Ugh... We're clutching at straws man. It was a disastrous season. Desperately clinging to Strootman (especially), Mertens, Toivonen and Lens, but fear all four will leave. Toivonen especially is likely to go to the PL. I've no idea who we are sniffing up atm, because there's no dough until we sell.
Adam Maher would be my dream signing, but he will likely go to fucking Ajax. If Wenger is paying attention: Maher is an examplary great Arsenal play. Steal him before Ajax does plz

of the QPR squad, suppose Arsenal could most use that midfielder rtc loved (Diakité?) but the one I really liked was Alejandro Faurlín. Didn't follow him in Serie A but if he came back from that injury fully, I thought he was a very good passing midfielder. Just as long as the awes Armand Traore doesn't return.

Whats going to go down with wigan's bigger names? Surely not beyond the realms of possibility that they talk a good-ish number into staying for a crack at europe and the hope of going straight back up. Money will obvs be an issue, but I don't think they have many players on bigotry

There'll be a big bunfight over Callum McManaman probably, no idea where will be the first stop on his inevitable route to becoming the new Adam Johnson.
― Matt DC, Monday, 20 May 2013 12:42 (eleven years ago) link
Man city would be a start. Though perhaps moving to citeh won't be such a dead end for wingers now that Mancini has gone and they might actually be in with a chance ofgetting played.
Mcmanaman feels like a vaguely Liverpool-ish sort of player, but they've got thing elsewhere that need fixing.
Kone and McCarthy have got to be on their way out of Wigan though. Kone would be fun at everton I reckon, though it won't happen
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 20 May 2013 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
Liverpool would be quite amusing, as if having gone over a decade without any good young wingers they suddenly start trying to stockpile every single one that becomes available. But he'd probably actually develop in a sensible way under Rodgers, ditto under Laudrup. The worst case scenario would be Newcastle or West Ham or somewhere.

To relate that type of mindset to what's going on at United now - my sense is that what Moyes is trying to do is almost give some players the opportunity to play themselves out of the club. That's my instinct - you look back at the cataclysmic performance, or non-performance, that Ashley Young gave in the Derby. It looked that he didn't have a future. I was also, like many, amazed that he played Anderson. He just simply is not a Manchester United player.

― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Saturday, 5 October 2013 09:27 (ten years ago) link
Nothin like flawless, just that he spent very little on a lot if good players, and tended to keep them around. The dozens he spent nothing on and didnt make it could be moved on no fuss. The few big signings that didnt work could be balanced maybe against the guys he developed. But id not say his transfer record was better than good.

Turan has now committed to the club until 2017, and has spoken of his personal joy at remaining with Atletico, where he says he feels part of a family at the club.
“I am delighted to have signed a contract extension with Atletico Madrid. I feel like I’m part of a family here,” he said.
However, his agent has hinted that the Premier League is still on the agenda for Turan, whose signing of a new contract has seen his buy-0ut clause with the club rise to over £30m, which may be a ploy simply to make more money out of his sale if top English clubs come calling for the Turkish international again.
“Arsenal and Liverpool? A destination in the Premier League would be to the liking of the player and I can confirm there are clubs interested, like the two mentioned,” his agent said.
