Bellerin was the best right back we had until he got badly injured and became a wokester
His mum is clearly mentally Ill, she was living in a shipping crate a few years ago I shit you not
More to do with the money he was on at Chelsea, you can’t really expect him to take a pay cut coming here. Don’t get me wrong better we didn’t sign him at all, but that was always going to be the case when you sign a player from a club with an out of control wage bill and an owner who clearly needs to wear water wings when taking a bath
Taking a pay cut when you are a multi, multi millionaire is different to taking a pay cut for the normal man (or woman, brothers!). These fuckers haven't got a clue about normal life.
What’s that got to do with anything?
Whilst it’s true, it’s got nothing to do with what we are talking about
The fact is if you’re earning a fuck ton, you’re not going to consent to earning less of a fuck ton elsewhere it makes no sense.
Reports suggest he was slightly on less than 300k at the Chavs, so we've rewarded him with an over 10% increase for what exactly? No wonder this deal went through so fast, clearly the Chavs got one over us with this.
Its too late, but we really should have thought this over properly, its not like he is filling any gaping hole we have in the team so I really don't get the urgency of this signing nor the terms.
10% increase is hardly astronomical even if you’re on astronomical wages
Well yes I agree that the transfer fee was too much, but then again it’s a deal worth 65 million so who knows what add ons were added.
Have no idea what we want him for, not a transfer I particularly pine for….but think it clear Arteta wanted the player for some reason best known only to him
Well if its to save your career (and clearly his needs saving with his output and the amount of suitors he had) a paycut is arguable.
Balotelli at his prime (age wise anyway) took one to move to Liverpool, Coutinho did so to join Bayern, Pogba did so to join Juve and Aguero (i think on a free) did so for Barca.
Put simply, is Kai doing us a favour joining us or is it the other way round?
We agree on this.
I think he probably would have gone back to Germany if we hadn’t bought him. I don’t get the impression he felt his career was at a precipice.
Well seeing as the top 10 highest earning players in Germany all play for Bayern and their highest earner is Neuer (clearly on merit) at £338k a week, I am struggling to see if he could have gotten similar terms without having a heavily discounted transfer fee....which is what I believe should have happened in our case. Lets not forget we sold Auba and got rid of Ozil at great discounts to achieve exactly what Chelsea has done.
