I don’t see the point in Arsenal signing Madueke personally, but if he goes there he’ll get minutes ahead of EN. At least until Arteta cuts yet another expensive purchase out of the squad.
Not comparing, just got me thinking, what did Ipswich pay for Hutchinson and Pilogene? I know it was about £16m on Delap, big sell on and relatively low release clause though.
Might be just my impression,and us fans never really get to know the details of a deal,but we seem to be willing to spend around £20m each or so to recruit these players. That seems to be the market we want to operate in,to sustain our model. As I say,we don't know how any of these deals are structured. Most of us thought we would need to add 7 or 8 or so to the squad.....so,averaging out...let's say £150m. However,deducting the sales of Tommy and Jobe,together with whatever we can get from the 10 or so who will surely leave this summer....we might be looking at a net outlay of somewhere close to £100m,which could be payable in instalments over 3 or 4 years?
Nothing would shock me now We clearly have a lot more to spend than people think there’s a reason we didn’t spend much for years while out of the PL. The hierarchy are not stupid
GK (Petrovic) CB x2 (Cresswell, NEW) RB DM LW ST (Abline/Mikautadze) That’d do me. Obviously not accounting for any replacements if someone leaves
I really don't rate madueke at all, although Nwaneri still has a ways to go. Like you say would be odd.
I don't understand Chelsea selling Madueke to be honest. He's good enough for them and still has plenty of potential growth in him.
I expect it depends, to a degree, on who we sell. If it was Patterson and Dan Neil that's money straight into the club … … but there’s still the likes of Ekwah, Triantis, whoever, etc to add in plus SCs, sponsors, etc.
Yes, as that’s what we need haha Premier League is no joke! We’ve also been linked with a player for each of those positions so club must see it too
Nwaneri is an interesting one as they've been linked with a couple of wingers and he's holding off signing a new deal as he wants to know what's best for his development. I reckon he will sign a new deal with them but wonder if we could tempt them with a loan to play week in week out Either would be class on loan, I reckon if we loaned Bobb we could a buy option at the end of it as well
No point speculating what we have to spend and what we will at this stage. If this crazy 2 week ride has shown us anything it’s that we know **** all
Think I'm in the minority but think madueke may be a good signing for arsenal, think he would play him LW and open the pitch up for them Nwaneri a tough one unbelievable talent but don't see him as a winger long term
