Telegraph reckon we have enquired for Sanchez, Vardy and Hernandez
I'd rather have no tweets about us than ones linking us with Vardy and Hernandez.
Looks like they're hedging their bets.
Vardy would be a pretty sweet bench/rotation option, to replace Ibra. His pace coming on at the end of games would frighten many teams.
Three of them doesn't fit the same profile... Maybe we're not interested at all
Liverpool say Sturridge can go for 30M. That ink dry yet on the VVD cheque? English money is crazy. Let´s see how crazy.
So Sam Wallace says " It remains to be seen whether United and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward would be prepared to sanction that kind of fee for a 29-year-old with no sell-on value" with regards to Hernandez costing £17m, but then no mention of that for a £35m fee for a 31 year old Vardy.
I'd like to believe that article is a wind up and nothing more.
The day started with Sanchez rumours and are ending with Vardy rumours. Exquisite.
good luck kid.....liked his positivity in his few fleeting appearances - that loan should be a tough test which will be valuable
We cant let him go without replacing him, and we have more than enough money given we didn't spend the entirety of our sizeable summer budget and have just got another windfall on top of that. We theoretically have plenty of money for the summer already and selling him for a further positive net spend is ludicrous. He might want to leave but we can't afford to let him and Coutinho go in the same window unless someone is coming in.
Lemar?
underwhelming but Vardy is a pest - a record against the top teams that is more than decent
but yes....not exactly Ruud Van-Wazza-Persie-Tevez
95% likelihood it's bullshit anyway
you see this is where Woody is doing it wrong
while we 'prepare bids' Inter are 'presenting offers'
The one thing I like about Vardy is his willingness to chase lost causes and his amazing work rate, something we haven't had in a player since Tevez IMO.
Seems to be quiet on that front at the moment.
Its a weird one, im convinced Arsenal only put that 92mill bid in last summer to placate their fans and Monaco just went this is silly money and we'll take it. (Cue Arsenal panicking excuses)
Prior to that they wouldn't go above 50mill and all reports this window indicate Monaco will sell at 60mill. No brainer tbh
Ings is fit now and you've got Solanke. Firmino, Ings, Solanke as the three striker options'll do.
Why do I picture a boardroom with a couple Italians showing a powerpoint presentation and the Barca people sipping coffee and smirking?
you'd take him on a free or for 10-15 million or something given his age but yes, totally agree....love the guys energy and spirit
he seems to be up for the big games which you couldn't really say about Lukaku....yet maybe
I think Ings may go on loan. Possibly to Newcastle.
in my mind, Italian number 1 brings out the bongos for a drum roll, italian number 2 raises a velvet cloth revealing the offer, italian number 3 breaks out the fererro rocher and vino......
next thing it's done dealio
Apparently they have no intention of letting Ings go this month as well as Sturridge.
"Enquiry" is a nice "we didn't say it would happen" deniability for when none of these actually happen. They spread the dragnet wide as possible to catch something and give it the old "we called it". Trawling "Journalism" at its finest.
Ings hasn't played in 2.5 years and Solanke as promising as his appearances have been, is yet to net a senior goal. Considering how many we've lost with Phil's remarkable output it's nowhere near good enough the drop off is too stark.
It's why we're also going to look toothless even more so if one of Mane/Salah get injured and Ox\Lallana get pushed wide, their output from that position isn't good enough either and it has a knock on effect rendering the whole system ineffective.
The balance was fine before with rotation/injuries when the schedule kicks in again we could lose massive ground and be hampered in several competitions.
Replacing what we've lost is critical to maintaining momentum.
Yeah Sturridge wants to go. Article says Klopp would respect his wish to fight for a World Cup spot, for which he requires playing time. So if somebody made a sufficient offer, Liverpool would not block a move. I guess West Ham, Southampton, maybe Everton(?) would be interested and capable to pay up.
Chicharito.. now I heard it all.
Have you not watched him this season? I can’t believe people are STILL sad we didn’t buy him, he’s crap.
Its Jan ffs and he has had 2 managers and one doesnt like him. He isnt crap.
He’s so very average and the amount of blinkered fans he has on here still is utterly baffling.
Boo this man!
The fact that Ornstein doesn't mention us at all - he's normally extremely reliable for Arsenal - says it all, really. I'm pretty sure we made no bid.
Please god just take Sanchez. Last thing you want is City/Pep to get Malcom and build him into one of the best young wingers in the game. Rather they get a couple of years of production in Sanchez vs Malcom’s entire prime.
Think he means Arsenal want Malcom
