trophyshy 7066 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Deterrent to what man? We're getting buttfucked by Mike Ashley, what difference does it make if Arsenal steal our knickers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4086 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I get your point but It would still sting for some reason. You just dont get used to being ripped off. At least know we know what the likes of Montpellier feel like when we come in with bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 £11m according to the Mail, and £7.9m say the Metro. Wonder which one will be believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Are you really arguing about this? Every paper in the country is reporting Debuchy to Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Can't see Ashley selling him so cheap, there must be something else in it for him to do that. Much as I hate Ashley, he's no mug when it comes to selling and dealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Might have something like a cheap release clause for a Champions League club. I hope so, puzzles me how we can push for £25M for Andy Carroll and yet some players we let go with a whimper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I hope so, puzzles me how we can push for £25M for Andy Carroll and yet some players we let go with a whimper. Who did you have in mind that we've let go on a whimper? Cabaye went on strike, Ba had a release clause and the rest have been fringe players. Cabaye - 18m Perch - 700k Ba - 7.5m Forester - 2m Best - 3m Nolan - 3.5m Carroll - 35m We dont keep player who want to leave, which I guess is how we get people to sign up to 6 year contracts. Debuchy will leave, but he wont be missed. Santon can play right back and haidara left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy 12 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The proof in the pudding will be in the eating. How many times was Tiote off and otehr players by speculation? If Debuchy wants out, it's a shame but I don't want players who are unhappy. I want focused players who want to play for the club and are proud to wear the shirt. Having said that, I'll believe he's left when I see him holding up another clubs shirt. He's 28, in his prime and nturally will be a target for the bigger clubs, especially those playing in the champions league, plus bigger wages. I hope the rumours are just that, as you can't trust the media in most cases for the absolute truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 29 in less than a month. £11-12m for him would be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4669 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Very meh about this. He's had a handful of decent games but mostly has been very average with quite a lot of Shit games as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Decent for a selling club's greedy owner. Selling players during their best years isn't decent. Except in this situation the player himself is (unsurprisingly) desperate to leave. No, we don't have to sell him, but he wants to see out his peak years at a club playing Champions League football and competing for trophies. Hard to stand in his way, or to want to keep a player whose heart isn't really in it. Not sure that makes us a selling club. We didn't sell Cabaye after the first bid or two, did we?

Oh so because we didn't just accept the first derisory bid we're not a selling club? There's a trend emerging where we sell our best players. Said players wanting to leave is because we're a selling club. A vicious circle, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is more that dont replace them properly. Cabella and Grenier are both available for a reasonable price, but we half arse around rather than getting them in before pre-season training starts!
