You knock it back if the player genuinely wants to leave then the club making the bid will have to up it. however, we will have told his people that this needs to be sorted by third week july absolute latest. After that point we won’t sell him. Call his bluff. We cannot be doing business like this that late in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who holds the purse strings and whether brendan needs that £15m. We have lost greater money on players before but I think we need to accept we're getting shafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't want to stay with the Foxes, then you take it, better than getting nothing. Shame as I'd liked him to stay, but he wont sign a new contract, get him gone and move on.

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 ...they did not bring in the right manager at the right time!!! While they were cuddling Wenger, there were good managers out there. Klopp could have come to the Premier League sooner than he did. If Wenger had not walked he would have signed another contract and still have been there. The only time I could remember that they were struggling for finance was when they were building their stadium, and money was tight for a bit. Eventually they paid £72m for Pepe, you get the impression that it is not a well run club, but the shares in the company are always high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said on this thread before that I would be frustrated if he uses us a second choice. But, as others have said, I don’t just buy this view that he hasn’t tried. It just isn’t true. He clearly is a model professional and sometimes, as a result of other variables, players don’t play well. He has had no natural break for about two years now, given he started professional football at seventeen, I really wouldn’t be surprised if he has ran himself into the ground. If he left, you’d notice a difference in our midfield, even when he has been off it, his natural ability still shows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox1norfolk Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 2 hours ago, st albans fox said: if he leaves us this summer or indeed next summer then I guarantee he will be earning more than that ….. Arsenal are big spenders. They had a reputation for not spending in the period (and for a few years after) they built the stadium but over the last seven years they’re probably third behind United and Man City in nett spend . I think it’s time to introduce some from of cap on how much a club can spend each season on transfers. The top 6 think nothing of spending £70 million plus on a player, how can the smaller clubs possibly compete, it is very unfair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like too see him stay, but he isn't going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 Arsenal will be paying off more contracts in time. If Tielemans is going, the sooner the better. I hope our recruitment team come up with some inspiration. With Tielemans, I am in two minds. Part of me thinks he will be really hard to replace. Part of me doesn't think he should be in our first 11 if everyone is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a key player leaves, the outstanding managers adapt their tactics/team according. Perhaps we should go for a more defensively minded player to accompany Ndidi and give other players more freedom (Maddison/Barnes/ KDH for example).
