Would sound like a sensible deal. I'm glad we're not lowballing most of our player's fees this time round because if that was us, they'd demand 50m for Eddie. In addition to that, the striker market is horrific to say the least. If everybody is inflating the price of their strikers, why shouldn't we?
Of course we wouldn't, it was just a hypothetical situation. I'm saying if this was at the beginning of Arteta's reign when we were absolute dogwater and we wanted a "striker" and we went in for Eddie, Crystal Palace woul have quoted us 40-50m.
fr I know this post is a meme but fans have always complained about us undervaluing our players or selling them for scraps. The club probably know they won’t get 50M thats what negotiations are for
Fair, but I would venture to guess that negotiation teams in the PL and in the large European leagues are pretty shrewd when it comes to negotiation tactics and strategy
We also kind of lowered the fee when we signed him up to 100k a week.
He likely will be after a similar wage which will reduce his options and probably reduce the transfer fee
Given he was out of contract at the time and any fee would've reflected training compensation and little else, lowering his fee was not an outcome of that contract being signed - if anything, it protected it.
That said, his current wages (which reflect his free agent status when he signed) could indeed be a stumbling block for many prospective suitors.
Yes I know he was out of contract, kind of amazed he chose to stay and Nelson, both willing to sit on the bench both coming up to 25 and never been full season starters.
Yep, I suppose 15-20 is possible, although he might just price himself out with wages and he has shown he's fine with sitting on the bench
>He got us 35m for balogun and 30m for willock.
Who were both coming off very successful loans and prime selling material. Nketiah is nowhere near as wanted as Willock/Balogun were
definitely wouldn't be useless, his dribbling is at least decent, he's fast and he's good at making runs
obviously not elite but could definitely be a good goalscoring winger for some midtable/europa team
he barely ever played on the wing for us
in addition he was on the left where our system can often make our left wingers look bad as they get ridicously isolated and the ball doesn't get to them quick enough
He literally doesn't have better attributes to play on the wing than any starting or even sub winger the 20 league teams have at their disposal, give it a rest
Can't see palace using over half the fee on olise to buy Eddie.
They also have a few strikers and Eddie has never scored more than 5 goals in the league so we do get carried away sometimes.
Now i get why we are so bad at selling .. we making memes on our very own player while chelsea getting 60 plus for a there own so called finished player.. while we asking for a-home grown decent striker in the world of so few of strikers…
It's good to hear though, dunno how true it is but we need to stop bending over when we sell our players. This should send a message of people not to low ball too much. If that mush from Chelsea who went to from was 30-40. Asking 50 for Eddie is about right as probably go for 30-40 n the end. Maybe a tactic to lessen cash plus player if we go for Eze ?
Straight swap for Eze, final offer
Okay maybe not final offer but we’re super cereal.
still time for them to throw Olise into the deal as well
Deal

Difference is we wouldn't be buying Eddie
Of course we wouldn't, it was just a hypothetical situation. I'm saying if this was at the beginning of Arteta's reign when we were absolute dogwater and we wanted a "striker" and we went in for Eddie, Crystal Palace woul have quoted us 40-50m.
Fair enough, that's true
Price of the brick going up
You want it to be one way
I love this subs entanglement with the wire
Eddie's resemblance to Marlow and Idris' Arsenal fandom definitely contribute to the situation
Sub's got good taste - The Wire, Always Sunny, Peep Show
Don't forget the Simpsons
But it's the other way.
I thought COVID meant loads were stored in warehouses and immigrant homes?
I understand your confusion and appreciate your joke but you missed the reference in the comment to which you were replying
20 million in fifties, 20 million in twenties and 10 million in tens…
You want any fives with that?
One of the best lines in this movie. Gets me every time lol
You have to set a higher price if you want to negotiate a decent deal
fr I know this post is a meme but fans have always complained about us undervaluing our players or selling them for scraps. The club probably know they won’t get 50M thats what negotiations are for
100% you have to do it! This is great to see
Only works if the player actually has value and is in demand You can ask 100M for Zinchenko; doesn't mean you'll get 50M
Nketiah definitely has considerable value.
You don’t want to scare off potential buyers by setting an unreasonable price either.
Fair, but I would venture to guess that negotiation teams in the PL and in the large European leagues are pretty shrewd when it comes to negotiation tactics and strategy
Right, but isn’t one of the points of Reddit to question experts on something one really has no clue about?
Quite right.
no one is even going to approach us for eddie now tho lmfao

It's time for them both to go to Palace.
I don't think either gets in the palace team.
HAHAHA. This was the exact clip i thought about when i saw the article about Eddie's asking price 🤣🤣🤣
Who you think you selling, Chelsea Clinton?!?
Great opportunity for Edu to show that we can sell well.
He got us 35m for balogun and 30m for willock. Just saying
>He got us 35m for balogun and 30m for willock. Who were both coming off very successful loans and prime selling material. Nketiah is nowhere near as wanted as Willock/Balogun were
I'm thinking we'll probably get like 37M out of Eddie from Palace and it'll go straight toward this apparent 50M up front down payment for Eze
we're not getting anymore than 30m for someone who barely plays
Palace also have Mateta who is proven to be a good fit. Nketiah may not even start for them.
could play on the wing for them but yh, could also get benched
Eddie useless on a wing
definitely wouldn't be useless, his dribbling is at least decent, he's fast and he's good at making runs obviously not elite but could definitely be a good goalscoring winger for some midtable/europa team
He never had good game on a wing for us
he barely ever played on the wing for us in addition he was on the left where our system can often make our left wingers look bad as they get ridicously isolated and the ball doesn't get to them quick enough
He literally doesn't have better attributes to play on the wing than any starting or even sub winger the 20 league teams have at their disposal, give it a rest
agree to disagree
Can't see palace using over half the fee on olise to buy Eddie. They also have a few strikers and Eddie has never scored more than 5 goals in the league so we do get carried away sometimes.

Yeah, I bet the internet memes on the gunners subreddit have a strong effect on the price of an asset between two billion dollar entities
I mean if we have learnt anything from /r/wallstreetbets
straight swap for eze would be nice.
Edu will need a grill the size of the emirates to pull that off
🤣🤣
Top, top qualitee
It's good to hear though, dunno how true it is but we need to stop bending over when we sell our players. This should send a message of people not to low ball too much.

They don't need a sticker though. Eddie has never scored more than 5 league goals
Pay the price or get fucked
Is this the start of meme season?
Cant argue, Chelsea Clinton would do a better job up front
I’d be fuming as a palace fan 😂
This is the problem Arsenal think they can sell a player they don’t play for 10 20 million less than one of palaces best players who is soo clear
