Arsenal OUTS 2023 😞

lorddulaarsenal

Have a feeling we’ll move for Guehi next week. If he proves to tricky to get we’ll move for Schuurs.

Attacker coming in too I recs

Clrnc

Has Gabriel's head been turned by the riches of Saudi? Hmmmmm

KingslandBarge

for further interpretation:

seemed to tense up

Don Pacifico

Feels like it could be posturing around agreeing a new contract...?

Maybe that's my wishful thinking.

Qwiss

KingslandBarge I would have been annoyed if the club scrambled for a sale well below-par or looked for some termination of contract.

Prepare yourself for future disappointment because I've yet to see senior player who's been frozen out and sent on loan work out like this. Didn't happen with Bellerin, Torreira, Pepe, etc and I don't expect it'll happen with Tierney either.

lorddulaarsenal the idea of Jorginho at full back is giving me indigestion.

Qwiss

lorddulaarsenal what a sinister comma added by Hagn 😆

weve been a poor selling club for the last 20+ years. i can count on one hand the number of times we've sold a player and ive thought "damn, yeah that is great business for us"

it seems to be completely deprioritized at the club. maybe edu doesnt like dealing with that part of the business (he kind of admitted as much in the documentary, didnt he?) but if that is the case, we need someone else to handle that part of the transfer business, because its kind of embarrassing.

Ricky1985

The inclusion of a "significant" sell-on clause makes this a great deal.

Don Pacifico

Ricky1985 if that 'significant' sell-on clause is anything less than 15%, it's still a disappointing deal in my mind.

lorddulaarsenal

Now move Cedric, Lokonga, Tavares and Pepe then recruit!

Sicario2 - Tier 1

lorddulaarsenal

I think it that’s it for incomings regardless of how many go out. In theory we have just signed two players, Havertz and Rice which is disappointing.

Clrnc

Don Pacifico if he's sold for 50m in future, 20% is just 10m. Hoping for 30%. Tbh.

Surprised we didn't have first option or buy back clauseb

Gazza M

disappointed there was no market for KT. I suppose protecting his value so we can sell him next season is passable from a strategic standpoint. hopefully he stays fit over there

JazzG

Balogun deal is probably best we are gonna get, we could probably sell him to a rival for more here but would rather he goes abroad for cheaper.

Gazza M Saw someone say apart from Newcastle a lot of the top sides in the league have good options for LB.

Burnwinter

Mirth Yeah, when Tierney turned out for us a few times in the back half of last season, he often looked unconfident inverting under Arteta's instruction. Arteta and Edu have been creating a template for building a squad to challenge in this league, and it's clear Tierney's not in it.

Ricky1985

Clrnc

You think we should be able to sell him for, what, £50m now? But a sell-on clause of 20% is not enough because after developing at Monaco you're saying he'd still only be worth £50m?

I see it as we were smart enough to pick a loan that has generated £35m for a youth product who has never really featured for the first team, and if he develops into a good player, there's good chance we get another £10-15m from him. Who knows, with the way the Saudi money is flooding in, it's not unrealistic to think that even decent to good strikers could go for £100m+ in the near future.

Clrnc

Ricky1985 Doesn't really work that way does it? I said above the fee was acceptable, if the clauses inserted is highly to our favour. I'm hoping for more than 20%

flobaba

lorddulaarsenal

Even the ref liked that penalty

Doc

Ultimately a lot of it comes down to who is buying.. If no top teams are interested then we won't be getting the crazy money.. As mentioned, as long as it's a decent sell on clause (20%ish). It's a good deal.

Big Willie

On Pepe, it's so weird what's happening. Is he gonna be sold or loaned out? Nothing seems to be happening, but at the same time he is nowhere to be seen in our preseason tour or training. OK I get he's not Arteta's cup of tea and that he's considered not good enough, but why be completely frozen out like he doesn't even exist.

By the way, came across this interesting video today, Darren Bent on Talkshite comparing Pepe's time with us vs the combined contributions of Sancho and Antony.

And it's actually true lol

Reactions to Pepe across the media were so strong, obviously not helped by our treatment of him, but Antony and Sancho should be embarrassed especially considering how much each of them cost and the wages they are on. Pepe just super unlucky that he has Saka and Martinelli ahead of him. He'd do some crazy numbers at United playing instead of those two.

Burnwinter

Big Willie Pepe just super unlucky that he has Saka and Martinelli ahead of him.

Always felt absurdly harsh how Arteta treated Pépé, but he's also not done much since his one good season. But you'd easily, easily take him over Antony, Pépé is an ambiturn unlike the Brazilian.

With Sancho I feel I barely even know his game, he's been that underwhelming in England.
