    Yeah, I've got to say 10m and slashing 200k/wk from the wage bill looked a good deal to me, but then we did get 35m for Iwobi last summer, so who knows what we thought we could get? We have been greasing the palms of a lot of super agents lately so we must be owed a few favours...

    i really hope Invisible's right and this is a change of approach to get people off the wage bill
    I might just be putting two and two together here and getting five, but I think a lot might have changed for the players as well as the club. Assuming clubs all across Europe are going to have to tighten their belts due to the loss of match-day revenue, then you've got to think the days of fat signing-on fees for free transfers are numbered (at least for the next few years). And if there's no fat signing-on fee waiting for them, then is there any value in seeing out the final year of their contracts? Or would they be better off pushing for a move now, while they have an extra year of (relative) youth to offer.

    I have a feeling the main currency for footballers for the next few years could be length / security of contract.

    Good news. He's a sensational player.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Saka and Martinelli are fantastic top talents, this is good news and the way to go for us. Let's hope Saliba turns out to be in the same talent bracket.

    That's very kind of him, considering he never gets a game, have we kidnapped his family or something?

    Martinelli.

    Valuable bench time for years to come.

    Injured in training on 21 June - probably won’t be available again this season now

    Balague says Messi is fed up and disillusioned at Barca.

    I'd still sign Old Man Messi, I don't know what his wages are exactly but Ozil+Lacazette's combined would probably get us half way.

    Joining us though. Maybe a cheeky loan bid.

    Whatever they are, they’ll be 30% of what they were before lockdown!
