35 mill for Ox. #forgotwhatwinningfeltlike

Unfortunately that's what squad players are going for these days in this market.

Jonny Evans is likely to go for £30m with 100k wages. Compared to that AOC seems totally reasonable.

Home grown also adds a premium.

No ones paying Evans 100k a week and he'll be a starter wherever he ends up.

I'm hearing in 10mnths time

I heard in 24 hours.

Won't happen now unless Lemar happens. Couple of rumours that a deal has been done for £140m on July 1 2018.

Its all wrapped up apparently for tomorrow with the fee higher than Dembele's. Barca need him now

Southampton fleecing Liverpool if they get 75mill for that centre half. Well played by them. Waited until they got desperate and spunked top price.

 

[Zidane98]

I wouldn't be shocked if they knew Can was leaving, and Ox is the pre-emptive replacement for him in the CM ranks.

Likewise with Milner.

What's your excuse for pogb?

Are you credible though?

Hopefully goes as well as the last player they supposedly fleeced us for which was Sadio Mane.

Stoked with 35m (rising to 40m according to Ornstein) for Ox, squad player sold for our record outgoing fee


Unfortunately aside from that it's chaos at the Gunners. Club brief Ornstein that we have no money to spend and no replacement for Ox is lined up, we are holding onto Sanchez unless a replacement (strongly suggested to be Lemar) can be bought before the window closes, with no other incoming's planned.

The "no money" thing sounds ridiculous, however looking at it glass half full it has been explained that our current squad size and ridiculous wage structure is a massive issue and by being cheapskates now we are potentially setting ourselves up for something of a rebuild in 2 years time when Wenger finally leaves. This twitter thread explains it pretty well:

We've had an offer on the table for him around that mark since June.

Juve going to have one last crack at Can but the feeling is he will come over in the next window

Are you sure this time?
I'd sell him now tbh.

 

[Genesis67]

This one pisses me off no end. Arsenal should have been all over this guy.

If we don't sign a CM after letting Krychowiak and Sanches go to mid table/relegation PL clubs, someone's head has to roll.

Interesting one this. Talk Can is close to agreeing a new deal although he'll probably want the same 120k wage package as The Ox (and rightly so). Can't imagine that Juve will be paying higher wages although anything is possible on a free contract. He's definitely in some good form right now on the pitch.

Juve to miss out on their target by being cheapskates again? Not the first time that's happened.

LFC have been cheapskates with Can' s new deal. Believe our last offer was an 80k package (60k + 20k in bonuses weekly
y).

We have just given the ox a total wage package of 120k / week. Can will be expecting the same offer on his deal and rightly so.

Off to West Brom and West Ham arent they?

If you give Ox 120k then Can (even though I don't rate him that highly) should be on 200.

English tax at work. Sigh.

 

[ADL9798]

Whatever role he ends up playing for us, if both Klopp and Conte saw enough in Ox to think that he was worth £35m, then that's good enough for me.

 

[Zidane98]

I think the ox is actually not a bad transfer at all. 5-10m over priced but just the sort of player you need in your squad with a season of potentially 60 games plus.

Good example is last season in January. He would have been real handy when we had Mane away, Cout & Lallana both out and the rest of the squad knackered.

What price for making a kids dream come true?

While I agree with you, that's essentially what he's been at Arsenal, and apparently, that's not what he wants. Clearly someone has promised him CM time, and he's been reasonable there on the few occasions Wenger played him in central midfield. But I'll be curious to see what he does when he's not a starting CM every week at Liverpool.

£120k pw apparently!
