How much should we make Arsenal pay for Wijnaldum after they fail to win the league?

    City will win the league. Arsenal will miss out on it again.

    The fans will call for a proven premier league goal scorer in their midfield seeing as Ox is ****, Walcott is ****, and Ramsey is not doing it for them as often.

    What price tag should we put on Wijnaldum, regardless of who tries to buy him?

    I'd sell for no less than 35m, and only if that money is reinvested.

    Now I'd normally plump for £20m as a start but this lad can walk into most top 4 teams right now so bidding should start at £25m.
    I hope he gives us one more season before he goes.

    A Dutch guy on holiday in August told me he was surprised at the amount we paid for Winjaldum......nine goals later he looks a bargain.

    At least £25 million if he continues at this rate.

    The guy has one less goal that Aguero, his the 2nd in the list of top goalscorering midfielders in the PL to Marhrez who takes penalties and is on a stormer of a season. Plus This is Wijnaldum's first season.

    I genuinely believe the guy is a class act, young and will still improve. If another team wanna buy him I would set an asking price of around £35-40M based on the TV money clubs in england generate.

    Supposidely, the only reason Mike is spending last summer and this transfer window is because prices are set to soar! so get some young talented players in, watch prices soar and make a tidy little profit out of them all!

    I can't take the OP seriously to be honest. All three of those players are top quality. I see him more at Man U to be honest. Whoever signs him will be looking at 25m plus if he retains his current form. However lets not get silly we've seen this all before, form tails off etc etc. Remember Tiote.

    What? keep them? I dont get it? why, when we could make a massive profit and remain an adequate team that aims to survive. This isnt the pop industry, we are not in it to entertain people!

    Wij won't be sold this summer regardless of any offers. As others are mentioning, prices will soar and after next season we could be looking at a lot more than £20-25m as long as he keeps the performances up and Ashley will already be thinking along those lines.

    He's not an Arsenal type player, he'd fit in better at either Chelsea, Man Utd or City, although at the latter he'd be behind the likes of De Bruyne and Silva. In the next bracket, Everton would be a good place, Liverpool and Spurs.

    Arsenal like certain types, and I think he'd be stuck out even further on the wing if he went there.

    When Tiote/Sissoko do well it always has a fleeting feel to it. Wijnaldum, like Cabaye, felt like a very good player who occasionally has bad games rather than an average player who occasionally has great ones.

    Honestly I wouldn't even consider any of the amounts you've mentioned. The figure for Berahino is £20M+ and Wij is twice the player. Are any of us surprised he tops the "best buy" list?

    If any club wants Wijnaldum they should be prepared to pay at least £80 million with a 25% sell on fee.

    It's 40m easy, why would we take 25m when in a poor team he has 9 goals and three assists and we're only just past halfway through the league. He's on course for 15 league goals, that's gerrard/lampard territory.

    He's got 5 years left on his deal. It's 40m easily.

    Type this at work at a ****ty computer. I meant to put 35m. If we can sell Caroll for that then we should be able to sell Wijanldum for that.

    Why are we talking about selling him, we don't need the money, even though we stand to make a huge profit on this lad.
    Looking at the sums being touted about for other players who are not as good, and he hasn't reach his peak yet. I reckon nothing less than 40 million as a starting gambit would suffice.
    Gini is superb.

    If a 30m bid comes in, Ashley wont just snub it.

    I hope he would see sense Tash, MCLaren spoke about building the team around Sissoko. In my opinion Gini is a far superior player and far more consistent.
    If we build the team around anybody it ought to be Gini. The kid is pure class.
    I feel a shift has taken place, and l am not so sure that selling him, even at 30 million plus would be a given anymore.

    I think it's getting to the stage where he would.

    The tv money is so big now 40m isn't much in comparison. In the next three years there will be a breaking up of the "top four" and each year a less fancied team such as Everton, Southampton, Stoke, maybe even us in a few years will finish in the top four, the gap is closing.

    It's exactly why stones, berahino, mane etc didn't move in the summer, big clubs no longer have the financial power they used to because of the tv deal.

    It would be good for the League if Leicester were to win it, but, I suspect that they may fall short.
    Arsenal to finish above them.

    I dunno man. I'm not sure I'm willing to open my heart open again only to allow Ashley to make promises and for us to wake up with a milky pie hole and alone.

    ROFL!
