like Walcott did. Maybe even Palace?

    AWB is a good signing for United. It will be interesting who else they manage to bring in before the season. As for Juve, they've done really well so far this transfer window. Ramsey on a free (still hurts!), and now possibly Rabiot. I think he was on the radar for Arsenal as well, but who wouldn't go to Juve instead.

    It's 'interesting' I would say.

    It's quite the sponsor deal this one, I believe, so it might generate some MUCH NEEDED funds.

    I honestly can't see how they can find someone that goes straight into that team and strengthens it with the rumoured budget…

    I believe we have just bought an 18 year old Italian kid.
    Oh,and that £40m offer (to be paid in 5 instalments !!!) is a disgusting offer,i can only think it's a plan to destabilize Zaha's relationship with Palace.
  • Posts: 4,044
    That level of bid is just as likely to get Palace to dig in and hold out for 80m.

    I wonder if Gabriel Martinelli (who's actually Brazilian, but holds a dual citizenship I think) can play as a winger?

    Re. the Zaha offer, that's the Arsenal I know! Low initial offers that leads to nothing after lengthy talks with the players club. Happens EVERY DAMN TRANSFER WINDOW…

    There's a brilliant Twitter account you should check out, which is brilliantly funny, yet painfully accurate re. the state of things at Arsenal:

    If Palace just got 50m for someone with a lot less experience, they are going to expect well over that for Wilfred

    They would be mad to accept anything under the 80M if i'm honest.

    the whole current team is a waste of money. 90m is cheap in comparison.

    Are Arsenal the laughing stock of the PL or is it Man Utd? The fans don't deserve their owners or do they? Both managers will be gone this time next year is a good bet.

    Atm I would say both,and maybe add Chelski into the mix soon.

    As far as Norwegian media goes, Arsenal are definitely the laughing stock of the PL. And they're getting worse.

    I just listened to the most recent Arsecast episode. One of the hosts predicted that by July 1st next year, either Patrick Vieira or Freddie Ljungberg will be the manager of Arsenal.

    This may seem unlikely when hearing it, but:
    - Emery is only under contract for two seasons, and if Arsenal fail to manage top four this season they wont be able to sign a top manager (nor top players for that matter), making them have to consider other options.
    - Edu Gaspar – who as we all know played for Arsenal, is likely to become Arsenal's technical director. Add to that the fact that Freddie Ljungberg has been promoted from the U23's into Emery's coaching staff. Is this something Emery has suggested, or is this an appointment made above Emery?
    - If Arsenal are to sign a new manager and a top name is out of reach, the board might find that the best way to please the fans somewhat, is to look to former club legends. I'm not saying this is necessarily the right way to do it, but I could definitely see it happen. Remember that Mikel Arteta (also formerly of Arsenal – now assistant coach under Pep at City) was expected to be the name announced as the next Arsenal manager last year.
