Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

Isn't turnover part of the equation? If they were at £191m last year then they would have been in breach of FFP unless there are additional monies involved.

;hmm guess I got on Arsenal chat room by mistake don't care what there upto so will ;run back to whu606 where real boys and girls hang out ;whistle

MrsGrey

I think the relevance, steve, is to whether or not we might get Giroud .. and what factors might play a part at the selling club. Just a thought.

To be fair, Moses couldn't get a game for US at the end of the season 15/16

Moore_than_a_nick said:

May have been a motivation issue. But when things clicked last season, they sure clicked.

Up until Moses pulled his hamstring at Old Trafford on 5 December 2015 he had started 11 out of 12 games while Antonio had only made three substitute appearances. He was replaced by Antonio in the 37th minute.

After that Moses only made four starts when Antonio, Payet or Lanzini were unavailable while Antonio started every game but one and earned himself a call up to the England squad in the summer.

Victor Moses didn't have a motivation issue, he had a Michail Antonio issue......

OK, I love Mikey too. But you have to admit that Moses was a revelation at RWB last season, in a PL-winning side. So yes, props to Conte. But you have to admit there's one hell of a player there as well when everything clicks into place.

And I still remember his purple patch for us with pleasure. That time he lifted the ball over the defender, the run and shot off the crossbar that Payet scored from (OK, my memory's not great, so I won't continue, but I do remember feelings - and I remember feeling proud of him for a patch).

Fernando is apparantly being linked with Newcastle, Bournemouth and Saints for a reported fee of about £5mil

Surely that is worth a punt, he was class at Porto and while he never really made it at City but it's a hard place to go to and be successful as a defensive minded midfielder

It's not an area of real concern but we don't really have a proper DM now that Nordveit has gone

It may stunt Cullen chance but he's 29 so he's not really gping to ruin his chances

Obiang, Kouyate, Noble and Fernando for next year as centre midfielder options with Cullen and Fernandes as the youth

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Apparantly Burnley are open to selling Andre Gray for £10mil as he's into his latest 12 months of his contract

He got 9 premier league goals and 23 in the championship the year before plus at 25 years old he's in his prime

Think we should definately be after him....far more realistic transfer than Giroud who I just cannot see us getting regardless of what the papers say

TwistandShout

Should be all over that

alderz

I would happily have Andre Gray, but also I don't think he is "the answer". Would still need another first team striker

Agree Alderz ;ok

Giroud/Iheanacho + Gray

Would give us:

Giroud/Iheanacho, Gray, Carroll, Martinez

As our 4 strikers. (Assuming Fletcher is loaned out)

Vorselaarhammer

;lol

BREAKING: Arsenal reach an agreement for Kylian Mbappe...

They've agreed it's never going to happen.

ASLEFshrugged

The problem with Andre Gray is he normally plays in a front two "little and large" combo with Sam Vokes or Ashely Barnes as the "large" and Gray as the "little", I'm not sure if he'd be as good playing as a lone striker

Moore_than_a_nick

If only we had a big striker.

No, I get your point, ASLEF, but I'd love to see us play more with the little and large combo - whether Lanzini, Ayew or a new guy off AC-when-fit.

Vorselaarhammer

Does secret mean something different in France...

Lyon President: "Giroud told me in secret he hopes that he would be the number one striker at Arsenal next season."

thornburyiron

There are lots of secret passageways in Lyon so perhaps he told him in one of those.

Yes, it means you only tell one person at a time...

Anyone else starting to panic even though promised themselves they wouldn't especially as its early days?

MrsGrey

Nope. Not panicking. ;cool

OldCastleSwift

Especially as the latest from Ex is that although we want Hart we can't afford him, so are looking at John Ruddy because he's free.

And we may make a loan offer for Barkley if he becomes available.
