Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[moomba]

Wenger has an ideology that he believes in and is committed to. Fair play to him.

But it takes the piss out of every one of Arsenal's supporters that want the club to do the best they can do to win things. For Wenger, and presumably the board winning isn't the highest priority.

 

[Zidane98]

Oh!!! Why did no one quote my comments on that the other day?!

We agreed to cease all forms of stalking.

All I remember was Benteke was belgium's best strike prospect and was a complete player

His fans are getting ripped off re ticket prices surely he has an obligation to spend.

It sucks that before we bought him I was on record of saying that I wouldn't buy him for 33mil, but for 20mil.

And even then I said I'd rather bid 10mil for Chicharito because he would be a better fit. Man U fans agreed with it!

Now they are getting rid, Origi has that mantle

 

[moomba]

To be fair Benteke isn't a bad striker just becasue of his time at Liverpool. Much like Bony isn't a bad striker cause of City.

Both will score plenty for the right team.

Origi is shit though hee hee hee

now that Sakho has fallen out with Klopp and Can is a bench player, Origi is the new beastmode.

You didn't watch the Pool/Arsenal game? Origi was #benchmode in favour of Bobby Firminho.

so sakho is #dropmode with Can/Origi as #benchmode?

Sakho is #injuredmode, Unknown if he's beast/bench/drop mode when he returns depending on how good Klavan and Matip play.

Was very impressed with him what I saw in the ICC games, seems like a lot for a fringe player though.

I believe West Brom were interested but pulled out. Likely to stay at West Ham.
