Time will tell.
He is obviously worth more than 3 million but there isn't exactly a fight to get him. The sorts of clubs who'd pay 20 million upwards for him are probably looking at better players in any case.
It would seem strange spending a summer pursuing Higuain, Suarez and Ba, fail, only to trigger a clause a year later and bring back Vela and Joel Campbell.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Vela came back and in fairness it wouldn't be the worst bit of business, providing he's part of a wider selection of players we're looking to bring in to sharpen up the attack.
Last summer doesn't have me believing we're going to be signing 2-3 worldies. We might get one but that's it, other signings will be like Vela and other bargains/unknowns Wenget likes to get.
Sanchez plays on the flanks for Barcelona but he is a centre forward for his country and looks a really good player there. I think he'd be a great frontman for us in our system as well as alongside Giroud if we decie to switch it up.
Considering the numbers Vela has put up over the past three seasons, I think he’d be a solid addition to the squad. We’re not going to sign world class players all over the pitch and I don’t mind seeing smart business decisions mixed with an ambitious signing. Only Theo and Podolski can boast of a similar goalscoring record.
I'd be happy with Vela for 3mill filling for Poldolski on the left. Left footed, pacey forwards have been something we've desperately missed.
We shouldn't be convinced of anything and for good reason but there should be a level expectation from who the targets are at least based on last seasons targets (which we failed to get) and Gazidis' proclamations.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
We didn't sign the top class forward or top class DCM so as far as I'm concerned the club should be looking at top players in those positions again even if not the same players. Whether we manage to sign them or not is another question but having gone through the season there's even more reason to make those signings as we have come up short in the league so proven if it wasn't already obvious that we do need those additions in the squad.
If the Vela deal is true and it is a matter of activating a clause of 3 million, then that is a formality and I expect something concrete in the way of communication out of the club this week. Otherwise it's probably a load of rubbish.

Dolla dolla bill, y'all.
Also, Vela has to actually want to come back. There's no guarantee he'll want to leave Spain.
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.
Jesus that is actually a little bit disgusting.

But as we're top of the pile I'm totally fine with that.
