United have set a very unrealistic benchamrk with their £50m for AWB.
If they are seriously going to pay £70m for Maguire thsy are upping it again.
If that's the level for top 6 signings Arsenal are ****ed.
He will want close to 200k as well

Arsenal simply can’t afford him, they somehow have no money.
So if Arsenal paid £80m, then that would make a 35% dent in their £231m "savings".
Not sure I'd blow 35% of my savings on an overly-emotional, flaky, inconsistent grasping crybaby who'd have very little resale value by the end of his next deal.
Looks like he's stuck where he is, sulking his way to the bank.
Plus commitment to a further £1m per month in wages, bonuses, taxes and sundry costs...

They had £231 million in their bank account in the most recent accounts.

Good post .
Wan-Bissaka is a 21-year-old right-back with limited experience and no international caps; Zaha is a 26-year-old winger with vast experience and a full international.
My understanding in relation to Liverpool is that there is no interest, partly because they would not want to be seen to be giving any money to Mancester United, and partly because Klopp wants to recruit for other positions in the team.
Be interesting to see if CPFC splash the cash or self-implode if Zaha goes as well
Hmmm.
Arsenal could go for Zaha...
Or they could go after Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth.
Hmmm.
Arsenal could go for Zaha...
-but will pay a massive premium due to the fact Palace are keen to spin the line that they don't need to sell him
-and equally huge wages to top the £130k/wk he's already on
-and get a player who misses ten to fifteen matches per season with muscle strains
-who they'll lose regularly to international duty, thousands of miles away
-who has previously annoyed referees and opponents by falsely claiming they're victimising him
-who has a track record of failing at a big club
-who is a tricky winger and no more, who is easily wound up by opposing fans
Or they could go after Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth.
-who is younger than Zaha
-who is not injury prone
-who would cost less, both in wages and in transfer fees
-who would probably be itching for the opportunity to make a name for himself at a club like Arsenal in a league he's already been a success for Bournemouth in (a little like Andy Robertson maybe)
-who is Scottish, thus ensuring his summers won't be disrupted by things like World Cups or European Championships
-whose reputation for diving hasn't quite reached that of Zaha's yet
-who is more of an all round footballer than the one trick (repeated fifteen times) pony.
I'd take Fraser at the Albion like a shot (not that we'd be in the game to buy him, you understand): I think he's a great footballer and a game changer when he's on the ball.
Have you see this from the normally reliable Swiss ramble ?

Arsenal fans seem to think the owner will be taking money out the club to cover fines in states as well.
He explicitly states that Arsenal have £231 million too.
