Assuming Ox goes through, Arsenal will have made a profit of £11m this transfer window. I'm sure £11m will slot in nicely at wingback.

Having the money isn't a problem, having a willingness to spend it is. Wenger already sat out like five years of transfer window doing fuckall because he thought prices were exorbitant and unfair, what the gently caress kind of offers is he going to make in the post-220m-Neymar era?

Arsenal should sell Alexis and Ozil before the window closes. We are hosed either way, so I'd prefer 100m in the bank than keeping both players for no good reason.

I've got a theory for how to turn around Arsenal's fortunes and it involves a Qatari multi-billionaire buying the team.

I actually agree. Stash as much money as possible from Liverpool/Barca/etc's last minute panic buying, let your youth/reserves get some European experience even if you go out in the group, and spend in the next window. You're already losing to Stoke domestically and you're not gonna beat whoever gets 3rd in group H of the CL so might as well call it a rebuilding year.

God I can't wait to see £11m profit in action. e: Also I love how Wengy benched his new left back so that he could play a central midfielder who was going to be sold the next day at right back and a right back at left back.

I mean let's be honest: Wenger is not a good enough manager to finish top four this year and/or win Europa with a shallow squad with few stars worth their pay, but he's also not bad enough to get relegated without those two. He could sell both of them and buy into the mid table Everton/Southampton tier without much trouble I think, but trying to game their way back into competing for fourth place trophies isn't gonna happen either way.

City and Leicester are both in for Jonny Evans and one of the two will probably spend £30 million on him.

Also, I don’t give a poo poo about buying players. Wenger signed two great players and they played a combined 30 minutes yesterday. Arsenal won’t solve Wenger by adding more players.

Liverpool had to "end all interest" due to the tapping up scandal and the big ITK on SaintsWeb says the club are going through all kinds of contortions to try not to sell to Liverpool (although Liverpool are definitely the closest to Saints' valuation for Van Dijk). I don't see it happening. There's too much fan anger and some very good club discipline reasons for Saints not to sell. Strawman posted:Pierce, Joyce, Reddy, Hunter and King generally get leaks from LFC, so those are the ones to watch out for. Bascombe used to get stuff but got cut off. I like Rory Smith a lot, but I don't know if he lets himself be used as a mouthpiece often enough to get the "ITK" scoops. Tony Evans used to be really clued in, but I think he lost his best sources once FSG took over Liverpool. Now he goes on really convoluted anti-FSG rants and it's kind of sad.

Don't be so pessimistic this year Tarbrush, we don't even have to bust properly this time, we can just say Keita will come in and fix it all whenever things go wrong.

Cpt. Mahatma Gandhi posted:it's real dumb that VVD was seemingly the only CB we were even looking at On the flip side, maybe it's good that Liverpool are concentrating on someone who they strongly believe will be an improvement. Otherwise, changes are Liverpool will ruin any new guy just like they ruined so many other defenders. I mean, remember when Lovren was going to fix everything? http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/jamie-carragher-exclusive-dejan-lovren-7552212 quote:Loud, commanding, an organiser and a leader - all the qualities that suggest Lovren is more than capable of making the step up from Southampton to the even bigger stage of Liverpool. At the same time, I acknowledge that I'd feel more comfortable if more players were available once the inevitable injury crisis kicks in.

Klopp is generally happy with the squad and only wanted a few key players to add to it. I think we'll wait on VVD if it don't go through, Southampton will chill out after a while we just gotta let them be mad at us for a bit, get it out of their system. No point of just going down some list of sick FIFA defenders and signing the first one that says yes if Klopp is fine waiting.

I get the fan sentiment though. Mané must hurt a lot. It's certainly possible Gao will try to win fan points to taking lesser money from Chelsea.
