Madness they should have encouraged Man Utd to buy him!
They could have then, took him on loan in January with an option to buy for £30m in the summer.

Simples really.

£100m upfront?!

bigredarsenal.bsky.social•3 days ago

£100m upfront payment? Wow.

Everyone seems to be sold on the fact this is a great move for one of the world's best attackers. While that may all prove to be true, I think people are also really downplaying the risk of a move like this.

£100m+ transfers are 50/50 at best. It's a huge dice roll.

Didn’t he do his cruciate a couple of years ago? Really thought that risk would have driven down the price 😬

Can’t wait to see him in action!

But they never spend anything?

whistlingspy.bsky.social•3 days ago

But how much is that INCLUDING agent fees and signing fees?
That’s how this works right?

The Liverpool/City rivalry is gonna be fun the next few years. Both teams doing elite business so far. Arsenal need to step it up a bit if they want to compete for the title.

inspiraytional.bsky.social•3 days ago

Arsenal’s squad is a lot younger than City or Liverpool’s, so doesn’t need as much invested into it. We’ll get our striker, a winger, plus Zubimendi and that should do nicely. Anything else is just a bonus this summer

toddching.bsky.social•3 days ago

There's a LOT riding on who that winger and striker are. If it's Rodrygo/Nico Williams and Gyokeres, then absolutely you'll be right there. I haven't seen enough of Sesko to know, but that might be one where being younger (than Gyokeres) isn't necessarily an advantage in the short term.

inspiraytional.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gyökeres is not that guy imo. Strikers coming from Portugal have an awful track record in the PL, plus his strike rate against the other big 3 in Portugal is relatively poor at around 0.35 goals per game. Added to the fact that 18 of his league goals were pens, so I’d be sterling well clear of that

Some belter will tell me that’s the Coutinho money and their net spend is good.

bitginger.bsky.social•3 days ago

Quality over quantity. Wirtz + Chiesa + Frimpong over two years equates to the same level of spending per season as you lot were spaffing out over the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun.

Oil club?
