Stopharage Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July I think fan’s understanding of value for money has gone out of the window. Some of the same people who were moaning about the cost of Winks last year are saying this is a good buy. £15m for an Arsenal bench warmer who isn’t a priority position seems somewhat frivolous. We need a proper No. 10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a proper No. 10. Have we been linked with a pure #10? Either we don't plan to need one. or we are being stealthy (Not surprising) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a proper No. 10. Would be one of our top earners as well. Overall it would be an expensive player to bring in and I don't think he's good enough to warrant the total cost.

Claudio Fannieri Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 2 hours ago, Stevosevic said: Not necessarily. Might be that we are shipping out McAteer and Wanya on loan or selling them. We would potentially have Nelson, Mavididi, Fatawu, Decodova Reid, Soule as our attacking midfield options and that is without taking into account Alves and Golding who have also featured in pre season.

My Gooner mate says a decent enough player, but not up to their PL/CL aspirations. Happy to offload him and other fringe players in order to reinvest.

Arsenal overpaying on wages to protect his value. Their inaccuracies are usually down to improved contracts over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slymunn Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 21 minutes ago, enmac said: 100k/week! https://www.capology.com/player/reiss-nelson-36504/ Did he manage to get two new contracts in a year? It just doesn't look right that. But this could be why we are looking at the loan, with an obligation if we stayed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 12 minutes ago, em9999 said: I think some of these reports that Nelson is on 100 grand a week are wildly inaccurate “It seems that after months of negotiations and a couple of rejected contract offers, that Arsenal have now come to an agreement with Reiss Nelson to ensure his future at the Emirates. It is being reported today by the Mailthat has been significant breakthroughs in the talks and the player has “agreed in principle” to sign the latest offer, including a reported four-year extension and a “significant rise” on his current wages which is worth around £60,000-per-week, so I wonder if it will come close to the 100,000 Pounds a week that we are said to have given Eddie Nketiah last summer?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 29 minutes ago, enmac said: 100k/week! https://www.capology.com/player/reiss-nelson-36504/ I think the player is worth 20/25m if we’re paying 15m then the 5/10m difference is to cover what we’re prepared to pay him in wages (say 65k) and what Arsenal are paying him (100k) thats 3 years at 35k/week = approx 5m (plus a loan fee for this season which will be approx 2m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloria Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July £100k a week (and no doubt a five year contract), plus obligation not option to buy are both scary thoughts. Have the board not learnt anything? (I know, being rhetorical, innit). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The boy Linacre Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 35 minutes ago, enmac said: 100k/week! https://www.capology.com/player/reiss-nelson-36504/ The one thing we had to learn from when we went down, was overpaying on salaries. One player won't be the difference to keep us up. Stupid salaries = Betrand, Vestegaard v1.0, Soumare, Slimani, Ward etc. Can't get rid when we realise they're rubbish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
