@rab helpfully directed to threads for tactics and midfield chat five hours ago…

This thread is about unreliable rumours and as such can be fantasy or fun, but today its derailed by the same discussion that could happen in either threads rab recommended or the post match thread.

Unbelievable. Our only reliable goal scorer is being sold. This club…:man_facepalming:t3:

Well he seems keen to move…

Probably a bit fed up of social media fans using him as scapegoat as he was all last year.

They want Gakpo and this guy?

Incidentally I mentioned him back in June after the Diomande thing went south as lefty who profiled a bit like Rayan.

Also slightly concerned to see Martinelli getting closer to leaving Arsenal when we’ve yet to sew up any of our winger targets.

Is Richard Hughes working for the baddies?

Wait - they are going for two players at once? Don’t City know you can only work on transfers sequentially so if it takes 3 months to agree a deal with PSG that just prevents you doing any other business :thinking:

To be fair, if we were City fans I think we would be very unhappy with their business this summer thus far. Same as we are now.

Yeah, when are we signing Araujo? Ridiculous we’re still waiting for a CB to come in.

Also I wonder if we’ll bid on any pl wingers? Could be nice to have someone proven in the league if Gakpo goes

We’re going to end up with Martinelli aren’t we?

He’s in on loan, different department :sweat_smile:

Nah he’s off to Saudi by looks of it. But if Arsenal have the cash for Alvarez but can’t make that happen I don’t see them keeping that money in their pocket. Everyone else is in transition and they know their time for a period of dominance is now.

You’re talking like weve had 3 months to sign replacements.. :rofl:

They’ll pivot to Barcola

I mean we have but there’s at least four sides to every deal so it’s not always that simple.

You imagine we bought Anthony Gordon at the start of the window to only then find out we could have had Barcola but he’s ended up at Arsenal instead.

I’m okay with waiting on Barcola provided it gets done. And left wing wise I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone move yet that I’d rather have instead of Minteh. The big issue is if they then don’t come off which is what happened with Guehi.

This place would explode :rofl:.

Btw Gordon had two assists in his debut.

I would tell City they can have Gakpo if we can have Semenyo, Guehi, O’Reilly and Lewis to give us a bit of squad depth :wink:

I think if all of this goes through, Barcola will mainly be used on the left and Minteh on the right.
