Ivan Fresneda

[sergio_giorgini]

Look at this guy he’s massive. He looks like in an American high school movie where they get a 31 year old to play a 16 year old.

Not sure if he’s hench or just playing a dwarf’s team.

Is it possible that Fresneda would choose Arsenal and join the squad this January? Versus going to Dortmund and staying loaned at Valladolid. Only way I see it linked to Cedric departure.

Unless it's related to FFP, but really, Cedric's wages would be 2 million for 5 months, so that can't be the deal breaker. I doubt the club is in that much trouble over FFP.

He is staying on loan either way. But it seems Dortmund has sold him a much better path to first team football

Pure speculation, but maybe we told him he’d have a good chance at cup/EL games this season in addition to training with the first team. Maybe that reassures him as to game time and development opportunities and may explain why we wanted Cedric out of the squad to bring him in. Who knows, really.

 

[Rattata]

It could be really simple like Fresneda's agent looking at our squad and seeing 3 players in his position.

Sure Arsenal can tell you we will loan/sell Cedric but will Arsenal really? In the end Fresneda could land at a club that doesn't play him. Just look at Djed Spence at Tottenham.

The whole thing doesn't make sense if we loan Fresneda back though.

I think Tierney goes in the summer and I doubt we replace him with another left back.

lb: Zinchenko, Fresneda
Rb: White, Tomi, Fresneda

To be honest the pathway to our team will be a lot easier. A lot of assumption that he is coming in as a right back. He looks like a Cancelo/Zinchenko. I wouldn't be surprised if he is to share the Zinchenko role and that would be a hell of a lot of game time.

I love Zinchenko but he has physical limitations and needs to be rotated to prevent injury.

Champions League football also? Bit of a no brainer.

It's not clear what the plan is for the player ie loaning him back or joining his new team. What makes it complicated is that if a bid fails then he gets a significant pay raise due to a clause in his contract. I think both clubs are trying to get it right without offending the parent club. Neither Dortmund or Arsenal have actually submitted an official bid yet. They have agreed terms to place a bid from what I've read.

LFG, Edu cooking jambalaya!!!!

Hopefully, he can toss Cedric in place of the tasso & we can tell Fulham that he went back to Portugal after we terminated his contract

 

[Sapient Hawk]

We will make our first offer in the next hours

I'm going against my better judgment, but what the hell...Impending Offer FC

Is Fresneda good enough with his left foot to be a LB for Arteta?

If not, I assume Arteta would rather rotate Fresneda as RB, and play Tomiyasu, Kiwior or some new player as LB rotation.

 

[Gunn3rs4urus]

OMG he's coming

 

[razörist]

Yeah this was never gonna happen after the premature confirmed tag

 

[say yes]

We will make our first offer in the next hours

This guy is all over the place.

‘Will make a bid in the next few hours’ = classic bullshit line.
