I mean £75-90 million fits our business model, Adingra is waiting in the wings for his preferred position. But what an absolute waste if he did go to Saudi Arabia. I'd be genuinely sad to see such a great player like him just get lost in such a footballing backwater.

Will be hard to turn down £90m if he wants to go

As an aside, Trossard will be fuming about this if true, I imagine a move like this for the incredible sulk would be right up his street

Which is funny, as I'm pretty sure if a Saudi club offered £25 million for Trossard, Arsenal would be booking an Uber to run him straight to Heathrow, and never mind what he thinks about the deal :lol:

He earns £1m a year with us.
How much more money do people need for it to be Life changing?
For the club on the other hand, a £60m or more profit with Adingra ready to step in might be tempting

Does he? Surprised that information is out there in BS world

Actually, don't sell him. Don't get Rashford.

Uh_huh_him · 2025-01-30T18:12:22+0000

If he wants to go, then anything north of £75m is a very good fee.

I hope he doesn't, as he's simply irreplaceable.

I hope not for him. If it was a Champions League team offering anywhere near that I would accept that Kaoru may well want to test himself at that level, and he'd go with my best wishes. But he really shouldn't be stepping away from top level football at his age, regardless of money.

And therein lies the problem. These things can never be regardless of money.

I suspect his salary is a lot more than £1m a year. The average for the first team is around 60K a week I’m guessing he’s on around £3m a year having signed his new contract last season.

In other news, drunken @jackalbion post goes viral!!

If he is on 20k he needs a new agent.

Osman is also hoped to be a future replacement for wide left. Could he be recalled from his loan from Feyenoord?

Mr deez · 2025-01-30T18:17:50+0000

His credibility at home surely drops with this move also.

The Fits · 2025-01-30T18:19:47+0000

I don’t want to see him leave but the man for the left should be Joao Pedro. He’d benefit from the width imho and often likes to drift out there. Allows Rutter to play centrally.

dwayne · 2025-01-30T18:21:54+0000

So we will know by tomorrow then.... At least it won't go on forever like caciedo

The Fits · 2025-01-30T18:21:55+0000

Saudi league’s window ends tomorrow I think so at least it won’t drag on over the weekend.

And as others have said, potentially Osman or Barco could fill Adingra’s back-up left wing role.

The business case is pretty overwhelming at those figures.

What time? I going to literally be counting this down with everything crossed hoping he stays.

And there's the truth nobody (including me) wants to hear. If we accepted that offer, and Kaoru wanted to go, it may mean we keep Joao Pedro, Georginio and/or Baleba for a bit longer :down:

Yer as I said earlier its fairly likely arsenal or some such will come in anyway in the summer at 30 odd million. That would be more annoying. I would rather mitoma took the money and didn't go to some irritating top 6 club.
