If they can get the Alvarez contract right it can be a really good one for us. Atletico are in a bind at the moment. That relationship between Alvarez, the club, and fans is completely broken so they can't possibly expect anyone to pay 150 Mil for him.

Could get him for a lower price hopefully.

Currently the word is he has no interest in returning to England.

We should pivot, or wait until January and go for a kroupi or something.

Looks like our club record sale is imminent.

We're so bad at selling. Chelsea signed Delap for 30M, he was horrendous last year and they sell him for 45M, just below what Martinelli will bring us

Was reading some of the lockerroom didn't like the way he was forced out. I assume the Brazilians, and some others.

60M from a Saudi team is very good business by the saudis

were there any other clubs interested in signing him and at what price tag?

not shocked at all of how bad arsenal has selling players, they’ve been historically bad

this is what chatgpt says about arsenal horrible players sales woes

Buy player ->develop player ->keep player ->player loses role -> loan player -> loan player again -> contract gets close to expiring -> finally sell for peanuts.

I don't disagree with you but we tend not to sell our best players most of the time.

Hell sell Saka, Saliba, or Rice right now and you'll get 150 million. But we won't sell them.

The Reiss Nelson one baffles me tho. Love my dude but it is time to go

Been some X chatter that he has a deal with WHU for a permanent move (from the West Ham journalists).

Saw that, supposedly 3m. I'll take whatever.


But this Alvarez thing is getting ridiculous now with Atleti and Barca doing a fricking PR fight. We should walk away from this. I never get why we twerk so much for certain players.

We need to make our final offer that makes sense for us, not Atleti. If they don't accept, walk away and leave the situation in their hands- unhappy player and fans. They will then be forced to sell Barca or deal with a nightmare environment.

I'm only doing this because people do this for other players.


But he scored 8 league goals. 2 were penalties, 2 were free kicks.


That means he only scored 4 goals from open play.


That's not good enough, he isn't worth this money. He needs to outperform all of our attackers if we are dropping this sort of cash on him.

Agreed. Saka, Madueke, Tzolis, Eze and Dowman are good enough for me.

Seems like Napoli still sniffing around for Jesus. If we can sell Jesus, Nelson, Vieira, and keep Nwaneri, I think we have had a great window with the additions we have already added.

GJ is collecting a check at this point and looks to be happy with that.

CL draw tomorrow.

Also, we got Ipswich away in League cup. Bit of a shite draw, but we had a good one last year

He’s a top level player in the right system. Atleti doesn’t fit his skillset. I think he would do well here however I don’t want to spend crazy $ either.

Reiss Nelson has agreed a deal with Arsenal to terminate his contract by mutual consent.

Nelson is attracting interest from clubs in England and overseas but plans to thoroughly assess his options before making a decision on his future. The Athletic reported earlier this month that West Ham United and Arsenal had held talks over a deal for Nelson.

Probably gonna get paid off the last year of his salary. West Ham couldn't pay him a signing bonus to offset the last year of his Arsenal salary. 5.2 million pounds. 100k a week.

So he takes that in full or at least part of it and then now he can sign for someone else and get a new contract for say 25k a week and still make the same he would have at arsenal.

Such a shame. This dude was the original starboy. injuries and attitude early on wrecked him and Smith Rowe
