Summa 26 TW

Gunner89

Barcola's record outside farmer's league is bang average - wouldn't pay anything more than 70m for him

Qwiss

JazzG I hope Spurs stop this from happening. Him wanting to join us is embarrassing enough, we get all the schadenfreude without having to see him in red and white.

Mirth

Romero isn't a bad defender, in fact he's rather good - particular as cover.

But he's just such a twat.

I suspect Romero's trying to force his move to Spain and getting Spurs to move on the transfer fee this way. Because he's a twat.

Qwiss

Mirth probably. They can't really keep him around as their captain after this.

Yeah that makes sense. They'll end up selling him on deadline day for less than they want probably.

Qwiss Vini was going to be on £24m a year and Rogers is only less than £8m. The price difference for the 2 was huge.

You chopped off the phrase "with insane wages on top"? Come on mate you're worse than the BBC editing Trump. 🙄

Meatwad

he may want more money on his next contract. but we don't have to offer him more money. just because we made a mistake the first time doesn't mean we should have to compound the mistake. there is no club on this earth that will pay kai more than he's making right now. it's a performance based business.

Coombs

If one of them PSG attackers had scored the goal Havertz did in the CL final, everyone here would point and say "that's what we need".

Coombs

You're making it out like that's the norm

if he did that most weeks in a season or consistently then it's a no brainer

Reality is he's been fit for 1.5/3 seasons and even when he's been available it's a hit or miss - Sitters against City could have cost us the league and did cost the league cup are a common theme

I mean only bias could say the wages of 330k are well spent here....and please don't come up with the garbage excuse bandied about for half the things now - "but x won the league" "but we won the league", his contribution was less than madueke's last season in the pl

No other "top" cf? the guy has scored at most 15 goals in ALL competitons in a season in the PL....I assure you outside of some blinkered arsenal fans, the consensus would be he isn't even remotely close to the be rated as a top striker

There's a good reason that this is the 3rd summer where Arteta is chasing a top striker or attacker

JazzG

Superb player considering there is no other top CF in the market his contract should be extended.

Meatwad

JazzG
i agree, but not for more than he's making right now. he's overpaid today, you can't make it worse.

Panda

He should prove his fitness and level before being renewed and the same goes for his bestie Ode.

JazzG

Meatwad I heard his salary was more like £260k rising up to £300k with addons. Even that is a bit on the steep side but I think generally right now salaries are

Panda Thing about his injuries we need to consider is he's generally been a fit and reliable player until we literally ran him into the ground. Which is becoming a bit of a reoccurring theme at this club. Could be argued White, Timber and Saka all have suffered this same fate. Hopefully he's had a proper preseason, not played too many games last season so can get over his issues.

awooga83

Meatwad yeah his wage now is already crazy we over paid when he came in if he wants more and won't accept it he should be sold. These stupidly high wages are what trapped us with plenty of players before and jesus now.

Big clubs chase top attackers every summer. If we didn't, that would be concerning. We don't have that many problem players in our team. Jesus is one. Havertz is not.

Gunner89

JazzG

He's about our 2nd highest paid player after saka who earns 300k so it's steep

Yeah can't argue with that. Hopefully we haven't ruined them irretrievably.

Gunner89

JazzG the running down players theme is something i completely agree with you

JazzG

Gunner89 Thought Saka was on more, Saliba is probably on similar and Rice will probably be £300k+ soon.

Gunner89

Need to sort rice out good though he still has 3 years left
