Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to not replacing him. We've been playing Martial and Rashford up front preseason and I'd like to see Greenwood get minutes this season. I'd rather we signed a midfielder.

No I agree we have plenty of strikers. We need an attacking midfield. Bruno Fernandes would be perfect

Looks like Luiz is definitely coming, along with Tierney.

Chelsea will no doubt drag their heels and make sure it doesn't get done in time. I can't see them letting their first choice CB join a direct rival, especially with the ban.

The Luiz deal has come out of nowhere. I take it he played under Emery at PSG?

Yep, and tbh, I don’t think they got on too well, so this is surprising to say the least.

Must be to do with the Edu connection. He is an improvement on Mustafi.

Pretty sure Luiz left the summer Unai joined PSG

Emery liked luiz

Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery has admitted he didn t want defender David Luiz to leave the club as the French champions prepare to host Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 on Friday.

"I told him that I didn t want him to go and that he was important. But if he is not happy and he thinks it s better to leave, I respect that," Emery told RMC radio this week.

Oh ok, I stand erected.

BaZ87 · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:14

Very Arsenal to sign a defender that's not very good at defending.

sneakysnail · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:15

Cant see luiz going to Arsenal honestly. Don't think they have the money to throw at Chelsea to force a sale and Luiz has 2 years left on his deal. Chelsea will just tell him to bugger off and he'll probably fall back in line to save his career.

Did I read correctly earlier that Jason Puncheon is moving to Paphos FC, a bottom half of the table club in the Cypriot league?

... Just... What?

I know he might not have had interest from Premier League teams but.... What?

Lovely place to live though, while your earning a nice few quid.

Yep lovely place.

The_One · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:40

Well even better than that Julian JOachim has signed for Europa Point F.C in Gibraltar

He's 44 and retired years ago!

Kenai · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:45

It surprised me, given the league average yearly wage is (noticeably) lower than the average Premier League weekly wage.

That's a big pay cut even if it is nice place

Yas786 · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:45

Ermmm David Luiz??? Like seriously WTF?? :eek:

lol.

Yeh not sure about that signing in all honesty. He’s a calamity but much better than Mustafi I guess lol.

Looks like Tierney is on his way as well. About time that was done and dusted.

explicit4u · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:50

Tierny medical tonight and announcement tomorrow from multiple sources, Tierny and Luiz seem to be our final bits of business with one or two players possibly heading out the door too. Can't really complain, that's the best window we've had in ages.

The_One · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:56

Tierney holding luiz bellerin

Robbo · 7 Aug 2019 at 20:56

Selling Lukaku without further signings just seems crazy to me. I hope something is in the pipeline.
