We haven't sold a single player for a decent apart from that Pjanić swap deal

It's highly unlikely that Lyon reject €40M bids from Arsenal only to accept some loan + obligation arrangement from us

Besides I really doubt we're pursuing him as of this point especially with our current setup. Chiesa would probably make more sense.

Still think he will stay with Lyon. But if this deal does happen, I cannot wait to hear comments like "we didn't want him anyway" or "he isn't up for the challenge of playing in EPL" or "he chose the easy route to play in a farmer league".

"But Guendouzi is world class m8!"

Ya'll stop giving ol' @Osman hope.

Seriously, they've all crawled out of the woodwork since arteta started winning with them. They always had that arrogance, just didn't have the results to prove their point. 2 tin pot trophies later they think they can compete again because they think arsenal are a big attractive club with a history of winning.

Winning is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word Arsenal.

If Juve is actually in on Aouar it’s curtains for Arsenal. The question now is, are they actually in, or are they being used to drive the price up? Remember, Juve has a great relationship with Lyon. Remember last year when they insisted on Rafia signing a contract so they could give Lyon a transfer fee?

I'm not so sure, they keep reporting in England that he's agreed personal terms and its only a matter of agreeing terms between the clubs. I do think much will ride on whether arsenal can sell torreira or anyone else for a decent amount for that matter.

If arsenal honestly think they will get aouar and partey then they clearly need to drop the crack pipe.

Right, but up until now (maybe) no one has seriously been in on Aouar outside of Arsenal. I find it hard to believe that Aouar would prioritize them unless he didn’t really have other options.

We can raise funds by selling D.Costa - There are teams interested.
Same thing about Rugani and MDS

In the end I expect us to get around 25M from Rugani and MDS but Im not sure we could sell D.Costa on time...

Are Man Utd interested in Bernardeschi? Wouldnt mind us to include him in a trade...

25m for Rugani are you nuts? Maybe 15m. Edit: oh you included MDS, my fault. That’d be optimistic, but maybe.

There are teams interested in costa but he’s evidently rejected some of them already and is looking for a big club.

For Jesse Lingard?

 

[Paolino]

If we sign Aouar, in which position he will play in 3-4-1-2?

Rugani and MDS...
No one would pay 25M for Rugani - We arent even asking for 25M for him...

my guess would be Ramsey’s role

 

[Xperd]

In Ramsey's position.

He'd more or less be a like for like replacement for Ramsey tbh.

So unless we can sell Ramsey, I don't see this happening.

 

[Jethro]

"Juventus’ enquiry yesterday to Lyon for Houssem Aouar was twofold: to find out Les Gones’ asking price & to check in on the status of negotiations with Arsenal."

 

[DanielSz]

makes me question why they waited until now? Does Tici think he’s gonna get a discount or what? He better be serious, otherwise he’s just wasting time he doesn’t have.

 

[Gigiventus]

If we sign Aouar, in which position he will play in 3-4-1-2?

With Auoar it would make sense to just play 433

Ronaldo - Dybala - Kulusevski
Aouar - Bentancur - Arthur

Ramsey is injury prone af. He has no replacement in this squad too.

Pipe dream though.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

It has to be another loan + obligation, right? I'd be almost genuinely impressed if we still had money to throw around like that.

 

[Orgut]

If we take players based on netmuggs Dele Ali is the obvious choice.. Thats pretty much all he does..

 

[Beki]

Guys, relax...it was just an enquiry, nothing concrete.
