Arteta and Edu Transfer Targets: Summer 2020

[HairSprayGooners]

Do the 23 hours of Monday not count?

I said 4 days UNTIL deadline day

Monday might be a bit of a ****storm with players joining the national teams & the corona protocols. Cant be as easy to do a medical.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I think a lot of the disappointment comes down to the fact we made most of our signings early on in the window. The windows felt a bit anti-climactic after that.

If we'd have signed Gabriel and William within the last week or two and with Aouar likely on the way too, fans would be much more positive.

My favourite part of the window. I love it when people start to have meltdowns.

Fans more frustrated about lack of outgoings we clearly can't add players if you got 32 players same happening with manutd.

Thing is though, I feel now we have an exciting manager that most the fans can get behind, and the fact that signing A+P is genuinely doable I can see why many have a meltdown.

There is actual hope that getting it right this summer would lead to things beyond our wildest imaginations, but so it seems it may fizzle out to a good, but not club changing window.

Right you are. My bad.

People should wait until the window is done. You always get the “if nothing happens today we’re done” ****posts towards the end of the window. Of the two players we’re after one can be signed without any negotiation needed and the other we’re clearly actively negotiating for.

Not hearing any news means very little in the grand scheme of things because most news around transfers is nonsense. The stories about going back with a €38m bid at a certain date was rubbish. There’ll be constant dialogue between the two teams until a deal is reached or we decide there’s no deal to be done.

You always keep me believing but it's hard at the moment, there's always a chance. Wouldn't we still need one more person to leave though, assuming we have Torreira and Kola deffo off.

I don't know anymore.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Most journalists said including orny it'll be very busy last dew days for us we saw 2-3 days ago we getting closer getting rid of both Torreira and Kola. You hope Sokratis Mustafi Chambers go next you can't have 8 cb in squad when the window is done.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

People should have get use it by now our club give journalists no info we depend on French media giving us news on Aouar and Spanish media about Partey similar with kola no English media reporting about him leaving only reliable German media reporting he close joining Leverkusen. You hope soon the club will give more info but doubtful will happen

I think they’ll let Sokratis go and if Mustafi stays they won’t register him until January. Having said that I think any chance of Partey is tied to Torreira. Either they loan Torreira with an obligation which in effect makes Partey cheaper for us or it will be some sort of double loan with obligation. If Torreira goes to them on loan with an option I don’t see any real chance of getting Partey.

I'll believe.

Reasons to be positive @OnlyOne

• Groundwork has been put in place for the past month for Sokratis, Torreira, Kolasinac and either Mustafi/Elneny to leave.
• Groundwork has been put in place for Aouar and Partey.
• We bid for Aouar in the last 10 days for a reason, to get a cheaper deal to be able to activate that Partey release clause.
• We have backup targets for the pair of them and none of those targets have been looked at yet even with 4 days left.
• When/If all relevant sales are made we will have a very low net spend. So money isn't an issue either.

It is going to be an extremely manic last 4 days, we also have two games in between which doesn't help much. Let focus on being positive and if nothing comes off we can have a rant on Monday.

if Kolasinac is in the squad its obviously not as close as the media suggests.

Not necessarily true. In 2018 Giroud come on as a sub against Swansea in his final match, then travelled straight afterwards to Cobham for his medical at Chelsea.

The sad thing is if anyone signs we probably won't see them play for 2 and a half weeks

Hate international breaks!

Actually more than that. Don`t we play City away in the game immediately after the break? I doubt arteta will start a new player for that game.

City away on the 17th yeah, i'd still play any new signings over the midfield we have though lol.

Which is why it helps if you get your signings in early and get them involved in a few training sessions. There's always an international break after the transfer window closes.
