I read that they are going back to their owner asking for more. They're trying buy Fraser, Tierney and Zaha for £40million! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day doesn't go by where the media doesn't say that Napoli are preparing a bid, but they never have. I think it's Tierney's agent trying to prompt Arsenal into making a move. Arsenal are about to bid £22m. I don't understand why Arsenal are dragging their feet on this one. What next, are they going to eventually offer £24, 999,999.99m? Arsenal made £140m last season and yet they're quibbling over £5m. Bloody hell. A new twist is that Real Madrid's Marcelo is available. If they can get him for £25m-£50m they'll probably opt for him over Tierney. Marcel is great, but he's not a long term investment like Tierney. No way Arsenal would make money selling him on in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go back and check it if I were you. Since when is twenty-four million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine pence a world record? 2003 called, they want their world transfer fee record back.

The_Dark_Knight Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 It'll also be worth keeping an eye on Jack Harper. Getafe done brilliantly last season. With any luck Harper can establish himself, hopefully in the first 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they bought Marcelo it would make more sense as Arsenal usually play 3 at the back. Not that I'm saying Tierney couldn't play wing-back. 2 hours ago, adamntg said: I'd be the one doing the checking if I were you. Checked. I'm comfortable with it.

No doubt he would move for more if he was based down south or just english. Marcelo is a better player but Tierney has age and a lot of potential.

Marcelo is a better player but Tierney has age and a lot of potential. They dont want to spend cash though so fuck knows what will happen Definitely better than Tierney, but that's no insult as Marcelo is better than most left backs. To be honest, Arsenal are pretty much the last top 6 EPL team that we wanted him linked to as they're penny pitchers. If Chelsea weren't banned from buying players for the next two windows I think they may have came in for him. I don't think Tierney will move this summer.

If the Napoli links are legit i would love him to go there, would be a great learning experience for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrniaboc Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 For a cash-strapped club, shelling out massive amounts of cash on a brilliant-but-ageing player rather than a young, very talented player would be an enormously bad business decision.

Yeah, me, too. The more players we have in Italy and Spain, the better. I'd rather he joined Napoli than Arsenal. The more days that pass the more I doubt Arsenal's transfer muscle.

I'm not saying he's a bad player however the term "world class" gets branded about all too easily now. Last season at Real Madrid he got his arse handed to him on a number of occasions.
