Fire us back into CL and then bring Aouar home next summer

Why would Thiago have left the Champions League winners to come to a club in the Europa League? When Liverpool were desperate to sign him?

Never a realistic target.


Per other thread. Why would Partey leave Atletico to join Arsenal. Because we'd pay him £200k a week.

Vastly different scenarios. Partey is not the player Thiago is and we don't have the competition for him like we would have done for Thiago. Plus, if he does sign, I doubt it'll actually be on 200k p/w.

Partey is not the player Thiago is yet we'd have to fork up an extra £25 - £30m and an extra £2m a year in wages. I know he's in his final year but still.

What competition was there for Thiago outside Liverpool ? They had a free run at him.

I can't help but feel the reason there is limited competition for Partey is because he's overpriced, similar to Pepe.

United were rumoured to be interested, as were Barcelona. Could have been a case that he had his heart set on Liverpool and he was just waiting for them to meet Bayern's demands.

I don't buy that. Barca already signed Pjanic and have Busquets, De Jong and Puig who will fill the other positions

United signed VDB and have Bruno, Pogba, Matic, Fred and McTominay.

I honestly don't think there was much interest in him outside of Liverpool.

He had 1 year left on his contract as Bayern left it too late to negotiate, Bayern didn’t want to lose him for free and wanted some money to spend (plus he’s 29) and he was keen on moving to Liverpool, not much else to it to be honest.

He’ll fit in perfectly at Liverpool, he’s a Liverpool kind of a player.

Angelina posted this in the non Arsenal transfer thread:

Accto the Athletic, Bayern reps contacted Arsenal and Chelsea for Thiago in hopes of a three-way bidding war. We weren't interested.

Oh look.

Finally, someone with a working brain.

Instead of narratives like The Company believes Xhaka is akin to Messi, which instantaneously makes him a stern, dedicated champion of footballing philosophy and a magnified metaphor of success and values that sets Arsenal apart from the rest.

Today shows we need Aouar.

We need another player to come up with creativity and have someone who can take over from Ceballos, as in a player who is actually ours.

We need to get a move on with signing midfielders, we’re really lacking in that department and we’re lucky it hasn’t cost us so far. Our midfield is no existent, Xhaka is a waste of time and Ceballos is a decent backup but not a starter.

There's been no news on Aouar like there was for Aubameyang or Gabriel so no, clearly you haven't.
