Dave Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Look forward to Arsenal fans telling Norwich to “stop holding Buendia hostage” for demanding a big transfer fee and then claiming in February they don't need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 1 hour ago, The Palace Fan said: 2024 according to Transfermarkt. Arsenal will have to pay the ransom fee demanded if they want the release of this hostage, then. Otherwise they'll have to resort to Barcelona tactics and do everything they can to unsettle him to the point where he'll stop being a professional and refuse to turn up to training/matches. And no club should do that. But I do wonder how many clubs now that are demanding pre-COVID prices for players are also feeling a bit of a strain from the post-COVID financial issues - and how much more likely clubs will be to drop their prices now, while publicly asking for as much money as they can (which, you can't blame a club that's got rich suitors for trying to get as much money as they can...obviously, it's like if I'm selling a TV, I'll want to get as much cash for that). Nothing wrong with clubs wanting a premium paid to release a player from their contractual obligations, regardless of how much a player might want the move away.

6666 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I think we'll first try and get Odegaard on a permanent. Although there's a good chance clubs in better positions will try and make a move. Real Madrid of course could try and keep him but they're idiots when it comes to young players. Let's hope they make the same mistake as they did with Hakimi and Theo Hernandez, and let's hope Odegaard doesn't want an easy career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted June 5, 2021 Administrator Share Posted June 5, 2021 I reckon we'd be properly in for him but perhaps knew how much Norwich would want. I don't blame them though. Clearly a good talent and probably won't have any issues playing in PL. They have the right to ask for so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 1 hour ago, shut up said: Aye okay mate Was a bit tongue in cheek, but I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong. You’ve got a shite manager, a squad that is average save for a few talented young players and an owner who doesn’t seem arsed about what happens on the pitch. I think it’s just a bit of a depressing time to be at Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He can go to Villa, have one of two good seasons then move on to one of the top clubs. If he goes to Arsenal and performs well, he is a prisoner as you won’t sell on to those clubs, not for a reasonable price anyways. If I was him and I had the choice of either, I’d be choosing Villa.

Administrator Stan Posted June 6, 2021 Administrator Share Posted June 6, 2021 26 minutes ago, shut up said: Also - we've been a selling club since moving to the Emirates (Nasri, RVP, Ox, Cesc). And playing for Arsenal gets you more exposure than playing for Villa. Anybody who wants to play for Madrid, PSG etc... would do well to sign for Arsenal. That's where the times have changed... You're not as big as you make out if you take out the finances. You used to be a club you would want to go to, and not to be used as a stepping stone...

People rewriting history I see. Most clubs are like this, even Liverpool (Coutinho, Wijnaldum), Man Utd (Ronaldo, Di Maria & now Pogba), Leicester, Spurs lose their best players quite often Yes, but you used to regularly be seen as a better bigger club than Leicester, Spurs and often Liverpool. That's not really the case now though is it? Hence how times have changed and you're not that much of a pull for players to go to any more. You used to be on a par with the best clubs in England to sign and play for. Now you've dropped a level through bad management or off field issues, and instead you're seen as a stepping stone of a club. Arsenal's status has dropped. I'm not rewriting history at all.

Administrator Stan Posted June 6, 2021 Administrator Share Posted June 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, shut up said: Yes we've dropped, no doubt about it but we're still a massive prospect. Look at what we've won, even recently. Not many clubs have matched that (City, LFC and Chelsea aside ofc) We're still comfortably a bigger club than Leicester and Spurs, don't you worry about that. you only finished 5 points above this 'average' Arsenal team that are in a 'shambles' btw. Let's not get too giddy Stanley. Anyway, I'm off to enjoy my sunday, not listening to drivel about how spurs and Leicester are anywhere near the size of Arsenal It's nice to be in the conversation regardless considering where we were merely 10-15 years ago though I'll happily take a league title 5 years ago compared to whenever the last one you won was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal are in as bad a situation as us under Hodgson. Your manager is a clueless bellend who only got the job because he hung around with some slaphead for a while. More of an Everton legend anyways. You couldn’t pay me to join Arsenal right now....oh wait, yeah you can. I’ll have the same 3 year contract at 250k p/w that you gave the mighty Willian.
