RobinRobin 12408 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) He'll go to Arsenal over us Edited August 31, 2022 by RobinRobin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Arsenal have supposedly been negotiating a deal for Tielemans for months. Unless they've decided against it, it seems very unlikely he'll going anywhere but there. It does seem odd that Arsenal didn't sign him earlier in the window though, but maybe Leicester were waiting to secure a replacement before letting him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 7502 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I think a lot of clubs hold out for more money and then realise that they'll get nothing for him in 12 months. Or even <10m in January. He definitely isn't going to sign a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23461 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 if you're tielemens and arsenal have come in for you, you're probably choosing them over us at this stage. arteta has bought very well. i think they'll have a good season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Amadou Haidara off Leipzig has been mentioned as a possibility for a new DM this morning as well. We've been scouting him for a long while if memory serves me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 7502 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Then we're not done ! I expect at least one on loan and Mbappe signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2989 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Eddie said as much in his pre-match interview. Not that you'd expect him to give anything away mind but I think he may have been a bit more "fuzzy" about it if we still had targets for this window.

wykikitoon 22640 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If the window closes now I am happy. It's just shit the injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5908 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 This is what it's going to take though, ultimately. Steady progress. We're not going to qualify for Europe this year because we're not ready to do so, we don't have the strength in depth. If we did qualify, next summer would involve bringing in more players than planned and we'd probably still end up in a position where the sheer number of games we'd have to contend with would hamper our overall league progress. Consolidate this year for top ten/threatening Europe. Add to the team again next summer with a clear aim of European qualification and no world cups, European games or any other bullshit to distract us from it. This gives us an advantage over 4th and 5th. Next season we get Europe and use that as a platform to bring in some really top tier players in order to put the foundations down for lasting success. If we sprint to Europe this year we'd struggle next season. As much as I'd love to see it, I think I want the path that is more likely to get us what we want in the medium to long term. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very sensible process and one that is sustainable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 7502 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We haven't lost a game yet and there was dribble marks left because of Longstaff. I'll reserve judgment until we get our first tonking. Which will probably be tonight. Im watching you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with most of that, apart from your last paragraph. I think the club has developed the infrastructure to be able to build on a European campaign next season. It'd also increase the level of attraction of the club to better players so we'd see another marked improvement in our transfer business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
