PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Just seen that he specifically said Buendia wanted to move to Arsenal earlier on in the window--so, take this about ESR with a pinch of salt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hopefully took up about a day's worth of our teams efforts, a few days more of their team, earns him an extra £30k+ a week and the anger from their fans remains Shame if it doesnt happen as I think he'll be a player but still a lot of positives from this, says to me we're looking and moving in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I’m assuming the guy that posted that tweet is the Arsenal equivalent of John Percy? If not, there’s every chance he knows **** all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Random soccer correspondent might be right, or he might be grasping at thin air to make himself sound cool to the hundreds of weird online Arsenal fans. Ive always thought it unlikely that we’d sign him, but it could happen. And if it doesn’t, then I didn’t want him anyway and we only bid for the laughs and to make them pay extra millions out on his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 It was going to be a long shot but I still like the fact we have the finances and the belief to go after these types of players.

Much appreciated… it tires me too. Personally, I don’t shit myself at the thought of signing foreign players as many seem to do. If you employ a specialist scouting team that does it’s research well, you can find the right players with the right personality and of exceptional talent and value. British based is no guarantee either, there’s plenty of home based crap about. We’ve been burned on that front too, many times. Most recently, Drinkwater & Barkley… too many overrated and overpaid players… Most of the greatest players and biggest stars came in from abroad, it’s what the most successful teams too. They can transform and elevate a team - if you get the right ones. All anyone needs to do is look up a list of the greatest ever players to grace this league. I mean, why pay over 40/50m for fairly run of the mill PL players when you can sign the likes of the next Argentine superstar and the best no. 10 in South America for a lot, lot less? And we already have 4 South American's and are more prepared as a club to help them settle in and integrate. I know we’ve fed the media the line of us looking for or prioritising home based players but it certainly doesn’t rule out a foreign star or two. We signed Traore and Sanson last season for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
