It has been basically confirmed, it just needs to be made official.

So we just make terrible signings & then reward them by paying them to leave(or give new contract to a certain plodder)

Club is being run by inept clowns

I know. Just tagged you to instigate.

He didnt decline that quick mate

Once Özil got his new contract that was pretty much it. Still nothing near this ****burger of a Willian transfer.

The only thing I can think of that is positive is that Edu and Arteta seem to have learned from it and have changed tack and are getting young and hungry players in. At least if they don’t fit we can shift them on.

Older players on high wages you cannot move on. Period!

Tbf I don't think it has anything to do with managers. It's related to inflated wages. Assume a 31 years old contracted to a club until he is 33 years old. Player's wages in the past meant that the contract they win after 33 is crucial to achieve their financial goals. So they have to work hard and prove that they are still worth it. Players were trying to extend their careers as much as possible until their bodies completely gave away.

The current wages of over 200K per week for certain players means that they are totally happy to retire even at 33. Their future contracts don't even matter. So once they land their bumper contract, they already go into the retirement mode with some exceptions like Ronaldo, Messi. Chelsea already adapted to it by establishing a strict "no contract longer than 2 years for over 30s". Other clubs should follow that path soon.

100% agree! These wages make players act very differently once they hit a certain age. Over 30 they should need to earn every new year’s paycheck. Only way to ensure **** like this doesn’t happen.

No Willian dad when your son played he stink on the pitch and manager kept faith on him despite the calls of dropping him.

Mikel can’t catch a break.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

This is how a player and their entourage act once they have all the cards. The club in this case dealt away any cards they had to play once that contract was signed.

 

[Oxeki]

How much did we pay him to leave?

Wenger at some point stopped offering long contracts to players 30+

 

[IstraBalagina]

Played well

 

[A_G]

What Corinthians fans are going to Chris Wheatley for their transfer news?

 

[Blankety Blank]

How come this is confirmed, Wishful thinking!!
If hid Dad says he has offers from Europe surely he takes b4 heading to Brazil?

Think the Lucas T exit is closer as reports are he has a medical in Italy 2moro

I don't think so. Didn't we sign Cech on a 4 year contract when he was 32 years old?

 

[Tom Mix]

This is, financially, the worst signing in the history of Arsenal FC. All those involved in it should never work for the club again.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Subsidizing him for 2 years, we've done it again.

Oh well, at least he's gone.

 

[Macho]

To be fair to Willian he was sold the CL 3 year plan. I am willing to bet that Aubameyang is equally disgruntled behind the scenes.

Actually hilarious. Comes here to win the CL and we finish 8th while his old club win it straight away
