Just wanted to reiterate that for those who have been recently sheepish, despite bemoaning Arsenal for low balling and lacking ambition with the structure of payments we offer.
Now do I think paying this much is worth it? Absolutely not…I’d have walked away just like we did with Baldrick. But I think it puts to bed the claim that Arsenal have too much of a small club mentality to get these big deals done.
In fact I’d actually say we’ve shown the Chelsea mentality, which in my mind is far worse…but the people stating the opposite. You were very wrong about this, it’s not your debut at being wrong so there’s no reason to feel too downhearted
