"Striker Michael Frey is also close to agreeing a new contract with the club. Paul Smyth was offered a new deal but has so far not signed." From WLS. Why are we giving Frey a new contract? He's old! And not that great. I wonder why PS has not signed.
I imagine Smyth hasn’t signed because there are so many players ahead of him in the pecking order. Dembele, Poku, Chair, Kolli, Bennie, Sutton, Vale…and still rumours that we want Saito back or perhaps another wide player. Frey gives us the option not to play Celar if Burrell and Kone aren’t available.
He was signed cheap when we were scrabbling around for players- it was suggested at the time he took a pay cut to come to us. Probably fancies his chances of doing better elsewhere with a half decent season here or proving he’s worth more to us. Not that he’s a spectacular player by any means but it must grate a bit when you know your teammate is on multiple times what you are and is contributing **** all.
Looks like he's on his way... https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-fc-eze-crystal-palace-latest-b1244009.html
Deal done and we are 10 million richer...good bit of business there considering we all £10 million richer, so have made just over £27 million in total from selling him.
Not sure its 10 large Dave Its 15% of the 'profit', so there will have been a lot of cooking going on down at Selhurst Park to cut that down to 6 or less
Nice bit of profit and Levy left with egg on his face, a perfect hijack... Let's see if we can hijack Saito...
