Lowensda Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 If that does not get him we should back out Agree. Although that's a big jump. 50% above what we originally wanted to pay. Should have gone it at £12m (if the reports of £15m are true). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Raising a bit so fast by such an amount sends a wrong message: "pls reject our bids, then we'll throw lots of money at you" Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 There could have been some dialogue between the clubs after the last bid was rejected ie it'll take this much... Who knows If not I'd go in at £12/3m take it or leave it and assure them no more bids will come thereafter and we'll look elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I agree with the above. 12 million up front max, plus another 2 or 3 further down the line based on appearances. A new offer of 15 million (50% higher than the first one!) is madness from a business perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Let's take numbers quoted in speculative news articles with a pinch of salt. We have no idea whether the number has jumped 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Let's take numbers quoted in speculative news articles with a pinch of salt. We have no idea whether the number has jumped 50%.We know that Steve but it's all we have to go off sadly so it's bound to be discussed Definitely a player I'd love here though and IF that is what the club want to spend then so be it he brings a lot to the table albeit for maybe two or three seasons The way I look at it is if we get two or three solid seasons out of him where he leads and organises us during games he's been worth the money and in the longer term he's the type I'm sure that would make a great coach so who knows he may come in fall in love with the place and become part of the furniture..... Optimistic thinking I know but it could happen or whilst here he'd be a great mentor to the likes of Galloway Holgate and co Edited August 4, 2016 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 £15m is the limit I think; £5m a season (I'm guessing we'd get at least 3 out of him) for a seasoned, no-nonsense CB who captains his club and country. No brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 He only got back from holiday late last week and none of their Euro players were in the squad. None story that one mate. That seems a bit daft, none of their Euro players took a part in any pre-season games ? Put them in next week and expect them to be ready seems a bit of a hopeful approach.

Aidan Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Sigurson and Taylor both left out aswel.. I still think this one will happen though ? It sounded like they're willing to sell as they rejected the offer "currently" on the table. As lots of people have said, £15m is the roof, which I think we'd only pay as we're getting desperate to add to the squad. I'd rather take Kone for the reported £17/18m.

They may have more games like , Lukaku has only played 2 half games for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 How does a coach as successful as Wenger at a club as big as Arsenal leave them so obviously shorthanded in so many positions year after year. Living in spitting distance of Arsenal, most of their fans would say that Wenger is shit at buying players, he has an aversion to spending money. Great coach, terrible shopper.
