JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 What if ESR actually wants TOO much money? To be fair, I don't think it's good practice to be putting 20 year olds on stupid wages unless they are prodigious types, and even then, you have to be careful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rashica transfer went right up to the wire whereas this one will be concluded this week one way or another. (IMO) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see why a club like Arsenal would have a certain wage structure, they churn out young players regularly most of whom after showing early promise turn out to be lower PL fodder, so if they suddenly pay ESL £100k a week when he is 20 then it means agents try and hold the club ransom in future years for the next crop of youngsters, most who will end up utter pants like Iwobi rather than ESL or Saka. Whereas we can just identify Emile as our first choice signing and go all in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get a grip here. We are unlikely to attract an Arsenal youngster who has played 40 professional games, and that's a team on a downward spiral. If the rumoured fall out with Brenda is true then that's possibly one reason. We also have every chance of attracting an Arsenal youngster given we are a team on an upward spiral.

Chill out ! - you want the BBC closed down because they are speculating on Grealish to Man City ???? Jesus Boris has really done a number on you. I think he makes a valid point on areas outside of football. On a football front, it's been lazy journalism across the board. You only have to witness the pundits in the BBC studio during recent England games to see the biased bullshit wankfests that also take place. @DaveAV1 has a point and you're getting yourself all bent out of shape due to someone else's opinion on a forum. If Boris has done a number on anyone it would appear to be you given your response. Edited July 5, 2021 by AvfcRigo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was mental to see how much we have grown and caught up. We actually aren't even that far away from arsenal anymore. EDIT: Will need to try and find that list again, was posted on FB.

pete101 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 If we can get a player of this calibre, you have to give it to our owner's , the money they spent improving training facility , top academy of young talent and everything around the club that no doubt players are taking notice of if they are linked to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 No-one knows how this will end, right now. Arsenal's hierarchy will be aware of how much face they will lose if he joins us and it's perceived to be on the cheap. They could react by just going nuts. We clearly want the guy, but not at any price - so there will come a point when we stop pushing, and leave Arsenal with the resulting problems. There is a genuine rumble of noise around this one, making me feel there is something there - its feels more real than the Grealish noise, but that could be my claret and blue bubble. Guarantee if he stays there - the **** will score against us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Imagine being the finance director at Arsenal, seeing a big gaping £500m hole in the books then having a 20 year old with bags of potential but without the name recognition banging on the door asking for an £80k a week over 5 years. Then Villa rock up with a big sack with “swag” written on it containing £35m in cash and a contract for the kid, as well as a ‘guaranteed’ spot in the first XI next to his hero. When viewed through the lens of reality, this would hardly be the most surprising transfer in football history, massive statement or not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
