Bbc saying Batshuayi has rejected us

David Ornstein @bbcsport_david
Merry-go-round: Giroud was lined up to replace Aubameyang at Dortmund then got offer from Chelsea & was keen, so Dortmund turned to Batshuayi. But Chelsea baulked at Giroud fee so discussed Batshuayi/Llorente swap with Spurs, which nobody agreed on. Deadlock#AFC#BVB#CFCTHFC

Well aint this a proper gang bang.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Ornstein has just said us and Chelsea were talking about swapping Bat and Llorente but Bat rejected as he didn't want to be back up. Maybe we have tonight convinced him?

And there is our problem in a nutshell. No quality young striker is gonna want to sign for us knowing they will only be back up to the best number 9 in the world

 

[Duskwen]

If they sign Llorente the bellend will be back up there

I'd presume if Llorente goes Bats is also off somewhere, most likely Dortmund

This is classic

My head is spinning.

I'm not to bothered about getting Bats. It's be nice but it'd be even better if we scuppered Arsenal's PEA deal.

 

[SpartanSpur]

If Batshuayi turns us down then unfortunately only Dortmund makes sense for him, which frees Aubameyang to move.

But then we won’t sell Llorente to Chelsea and Chelsea don’t want to pay the asking price for Giroud

 

[JayB]

Kicker are reporting that Conte prefers Llorente to Giroud. Hopefully we wouldn't go for that without demanding Batshuayi in return, as it would otherwise enable PEA's move to Arsenal to go through.

I can not even begin to express how hilarious it would be if the Aubameyang deal fell through because we signed Batshuayi...

Arsenal will be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't let Giroud join Chelsea, that'll mean they won't get aubamayang.

 

[philll]

Jesus, does anyone actually reply seriously to Ornstein's tweets any more?

I agree.

The only solution is to sell Kane to Madrid, get batman in as first choice and no PEA for arsenal.

And then even in our failure to hold onto potentially best ever player there will be an echo of glory... Bill Nic would be proud

Dortmund wants Giroud so that frees up PEA.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Hmm so Arsenal are going to have to sell Giroud dirt cheap to force the Aubameyang deal through.

This is mad haha.

If Conte prefers Llorente maybe we can dangle him until the last minute.

Would be decent if we could convince Batshauyi but makes sense not swapping one for another when he'd not even get cup games.

Apparently Giroud's wife doesn't fancy going to Dortmund - she wants to stay in London and is holding up that deal

 

[Duskwen]

Giroud doesn't want Dortmund though, he wants London

So if we get a Llorente/Bats swap, Arsenal gets Auba? Pass. 1000% pass.

I think the answer is that we develop a very young striker and otherwise rely on players like Son (and possible add to him) who can play up front or in AM

That way we keep the squad happy and have options

But Giroud wants to stay in London.
