Up the Arse! Goons Thread

I'm terrible at maths, do you know how much that would make Khedira on per week roughly?

Depends on whether it's before or after tax.

It's either ~106k/week or ~194k/week in pounds. I think the article says 7m net so that'd be ~194k

 

[Benno_900]

Bullshit.

I refuse to believe that.

7 million euros, not 7 million pounds. According to arseblog if you do the conversion it's 106k a week in pounds. Apparently the problem is that Khedira wants 106k a week after tax, so his actual wage would be need to be higher and that's the sticking point of negotiations.

 

[Benno_900]

I would be mighty pissed if we were paying Khedira more than Ozil and Sanchez and even Ramsey.

He is a 27 yr old, injury-prone player. Sorry to be a downer but he is not even worth 100k+ pounds a week let alone 200k.

Why don't we go after bender instead?

 

[Benno_900]

Either Wenger knowing this is his last contract is going all out to win trophies by signing the 'name' players
or
Somebody higher up is starting to influence our transfers

Either way, it's not my money so I'd be excited with the big name signing. However we don't have unlimited funds like City/Chelsea. If it doesn't work out for them, they'd just shrug their shoulders and spend elsewhere. If it doesn't work for us, it would discourage us from doing similar deals in the future.

This Khedira one is very fishy. Not a signing Wenger would make.

Yeah, that's along the lines of where I was going. He wants ~106k pounds net income, so his gross income, before tax, would be around ~190k. Which is an absurd amount.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Yeah I don't like the khedira one too much either very un wenger like I think people from higher above are taking the reigns in these situations and just getting them to sign im not complanng though we will give the title a serious push next season hopefully we can get Remy too it will be an amazing window if this happens.

 

[Curunir]

Either way we will need to sign a DM if we are serious about winning the title. Lars Bender is the next obvious choice however I think he is happy to stay in Germany and doesn't want to go.

what about angel di maria ? is he an option for us ? seems to want a new home , and he doesnt want man u by the goss

We wanted him last time, but they only agreed to Ozil. Pretty sure we won't be interested in him anymore after signing Sanchez.

 

[Shoei]

There's no way we'd sign Di Maria without letting someone like Cazorla go (which honestly i'd do that swap in a heartbeat).

Wenger has always stated that once the money is available he'd have no problems spending it.

What we are seeing is now the reward for all the hard work being put in over the last decade beginning to pay off.

Leverkeusen don't want to sell

 

[lewdogs]

Debuchy signed. Very good.

[Arsene Wenger]

Debuchy solid signing.

Still keen on Khedira as well.

Just found out likely to be in LDN for work around Emirates Cup. Does this sell out? How hard to get tickets do we think?

 

[Shoei]

Very hard. Sold out both days last year.

Jump on the website now and you MIGHT be able to get a single. Virtually no chance at a double + unless you look for resales before the game.

[Hlebalicious]

Happy with the Debuchy signing, its unusual this transfer period that we are actually signing most of the players we have been heavily linked with.

 

[monty1104]

Very happy with Debuchy.

 

[glenferry23]

Another very smart piece of business. Glad it's done.

Now for Bender, Schneiderlin or Khedira and finalize Ospina and it's been an excellent window.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bienvenue, Mathieu!

 

[Crow-eater]

Happy with Debuchy. Another solid signing. How nice is it to be getting this stuff done so early? Now to get a DM and a GK (Likely Ospina from all reports) before the season, and we'll be in good shape.

 

[Shoei]

If we did manage to sign - Sanchez, Debuchy, one of (Bender, Schneiderlin or Khedira) and Ospina i'd be very very happy.

If we added someone like Remy, Javier Manquillo on loan and another CB.....
