A worry that many reporting Raphinha to Arsenal for sub £50m. His 'dream' was Barcelona and that shouldn't have happened for less than £60m. Selling in division should not be less than £65m.

Also Kalvin to City seems to be getting more and more traction.

Wouldn't mind a pair of City prospects in Palmer and McAtee or Delap to help that through with some cash if it seems nailed on.

Good to see us moving for targets at rb, cm, and CAM. Still want that experienced reserve keeper, probably another cm, a lb, and a Striker.

The above is only 'net ins' so if as expected Raph and possibly Phillips leave add replacements for them (unless replacements come in as immediate part-exchanges) .

Ealing - the figures quoted in articles re Arsenal’s interest in Raphinha will just be guesswork and partly based on the fictional info SPORT kept on churning out while trying to help finesse a budget transfer to their beloved but brassic Barca. Phil Hay has previously said Leeds want £60-70m for the lad, and nothing has happened materially since then to make the Club reduce that figure.

Old Fabrizio Romano is now claiming the fee for Raphinha is expected to be £65/ £75m
I’d accept smith Rowe and £50m ?.

EalingBkb he said he want to play for a better club yep that’s right Leeds give him that if he thinks they are that then he can go but only if the asking price is higher that that we would have gone to Barca,

Sweaty ? ESR is a terrific player. I can see Raph ending up at Chavs, not Goons.

I’d accept Rowe and 30-35 million. Unfortunately can’t see Arsenal selling the lad.

Very good mate of mine is a gooner he feels Arsenal would be another stepping stone for him, and he can't see them giving us smith rowe,

I think Raph just wants to go to a club who are showing ambition. This is one of the results of our failure to demonstrate any ambition whatsoever last season and a measure of Raphs belief that we will be showing any serious ambition this year.

If anyone is prepared to cough up 70 plus Mil up front, they’ve got their man. If Arsenal pay 70 Mil for a winger, I’m a monkey’s uncle. They desperately need a 20/ 25 goal scoring striker, that’s where their big money is going if they won’t to progress. Nketiah is not the man now, maybe in the future?
As Clu said, just media hot air.

Spot on Alf : much more ambition and far better players recruited last season could have led to Raph staying longer.

Baz Realistically was never going to happen with Radz decision to sell.

Also why would he go to Arsenal, it’s a given that Raph would want to be involved with CL football. Arsenal are being used as the stick up up the bum to get Barcelona moving and create the funds necessary. They have to sell players, quickly.

Totally agree Alf/ baz, said we needed to build a squad around raphi after coming 9th.
