The New Era of Financial Frugality - The Transfer Thread

Fran Garcia's dream to play for Real Madrid is so close, but yet so far.

 

Just read that he's actually originates from our La Fabrica. Sad but typical of how we handle our youth players. Rafa Marin is another player who probably will be world class, but somehow he is never called up to the first team.

 

I believe they think we have it covered. Which would actually would if Ancelotti would finally move Alaba to LB and allow Nacho to cover for Rudigier and Militao.

With that one move some of have been begging for since the season started we would have sorted and stabilized three of our four defensive positions.

Let's hope it doesn't take Carlo too long to come to this conclusion

 

Well, if Carlo isn't around next season, the decision won't be his to make...

 

Some rumours linking Pedro Porro of Sporting to RM today…

 

Yeah, that is partly why I wrote about Fresnedo. The other part is that there are strong rumors about Arsenal negociating about him right now. IMO Porro is another Odriozola. He is great in attack but not an asset in defence, he plays wing back not fullback

 

We just spent €10M on Vinicius Tobias. I don't see us spending again this summer on RB.

The player is there. It is on Ancelotti to actually use him or injuries to force him into a corner (which happened last season) where he has to use him and ends up a genius.

 

Its not confirmed as I know..We have a lot useless players in our current squad like Mariano,Hazard,Vallejo..and some which arent good enough or are beggining to decline like Mendy,Carvajal,Ceballos....we need to shake the market next summer

 

Probably Carlo's personal relationship with Alaba is preventing him from moving him to LB which is the most logical move.

No shit. He’s finished.

 

Sooo, Saka...... if there was ever a good time to snap up a soon to be WC RW it would be now. Get it done ffs

 

Those English players won't leave PL. Bellingham maybe we have a chance because he's already abroad. Besides, Arsenal are strong again for the first time since mid 2000s pretty much so they are not losing any stars.

 

It won't be difficult for Saka to assimilate as it has been for previous British star players because nearly two thirds of our team already speak English unlike when Bale came and only a handful could. Besides we have a host of young players that Saka will line up with. That must be exciting. But yh the last part is what probably will be the key to him staying at Arsenal. Oh well....we really could have used a player like him. He'd walk into our line up blindfolded.

 

Eh? Saka isn’t leaving Arsenal.

 

How do you know?

 

Because I know he isn’t.

 

Are you a family member of his or a close friend?

 

No, just common sense.

1) he’s been at Arsenal since he was 8
2) he’s an outstanding player worth well over £100m, maybe more in todays value
3) Arsenal are on the up
4) Arsenal don’t need to sell
5) He’s English.

Like I said, he’s not leaving Arsenal.

 

So just speculation then......

I think Saka could be tempted. He'd walk straight into the starting line up at serial winners RM. Who would turn that down, probably someone with small ambitions.

 

Not everyone wants to play for Real Madrid.

 

Most if not all who turn us down end up regretting it down the road anyways.

If we test the waters we can see what the intentions are until then everything is just speculations.

 

Saka is like 21. I don’t think Madrid even enters his head.

 

Especially with the way things are going for him and Arsenal at the moment

 

Exactly, Arsenal are competitive domestically again and he’s their main guy.

He simply has no reason to even want to leave right now.
