I've seen several sources linking us to him. Thoughts?

Supposedly we would offer Denayer + ££

even though Arsenal have sold us players before I can't see this happening unless we offer stupid money.

Phips, you wouldn't by any chance be....no wait, nevermind....you couldn't be.…forget I said anything.

Would absolutely love him and he stinks of a Pep player, but I can't see Arsenal letting him go. He'll end up going back to Barca at some point.

Not even close to going to happen. Next rumour please

What's his contract situation? It's a bit of a persistant rumour this one. I'm sure it would be a straight fee though :-)

Yes, but no.

My thoughts too. Him or similar is prob one of the priorities for me Sagna isnt good enough going forward and zaba is zaba.

Wishful thinking. The cost will be huge and I think he would really only leave, or Arsenal sell, to Barca right now.

wouldnt swap with Denayer

Love him at city but won't happen.

A straight swap? You actually wouldn't swap him for Denayer?!

At the risk of upsetting everybody again - that's what I call a good deal!!

For £10+m I'd let Denayer go regardless of whether or not we got Bellerin. At best he will be a squad player and we will have more of those coming through to replace him in the next few years and £10m is a good price. Put it towards a bona fide first team player

Will we?

I'd take Bellerin now unless Maffeo is ready this season. Zabs is off perhaps and Sagna will hit a decline sooner or later, although I have to be thinking he has another season in him at least.

Not saying we will have a top notch full back. More that we are likely to have a Denayer equivalent, ie a squad player. Someone who is good enough to fill in and help with rotation but not a first choice. If we do nurture a top class full back then brilliant, that's a bonus

nope, mate.
I concede it s a borderline opinion, but i m convinced Denayer has much more potential to be nurtured upon Pep.
also agree with general point made by nottsblue: key issues are others, starting from a world class pairs of CB, or at least one (Bonucci, since option a has failed) to be lined with the "fingers crossed on" Vinnie resurrection.

Why exactly?

I'd swap the two in a heartbeat! Bellerin is class.
