I assume he earned a few bob at Monaco (tax free) he will want to grab a five year deal which guarantees him 35/40m though. He has two daughters - they can be so expensive !

Wymsey Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 He's not appearing on any central London/north London Boohoo board adverts yet, so clearly he hasn't left yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe's Fox Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 Whether he goes Arsenal or not we are finishing above them next season. Remember this post. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 He needed to be out the door in January. Its unfortunate that he/his agent couldnt sort his future out earlier. We need this guy out the door asap. Hopefully use the funds to build the next team and perhaps an increase in Maddison's contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 On the subject of contracts , top players are very competitive and Youri is probably no different. If Vardy and Schmeical are still our top earners in their mid-thirties , Youri will not easily accept that. He should be on about £8 million a year by now but will we pay it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others deserve more and he's not worth it. The only way he stays with us is if nobody wants to pay for him and that could be a distinct possibility. In which case we're merely a poor second choice for him and I certainly don't see him busting a gut for us next season. We need to prepare for life without him and if he's still here just use him as a sub or cover for injuries. He's had his chance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKLFox Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 (edited) Arsenal spent over £100m last season on transfers, close to £100m the season before that & around £140m in the 19/20 season, if they get all those linked with them currently (Tielemens, Vieira & Jesus + a few fringe) it again pushes the spend over £100m that's £450m over 4 seasons & if we go back another 2 seasons its pushing £650-700m, all of these would come / be coming with big wages are Arsenal that well off as they don't seem to balance the books with their outgoings? I know google search has them as 11th richest club in the world but they havent been getting CL money since 16/17 season & not been ripping up the Europa league, just goes to show how well we are doing if they spending that amount of money & this forum still doesn't see them as a threat. Edit - I see they have done quite well in Europa SF & RU 3 out of 4 but it doesn't pay that well to warrent a huge spend Edited 17 June 2022 by BKLFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That figure is obscene when you compare it to Rugby & i get all the different markets & product etc etc but the best paid Premiership rugby players are generally the Fly Half & the average wage for a #10 is £175k per year so a player at the top of the Rugby pyramid earns less in (actual wage) a year than a run of the mill footballer does in 2 weeks which is wise football will disappear up its own ass in a few years i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 Sceptical if that's true but if it was wouldn't be surprised, given he has a year left on his deal it makes sense for any prospective buying club to let the window rumble on long enough to the point where Leicester may get panicky to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
