    OK, I've now heard it's back on again. Not easy being an ITK I'll let you know. ;lol

    £40m is crazy for someone who hasn’t even set Serie A alight.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if the Yarmalenko bid scared Lazio into accepting our Anderson offer

    That's how the big boys do it.... ;ok

    Not long now. Wilshere doing his pre-unveiling stuff...

    Burke is going to Hull. Medical today.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Good luck to him ;scarf

    Heard a fee of about £1.5mil...... seems a tad short for me, but i dont think that hes good enough for the premier league and wont get to hat level unless he gets regular playing time

    Hope we have a good sell on fee for any future moves as i do think he could become a decent player

    Good luck to the lad

    Wilshere announced on sky

    Would much rather get Anderson than the Ukraine fella. After that, go all guns blazing for Payet.

    Fabianski
    Fredericks - Diop - Ogbonna - Masuaku
    Obiang - Wilshere
    Anderson - Payet - Yarmolenko
    Arnautovic

    Adrian, Reid, Zabaleta, Cresswell, Rice, Noble, Kouyate, Antonio, Carroll, Hernandez

    What a squad we're gonna have! ;wink

    I reckon there will be a couple going out the door, Antonio has to be a favourite.... I’d be very surprised if we're spending 86m net
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Antonio to Palace / Townsend to Newcastle I reckon
  • McHammerMcHammer
    I think 1or 2 of obiang Kouyate or Fernandez could go also
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Does seem likely, especially as Yarmolenko and balbeuna sound close

    Cant see us spending over £70mil without some sales balance them out
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    It’s nailed on that some players will be leaving - I’ll reckon we will be trying to raise £20-£25m in doing so

    This I would not be upset about.

    I think one or two will inevitably leave but we did show a nice profit in the January and never spent on the elusive DM last summer, so hopefully the board have chosen this window as the moment to really go for it. They have got a big name manager and seem to be backing him in a significant way. I hope that is the reason for the high spending window so far....... and not that Arnie is off for big money, which would undo it all for me.
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    I have a feeling that Arnie is a done deal and the Ukraine guy is his replacement, just a feeling.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Would like to keep Obiang.

    Kouyate can be effective but 10M would be a yes.

    Fernandez I think is too light weight for the PL so if we can get value for him then I would take it.

    There should be no reason why we won't be spending £60m-£80m. We didn't spend last season & didn't really splash out the season before, have sold the likes of Fonte, Sakho, Payet, Randolph, Tomkins, Valencia, Nordtveit, Fletcher, Feghouli, Ayew etc. Not to mention the likes of Snodgrass, Hugill, Byram etc who will probably go this window.

    I would be disappointed immensely if these signings are funded by a big name sale. That is not progression.

    I doubt he'd be flying to our pre-season camp if it was 'done'.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    This could be the line up at the start of the season

    Fabianski
    Fredericks - Diop - Balbuena - Masuaku
    Obiang - Wilshere
    Anderson - Arnautovic - Yarmolenko
    Hernandez
  • AdamAdam
    I’ve seen a few lineups (not just Fortuneseeker’s) showing Arnie not as a striker. I’m pretty sure he’s going to be our main striker next season (assuming he stays).
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Adam,

    I just wanted to get Javier into the line up as most I have seen don't have him starting which will not only be a shame but a mistake IMHO. ;ok
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    According to SSN we'd consider offers in excess of £15M for Antonio.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Hmmmm

    Seems very low to me

    He has struggled with injuries hut hes effective when he is on,and we can deffo get more in this market
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    They're now saying we'd take £10M for Kouyate.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Finally we've rejected bids for Obiang but are prepared to sell him.
  • AdamAdam
    To be fair, Rice (assuming this is his position this season), Noble, Obiang, Kouyate, Wilshere, maybe even Fernandes is a bit excessive for maybe 2 DM/CM places.
