    Couldn't agree more. Easily worth 15 million! And relatively young too

    Ok, I remember their first IX costing only £30m last season, they did sign Mandzukic for +20m this season though, but he's a top CF. I agree they will have more money again this season certainly. But it really the problem is of the two clubs of agreeing the value of two players which perhaps would compromise current the fee we've placed on Morgan, rather than AM's financial resources.

    They would be quiet far down the starting order anyways. Especially Turnbull.

    AM have been running the buy low sell high game for much longer than we have.
    If they think Morgan will catch the eye of Barca or Real then I don't think they would bulk at £25m knowing they could make a decent return or at least sell him back to England for a similar value.

    I think a season or two of champions league and the really big guns will be after him

    Not enough, IMO. We can send Toby back to Atletico + sell Morgan for 25m= 26.8m.

    If we only get 10 million from Atletico, we are essentially paying 16.8m for him. That's too much for a CB for a club of our size.

    You guys shouldn't go into business :)

    £15m + Toby and it's a deal.

    Now you're talking my language.

    I'd ask them for more because I think we have some leverage here (Toby seems interested in playing for us, Schneiderlin not particularly interested in playing for them). But yeah, if it came down to it I think I might settle for that.

    Having read tour previous post, I forgot the 1.5m extra. Let's start at 16.5 + Toby.

    (Probably futile as I'm sure he'll be at Arsenal)

    Ok here's my Morgan deal. Assuming Sterling signs for Arsenal, we sell them Morgan, in return, we get the Ox back plus cash! ( no idea what Chambalain is worth)
    Probably will never happen, but over to you Arsene. Deal or No Deal!

    Players will not come to us from the top 6 clubs as they are on at least twice what we would pay. pretty sure even Ox would be on at least 60k a week

    Nobody in their right mind will want The Ox as I have heard he has switched agent to Sterlings....so public chaos will follow him around too. Not something Saints like

    Theo, Ox, Ramsey, Wilshire.... All young players who seem to struggle to play a season. Is this Wenger's regime or just bad luck.

    I'll be interested to see how the first 'youngster' like these gets on, in terms of fitness, after leaving Arsenal.

    A great point, I've often wondered myself. If any of them ever consider leaving, I would like us to be first in the queue. I can only imagine how good wilshere would be in our set up... (Not that we could afford any of them! But a man can dream)

    Koeman (speaking at LMA do last night) says we have had no serious offers for any player. Early days yet, Ron. I wonder if he meant we have had no concrete offers or merely no offer that didn't make us roll around on the floor laughing. :)

    Well my point really was that I wouldn't want to be first in the queue. I'd want someone else to take the gamble.

    I.e., are they all injury prone? Have Arsenal ruined them physically?

    As for players, they're quality but I'd want someone else to check one out first. :)

    Spurs believed to be making a 12 mill bid for Ings (Sky).
