Popular Post sidcow Posted June 16, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 I feel like we've been quite rude here. Just waltzed in and slapped a £25m bid on the table? Not even weighed it up or prepared it? Didn't give Arsenal fair warning to brace themselves? Frankly I thought NSWE had more class than this. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're definitely ruffling feathers and making a name for ourselves. People are taking notice and so are players looking at Buendia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don’t that happened that way, it would be unlike us so for me there is more to this than what we know. I doubt we’ll get him but I wouldn’t put it past Arsenal doing PR smoke and mirrors.

It's those little things you notice with players coming through, that extra air of quality. Little feint or acceleration to get away from the defence. Smith Rowe has it as does Foden. And Grealish of course. Stats schmatts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Not sure about this really. Obviously hes one for the future but we have some fantastic 17/18 year olds and some of them need to be given a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 26 minutes ago, useless said: Not sure why some seem to think the £25m is ridiculous, I wouldn't expect Arsenal to accept it, but I think it's more than a reasonable offer for a player that has two years left on his contract and has only played twenty premier league games. Plus he turns 21 next month, so it's not as if he's a 17 or 18 year old where you're also paying for potential. Look at some of the other players in the England U21 team and £25m is probably about what you'd expect to pay for the better ones, exceptions being Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mason Greenwood, but they've done a lot more than Smith Rowe. Arsenal owe 154m in delayed transfer fees, more than any other PL club. Their fans just have to accept they're a selling club that need to balance the books 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ve gone the outrageous bid route, with added swoop to gain speed at the vital moment. The Gunners have found themselves ill prepared and have been flustered into a hurried rebuff. Thereby leaving open ground for a secondary attack, while the badly shaken north London outfit are left floundering. This after defeat in The Battle of Buendia has left them very vulnerable. Rumours that Villa have now offered Arsenal £30m plus a look at Their European Cup have also been denied. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2021 So I guess one of a couple of routes here. Either: He's turned around to Arsenal and told them he won't be signing a contract and his agent has then let clubs know, so we've weighted up the value of that and popped in a bid which in my opinion undervalues him, even with two years left, but is perhaps tempting if he's absolute in his desire not to sign a new deal. Or, his agent wants a lot more money out of Arsenal for his player than he's being offered and he's cut a deal with us where he's faked the above, encouraged us to make a bid we don't have to follow up on and will use that to squeeze what he wants from Arsenal. Why would we do that? Perhaps to make an agent happy because he has another player we like. So who represents him and who else is on his books? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lodge a bid, gets rejected, we go to the press of another target, put back an offer. BOOM, DONE DEAL. We did it with Buendia and McNeil. Watkins and Wilson Traore and Rashica? Martinez and Romero. Pretty sure Romero was just Emi. One of his names is Romero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a guy who will never know the sweet embrace of a female. What an absolute shower of a human. Also he knows nothing about football. Clearly needs to research players positions before posting the scrawny little spaz. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
