Arsenal Outs 2024

Qwiss

The issue isn't so much Obi Martin as its a sign of a trend that we aren't used to. There is an issue with the way the youth team is being handled if we are losing so many players that we wanted to keep. Whether its wages, path to the first team, something else I don't know but whatever it is I'd rather it stopped. A football club is more than just buying players for the first team.

Is it not a trend at other clubs too? I think it's just the way football is heading.

I'd say a bigger concern is that we don't seem to be counteracting it by making a few signings of our own. Our youth team recruitment feels almost non-existent in the 16+ category.

22 is decent for Eddie, 27 and bonus is great. Make it happen

USArsenal

Anything north of 25 for Nketiah is just good business. 27m plus bonuses is even better. He will never make it here, but has a chance for a pretty good career elsewhere, especially in the French league. (remember, Laca still banged them in in Ligue 1 after his sharp decline at Arsenal).

Mirth

Nice, this will offset the Merino transfer more or less.

Meatwad

hopefully he has great success. we need our big sales of players who can't make it here to actually be good so that teams can keep coming back ... "he might not be good for arsenal but he can be great for us."

Qwiss

€27m for Eddie is ok, we'd probably be able to push a bit more with a PL team but seems his heart is set on Marsielle.

Don Pacifico

Given what we got for Balogun, I'd argue €27m is the minimum we should really be getting.

Edit: more precisely, I think it's a reasonable fee, not something to celebrate but not something to be disappointed over.

RowJimmy

Given that I wouldn't want us to pay 27M€ for a player like Nketiah, I have to think we should be happy to get it.

CPM

I think Eddie's wages from his recent contract renewal have brought down his transfer value.

QuincyAbeyie So upsetting 😭😭😭

est

😢 Hope he does well and has a great career. Loved his game.

Clrnc

Really hope he go on to have a great career! He deserves all the best

Don Pacifico

Really sad that it's ended this way. Whilst it feels like he wasn't given a chance last season, I suspect he probably wouldn't have ever been quite the level we needed (which is more down to injuries hampering his development than talent). Nevertheless, a player I was very fond of and still hoped would stake his place in our XI.

Wish him all the best and hope he proves me wrong (just not when he plays against us!).

JazzG

Such a shame it didn't work out, I really hoped he would overcome his injuries and along with Saka be one of our first choice players. Always sucks when a good academy kid leaves, especially one you had high hopes for.

RocktheCasbah

As I've said all along, I understand why Emile's gone but I hate that it's happened. Absolutely gutted but I hope he goes onto have the career he deserves. Funny to think that, had he not saved Arteta's job over that Christmas, he'd likely still be at the club - and so the world turns.

This one goes straight into my top 5 most upsetting Arsenal departures ever.

invisibleman18

RocktheCasbah this for me too. This one hurts. Debatable whether he got a fair chance last season but it is what it is. Can only wish him well.

RocktheCasbah

😭😭😭

Panda

RocktheCasbah 😭😭😭😭 very sad to say bye.

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah has always seemed like a genuinely nice kid. Hard not to want to see him succeed.
