The Zaha smokescreen?

by .

… so… to cut a long story short… THEY DIDN’T EVEN WANT HIM!

*the bar roars with laughter*

So funny, right? Milan didn’t even want Lucas Torreira.

What a charade.

Well, at least that’s one boring story laid to rest.

The Tierney rumours appear to be ramping up again, the deal looking like it’ll go through for £25m when all the add-ons and bonuses are stacked up.

That’ll be a great piece of transferring if he can stay fit. Having a rapid outlet to make the overlap will be beneficial, it’ll also be nice if he can defend as well.

… also, Jenks going the other way? Incredible biz if it happens. I appreciate the guy likes earning good cash money, but when do you start looking out for your career? When do you demand to play on the regular? When do you decide you want to be an icon in Scotland?

Now Jenks. Go, be free.

The Zaha stories are totally mental, Palace apparently has a £100m release clause in his contract. As an agent, when you’re sitting there with a broken player a few years ago, and Steve Parish asks to put that clause in your deal… how do you let that slide?

No one is going to £100m. No one is paying £80m for him. That would be an absurd amount of money to drop on someone that is 27 and yet to be proven at the highest level. I think all the bluster is because they ARE going to sell him, and obviously want to create the impression he’s way better than he is… a bit like putting Ferrari badges and a clip-on-bad-boy exhaust on your Ford KA back in the day. But I think I’d be a touch horrified if we dropped that much of a non-existent budget on him. It doesn’t feel clever, it doesn’t feel long-term and it doesn’t look anything like value.

I was hoping we’d be looking at making smarter buys. It is absolutely no coincidence we’re now being linked with Malcolm of Barcelona. We were in for him when the choice was him or Auba, Raul is apparently a huge fan of Malcolm, and the player kind of fits the bill. He’s a talent, he’s found himself on the outside at Barca, and Raul probably smokes cigars with his agent.

Would make sense as well… because he’d cost less and likely has a higher ceiling, more career longevity and Brazilians are way cool.

Right, that’s me done.

Happy Pride Day everyone! 🌈🌈🌈

Have hardly seen anything of Malcolm this season to judge.

Zaha would have literally go on strike to drive his price down so we can afford him. Doesn’t seem that type of guy to me.

Excellent post Pedro and I, of course thank him for it. Agree with everything you said about Zaha unproven and not remotely worth the money. I would be game for Malcom a possibility of a loan for him and still have money for a Ziyech would be addressing the wide positions

Kay

Yay. I got the T4ophy today.

Fuck Zaha. Lets hope we drive out mustafi ozil and xhaka. This would bring me to more joy than purchases tbh.

Marc

If Palace are trying to make it look like they played hard ball I still can’t believe it’ll end up with Zaha to Arsenal. We’d be talking about going from “we want £100 million for him” to “how about £30 million plus Iwobi”.

Can’t make up my mind whether it’s an agent playing games, pure click bait or Arsenal putting up a smoke screen while we go after other players.

Leedsgunner

If the Torreira rumours were nothing but hot air, we can shelf the new contract talks for now?

Before we offer the player a new contract he needs to put in strong performances week in and week out from the beginning of the season to the end.

If he does that, a new contract would be worth a chat. However to offer a new contract after 20 games of decent performances when he faded badly in the second half of the season is crazy.

Marc

Leeds

Are we really in contracts talks with him?

It’s silly season even more of what the media comes out with is utter bollocks than normal.

TOLI83

Torrier for a break out season done well.

I expect him to turn it on next season, silly paper talk around him and AC – nothing more.

Leedsgunner

Marc I don’t know for sure, but when AC Milan came sniffing around there were multiple reports that Arsenal launched into defensive contract talks to tie him down to us. My problem with this approach is we have many of our fringe players we are having trouble getting off our books because of their ridiculous wages… Let’s not create a similar scenario by raising Lucas’ wages too quickly too soon. The same goes for Guendouzi and our youth players breaking into the first team. By all means pay the money for those who deserve it, but not before. Personally I… Read more »

I agree if he has a good second season then we should be looking at a new contract – as you say the money has to be earned.

Any credibility in the rumour that Kronke will divert money from the new Adidas deal to his other sporting concerns in the US?

THere’s nothing we can do about this is there? Besides protest I suppose?

Sad sad days.

I’m fully with you on Torreira not getting a pay raise. Believe he’s on 70k a week. He had a poor second half of the season. I reckon he’ll be off next summer to Spain or Italy. Thomas Partey will be coming to the PL this summer or next. He has a 43m pound release clause. He’s a better fit for the PL than little Lucas.

Torreira’s agent has played a blinder. He’ll get a nice raise in the fall/winter.

vegas gooner

torreira really isn’t fit enough for the premier league. he gets knocked down easy (always has to face when he does).
we need to focus on defense and getting rid of Mustafi.

and there are much better forwards than zaha out there for much less.

No rise for torriea not until he puts in a full season and earns it. Guendouzi had 3 years left and they put his up apparently, why? Leeds I don’t think Stan can divert money, it has to come through arsenal books from Adidas. He could then take it out but that goes against the whole arsenal self sustaining route. And wouldn’t make much sense. Zaha is off the table now. Palace have to pay utd 25% sell on. The only way is if palace want to take elenney chambers and Iwobi and 30 million.

Player wants to return to Italy club offers him a new deal to convince him to stay but of course we now know that those rumours are bullshit I will say this though he’s one player we’ll definitely have to keep an eye on contract wise because he’s one of a few highly sellable assets we have.

I would ask Palace to pick 2 from Mustafi,Mhki,Elneny,Chambers and slap 30M on top to bring in Zaha.. Hell if they want all of them they could have at it..

Still absolutely prefer Ziyech though,more value for money and less baggage to boot

T

I cant see zaha being much better than iwobi.. if he was awailable for 10-20m it would make sense but I would much rather see us sign a player like malcom, depay or even ryan babel… Or give a chance for a youth player like nelson

I mean why bother spending a lot of money on someone if he isnt somehow special?

Guns of Hackney

Oh man.

I imagine Arsenal would hesitate if scarlet Johansson gave it the big “come on and jump my bones…anything goes for one night”.

We are the gayest and most impotent club in world football.

LA Rams are worth over 3 billion dollars according to Forbes that’s more than Arsenal and by the looks of it they’ve got better sponsors than us. The idea that he would need to divert the Adidas money to one of his teams in America is borderline ret@rded. Where’d you hear it from Leeds? Give us a link I need to make fun of someone on Twitter

Ryan Babel, what is this 2009?

Up 4 grabs now

Victorious,
It’s in palaces interest to take players rather than cash because of the sell on clause to utd.
They just got 50 million off utd so don’t need the cash.
Chambers, jenkinson, elneney, Iwobi. And Miki. Straight swap.
Palace is about there level.

Leeds
The NFL is a money making league, Kroenke doesn’t need to tale money out of Arsenal to fund his LA business.
A new NFL license is worth as much or even more than Arsenal.
I expected more from you to be honest.

Dissenter

Arsenal is not Kroenke’s biggest sporting asset. I know that may be offensive to some.
There would be a long line of banks willing to fund an NFL related project, more so in a city like LA. It’s a win-win for the bank because of the publicity and that it’s a secure business. Kroenke didn’t even try to woo public funds for his stadium project.

Ryan babel signed for Galatasaray yesterday! Lol.

Dissenter

This Zaha-mania needs to cool off.
We can get three quality players for the £80 million being requested for.

WengerEagle

Player and cash swap for Zaha could work.

As grabs alluded to, it’s more in their interest as opposed to a straight up cash deal of which Utd stand to take 25% of the proceeds.

Chambers and Kolasinac probably the two players that they’d soonest take out of the crap pack.

Dissenter

I also hate the idea that we will essentially be paying Unuited through the back door if we stumped up a king’s ransom for Zaha.

WengerEagle

Anything north of 50m for Zaha and we’d be foolish not to pull the plug and look elsewhere.

Wouldn’t get near Liverpool or City’s line ups and that’s the kind of player we should be looking at for the fees being talked about here.

Victorious

Up4

Have to agree with you,The 25% of any fee owed to United must be such a downer for them and I think that’s probably what gives us the hope we can reach a deal through players swap

Weren’t they formally interested in Chambers,I mean it could be enticing for all parties involved, we get shot of some absolute deadwoods, Palace get a few players in return,Zaha gets his dream move and we all live happily ever after.

Whats your take on Ziyech?

Marc

Surely any sell on clause would have some clause that covered player swaps plus money?

I mean if not the lawyers for ManU have fucked up.

Marc

WE

Agree – while City have spent fortunes on transfers they haven’t up to now paid that much over £50 million for an player.

Victorious

Palace are nuts though, 100M for Zaha?Lol,I mean Sane who is twice the player is a subject of 80M bid or thereabout from Bayern

I honestly think Palace are taking the piss with that valuation and also Bayern are hoping to mug off city there for Sane if they can pull it off

Up 4 grabs now

Victorious,

Ziyech, I like and a lot cheaper option than Zaha. If money really is tight, we should go that way.

Still think shifting the dead wood is the problem, but like I said palace can take a few off us and would probably improve them.

Marc not a lot utd can do unless they want to take mustafi left leg as payment. You never know he might play better like that!

And let’s be honest xhaka already plays like a headless chicken!

Marc

Victorious

Give a player an English passport and suddenly they’re worth closer to the combined value of Messi and Ronaldo than they are to an actual representation of their talent.

I have a feeling that if we manage to move on some of the players we won’t to lose it’ll happen quite late in the window.

How that affects our spending who knows.

englandsbest

‘I was hoping we’d be looking at making smarter buys’ Exactly right. From what we are hearing, Raul and Emery seem like run-of-the-mill people, and what Arsenal needs are imaginative guys. Of course, so far it’s just rumours, rumours, rumours. When it comes to defenders we want ones who can defend, not attack. Yes, it’s nice to have one who can do both (like Ashley), but given the choice, we need ones who can defend. You can pick up full-backs who can do that for small money, the easiest positions to play on the football pitch. Spending the £25m on… Read more »

Marko

Spending the £25m on a proper winger seems more imaginative. Better still, two wingers. They would have a more potent defensive effect than over-lapping fullbacks. As for the defence as a whole, why not take a leaf out GG’s book and buy a ready-made one from the lower divisions. You could buy a whole set for that £25m.

Well done in the cricket England.

Marc 35-50m seems to be the sweet spot for Citeh’s purchases on the continent, even paid that for Sterling although that was in 2015. That fee gets you a very good player with the potential to be world class abroad, in the PL it gets you someone like Zaha who while a top 5-10 wideman in the PL is unlikely at this stage to kick onto much greater things. Guys like Neres, Chiesa, Guedes, Malcom, Lozano, Depay, Pepe, Lemar are all gettable players in that price range. And are just as good/have a higher ceiling than Zaha. Dortmund for the… Read more »

To state the obvious, Arsenal is worth what someone is prepared to pay. Two people wanted Arsenal, and the value of a share rose from £8000 to £30000. Had it just been just one of them, the share value would be a whole lot less.

Wasi

Pedro “When do you decide you want to be an icon in Scotland?” . This line is absolutely majestic. Love your work.And tbh would prefer ziyech/fraser over malcom until we can get him for like 20-25 . Or even Zaha if we can get him for mustafi/mkhi/chambers/elneny(any 2 ) + 20-25 mil. I beleive Iwobi should be given at least 1 more year. Maybe just maybe he can turn it on next season.

*For Zaha.

Wasi

WE
There’s no way you can get chiesa or pepe for 35-50 mil.Those 2 are potential world class talenta and will definitely cost 50-55mil+. Maybe Guedes,neres ,lozano can be bought for that amount but the likelihood of them turning into world class is pretty less than for someone like Chiesa or Pepe .
They got Brandt on the cheap because of his release clause and thorgan hazard is a 25-30 mil player at best.Though Brandt would have been an uograde for us i just cant imagine thorgan doing things he is doing in the bundesliga.

TOLI83

Depay looks to have turned a corner and is more than gettable, he’d have a point to prove now as well.

Anyone else think Dunk could do a job. I’ve got a season ticket in the North Bank, when I see him play vs us he wins everything, a proper leader and fairly quick. British and prem ready. I can see him taking a step up, only 27 – 6ft 4. In a decent team he’d do very well.

TOLI83

Forget Iwobi, no cutting edge – he won’t make the top level grade of a prem winger. Impact sub (although he doesn’t score or assists enough) at the very best.

Wasi

Toli38
Depay has become a better player sire but i think he is still too wasteful.For Dunk id say if he is available for 15-20 go after him but definitely not for 30 mil or 30 mil+.He might just become the new mustafi with the weight of the price tag.

Champagne charlie

Ziyech isn’t better value for money if he’s absolute dogshit in the prem.

Zaha and Ziyech are both 26, I feel a lot more comfortable about Zaha’s ability to adapt to Arsenal than Ziyech’s ability to adapt to Arsenal and the premier league.

Paulinho

“Ryan Babel, what is this 2009?”

He was shit in 2009 as well.

Wasi

Toli38 No cutting edge for Iwobi. The EL Final goal against Chelsea must be in your recent memory . You might also remember the countless times he has found Kola on the overlap with perfectly weighed through balls. Just needs a bit more consistency and composure you could say. And if we can buy 2 good wingers covering the left and right flank then selling Iwobi seems reasonable otherwise just keep him on for another as a rotational option to see if he has got the drive to overcome his flaws. If he does thats one up for us if… Read more »

The problem is it doesn’t matter what names people talk about with a £45 Million budget we’re going to struggle massively. Tierney, although an absolutely necessity, takes up almost half our budget straight away. We’re left with £25 Million after that deal. It looks like we’re struggling to offload the shit Wenger and Gazidis loaded into the squad, no EPL teams are interested and because of that wages become an issue because the calibre of club a Mustafi, Mkhitaryan or Ozil (just no chance of offloading that twat) could realistically end up at either do not pay those sort of… Read more »

You seriously underestimate how broke Lille and Fiorentina are if you think that they would be in a position to turn down a 50m offer for either of those players.

Lille have already had to sell their key CM man to Lyon this summer in Thiago Mendes as a N’Dombele replacement.

englandsbest

There are certain dull people who believe that everything is brand-new out on the football pitch. It isn’t, everything has been done before. All that has changed are some of the rules.

To them, overlapping fullbacks and possession football seem like natural law. This may strike them as a revelation, but they are merely current fashion. They have come and gone before, and they will do so again.

þorkell einarsson

We have a zaha namesake in Zaka, he is fast and clever, young and would be
eager to prove himself at the PL level..

TOLI83

Dunk is £20m for me. And if we can knocking he’d come. Apparently Wenger nearly singed him then pulled out last minute, unsurprisingly.

Wasi, yes I remember the goal just on a consistent basis he is wasteful and doesn’t get in great positions. He just a very average player.

Wasi

Cescappeal
Like last year i dont realistically think that our budget is 45mil. Last year too it was widely reported that we had 40 mil to spend but we actually spent about 65 .But it.might be thay of the 65 only 40 was down-payments and rest installments. Even if that is true we still might go on to spend above 45 + player sales.
Tierney deal looking about 20 mil downpayment + we have also bought martinelli for 6 mil so thats 26 off of our 45.

What you are saying is all well and good but Palace demanding 80-100 for Zaha is criminal.He is nowhere near worth that amount yet.50-60 seems reasonable amount but Palace just having sold RB with one prem season under his belt for 50 mil to a team desperate for a RB.I dont see them lowering their price for their most prized asset wanted by a team desperate for wingers.Maybe if we can do a playerS + cash deal.

We need to be careful on what we sell players for. It’s all well and good saying just take whatever we can for Mustafi £10 – £15 million but if his value on the books is £20 million then we’d be showing a loss on the accounts.

With rumoured serious losses about to hit us we can’t afford to add to them.

How fucking ironic is it that of all clubs Arsenal might be about to get fucked on FFP?

WengerEagle

Wasi .

They are shifting assets like the Jackson family, I’d be surprised to see Pepe still there in September.

And Bernadeschi was sold the same summer as Neymar was. Neymar didn’t break the market, Pogba had already been sold for silly money as had Higuain (75m for 29 year old in Serie A was unprecedented) and others.

That was a list of names that I drafted off the top of my head in 2 mins as well, I’d hope our scouting/recruitment departments would have a bit wider a scope of talent that they are mulling over.

United have pissed an incredible amount up the wall but as bleak as they are, they have better names on paper than we do.
