2017/18 Football Transfer Thread

[Basileos Leandros I]

Despite the selling of Morata, let's not forget he was pretty crucial for Real in the run up to the title. Crucial goals those with smaller teams.

Alvaro Morata scored more goals than Karim Benzema this season even as he played less time. Real Madrid often won their match during the last minutes in no small part thanks to Morata.

Lemar - now up for sale but Monaco want £55m. I think Wenger will pay it.

Carvalho - Will Wenger finally get a specialist DM? Media claims we're in talks for him.

Mahrez - Wenger hasn't said he wants him but the player seems to think a deal is on.

Goretzka - This rumour keeps coming back. I like him a lot, skill, confidence coming forward and able to hold the midfield.

Out...
Sanchez - our best player last couple of seasons but seems to be a destabilising influence on the squad. Selling him will always be a gamble but if we get Lemar, Mahrez and Carvalho/Goretzka, the squad will be stronger, imo.

To get some perspective (or an overview of the madness of what's going on at the moment). Wenger is trying to orchestrate a massive clear out while also trying to hold on to players who's contracts he let run down. I've put Sanchez in the first team and as a possible 'out' (hmm)... What it really shows is the team will still struggle against tough physical teams, I think if we get Lemar and Carvalho/Goretzka (in the middle) the attack becomes more solid and unpredictable. Personally, I still think Ozil is too much of a luxury player for the PL.

First team based on players at the end of last season and two new signings.
Cech.
Bellerin.
Holding.
Mustafi.
Koscielny.
Kolasinac.
Xhaka.
Ramsey.
Sanchez.
Ozil.
Lacazette.

Reserves.
Ospina.
Nacho.
Ox.
Welbeck.
Giroud.
Gabriel.
Mertesacker.

Possible buys.
In...
Carvalho.
Lemar.
Goretzka.
Mahrez.

Possible outs.
Out....
Sanchez.
Iwobi. - Loan.
Elneny.
Gibbs.
Walcott.
Perez.
Coquelin.
Wilshere.
Cazorla.
Campbell.
Chambers.
Debuchy.
Jenkinson.

The best announcement video ever!

Alvaro Morata scored more goals than Karim Benzema this season even as he played less time. Real Madrid often won their match during the last minutes in no small part thanks to Morata.

Though when he was at Juventus he had a peculiar habit:
-score regularly, important goals when starting from the bench
-abysimal performance when starting from the field

Not sure if he kept that.

[Knight of Heaven]

Btw Basil,i hear Renato Sanches its going to AC Milan?!

Maybe on Loan.

[Basil II the B.S]

It has been rumoured so far. No idea about it tbh. With a striker coming, either you are top notch and I don't think he is yet, or you risk the benchh.

[Anna_Gein]

It is done.

Neymar Jr signs with Paris Saint-Germain!

So far the best Milan signings have been Conti, Rodriguez and Kessie.

Then Calhanoglu and Musacchio who have done alright, not shined particularly, hard to judge Andre Silva as he hasn't played much.

[Candy_Licker]

So Dembele now on strike because Dortmund rejected Barcelona's ridiculous offer. Right. Someboy should tell the kid he signed a 5 year contract a year ago.

I hear he scored an hat trick for Milan.
That said i still think he still has much to learn, even tough he is doing fine in the national team as well. ( last macth against hungary he did gave the victory).

He is a Striker with good potencial, lets see if he doesnt get "wasted" in meantime.

[Basil II the B.S]

Yep against Austria Vienna it was the first great game of both Andrè Silva and Calhanoglu. Though Silva had scored twice against some other team in the Europa League before.

[Basileos Leandros I]

Van Dijk is off to Liverpool!

Southampton -> Liverpool

Quality CB.

[Dude with the Food]

£75 million quality?

[Petrucci]

Considering how inflated prices are prolly!

[lolIsuck]

£75 million quality?

He costs what the madman gives for him, to poorly translate a Dutch saying.

[Petrucci]

This is the first post in this sub forum in 2018! #TWCdead

On topic, Barkley joined Chelsea, Walcott Everton.

[Halie Satanus]

Arguably the biggest transfer news is Sanchez to Utd. Not really much to say about it. I don't blame him taking the money, our contract policy is nothing short of incompetence.

Aubameyang is an exciting prospect though.. If we get him.

Be nice to sign a CDM.... There's a thought..

[Sir Adrian]

Wenger won't be buying Aubameyang any time soon

[Halie Satanus]

Arsenal transfer team are in Germany now, previous record isn't great but we've got Sven Mislintat in the squad and he brought Aubameyang to BVB. We'll know in the next couple of days, possibly tomorrow..
