Ones that would have at least an outside chance of agreeing to return and accept our wages. Clyne? Wanyama? Cork? Schneiderlin? JRod? Walcott? Chambers? Others?

Nordic Saint Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 Chambers would walk into our side are RB - £15m Would take Wanyama too, Hojbjerg has been shocking this season - £10m People are dreaming if they think we could get an improving 24-year-old England international, who plays for one of the Big Six, for less than £30 million, not that Arsenal would sell him anyway. He is back in their first team and they haven't lost a single game he's played in this season. Football London: " His appearance at right-back at Old Trafford indicates he is already ahead of Ainsley Maitland-Niles in that position but the impressive way he rose to the challenge posed by Daniel James might heighten his case to play elsewhere."

HarvSFC Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 Bellerin will take Chambers' place at RB when he returns. He's not that good. He got relegated with Fulham and Middlesbrough and he'd be relegated with us if he was the quality of player we were targeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 Still annoyed we lost Cork. Would have him back in an instant. Equally Chambers move was too early to arsenal & set back his career trajectory. Seems to be playing better for Arsenal this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 None, none of them are good enough. The only ex players that I'd want are ones we would never get like Bale, Van Dijk and Mane. Maybe Shaw. Most of the rest have just gone downhill. You could say Tadic has had a renaissance, but he was decidedly average for two years for us, and is playing in a much easier league. Obviously the change of surroundings has helped him so no guarantee he would replicate that form. Chambers is only playing for Arsenal because Bellerin is injured and they have no real proper right full back to fill in for him. Maitland-Niles is midfielder and Chambers is some sort of in-between players that is too slow for full back, too error prone and not strong enough for centre-back and not good enough technically for midfield.

Cork massively overrated, always has been for some reason. Walcott past it, one trick pony. Tadic, shaw, Mane, VvD, ox etc all unrealistic Yup he is still playing - at Shandong Luneng along with Marouane Fellani. Still rattling them in the back of the net at a prolific rate, seems to be maturing with age too 16 in 32 last year - 24 in 32 this year. Given his age we got good money for him, and far play to him pocketing £50m + in wages since he left, ain't going to see him go poor in his old age. My daughter has been following him on social media since he left - seems to have a very very nice life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 4 October, 2019 Share Posted 4 October, 2019 Clyne - would rather give Valery a chance to develop Wanyama - sounds like injuries have taken their toll Cork - average Schneiderlin - on one hand feel like he could still do well here, but at 29 I'm not sure we'd need to take a risk on that. Maybe for a small fee and use him in rotation JRod - he was poor after his injury, maybe a change of scene helped him a little, but still don't think he's great anymore Walcott - wouldn't say no in a cut price deal but doesn't bring enough to the table to warrant a big fee Chambers - still potential to be a decent player but think the fee Arsenal wouldn't be worth it. Maybe £10m - £12m Tadic - miss him but that ship has sailed, he's too good for us now (people still complaining that was ineffective for us...) Pelle - could probably still be useful but not worth a fee. Would be nice to see his handsome face again though, could even be enough to tempt my wife to a game Lallana - if he wasn't so injury prone could still be effective. But he is, so it's a no Lovren - not a chance Chamberlain - obviously unrealistic but he would have been better going to a poorer team and playing more, even if it wasn't us, when he left Arsenal So in summary: Schneiderlin on a cheap deal is the only one I think would be both worth it and possible, but even that is questionable.

Crab Lungs Posted 4 October, 2019 Share Posted 4 October, 2019 Cork was excellent and would improve the team no-end over the sh1te we have now. It was just unfortunate that he had the likes of Schneiderlin, Wanyama in front of him. Lallana wouldn't be a bad shout but it really would depend on exactly how much - £10m tops would be probably be fair... it's not as if we'd be buying him for pace, more for guile. Wanyama - huge yes, considering we have only one DM with the turning circle of a dreadnought (and he's our best midfielder) and the fact we have the worst collection of centre-halves since Souness started a collection with Boumsong and Bramble at Newcastle. Pelle, Tadic. Nah, boo them both. Rubbish mate. Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
