We're not spending 70m on a lad.

Hope not, very overrated. 14 g/a in 70 PL games. Martinelli got that in his first 2x games.(Overall though)

that's the problem - not much point advertising a brand not sold in the UK

Chevrolet isn't a major deal over here either, yet Utd managed to get a major deal out of them...

Come on Stan, get it done!!

The Partey deal seems like it's dragging too slow and our side look not too much interested to play with Atletico demands.

I was hoping our team would consider other options: Ndidi (Leicester) or Doucure (Watford, now gone to Everton) would've been viable alternatives

I feel Ndidi would be even more expensive for a more limited player.

Doucure wouldn’t have lasted 5 mins with our fanbase. If people get annoyed with Xhaka misplacing basic passes then folks would be spontaneously combusting in anger watching Doucure pass to the opposition. Average player, looks good on motd but hugely inconsistent.

Ndidi would cost double the amount.

and our inquires about a swap deal plus cash for guendouzi ?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

We will match the clause if and when we have the cash if not we could do it in January.

They not interested. They only want his release clause been paid we'll do it i when bellerin Torreira are gone

What if he signs a new contract in the meantime with a higher RC?

If he signs a new contract then the deals just dead in the water and we need to move on.

Very unlikely, if he does that he won’t get his payday and Atletico can’t afford the numbers he’s after so raising the release clause doesn’t help him.

He’s probably after a 4/5 year deal to take him to the end of his prime.

Wal-Mart own ASDA, although they are looking to sell. I dont want ASDA on our shirts either!

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Just had a bit of a brainwave. Posted in the Felipe thread but this ones probably more relevant. Maybe Aouar is now the main target instead of Partey? Hes played on the left a lot for Lyon. Ceballos signing so Arteta has his 343 pivot.

Martinez
AMN - Saliba - Luiz - Gabriel - Tierney
Ceballos - Xhaka
Pepe - Auba - Aouar
​

Or even...

Martinez
AMN - Saliba - Gabriel - Tierney - Saka
Ceballos - Xhaka
Pepe - Auba - Aouar
​

Attacking wise Saka pushes in and Tierney overlaps. Aouar comes central and Auba/Pepe wreak havoc.

We have to get bellerin and Torreira deals quickly Partey very clear waiting for us to activate his release clause him not signing new contract is very clear sign. I hope we not wait too long before someone comes and activate his release clause just like Liverpool Chelsea with Warner
