est1874 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) We should be so lucky/bold. Whoever takes Fernandinho on a bosman, he'll be pocketing £2-3m in a signing-on fee and wages of £150,000+. That's not a deal we're about to sanction for a 36-year-old. Edited June 4, 2021 by est1874 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Wouldn’t be surprised if Fernandinho goes to play for Arteta at Arsenal. Would be a good signing, but not for the sort of money he would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 We'd be mad to say no to Fernandinho at a total outlay of around £8m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a top club it is worth the cost but for us we need longer term investments I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Documentary about a club, the detail of which is largely controlled by the club, paints a player having problems with the club in a bad light. Not saying he is an angel or that I'd take him but I wouldn't pay much heed to what is presented in those documentaries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - we have a philosophy to sign younger players, but we cannot be rigid and ignore pieces that could compliment our squad and help us get into Europe. For example, if you look at Lille, they complimented a young side with a couple of 30+ players who were key to them winning the French League over PSG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 However great it might be to have Fernandinho for a season, I just think it's too short termism for this leadership team. They'll want to get the next Fernandinho and invest in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never questioned Arteta's football knowledge and he is obviously a very talented coach, it's the man managment part i've always questioned about him. Arsenal will be interesting next season. Really don't they they are as bad as some people are making them out to be. Smith Rowe and Saka extremely talented players and will only get better. Haven't you heard? Smith-Rowe is joining Villa.

Dave-R Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, useless said: I only watched the first two minutes of that Pereira video but looks like he should have had another ten assists just based on that. I do feel with him that he's a very good player let down by the rest of the team. Much like us and how Grealish last season was being let down, it was all to be expected because it's survival. The Baggies have had a similar story but failed to secure survival and now we maybe wise to go steal there prized asset. Maybe Pereira will be another Watkins, Martinez type signing where he just makes an instant impact and another player that is excellent through most a season. The kind of player that makes us edge closer to being a team that can rely on eachother to win even if Grealish is out. Creativity has been a problem without Grealish, not all the time but it has been a problem at times and we would be wise to start looking out more for creative players. I wouldn't be so against the idea of having Pereira, Beundia and Dwight McNeil at the club alongside Jack, bring in a new CDM and Damn you have the makings on a lethal frontline and midfield. I would have Beundia on the right, Grealish attacking midfield, Dwight McNeil on the left and Pereira sitting behind Grealish with Watkins in his usual place and he's certainly surrounded by a creative tricky bunch.. Also have Ghazi, Mcginn, Traore on the bench and the squad and bench is starting to sound like a treat I believe. I do want Chuk and couple others to see gametime with the first team next season still but it has to be done at stages and to rejuvenate first team players. Exciting times this Summer, who will be walking through the Villa doors and who else will be leaving? I think I would sell Davis and bring in Barry in his place for a start. Wesley I would give some friendly game time before season starts and if he doesnt impress maybe sell and then bring in someone who can supply some threat on field, supply competition to Watkins and kick ass when needed. I just hope Wes can show some early signs that theres a good player in there. Wonder if Engels, Guilbert and couple other fringe stars will be leaving us, wontbring much in there sales but it's be something to put towards some players we do want.
