So is this cunt any good?… his imminent

move to the West Midlands seems to have made certain Arsenal fans think that they’re about to sign John Dhuran  

All fart nee shite.

 

@Diego21 will back me up.

[The Fish 11112]

 

They want fucking shooting if they sign him and don't sing

I am assuming that’s good profit from a PSR point of view? Tricky one as he might be useful squad member. Do we roll the dice and take the profit now? Krafu is almost back along with Lascelles not far behind.

pure profit, as the accountants put it?

 

tbf, we’re covered at LB with Hall, Tino and Targett and at LCB with Botman and Burn.

 

Lascelles coming back gives us three options at RCB with Schar and Kraft.

 

Defence is the area where we actually have decent depth, albeit RCB could be upgraded. 
 

If selling Kelly helps finance a move for a striker or RW, it’s a no brainer

[OTF 7872]

Assuming Kelly has any interest in going to Turkey.

He's presumably on a good wage here as a free transfer, so they would really have to make it worth his while to move so soon.

[Rayvin 5600]

It's probably just Mourinho reminding our board he exists in case they want to trade in an 8 game win streak for chaos, drama and PSR breaches 

[Dr Gloom 22715]

£11m bid for Kelly from Fenerbahce rejected, according to the Athletic 

[Holden McGroin 6997]

I hope we are not bluffing. Take the money and run Paul !

[Kid Dynamite 7352]

I would hope this is us negotiating rather than refusing to sell. We've pleaded PSR poverty for 4 windows and are being offered 8 figures for a reserve CB. Take the money and invest it in a long term replacement for Schar 

[Dr Gloom 22715]

if we can get them up to £12-15m it's a no brainer. 

[Gemmill 47447]

If none of our CB targets are available, why would we take the money and leave ourselves short in a season where we're one match away from a domestic cup final, and trying to get back into the CL. 

 

Botman is only just back from a long period out, there's no guarantees he can stay fit. Similarly Lascelles isn't even back yet from a long period out.

because he is arguably third choice in the two positions where he provides cover and we're restricted by the psr nonsense. doesn't it make sense if shifting him for a decent fee means we can buy a new RW or CF? we are two injuries away from starting Miggy at RW or Osula/Gordon at CF

[Dr Gloom 22715]

CB is an area where were well covered. RW and CF are not 

[Gemmill 47447]

It doesn't make any sense if none of our targets are available to buy this window, because it weakens the squad. 

[Gemmill 47447]

Basically what I'm saying is rest assured, if this deal makes sense and the money can be put to use to improve the squad this window, I'm sure our manager and DoF will do their jobs and sell the player and reinvest. 

 

If it doesn't, they'll do their jobs and retain the player for what's left of the season. 

 

Demanding that they take the money now is fucking daft when you don't know which of the above scenarios is currently playing out behind the scenes. 

[Optimistic Nut 303]

Sell for £10-15m, get an Onyewu-style loan as 4th choice CB to keep us covered this season and to help with FFP, then go for the big Guehi-style bid in the summer?

But gives us an £11m profit on the player we have had for six months, is on big wages and has only four starts for us.

Aye and what if a month from now we've got an injury crisis. Will all you clever cunts be going "well we never should have sold Kelly and not replaced him. What were they thinking of? Best chance of a trophy in my lifetime and we've blown it for £11m".

 

You can't play the £11m in the cup final.
