Burnwinter

Gunner89 When you're in our phase

This is the key though. No one was celebrating Edu's sales either. The most successful selling is always based on moving on players at a time that's not advantageous to maximising performances. That's the real criterion of a selling club, its willingness to weaken its football, as Newcastle is currently doing.

Burnwinter I'm talking about the buying here tbf....you can't spin plates with the elite

tazmania

What is up with these rumors. Selling Martinelli and Nwaneri to make room for Victor Osimhen wtf.

He's a nut case and it's 2026

JazzG

tazmania I'm not sure what I think about this one if I am being honest, however if it means the end of Gyokeres I'm fully on board...

Bryant

Klaus

Yeah Osimhen is on 650-700k pounds a week over there. They must got some fraud tax breaks to afford him lol

USArsenal

Bryant Yeah Osimhen is on 650-700k pounds a week over there

Yeah, no he isnt. He's around 300k per week for his base salary

banduan

USArsenal yup, the main issue is the tax he has to pay there vs in the UK. We'd need to pay him 500k for him to get an equal amount.

Mind you, in my mind there are only 3 world class strikers left in the world and he's one of them.

USArsenal

banduan yup, the main issue is the tax he has to pay there vs in the UK. We'd need to pay him 500k for him to get an equal amount.

I think i read that there is a 20% take for professional athletes in Turkey (which, i guess means he makes a little more than 300, but certainly not 500+)

Either way, we aren't going for him. He's not the most healthy player, and we dont need yet another crock

Qwiss

JazzG if he's the one offering MLS to United and Chelsea he can sling his hook. Otherwise I don't really care.

JazzG

Qwiss There are some rumours that those MLS rumours came from him or someone high at Arsenal....

JazzG

Qwiss

JazzG oh ffs, he was a joke of a player at Liverpool. Can we look beyond the England squad list please, there is fuck all defensive talent there.

lorddulaarsenal

Would be a good move. Guy is physical as can be

Gunner89

nah don't want a project player - get konsa in and he does the job for 2 years then if mosquera improves he can do the job

JazzG

That kind of fee seems reasonable but I don't know how he has done in Germany, know he was super highly rated at Liverpool but very injury prone.

Gunner89

JazzG 43m is reasonable for a project but not a proven pl player in his prime?

JazzG

Gunner89 Sounds like Villa aren't budging from £60m or whatever they want.

Mirth

JazzG we shouldn’t bother with Villa unless we’re prepared to help them cook the books

Qwiss

JazzG but I was told over and over and over that it was stupid to think he'd cost over £50m and Villa would compromise and sell him for £35-40m.

USArsenal

JazzG

There is also talk that it came from the other club side of things and both the player, family, camp and club have poo-pooed it.

lorddulaarsenal

Get him in then Champions gonna Champion

banduan

USArsenal I think i read that there is a 20% take for professional athletes in Turkey (which, i guess means he makes a little more than 300, but certainly not 500+)

yes, but to get 300k after taxes in the UK Arsenal would need to pay him >500k

JazzG

Depends on the price, Liverpool fans are having a meltdown which makes this even more appealing!
