    Thoughts are.... Arsenal FC is worth apparently about £2bn.

    Thierry Henry is apparently worth about £130m.

    Token story.

    its all real - but my question is will the Kroenkes sell? I really dont think they would. Not getting my hopes up just yet.

    They've said they don't want to sell

    I love it that Henry, Bergkamp and Vieira are involved, but what does Daniel Ek bring to the table ?

    Ha yeah there is that. I want to know what his strategy for running the club is though, rather than be dazzled by the Henrty/Bergkamp/Vieira trio.

    I think Bergkamp could make a really good boss one day, we was great as an assistant at Ajax, but both Henry and Vieira have pretty much tanked as coaches at the clubs they’ve been at.

    Not sure how all the pieces of this proposed jigsaw puzzle are supposed to fit together ....?

    Just because they are fronting the take over bid does not mean they will have or want to have input in the day to day jobs.. Prob just have a position on the bored and have an input when making decisions

    To echo @white_gunner 's sentiments, what does this fella bring to the table. My concerns centres around whether this consortium are not looking at Arsenal as a cash cow, not out of a genuine love for the club but just pure business and money making, which would not be too dissimilar to the Kroenke's! I am not expecting the dirty oil money of citeh or PSG and Abramovich's billions, but something in between would be nice!

    Over quicker than the Super Dooper League.

    Unlucky lads. Was looking forward to "Arsenal number one" and "Our goal" popping up at the top of my playlist every day.

    To be honest, it looked like a pipe dream from the start

    He's worth £4.8 billion right now. Im sure he could secure the funds.

    I like the sound of it to be honest.
    • He's an Arsenal fan.
    • Seems more in touch with the modern game and fans.
    I think with the league position of the Club, the fact we've made a loss for the last two Seasons the Clubs worth is currently should be down.

    Anyone wanting to sell anything states that they don’t want to sell or have no intention to sell.
    rule number 1 of business.

    Ek has “secured” funds so will make a bid, it will be rejected by Kronke as he will expect it to be a sighter. Ek will then have to make a higher bid and fingers crossed Kronke will accept
