Summer Transfer Window 2021

Nowhere near enough dubstep

Disappointed but really hope he continues to bangs in the goals up there. 

If we didn't insert some sort of buy-buck clause than we're foolish.

I'd be very interested in the buyback clause for Abraham. He's only 23 and, if Werner doesn't drastically improve this season, I'd be looking at cutting our losses.

I'm hopeful that 6 months of playing under Tuchel (and VAR being loosened) will have improved Werner. Picturing him playing more as a winger this season with Havertz acting as backup for Lukaku in the middle.

Ben Davies does indeed exist as he's gone to Sheffield Utd on loan for 500k with an additional 500k if they get promoted

[Cymbols]

Yeah this will be fun. Bournemouth fans are salty af over the inconclusive goal when Sheffield played Villa due to the Hawkeye failure, and Nyland was in goal for that.

Arsenal are getting Odegaard on a permanent deal.

This whole saga is so boring. City don't want to meet the valuation, very little seems to be changing in that regard.

Romano gave it the here we go and confirmed treatment.

Seems like a bargain getting him for under €40m in this market. He’s still only 22 - which is mad. 

Definitely a brilliant signing for us. Odegaard, Smith Rowe and Saka should be our first-choice attacking trio with some sort of striker ahead of them.

Definitely. If Auba and Laca are playing silly buggers then I'd happy try Pepe and Martinelli up front with those three.

[The Lusophone]

"He'll be respectful in the next few days" how about the last couple of days? Where his new PR firm placed positive stories in the Telegraph and elsewhere about him?

[Cymbols]

Odegaard is a class signing for Arsenal, fair play.

[Colly]

I like Odegaard but did Arteta get much out of him last season? Or is the issue that Arteta doesn't get much out of anyone?

A bit of that - but also he did sustain an ankle injury fairly early on and I’m almost positive that it had a big impact in some of his performances. 

I really like what he brings to the side, has a lot of energy and leads the press well. Then on top of that, he does have a good eye for a pass. Him playing with Smith Rowe and Saka on a consistent basis should lead to some really good combinations in the final third.

I do wonder about playing Pepe in the centre-forward position. He’s 100% the type of player that thrives on being at the end of moves, he’s not really a player you need in the build-up. He’s good at making space for himself and getting shots away. 

[Szumi]

Question: aren't ESR and Odegaard both best in the 10? 

[Szumi]

 

This seems like such a massive waste of money

[Cymbols]

Paying £10m more than they sold Emi Martinez for. Unreal business.
