What I’ve seen of ESR he’s worth every penny! If the player Arsenal are after is cheaper and better then fair dues to them but I’ll be delighted if we get ESR for less than 40m.

After we mugged them off over Emi, i would be surprised if they would even sell us one of their ticket clerks for 40m just in case we turned them in to a full international worth 80m!

Yeah, my brothers a massive Arsenal fan so I watch them quite a bit and there upturn in form definitely coincided with him getting in the team as he really provided the link between midfield and attack!

I think it's a combination of things. Naturally, both clubs must rate the potential of the player very highly to be talking about the sums mentioned, but that premium comes with a higher financial safety net than buying a player like Auoar. If we bought ESR for £35m, there are very few circumstances, outside of injuries, that his value will go down. The more likely scenario is that he continues his progression and his value continues on the upward trajectory. It's a high premium, but a relatively low-risk investment for the club. Taking a player like Auoar could be a great success, but also could be a Sebastien Haller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just stump up the price to £40mill and I reckon Arsenal will sell, they need the money. Would love it if he came, Grealish, ESR Buendia and Watkins would be a great forward line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when they gave Özil that massive contract when he was on the decline and they then learned their lesson by not giving Aubameyang and Willian bumper contracts? Oh, wait... With the way Arsenal is run these days, I wouldn't put learning lessons from past mistakes as one of their strengths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see that it's not just me that has a little pee left over after a nice big dump. I may have been looking a bit too closely to that gif. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
