The mega-rich Manchester club have been flirting with Milner for some time now, before the summer World Cup in fact, and it appears the only stumbling block is Aston Villa's mammoth asking
price for a player which only a few seasons ago cost them a third of what they're asking City to pay for the former Newcastle and Leeds United player.
Not exact matches
A year ago, most analysts were thinking about the situation in terms of a «cooperative game,» in
which players would strive
for a
price that maximized their profits.
Industry
players are worried about ad - hoc plans
for minimum floor
pricing for alcohol
which would make even the cheapest bottle of wine $ 10 in the NT.
Well Usmanov is football man and an Arsenal fan, if it was
for him being the main shareholder, Wenger would have got the full support in buying star
players, but with a
price which comes with the demand
for success.
Wenger is right about the crazy
prices for players but the reason the transfer
prices have gone crazy is the amount of money available to clubs from the latest TV deal... of
which Arsenal are quite happy to receive.
However, Benfica placed an enormous # 40m
price tag on the head of the Serbian international,
which put off interest in his signature
for some time, though Liverpool now feel they may be able to tempt the Portuguese giants into parting company with their star
player for # 30m when the transfer window opens again in the middle of the season.
One of the most exciting aspects of contract bridge is the competitive auction in
which each
player tries to determine the
price he can afford to pay
for the privilege of naming the trump suit or the declaration at
which his side will gain the most points or lose the fewest.
Spurs have also been linked with making a move
for Balde Diao, with TalkSport reporting that Juventus could face seriously stern competition from Pochettino's side in the race to secure the
player's signature, with the north London club set to offer # 28M
for the winger within the next few days,
which matches the Serie A side's asking
price for the
player.
It remains to be seen if every one of these eight
players will actually leave all at once, but recent reports from various souces suggest that there are a number of first - teamers in Carlo Ancelotti's squad who could be considered
for sale
for the right
price,
which is likely to see some movement, possibly to the Premier League.
As they appear to be incapable of both selling
players and lining up incoming
players at the same time.
For a side crying out
for a
player like Matuidi I can't work out why no effort was made to buy him
for a
price below # 20m...
which would seem to be a bargain in today's market.Presumably Wenger thought he was too old and wouldn't have any re-sale value!!
I bet you are one of these people that want carvalho because he is valued by his release clause at # 37m, yet would be disgusted if we signed a better
player for a fraction of that
price,
which is totally possible as so many are in their last year.
Money in the transfer market is rampant
which means most top
players we want to buy are a) not on the market because the club does not need to sell (eg: Draxler, Lewandoski) b) even if they are in the market it is
for inflated
prices which we are not willing to pay (Higuain).
Those two are a promising start, especially with the cat that the Euros will skyrocket
players prices for a few good performances,
which is so not a real measure when you play in a tournament where you could be the standout
player in a small team and you play with
players you meet up a few times in the year.
Well he is and he should be coming to us, the only reason he's not is his
price tag
which Wenger and the board consider too much, this is laughable as they paid 16 million
for Welback and he in my opinion is really not ever going to be anything more than a reasonable squad
player.
Both
players are reportedly hoping
for weekly wages of around # 200,000 per week,
which in the state that football currently is in, is about the right
price for players of their quality, but
for Arsenal's wage structure it could be challenging.
He's too slow and not the best tackler, als mustafi isnt WC
which he should hav been

player who could hav been bought

As
for Milan, they must now start again with a new man at the helm, with the
players, Berlusconi and vice-president Adriano Galliani all to blame too as they should accept responsibility
for another disappointing season
for which Mihajlovic has ultimately paid the
price.
Some clubs we have approached will know of our intent but with many agents and club officials attaching their
players names to Arsene and our club
for the benefit of raising
prices we will rarely know
which ones to believe.
Only top teams should demand such ticket
prices which arsenal isn't as we are not gonna make signings as we know
players have become too costly.I would rather we don't qualify
for champs league its just revenue
for the board nothing more.Every year the same excuses lame Wenger.
This memorable bid is being reported to be # 8million,
which again seems like a reasonable
price for me
for a
player that we need.
Arsenal also met their # 65 asking
price but offerrd only # 35 upfrontand the rest in installments.Monaco wanted all the # 65 upfront
which quite frankly doesn't often happen.Teams don't pay the full money upfront though there are some exceptions.You'll hear a team signs a
player for so so and so but only a part of the money is paid upfront.This is what many people don't know.Arsenal actually tried hard to sign Lemar but failed.
Im not sure your comment is correct... everyone starts somewhere at a reasonable
price Cesc was free and turned into a valuable
player Bellerin — similar and valued at # 50mn now apparently Kante — bought
for nothing and won 2 premier leagues in a row Vardy from non-league to England and prem league title Mahrez — 400k Holding — looks good and only # 2mn Mbappe — last year was # 230k now # 100mn Teams like Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd plus eg Monaco and others just pay silly money
which inflates the
price and then «fans» feel their clubs have to spend the same....
The Brazilian carries a # 22 million
price tag —
which might represent a stretch
for a relatively untested
player — while Liverpool, Manchester United and Paris Saint - Germain are all understood to be keen on the
player.
OTOH there's always a
price at
which players (even CFs) become available: I could imagine PSG letting cavani go
for a huge sum, but RM would never let benzema go.
i say to Silent Stan be a bit more risk taker and buy one or two
players which might not work out, look at Man - U they gambled with Angel De Maria but they can sell him to PSG almost
for the same
price they purchased him
we can't even get rid of
players that have barely mannered to us
for several years...
which is incredibly annoying considering that our beloved owner would never risk his own financial resources whether he brought in some new blood or offloaded several failed Wenger projects
for less than market value... he would simply make a little less and the burden would fall squarely on other sources of income, primarily us... I don't know about you but I would gladly use all the money they have been stockpiling to rid ourselves of those that don't meet acceptable standards and to replace them with a few higher
priced gems... I know, I know, Wenger and his minions have been scouring the globe
for years now to find anyone that was as good as our current lot to no avail, but I've just got to believe there must be two or three guys somewhere out there that can play this crazy game
Time
for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of
for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements,
which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that
player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous
for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special
players and certainly can't help make the
player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order
for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper
players in the final third... he was never a good defensive
player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as
for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal
for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money
for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul...
for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play,
which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a
player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket
prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand
players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid
for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up
for half the
price he eventually went to Juve
for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years,
which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those
players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness
for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
It is irrelevant that I sometimes disagree with your comments (but often I agree too) I also wish Wenger had gone in
for Mahrez, when there was a chance to land him at
prices we would pay,
which has now long gone, esp with attacking
players we have just bought.
Most outlets agree the
price is somewhere between # 30 million and # 35 million,
which is certainly a large amount
for a
player yet to be tested on our shores, add onto that the rumoured 5 - year deal signed at # 120k per week and the ends up much closer to # 65 million than 35.
i just do nt understand whats going on with mr Wenger pretty much a personal opinion
which he is trying to convince everybody — is time is up in modern football too much royalty to some of his
players who are not good enough and Arsenal fans pay huge
price for that - when do does nt want to spend money he wait until last minute and use that as an example
for not buying
players to improve squad — the exceptional
players it talking about he sounds to mean Messi in my definition!!
Don't blame the process
for the Sanchez situation, blame Wenger & Gazidis
for not getting their business done earlier and / or not following through with the promises they have made to their high
priced talent and their devoted fans... someone please give me an example of another supposed «top club» allowing their top
player to go unsigned before the final year of their contract unless they were severely injured or the club was planning on selling said
player prior to their final year... on a side note, Wenger might complain about the transfer window closing so late but just think about how problematic that could be
for our team
which usually waits until the last second to make deals... on the one hand we might have less «panic» buys, whereas on the other hand those same ridiculous purchases might just have come weeks earlier... Wenger will find excuses
for his ineptitude in the transfer market regardless of the deadline date
my problem with AW is that
for years he resisted to buy good
players because of a million or two difference from asking
price today's market those
players are worth triple, we could of had a great team with possibly wining the EPL twice and possibly semis or final of CL, if he had just spent the money in the bank, Chelsea are in dept around 850 Million pounds (possible the bulk to Abromovich) and same
for Man - United and few more, we are the only club that is cash rich with funds available around hidden 350 million and more accumulating every season, how i know this because i look at their end of year accounts outgoings and income there is around 100 to 120 million less outgoings then income, we can easily spend 700 Million in the summer and we will be well in with FFP rules and only have 350m to pay in two years
which we can with bigger and higher sponsorship coming any day now
Are we mad, can nobody sitting on the arsenal board see we as a club are in decline,
prices for players are going up up up, surely it would be wise to invest on 3/4
players now before wenger leaves the club and keep our good
players, in 18 months time I can see defenders going
for a hundred million, midfielders
for hundred and fifty, and strikers
for 200 million, in the long term it will cost arsenal more
for players, fans will stop going to games
which is evident now, and season ticket holders will not renew.
Salesian outscored its postseason competition by an average of 38 points per game,
which led to Mellis and his
players answering questions the whole week wondering if they were battle - tested enough
for Price.
However do agree with Stan on one thing, there are better ways to earn Mooney then football, Stan can now sell his shares and walk away with 1.5 billion or more GBP he can generate 10 % return on that money
which is around 150 million GBP while his not earning anything now only the Value of the club is going up and i fear that what with the new
prices and salaries of football
players i can see a decline starting in a few years, so is he good
for us in the future?
They will gain Premier League experience,
which will drive up their
price in future — because when buying
players, Premier League clubs pay a premium
for such
players.
The fact that Madrid have already added some top quality
players to the squad this summer helps Perez, as do the results of the survey on AS,
which clearly shows that the Madrid fans do not think that the
price for Bale should be between 60 and 70 million euros.
Once you in a position where you have a significant profit on the share
price for a
player you can then either cash in your profits and move on to another
player or keep some or all the shares you have as they can still attract more media and performance dividends
which can potentially mean even more profit!
Wenger I have to admit is very clever in the way he manages to do this every year, putting in insulting bids to other clubs that even us arsenal fans know are way under the asking
price so that it looks like an attempt was made, really its just
for show, then he talks in extremes about how signing
players for 25M will result in a football clubs implosion
which is also utter nonsense, the money arsenal have brought in on
player sales alone in recent seasons should merit some reinforcement, let alone the emirates revenue, tv money and sponsorship deals.
A medium or longer term strategy mainly involves identifying
players that you believe have the potential to increase in share
price for whatever reason, perhaps a young
player who is yet to fully establish themselves at a big club or a
player outside the Premier League
which you feel is underrated.
Clearly
price tags and reputations hold no bearing in the Liverpool dressing room, with Dalglish sticking to his policy of choosing the right
players for the right occasion −
which means we could see a few more changes on Saturday, as this fixture is like no other they have experienced so far this season.
Aaron Ramsey has been performing with the English outfit Arsenal since June of 2008
for a
price tag of # 4.8 million
which is an extremely low amount
for a
player who has established himself as one of the most influential figures of the English Premier League club.
The Sun has reported that Sandro would most likely cost around # 70 million,
which is a massive transfer fee
for a left - back — one
which will see the media criticise the club
for spending another big chunk of cash with teams like Manchester City having a ceiling
price for a
player and seemingly make these options work.
Monaco have not responded to Arsenal's latest bid of $ 45m
for Thomas Lemar as they attempt to maintain a show of strength, but internally they have set a
price at
which they would sell the
player.
Whilst this model may have worked in previous years, and in other leagues, such as United's Class of» 92, and Klopp's Dortmund side in the Bundesliga, these models can not be applied to the current world of football, with «hyper - clubs» dominating such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona, all of whom invest heavily in proven
players, or at least extremely promising
players — not looking
for cut -
price bargains such as Coutinho and Sturridge in every deal,
which is wholly unrealistic.
So you get rid of two of your crap
players and get one of our best so whats in it
for us or are you also giving us that 50 ml on top of them because that would be the only way it could happen.Berbs went because he was a shit and carrick well he was much the same.Difference is now we are closing on you and if we can get a striker in january then we will be even closer so why would our guys want to go there.Also with cry baby rooney getting a massive pay rise how long before berbs, giggs, scholes and the rest are knocking at the door.That was a very bad move by mannure your wage structure is about to explode out the door and how are you going to pay
for that.If Bale was to go there i bet he would be looking at least 150k a week
which with rooneys wage rise seems fair.Add to that his
price tag
for buying him and well it looks like it could cost you at lot more than 50 ml.I know if i was his agent i would be saying to mannure if you want himyou have to pay him a wage up there with rooneys.You have shot yourselves in the foot big style with rooney to the point can you now afford to buy any more
players?
The first out of three single -
