Morning,
Looks like Gelson Martins, William Carvalho and Bruno Fernandes have demanded to be released from their contracts under the premise of their work place not being safe.
I'm not sure of the entire story, but from what I gather Sporting were on course for a pretty good season but at the first slight hiccup their chairman started getting on the players back, sending them weird messages. This resulted in the players putting something on social media, which then led to a punishment for senior players/management from the chairman.
Then after a bad result, a bunch of ultras got into the clubs training ground and attacked the players, with rumours that the chairman was behind the attack.
The three may stay if the chairman leaves, but I have no idea how much chance there is of that happening.
What do you make of the situation? Would you take any at your club? Huge amount of money for Sporting to lose.
Arsenal fans, how do you feel that we might be going to be able to get the 'modern day Gervinho' on a free? Sad we're getting him at all? Happy it could have no fee?

Looks like Martins has been released from his contract. Heavily linked with Arsenal who had two bids (both 35m euros ) rejected by Sporting.
Guessing he's our brand new spanking wide forward.
Really don't want him. Love child of Gervinho and Iwobi.

Not bad mate, just trying to find balance between catching up with people but still saving some money for the next trip.
Yourself?

They would all improve Arsenal. Would be a great coup signing all three.
