Robornio 107 Posted July 21, 2021 I saw that they’re offering money plus players in the deal. That’s bad for us, as we don’t get anything from 15% of a player. Arsenal just don’t have the resources they once did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're spending £50m on Ben White, so they could have afforded Buendia, but decided Norwich's asking price was too high and so another club bought him. A little bit like what's happening with ourselves and Ajer: we can afford him, but the price quoted is more than we're prepared to pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 2,835 Posted July 21, 2021 I believe Arsenal *did* match Villa's bid for Buendia, but were heavily weighting the payments to later dates where we were insistent on more up front. That and the man himself preferred Villa (and the £20m+ they were willing to pay him). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed accordng to the rumours on the grapevine as soon as Arsenal showed interest in him Maddison has gone back to his 'I'm a big guy, massive player better than this club hello ladies whats your number' which is a shame given how much he improved with us and his atttude was better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluefloyd 58 Posted July 21, 2021 Arsenal big enough and in need enough to be linked with anyone with two legs and a pulse. Reality is they will waste a shed load on some overpriced muppet due to their name rather than overall ability. Would have preferred EB to have gone there though, wholly more palatable for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tricky974 61 Posted July 21, 2021 Apparently they really want him and are offering cash plus Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would genuinely accept this if I was in charge at Leicester. As good as Maddison is, I don't think he's that integral to how good they are overall and how they play, and I think Nelson and Maitland-Niles would flourish at Leicester.

sgncfc 1,228 Posted July 21, 2021 It's a real shame that his big time charlie attitude has stifled his development. He should have been playing for England in the Euro's this summer, and we would have been a better team with an on form Maddison in it. Surprised that Arsenal want such a player, given their history with the likes of Guendouzi and Lacazette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the people who draft these contracts are competent enough to allow for this possibility snd factor in the value of those players in any sell on clauses? If not then frankly they are not very good at their jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
