How much would Pedro cost from Barca?

Makeweight in the Suarez deal?

They wanted to keep Pedro. That's why Sanchez was for sale.

I'd say they would sell him to us for £74m

Nuri Sahin · 10-07-2014 08:29PM

Feck off to Pedro!

LeBron is signing for us very shortly.

Great signing for Arsenal, I hope we can start to wrap our deals up.

With Suarez's ban being upheld I wonder if Barca will still come on for him.

They will, Arsenal just gave them more than half the money they need to buy him.

Nah didn't mean money or anything, would just be interesting to have some sort of forfeit or something, we can track the season then on the superthread.

Just a friendly thing, to be honest I agree with you more than most, I think Giroud will be closer to Sturridge next year because I think he'll get a lot of chances in that lineup and I don't expect Liverpool to score as many goals as last year

Overall I'd be taking Sturridge every day of the week over Giroud, not even close. And I expect him to get more goals + assists than him next season too....just not as much of a gap as last season

Vicxas · 10-07-2014 08:33PM

So, with Sanchez off we have:

Griezman
Markovic
Bony

Could we realistically land all them?

Rumours that Mesut Ozil may be available. Probably been the best player at the World Cup, and one of the most impressive in Europe over the season. Would be a big upgrade on Suarez.

Pearce said we are likely to use the Suarez money on 3 £20 million signings rather than one massive one. On that basis the above three are gettable.

I don't recall us being linked with Griezman.

NukaCola · 10-07-2014 08:40PM

3 £20m players is an awful idea when your club considers Lallana a £20m+ player........

YouTookMyName · 10-07-2014 08:42PM

Liverpool - Suarez.
Arsenal + Sanchez.

Time for Rodgers and the committee to step up, big time.

Think we will struggle for 4th this season to be honest.

I think if you look through the squad, its still quite thin. There is a responsibility to build a competent squad for the year ahead.

Also it is extremely difficult to buy the type of player fans crave. Reus, Benzema etc are not likely to come here.

We'll keep him thanks. We like to add world class players these days. Selling them wasn't working out.

Especially when they pay £16m for him.

For god's sake 10 days into the transfer window and everyones moaning. Haven't even gotten the Suarez money and people complaining that we're not spending it.

I agree. However Origi, Markovic, Lallana, Lambert and Can (if all are got) comes in at around 70m approx and bulks up the squad. Thats before any outs. Buying more filler after they have been signed would be a bad move. Quality and quantity etc.

Like Liverpool then. Sort of poetic eh?

Any particular reason you chose that part? I also mentioned him being available for transfer, being one the most impressive players in Europe last season, and being a big upgrade on Suarez.

A WF isn't going to replace Suarez. We need a striker who scores goals and to cover / compete with Sturridge.

How can you say we don't need Bony with Lambert in the team?

Sturridge, Lambert and Borini as a strikeforce is a joke TBH.

Lambert and Borini are cover / cup players.

Looks like we are signing Markovic so that is our WF player. We will have plenty of players capable of playing in that position now.

I dobt know what your talking about to be honest.I never said we should have strikeforce of borini, sturridge and Lambert.I was stating we badly need a Sanchez WF type player to replace suarez .a player with trickery and pace that can press defenders just like Suarez did. Bony is not that.Lambert can do same kind job that bony is all I'm saying.

If you think a strikeforce of Lambert, sturridge and borini is a joke but by adding bony is becomes sufficient to press on in the league and compete in the CL then that's just ridiculous.that is a huge downgrade in what we had last season,devoid of pace and trickery bar sturridge.

Lovren, Moreno and a striker possibly another £60 million. Thats £130 million spent this summer. That's as much as you could hope for really.

I'm an Arsenal fan dude and now with Sanchez on board there's no way way Wenger will allow Ozil to leave. The two of them linking up alone is frightening! Throw in Ramsay, Walcott, Rosicky and Cazorla and it's out of this world!

£23m. If your going to say £16m + add on's please give me a link, also, add-ons will probably be paid unless they involve stupid stuff.

jack747 · 10-07-2014 08:57PM

Nearly go as far as saying someone should nearly start doing inquests on these failed transfer dealings at this stage. Its just not good enough, keeps on happening.
I think I remember Henry himself saying we needed to make champions league to attract the better players. There seems to be an attitude from Ayre of 'ah sure we tried'. With luis gone Rodgers is gonna have to be backed big time or we're facing europa league. Surely he deserves full control of who he wants in and get rid of that panel. There's no way he looked at Cissokho and said i'll buy him.
