Another no, no then. https://www.capology.com/player/eddie-nketiah-36310 18 minutes ago, em9999 said: It would appear he is on ,100 grand a week I'm amazed ... Nelson has a massively inflated wage and seemingly a massively inflated reputation based on being part of that England u-21 setup circa 2019 where there were a number of top level players and clubs thought all of them were going to turn out to be superstars. The squad had players like Saka, Foden, Musiala and Bellingham and the bigger clubs clearly paid over the top wages hoping to retain top up coming talent. Some, like those mentioned, justified it. Others, most notably Hudson-Odoi were given ridiculous contracts despite not being able to break into their clubs squads anywhere near regularly to justify it. If we take this on then we're effectively paying for Arsenals over-speculating on the player. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblcfc84 Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July For me, much better option than an untested player in the PL, who is twice the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 29 minutes ago, JimJams said: HOW? People are speaking about 5m+ for Casey ! Nelson is a home grown talent who can’t get into arsenal starting line up. But he’s in the list for starting options if wide player injured. Had a v good spell in Germany. and he is 24/25 so will have a resale value in three years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enmac Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July Is he very likely to be worth 40M, in say 2 years time with regular first team football? If so, he's worth the risk, financially speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July Wouldn't mind this at all. He needs a home, a place to thrive. He also gets on really well with Cooper, which is a plus right now (not so much if Cooper doesn't last long of course). He would give us options and would challenge Mavididi, Fatawu and McAteer straight away, which is what we need. Wanya needs a loan or permanent move for me. McAteer perhaps another loan as well to really get some proper game time. I'd like to keep Alves around and get him involved. I thought he and Golding linked up well last night. But maybe it would be better for his development if he went out to a Championship side looking to play decent football. But if Nelson were to come I like the following as options for the three behind the striker: Mavididi, Fatawu, R. Nelson, Golding, De Cordova-Reid, (McAteer), (Alves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy low sell high only works consistently if you buy low, otherwise a couple dud signings negates any profits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolucklcfc Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July Could really take off if he has regular game time, be a smart signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July He's not going to walk away from £100k a week for 3 years, so there'll have to be a hefty bit of offsetting in the transfer fee to make up the shortfall. Probably why it'll be a loan to start with, but could see us having to pay more in transfer fee and they'll use a chunk of that to pay him off.

(Or we’ll pay less in fee and pay the balance of his contractual arsenal pay) I tried to point this out earlier ric - good luck ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July If he's genuinely on 100 bags a week then I'd have no interest. The lad will just see us as a cash cow for 5/6 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July He’s a decent player, technically very good, just unfortunate that he’s had more developed players ahead of him in the pecking order. The kind of player who needs to move on a kick on in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I totally agree, but there were an awful lot of chances created in the video, which were wasted. I suppose all I'm suggesting is there is evidence that he does create quite a few chances, whether or not the video reel is disproportionate to the times he wastes possession, then I agree this is not clear. I fully understand videos are only likely to show the best bits. Edited 24 July by MGLCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also statistically you would be far made likely to get goals an assists playing for a team like Arsenal battling for the title and tonking teams than you would in a struggling team getting tonked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
