Last 4 seasons are 33, 40, 55 & 40 app. 33 was his first full season. Assume he was rotating. Don't know how many games he could have been in but I would be ecstatic with 40+.
Rumors of our Zaha interest won't go away. Now there are claims that Palace have slapped a 100m tag on him to scare us off.
We have supposedly opened conversations with the agent or LW Yacine Brahimi. He is said to have 3rd party ownership that will have to be dealt with. Everton, Newcastle & West Ham are also said to be interested.
Rumor is that Nkunku is bound for RB Leipzig for 15m euros. If true that seems to be very good value for a young attacking midfielder that can play in the middle or on the wing. Given Arsenal's apparent interest in January and their limited budget, I'm not sure what their transfer strategy is anymore.
Seeing reports that negotiations for Saliba have stalled. Arsenal reportedly not willing to double St Etienne's current record sale while also loaning him back. Negotiations on going but no consensus yet. Seeing some reports that we have agreed terms with Yacine Brahimi with the deal to be announced after Algeria is done at the African Nations Cup. We are once again being linked with Malcom. Barca is looking to offload him to open up a non-EU spot for Neymar to return. We are rumored to have agreed a deal for Kieran Tierney worth 20m + addons.
/ Vader NOOOOOOO! BREAKING: Arsenal have today bid £40million for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, Sky Sports News understands— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) July 1, 2019
Poor planning from Zaha really, if he spoons that chance over the bar last season after Mustafi’s brain freeze he would probably already be an Arsenal player. Got to always think ahead.....— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) July 1, 2019
Arsenal would be open including a player, possibly even 2, to get the Zaha deal over the line— Dean Jones (@DeanJonesSoccer) July 1, 2019
I'm no talent scout, but I vividly remember the first few starts G-Nabs had for the Arsenal first team--pre-injury--and thinking, "WOW, that's some raw talent right there. Can't wait for him to become a mainstay for us" Oh well, sh*t happens . . .
Rumors out of France that "a Spanish club" has expressed interest in Laca and a meeting between Arsenal and Laca' Reps has been scheduled for early this week to discuss this interest.
It's already july and preseason is starting. Arsenal are trying to sign Zaha which will drag on forever LOL
Ornstein confirms that the plan is to chip Zaha out of Palace on the cheap Jesus wept As things stand Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace to Arsenal not happening, will take major change(s) to materialise. Also hearing Napoli edging ahead in Kieran Tierney race but deal still there to be done. As we know cash the issue for #AFC this summer #CPFC #CelticFC #SSCNapoli https://t.co/CoNLGmdS7F— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) July 2, 2019 As per @SkyKaveh Arsenal have submitted opening bid for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. No players offered yet as part of proposed deal. Will be rejected & is getting predictably ugly. As previously reported Zaha wants to join #AFC & Emery wants him but #CPFC want huge money— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) July 1, 2019
And will probably mean we'll lose focus on other targets and at the end of the day Zaha will get a fat pay raise, kiss the Palace badge, do a few mea culpas and that will be that.
I know we still have some time but boy our new administration and transfer team is killing it. Killing all hope of even signing a player period much less rebuilding this team.
