DCJonah Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 10 minutes ago, RichiBoi11 said: Just to echo a few posters already, ESR's agent must be indicating he wants, or is at the very least, is interested in the move. Our management don't strike me as the kind to just continually bid of a player if they haven't got a good chance of getting them. I'm sure arsenal don't want to sell, but someone is clearly still indicating to us that a deal is there to be done. 100% this. He clearly isn't getting the contract he wanted. So arsenal either give him what he wants or they'll have to seriously consider our offer. Because allowing him to only have 12 months left next summer could be a disaster for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for that reason, I’m out! Arsenal either give him the deal he wants. Sell him to a club like us, or potentially see him leave for less money next summer or for free the following year. They're a club that seem to consistently make bad decisions over these last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t give a damn about what Arsenal fans or football world think about him. Edited June 28, 2021 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 This is the club that sold Emi Martinez for £20m and sacked the mascot in order to give Willian ALL THE MONEY. Nothing they do should surprise anyone. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
string28 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The fact its only one person reporting it makes me think we havent even made a bid for ESR. Sounds like agent trying to get more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wict01 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Part of me thinks this is purely to just piss Arsenal off, and even if that is all it is, I'm 100% here for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 There’s no sentiment in football - this is about money. We have it and Arsenal need it. We may not be successful but I admire the ruthlessness of attempting to extract a boyhood arsenal prodigy from arsenal - because we’ve got the cash and the smarts to do so.

Dean Smith's side saw an opening offer of £25million rejected for the talented Englishman, who has two years remaining on his contract at the Emirates. Villa's fresh offer comes amid intense speculation that Jack Grealish could seal a £100million move to Manchester City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 They’ve gone and made a deal with Brighton for Ben White and tried to pay in annual instalments of £1m for the next 50 years. Seems to me we’re gonna do them a favour by paying cash upfront for a young kid so they can meet their responsibilities. We used to sponsor Acorns, now we sponsor Arsenal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
