I think Ozil is off as well as Sanchez, so that attacking line up looks good for a mid table club.
Just imagine if that was our starting line up next season.
We would become a mid table club
This is the best news Iāve heard in a long time. Never really understood what Theo brought to the table as a player. He happened to be the only recognizable name in a team that had just lost Adebayor, Cesc, Nasri and RvP in successive transfer windows and reaped the benefit.
I donāt buy into the idea that he cares more about his non-football ventures than football. However Iām sick of him and think heās come to represent the epitome of a Arsene Wenger player. Heās smart, quick with a quote, savvy about his image and ultimately comfortable not being challenged or willing to challenge others.
Exactly.
He, like Wenger and several players, are on the Arsenal gravy train where complacency rules and ambition is a dirty word.
Like you say, Walcott represents everything wrong with the club.
Physically and mentally weak, complacent, overpaid and lacking a winning mentality.
This type of attitude is why Sanchez and Ozil want out, and why we wonāt be able to attract any quality players here to replace them.
This is so not true.
Possibly the best business we do this window is to offload this guy.
Depends on how much money we make anything below Ā£20m and weāve been had
Getting him off the wage bill would be enough for me.
And anything above Ā£20m, theyāve been had
anything above Ā£20 and they have been had TBH!
Ā£30M is a fair price. Donāt let Theoās shitness at Arsenal deceive you, heād be a great player for any club outside the top 6
Weāll be lucky to get Ā£10m
Just someone PM me when Wally Walcott is finally gone, Iāll buy the cake and distribute it appropriately
You know what, I think youāre right. For the first 3 months of last season he was a starter and doing alright and heās had a consistent record over a long period that would make him a good buy for any 6th-10th side. Heās about as proven a PL attacker as any of those teams are going to get.
But Iām afraid that heās simply going to have such a reputation as damaged goods that he wonāt command a fee that heās worth. My guess would be something like Ā£12m max.
Heās done no less in the PL than someone like Sigurdsson who is about the same age and was not cheap but he played for a club that needed him and didnāt want to sell. Buying Arsenal players that can barely make the bench, you arenāt spending Ā£30m there.
I reckon the fee will be between 18-22m
They just got 75m from selling VVD if we donāt get a chunk of that our negotiating team is worthless.
Define chunk.
At least 1/4.
18/19m. Yea. Should achieve that.
We should get more than that for a homegrown in his prime with 100+ goals from the wing and nearly 50 caps for the three kitties. Iām not sure we will, but we should. More like Ā£25-30m imo.
We could have commanded a good fee for Theo if he didnāt become an absolute non entity at Arsenal to the point where he doesnāt even make the squad sometimes. And when you factor in his big wages, thereās no way weāre getting a good fee for him.
