I had forgotten Sokratis existed for months there. Mustafi, too. How's Xhaka still around?

Arsenal are supposedly looking at terminating Mustafi’s contract. It’s amazing that Arsenal’s transfer dealings over the years have been so bad that they’re paying three players with starting XI sized contracts to just gently caress off.

Apparently the idea with Ozil and Mustafi at least was to just not play them in the hopes that being out of the team would so long would hinder their ability to find new clubs in the summer. And I guess it's working!

I get the impression that managers actually see something in Xhaka. We’re now on three straight managers who inexplicably rate him.

Looking back, Arsenal only brought in Cech in 15/16 and spent 90m on nothing but Mustafi, Xhaka, and Lucas Perez in 2016/2017 so it’s not hard to see where it all went wrong.

if anyone besides me cares Morgan Sanson to Villa is a done deal. He's a lot cheaper than what Marseille said they wanted for him over the summer, but opinions from French media seem to be a bit mixed on him.

Odegaard to Arsenal on loan is also a done deal. I remember him being a wonder kid a couple years back but have no clue how good he is now.

He was really good last year. I caught a couple of La Real matches last year where he ran the show.

Also if Jovic's experience is anything to go by, Madrid is just loving these guys up by burying them on the bench, and they just need minutes.

He had a really good season with Sociedad last year, but I think has never come close to cracking Madrid.

Celtic right back Jeremie Frimpong to Bayer Leverkusen for about £11 million is a done deal

Well liked by Celtic fans, toiled this year but so did literally all of our players. With good coaching he could go on to be a good player, as of right now he's got too little final produce that we can turn down that money.

I think Man City get about 30% of the fee for him, too.

Arsenal’s video package was awesome showing him signing with Madrid at 16 then his various loans culminating with Arsenal. Some good exposure for Vitesse Arnhem in there.

Lingard to West Ham on loan is a done deal:

My feelings already summed up by Fake Carlton Cole:

https://twitter.com/_CarltonCole9/status/1353782507657973760

This fills up the domestic loan slot freed by West Ham activating the "to buy" bit of the Benrahma loan to buy deal after whatever the thing with his blood was apparently cleared up (I have my own theories about that but lol UK libel laws). Rumour is they'll do the same thing with Greatest Living Centre Back Craig Dawson too in order to free up the other slot in order to bring in a forward on yet another loan-to-buy deal.

loving brainfarted on the email I read that was confirming Benrahma's move to free up the slot for him, and I unreservedly apologise for the harm I have caused this fine thread.

(Weirdly he was supposed to have his medical and be signed by 1200 so he could be in the squad for Sunday's game but suddenly it's all gone very quiet, Moyes said at 1300 that he was still in the medical and still no official announcement)
