Transfer thread

£24m for a loan and oblig fee, that seems insanely high for a donkey

A deal is in place between Arsenal and Porto over the loan signing of defender Kiwior.

The deal includes an obligation and the total package, including the loan fee, is worth around £24m.

Kiwior’s sale is linked to Piero Hincapie’s potential arrival from Bayer Leverkusen – both positionally and financially.

Positive talks continue between Arsenal and Leverkusen for Hincapie.

Good has to be viewed against how competitive we will be.

Been trying to argue for evaluating the window when it closes and then at some point in the future.

Based on the pushback on that along with the amount of opinions on the window well before it closes I wish you luck 😉

VdV would add an option at LB or LCB in a 3.
It's all about having options and flexibility.
Spence and Udogie as attacking FBs.
VdV as a more defeny LB, with a good pass and LCB if packing the midfield.
Danso comes into a 3, but we are short then.

£15m for Akanji would be a steal

15m for a 30 year old CB that's versatile and proven at a high level, at least good, but not fantastic. Selling club seemingly happy to sell. Seems about fair?

Still think Davies has something to offer for 5 or so games a season at LB as well if really needed.

Honestly, unless we can pick up a real exciting opportunity at FB I don’t see the point in stop gaps this summer (we have those already).

Think a "stop gap" signing like that is fine. Good even. We'd struggle to get better than him as a cover/option and with some talented young CBs already here to develop no real need for another raw talent type.

I might not have been clear. I’m onboard with Akanji as he’s a pure CB and we have enough cover at LB to get by in Udogie, Spence, Davies, VDV, Gray (considering the small amount we will need to call on those last 3 in that position). I’m not onboard with Ake who would be a hybrid LB/CB and well below the standard of Akanji.
