Summer Transfer Window 2019

[mill]

Just 10 days to go. Silva must be fuming at this stage.

Sounds like you’re the one fuming tbh.

Striker comparison at the moment . I know which three I'd rather have.

Pepe isn’t a striker and they tend to play Aubameyang on the left.

If Pepe isn’t called a striker than neither can DCL, Niasse nor Toson be called one
Would you swap any of ours for any of theirs?

Why are you trying to start a petty argument? Take not of GrandOldTeam’s earlier thread.

He said he wanted players in to work with by the end of the month, which is by Wednesday. Since then, we’ve brought no one in and we’re selling Gueye.

We haven’t won one pre-season game and our performances have been poor.

At the end of the day, his head will be the one on the block if we have a bad start to the season.

And every Arsenal fan would probably swap their entire back 4 for ours, fortunately football isn’t 4 vs 4 or 3 vs 3 though.

Well we have like.

In fairness to Kirkbride he could well be right about Zaha. I saw a house for sale the other day, a nice house but I had no interest at all in buying it.
The next thing I know, i’d rang up and slapped in a £52 million offer. It’s easy done.

I'd say it's unfortunate for us. We could defo put 4 decent players out, it's 11 that's a struggle.

The Echo clearly know next to nothing... their way to hide it is to deny every story because they are playing the odds and know more rumours come to nothing than end in deals. They can then smugly claim to be ITK. The tabloids on the other hand report everything in the hope that something will stick.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Quite the opposite. He said Everton's stance never changed and that the player wanted Everton. Stood firm and believed they would get him.

He did, however there was a story of him on a yacht concerned when Mina scored against England, he felt other teams would enter for Mina.

Nope, He will be aware of the situation. Sounds like you are the one fuming.

I think there's a bit more to it than that. Kirkbride will have a source, but one who either isn't willing, or isn't able, to say who are targets are. They may well be able to say who are targets aren't though, which explains why can they confidently say we're not interested in somebody.

Pepe plays out wide.

Pre season means nothing. At all. Other than fitness.

We look to be close to getting 2 great forwards. My guess is there will be a CB and CDM to follow. Plus a couple of loans I’d imagine. Ideally we get players in sooner but the market has been slow overall. It’ll kick off over the next week or so.

And I wasn’t starting any argument. Just making an observation about your posts in general, which seem to be fairly negative across the board.

I doubt that the club would flat out snub the local paper. It's in both their interests to cooperate.

Obviously during transfer negotiations it could be expedient to send some false signals, but in general I'd expect the echo journalists to have as good an insight as anyone into what's happening.
