The Arsenal [2015|2016]

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I don't think juventus like to spend the kind of money he would cost

 

[Arnau]

He doesnt even cost 50m

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

When do juventus spend 50m? They refuse to meet pjanic 31m release clause even though they want him because it's too high

 

[Arnau]

Pjanic doesnt make any difference, Juventus would never spend 30m on him... But i could see them spending 40 on Alexis, they were always after him.

 

[poet11]

They won't spend 50m on Alexis. Its never on. However, I'm worried we might lose him this summer. PSG are after him or Hazard, apparently.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I don't se why Arsenal would sell alexis for 40m

 

[poet11]

Those would all be excellent signings.

Apparently morata is very much available because Real Madrid are planning to activate the buy back clause and then immediately put him on the market for €40m

Yeah, though there are doubts whether Morata can become prolific. Though Juve's game is more methodical compared to ours and Morata hasn't played as a lone striker for them.

I don't se why Arsenal would sell alexis for 40m

Yes that but I suspect Alexis may want to move. He sounded pissed even when we won the FA cup whining about how he wants to be closer to the CL and league titles. For 40m would be a total piss take. Starting bid should be 50.

 

[Arnau]

I can see that PSG move when they fail to get Ronaldo/Neymar/Griezmann/Hazard, they need something big now Zlatsn is leaving.

Yeah, maybe they'll try for Martial as well. One hope of keeping Alexis is that unless he forces a move we have no reason to sell.

 

[poet11]

All in all, this is going to be some transfer window with big moves.

 

[poet11]

Rosicky is gone.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

All in all, this is going to be some transfer window with big moves.

You mean for the world or for Arsenal? Don't forget this is wenger, you could end up with Sturridge as your only new signing picking up a 6 month injury in September...

Haha, that is plausible but I meant for the world.

Given Sturridge's fitness record, we'd make the deal official and arrange a funeral at his unveiling.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I really don't know if that would be possible, but I think PSG has a shot at signing Ronaldo. Madrid would be smart to sell for a crazy price because of his age. Ronnie is going to be great much longer than most players because of his supreme fitness, but if you can get 80m for a 31 year old player when you already have James, Isco, Bale, that's a move you should probably make.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Yeah though recent cl games would appear to show that real are more reliant on Ronaldo than ever, unless his departure would liberate James and bale. I think he will be a super star til age 37.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Also his issues with the club seem to have been resolved since Zidane appointment

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I feel like Ronaldo keeps them competitive in La Liga because he ensures they don't drop points to shitty teams, but he seems to wilt a little in the CL knockout stages. Bale seems to score the important goals at that point.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Ronaldo beat Wolfsburg single handed

 

[poet11]

I doubt Real would sell him tbh and James is 90% certain to move this summer. And Hazard could be more attainable but Real could probably, sell Ronaldo and sign Hazard too.
