Don’t know anything about this kid but would be great to get one over Arsenal. Throw them N’Koudou to sweeten the deal

Add Jansen and we have a deal

It would be interesting to prove we are now held in higher regard than Arsenal. It was only a few seasons ago that players would choose Arsenal over us.

We should also hijack their bid for Kieran Tierney. Buy him and loan him back to Celtic unless we ship out Rose or Davis. If KWP is not going to play a lot this year then we should send him on loan too. Celtic need a right back.

Although it's rumoured Arsenal don't have much of a transfer budget, hence them going for a number of young 'promising' players, I can imagine they'll still have a higher salary bracket than what we might offer just so they can get afew players in.

I don't doubt we'd be a more attractive proposition though for many players, stadium, training ground, Poch, progress over last few years is all a massive bonus compared to their gradual slide...

Can't see Levy putting his hand in his pocket unless he's got himself a dead cert winner.
Let's see if he finds anyone who fits the bill this window

Don't know anything about this player in specific, but right sort of player. We need more CBs.

“Levy would be happy to pay 28m” for an 18 year old I’m calling bullshit

Footballers are fickle. It was only a couple of seasons ago, we were being chosen over Liverpool! The pendelum goes back and forth.
