Not at all as he’s already made it crystal clear he’s signing
Im not surprised at 200k a week lmao.
Soldato
Crazy right?
Just a bit.
Caporegime
What’s so crazy about it?
Soldato
Was the likes of mane, sala, Foden, mahrez etc earning 200k plus?
Caporegime
Mane and Salah were not as highly rated at 21 as Martinelli is and they was both 21 over 10 years ago. Foden is currently in negotiations and will soon be on close to £200k a week and Mahrez was unknown when he was 21.
if we dont pay him as you seem to think hes not worth it please tell us who we could sign to replace him at a similar level and then tell me how much he'd cost in transfer fee

Please tell me what these young players have won at arsenal vs the likes of Foden etc who ain't on 200k...if we dont pay him as you seem to think hes not worth it please tell us who we could sign to replace him at a similar level and then tell me how much he'd cost in transfer fee
Absolutely stupid for arsenal to offer salary that not even some players who have won titles and champions league don't earn.
Have we seriously not learned from ozil and Co...
Comical if we all of a sudden give them all 200k above wages before they have even achieved or at least competed for the title and CL trophies in a full season or two
so if we dont tie them down how much you think Real Madrid/PSG will pay them because they will snap them up in a heartbeat
Soldato
Doesn't matter about age. What matters is how good they are and what they have achieved.
And let's just say mane and Co have achieved a heck of a lot earning nowhere near 200k in doing it which is my point...
Same with city, city don't have much on 200k if I'm not mistaken and well there trophy cabinet over the last decade speaks for itself
Soldato
Dont think they would offer 200k per week, but those clubs are more than likely to compete for the highest trophies while arsenal won't (don't count just half a season...)
Sorry I personally don't agree with us giving any of our players 200k unless they prove they are good enough to compete for top honours in a season.
Look, if we win the league, yes give them 200k but now? Lmao madness they can easily turn off like ozil and abameyang and because there young, there career won't be in tatters and they will have plenty of opportunity to leave us
You would 100% be the first complaining if they didn't offer them big contracts and they left cheaply, leaving Arsenal in the same position that have been for the past several years.
Soldato
Wrong.
First of all, they wont get let go for cheap and 2nd of all. they have sweet FA and dont even lick the boots of the likes of Foden , salah etc who all been there and won stuff.
Sorry but i dont want a repeat of Ozil and Aubameyang
You're weirdly unsupportive of your own players. The issue with the times of Ozil and Aubameyang was absolutely no planning, or cohesive squad planning - It's quite obvious the club has a plan in place, and has certain players it wants to build around. But you for some reason would rather not pay the players the wages, and go back to square one and need someone to build around again?
It really is quite bizarre seeing a fan actively wanting his club to not compete at the top.
The Ozil / Auba situations are so different but he doesn't seem able to understand that.

You fail to understand how the likes of City and Liverpool have built there team. Especially Liverpool.
Did they offer all there key players 200k plus before they competed for top honours?
And how is ozil and abameyang different? We also wanted to build a team around them...
Sorry but I disagree in giving saka and co stupid contracts when they have not proved they can tussle with the city's and the real Madrid of club football (domestically and in Europe)
For me it's all about proving first and earning the rights for top money after...
Also, what money do we use to pay all these players 200k...
We don't have champions league football money yet and who's to say that we will get champions league football next year?
We've played only 15 games ffs....
What's wrong with waiting until its proven that we went toe to toe with city for a whole season and got that champions league spot?
