Sam Johnstone came from Utd, and he had proven premier league class.  

How do you come to the conclusion? He'd never played a game in the Premiership when WBA signed him.

Class act, anyone can see that.  Thats why he's  a proper premier league goalie and perhaps a future england goalie.  Can you not see the difference in their gamea? And Sam is an Euxton lad too....??

Doesnt sound promising regarding player contracts. From the team last Saturday, Rankin Costello, Williams, Bell, all 3 midfielders and all 3 subs have a year left. The remaining 5 have 2 years left. Then with Armstrong and Lenihan, theres minimal power in that if they go into their last year and wed have to sell them if they didnt renew. Im not sure how many assets we actually have.

He's hasn't looked it yet, so far in the Premiership he's let in 13 goals in 3 games. I wasn't a Raya fan and was pleased with £3 Million for him but equally I do not think that Johnstone is all that great either.

Its not my suggestion he was their target and chose Brentford instead.  That's your assertion.

No Its multiple press publications/agencies assertion.

If we don't sign a left back and at least one other player, this window can't be classed as anything but poor.

I think the 3 we've signed so far are excellent signings.

I wonder if we are gaming QPR a bit on Ryan Manning, getting them to lower the price?

[simongarnerisgod]

it`s very dangerous to go into the season without a decent left back,be it loan or transfer,tony needs to get one in,it`ll come back to haunt us if we don`t

We've signed 2.  Dolan wasn't signed for the first team. 

Ayala not kicked a ball yet. Decent on paper though.  Early days for Kaminski. 

We were expecting  4-5 minimum.

Oh 8 games in the Premier League is Premier League Class pull the other one... And the evidence is all over google type "David Raya Arsenal bid" 100's of websites offering evidence Arsenal had bids for Raya. can you post evidence that Arsenal were never interested in Raya...

I am not trying to be annoying or anything but you CAN’T prove something thats negative.

Once at work, I was asked to prove a negative claim so my maneger told the other party to prove that they are not Mickey Mouse first.

The window hasn't shut yet and we've signed 3 good 'uns. These are the facts?

Well we've signed 5 if you're including under 23 signings.  What ever suits your argument?

I didn't ask him to prove anything, I asked for his evidence that Arsenal were not interested in Raya, evidence and proof are not the same thing.

I think Raya would be a Arsenal player if they were interested,  don't you?

No not at all, by the same logic Sancho should be a United player... he isn't though is he!

Messi publicly stated his desire to leave Barcelona... where is he again?

Thought the purpose of evidence is to prove something. Sorry i am not fluent in English

It is used to serve to prove/disprove an alleged "Fact" but evidence alone is not enough to prove/disprove anything, as evidence can be contradictory. But this is a transfer thread so lets not go off topic here and open a whole can of worms... ?

Are you comparing the Sancho situation to.David Raya?.  There is evidence of multiple bids from utd.  Again, where is your evidence that Raya turned Arsenal down? Or that they even made a bid?

Again do a search on google the same people/publications reporting the bids for Sancho have reported the Arsenal bids for Raya. Stop being cantankerous. Nobody has said Raya turned Arsenal down however it has been widely reported Brentford turned down offers from Arsenal.

But it hasn't tho. to put in place such an operation takes time and money. The operation only just started in the last 12 months and when we appointed Bruno Reis as our Chief European Scout to run the scouting Europe Operation. People like yourself expect instant results instead of understanding that this European Scouting Network is here for the long term future of the club. 

Sorry Chaddy, what experience in professional football do you have to have this opinion? 

Or is this just your opinion?

Where is this evidence of multiple bids from Utd? So now the anti-Raya brigade are trying to say that this whole transfer saga was made up so that it fits their own opinions?

[philipl]

Clearly something went on with Raya given the way he dropped out of the squad for a League match then got a new contract.
