Buendia at 33m has experience and stats and performances to back it up. Ollie Watkins @ 32m was top goal scorer in the Championship. Obviously I trust our recruitment but for 35m you could get some very good players. He is already a very good player and will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im dying to know what the hell is going on behind the scenes on this one that is making us so confident. Also, if we really were just spending the Grealish money, surely we’d just knock their socks off with an offer they couldn’t refuse, not these tiny increments. My view is that Smith rowe must be interested in talking to us, and that we might believe arsenal need an up-front cash injection to get their summer transfer plans rolling. Anything else doesn't make a great deal of sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I trust our recruitment but for 35m you could get some very good players. I keep thinking the same, I am also concerned by these reports of us yoyo'in back n forth with bids. What makes this lad so special that we keep persisting like this? Tell me he's better than Grealish and I'd understand, but if this was the case then he'd be playing every game for arsenal wouldn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else doesn't make a great deal of sense. Villa are the more exciting team right now. There is so much negative energy and doubt at Arsenal. Unconvincing manager. Despised owner. Angsty supporters. Beaten to Buendia. Sold Martinez. Massive debt. It would be a very smart move for ESL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 We still need a replacement for Barkley if Buendia is going to more take over all Traore's minutes on the right from last season. Given Trez won't be seen until 2022 we're down on the final three options we had from last September so if you want a serious cup run this year we need a bigger squad and one with reserves DS will actually use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Dave-R said: It's getting rather stupid now if these bids are right. Arsenal are not going to give him up are they? I think it's obvious to Arsenal that we want the lad and they will hold out again and again. If they do somehow give in third time I can see the papers coming out with the title of "Third time Lucky" or " If you don't succeed try, try and try again" We should give up because to Arsenal fans were just making ourselves look stupid over this and I must say if we fail they are probably right. Only way I seeing this working is if they go to ESRs agent and offer and unbelievable price to the point it most likely eclipses anything we already pay any of our existing stars, that would be very stupid to make that happen. If he doesn't sign a new contract, this is the last summer than Arsenal have any power over the situation, next year ESR will hold all the cards and either take Arsenal to the cleaners or be able to choose who to get sold to at a cut price, and if he has a crap season, then £32.5m suddenly looks an amazing deal for Arsenal that they can't get anymore, so selling now when they can get a guaranteed fee may be appealing. From experience, we know you should never let a player get in to the last year of their contract without renewing and that's the dilemma facing Arsenal if he doesn't accept their offer.

It maybe he needs the right package for him to entice him but again it could unsettle what we pay our current stars at villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Until ESR signs a new contract there is a chance of this happening. I wonder if 32.5mil is enough to bring Aresnal to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Possibly 32.5 mil with add ons in addition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Why isn't stevo the Villan causing a ruckus on the Arsenal site, he's letting down the side big time, not enough trouble making going off. I think I'm off to make an Arsenal account to stir the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have gone from increasing by 5 million to 2.5 million, you'd of thought that we just slap the whole price to 40 million and. E done without and hope that's the last time we ever have to bid. I see us going back because we didn't do 35 million third time and putting a 4th bid in for just that, then fifth time will be 40 mill. I bet whoever is on the phone taking the bids is getting ready to quit Arsenal, we are trying to help them get rid of more staff.
