2017-2018 Summer Transfer Window

Posted by Ix Techau about 7 years ago · 461 replies

Squad rules terminology refresher:

  • We can register up to 25 players who are over 21
  • We can register a maximum of 17 non-homegrown players
  • Homegrown player means 36 months spent in England before end of season in which they turn 21
  • U21 player means any player born on or after January 1st 1996
  • U21 players don't have to be registered in order to play, which means we can have as many as we want

Confirmed transfers in/out:

  • Lacazette has signed for a club record £46m initial fee
  • Sanogo left on a free transfer on June 30th
  • Kolasinac joined on a free transfer on July 1st
  • Ospina has asked to be put on the transfer list
  • Lucas Perez has asked to be put on the transfer list
  • Wojciech Szczesny has joined Juventus for £10m

Likely transfers in/out:

  • Debuchy leaving has been on the cards for some time
  • Jenkinson could go on another season-long loan or permanent move
  • Unless said in jest, Wenger did say he wants to bid on Mahrez

Reading some of the suggestions that were posted here... Looks like Arsenalreport has finally gone full retard. Bring back Cesc? Young players will look up to him? To who? The cunt who stabbed us in the back? Cretins.

Also, Mesut Ozil, despite scoring the winner at Middlesbrough, is not greater than me and my mum. If he is more consistent and works harder, then he has a chance.

Maybe he will if we get Arda Turan pushing him to work harder and more consistent.

Pogba is a good player. We almost got him for free but failed to sign him after he picked Juventus at the last minute.

We should sell Giroud for 20 million for the eager Marseille and get Lacazette at all costs the way Barca did so with Fabregas. After all, we are the bigger and better club (compared to Lyon).

Then we need to be smart in our approach to get a reasonable deal.

Stupid would be like Suarez.

We need to learn from that and go all in to get the striker to succeed RVP, Giroud, Bendtner, etc.

I've heard that Wenger wants to challenge Chelsea for van Dijk this summer.

However, despite his quality, I'd rather stick with Holding since he will become one of the best center backs in the world and will also be cheaper and less injury-prone that van Dijk.

Of course, the cost is the should be the last reason for these things. Holding would save us a lot of money, in the long run, the way the likes of Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, and Jordan Pickford did when they were class players that cost little to nothing for their service.

Just keep him away from injury as much as possible and we've got a potentially world-class player.

but if (Wenger*) continues to play with 3 at the back, we need another quality centreback to challenge for title.. Now we have Koscieny, Mustafi, Gabriel, Holding and Chambers could play as CB..

All good options but I think Holding can be the "Bellerin" of center back being a centre-back who likes to be the "pivot" from defense to attack and the fact that he is still young could help him to perhaps be better than van Djik.

Holding is a good prospect but not sure he can play week in week out.. with Gabriel and Chambers will be more of backup, we need another experienced CB..

Of course, don't push it too far. It's not good to push youngsters too much the way we kind of did with Iwobi and city with Stones.

Plus, another backup would be Nacho Monreal since he has played as a centre-back for us and has done well with against Leicester.

What I'm more focused on is our attack. Defense is fine but I'd rather go all out to get the attackers we need to win the title.

Arsene Wenger has admitted Arsenal have little chance of signing Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe, as he feels the Gunners would struggle to compete with the spending power of Europe's elite.

Arsenal are prepared to put Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the £100,000-a-week bracket as they look to persuade the 22-year-old to extend his deal, according to the Daily Mirror.

He also said he could have signed him last year before he was popular
