2015 Summer Transfer Thread

Reus was excluded from team today...  Healthy scratch.  Did not play...  Multiple reports are that he's on his way to RM. 

Man....I hope so, but I just don't believe it.

Wenger announced today that he will not be buying a striker because none are for sale.  He will not pay top dollars for average quality player.  4th place... Here we come!

So like I said...I'll believe Karim is going to Arsenal when he's presented with an Arsenal shirt.

Don't get it...  Looks like he's staying at Madrid?  No?

 

Madrid wanted way too much money for him (excess  of £50m)  and Wenger was not going to pay that for almost 28 years old.

Wenger even come out and said it himself that there is a lack of true #9 and teams (Real Madrid) trying to charge outrages fee for just above average strikers.

In fairness, Benz isn't really just an "above average" striker.

Well, he scores as many goals as Giroud.  What Arsenal need is a good finisher.

Giroud poaches goals against mid table teams (which isnt bad) but can't score against top 4 sides.

How many would he score if he didn't defer to Ronaldo though?

that's a big IF.  Benzema averages around 10-12 assists per year.  It does not mean he would score 10-12 goals.  In 2013-2014 season Giroud had 10 assists.

Right, but coming from someone who watches every RM game I can say that Benz defers a ton to Ronaldo and others. That's one of the reasons that RM who want him out do. They feel he's not ruthless enough in front of goal and he's willing to pass up a good chance to pander to his teammates. What they do with his passes is a whole other story.

Well, reports are that Madrid indeed accepted Arsenal £50m bid for Benzema but Benzema refused to move.

Confirmed signing Clinton N'jie

2nd attempt to buy Berahino form the Baggies rejected, but they're playing hardball

Ade potentially on the way out for at leas a season long loan spell with option to buy

Lamela potentially being loaned to Inter Milan - good move for both clubs.

Bolasie rumoured to be coming in.

 

I'd take that transfer window in a heartbeat!

John Stones has handed in his transfer request. Wants a move to Chelsea.
