don't believe the wages nonsense. we wouldn't have to blow napoli's salary offer out of the water and they aren't big payers to begin with. they can afford high transfer fees because they sell players for big money, but big wages aren't something they can do.

Nothing wrong with a bit of hype.

Nothing wrong with a bit of caution either but Sicario's logic doesn't hold. Talk about specific weaknesses in his game or his personality but generalised discussions about his profile doesn't help. Everyone knows some transfers flop.

This. You would have thought we are signing Ronaldhino circa 2003

How do you see from my post that I advice people against being cautious? The first thing I said when the links surfaced was that Lille could fuck off with that price. It's the 10 years ago part I'm commenting on.

We are hearing 90m pounds for Sane if he goes to Bayern Munich. What does he have that Pepe lacks at this price?

I suspect what is happening with Pepe is that people are making associations - with the league and stature of club that he is coming from or lack of previous encounters they've had with him and then assuming 72m pounds is beyond him - when the intrinsics suggest the price is in the right range.

Sane is younger and his G/A per min played was one of the best in the league this season iirc.

LOL. That post was a general reply to everyone in the thread.
That's why i said "that's been going on".
Not to worry as misunderstandings happen when not communicating F2F and i did something similar when some geezer worried about Aubameyang getting hurt if Lacazette is sold and i took it as his feelings rather than an injury.

ohboy

Such a shame we couldn’t get CL

We might have been players for Sane. I would love it he stays another year at City, and we try for him next year.

You're not getting away that easily, you definitely meant that. ;D

Which part of "Not to worry as misunderstandings happen when not communicating F2F" do you want me to explain especially as you just misunderstood my previous post. ;D

😆 Whoops. I'm at work as a cashier so I'm refreshing the forum and try to read some posts in between customers. I guess I proved your point.

Arsenal have offered [Nicolas Pépé] a higher salary, worth about £140,000 a week after tax, for a player who scored 22 times in 28 appearances for Lille to help them to finish in second place to PSG last season. [Times]

140.000 after tax ? How much is that before? Also, we pay Mhiki 180.000 is that before or after tax? Man I want Mhiki gone so bad...

So around £100k/week. The transfer fee for up and coming players are higher on average, but wages are definitely lower.

Can't trust the British media one little bit. One, they haven't got a clue, and two, where Arsenal are concerened a large number of the bastards have an obvious agenda. A journalist last week, for example, tried to claim we were paying £18m to have Dani Ceballos for the season. It's just laughbale. For the record, the loan fee is £3m and we pay his £60k/week wages.

Sounds like a salary where we could renegotiate for an extension in three years and give him a nice raise without problems.

This summer, the English media have proven themselves completely clueless on Arsenal rumours. The Zaha rumours are nonsensical, everything about our financials was pulled out a hyena's asshole.

The other big thing these guys miss is that we have dropped 20m pounds in annual running costs already with all the players who left earlier this summer. This is before we shift any of Koscielny, Mustafi, or Mkhitaryan. If we had this so-called 45m beforehand, then this 20m creates additional cushion for summer business.

Gazza M

Done deal. Jetting in for medical and final signature

Good job. Now get tierney and a quality CB, and turf mustafi/kos, and I'd give this window top marks

goon

If we get Tierney and a centre back it will be as good a window as I can remember.

TambourineMan

Wonder if he will feature against former club Angers? Probably too soon.

All hail Don Raul.

the only thing pepe has over him is his physical presence. sane's technical ability, finishing, and decision making is better imo

lets chill a bit here. pepe can be a mess at times, with rough touches and ill-advised dribbling into cul de sacs, especially when spaces are limited. he's got some developing to do if he's to become a complete player
