Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[charcoalchicken]

Wenger asked why he's reluctant to spend. "Why do you say I'm reluctant? If I buy you tomorrow, I've spent £45 million. Have I done well?"

He just totally doesn't give a **** anymore, it's well known and publicised his opinions on the current market, problem is he has to spend probably overspend to bring some talent in.

we can't do another season with Giroud up front he's a backup striker not a ****ing starting striker for Arsenal, we've been running with holding at the back for the past two games now, this should not have become an issue he should brought a CB in before the ****ing season started, it's cost us 5 points already.

Fans are well within their rights to be fuming, they pay top dollar, they expect us to compete with other clubs including on transfer market everybody ****ing knows what players we need he just refuses to get things done, it's ridiculous

Was probably not going to feature for us this year, but it is still super frustrating either way.

He was always going on loan this season. Was not expected to get a work permit.

True, was hoping for a PL or English loan though, see how he played over here.

Just too late for the Olympics. The quality of backflip we'd see would make Britain a cert for gymnastics gold.

Liverpool are weighing up an £18m offer for Roma midfielder Leandro Paredes.

Exactly the sort of player we need partnering Can or Henderson in the middle. For that reason, I'm expecting the Liverpool Echo to crush the rumour in the next 2 hours with a report saying that Klopp has no idea who Paredes is, and is happy to build around Kevin Stewart as our midfield playmaker.

Calm before the storm or is everyone Arseneing

We are done buying In this market unfortunately. 2 to 3 more player sales and that's our business done. Sold more players than we have purchased. We are Arsenal mk II.

We've done f*** all as well. So frustrating watching us struggle when the transfer window is still open, yet we still don't sign anyone.

 

[SM]

Yep... I've gotta feel for some of those teams out there. Minimal incomings must suck.

 

[chef]

Cant be to long until we announce the signing of a CB not named Koulibaly. LB should be following.

 

[manureid]

I wish United would sign someone of note......

 

[Magma]

havent signed anyone for a few days #mansourout

 

[kangaspurs]

I'm not sure how reliable this publication is but it says we're after Munir El-Haddidi, or apparently it does if you can read Spanish.

Would be quite amusing if you flog him there for less than Benteke's fee

 

[FAITH]

So Wenger doesn't want to spend more than what a player is worth but is happy to charge his supporters a shitload to watch his mediocre team play?

Mustafi is not worth the €50m that Valencia want.

 

[Magma]

ajax have apparently ignored jasper cillessen's request to not play vs rostov and have flown him out to russia anyways.

 

[SM]

Wouldn't mind Bony on loan for 6 months.
