Seymour Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I think there's a decent chance we'll get Perez still, Arsenal don't need him and the prices even seemed in the Mike Ashley range. Hopefully we're just trying to shift players to make space for a couple. I think we have waited and waited for players to leave and given lack of time gone for the cheaper option tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would quite like Wilshere. It is a punt based on his injury record but without his injury record we wouldn't be able to sign him. It is a punt but a worthwhile one as without Shelvey we have less creativity than a North Korean battle plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see many teams stumping up that. From that Daily Mail article: Lucas Perez, the striker available from Arsenal at £20m, is out of the question, even before wages are discussed. It would take a huge change over the last three weeks of the transfer window for that deal to get done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 "Caballero was a free agent, so Benitez didn’t anticipate problems getting the first-class keeper he wanted. The Argentine agreed wages and was looking forward to playing regularly." I assumed when that didn't happen that we weren't willing to pay the wages he had been on / what Chelsea were offering. If it's true wages were agreed I can't imagine what we were fucking about with but it's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Looking back the first report I can see is June 2 in the Times. Five days later the Times said he preferred Chelsea to Newcastle. Over a week after that his agent was talking to Goal.com saying it was still up in the air. Now seeing how vocal his agent was to the media and since it sounds like agent fees were the reason Abraham fell through, I'd guess this was the same. The fees being paid to agents is insane and I can understand why we don't want to pay them, but it's the price of doing business these days. It's like Pearl Jam fighting Ticketmaster in the 90s, except Pearl Jam was doing it on principle and trying to change the industry. We are just cheap bastards.

Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm no ashley apologist, he's fucked us this window unnecessarily, but I think he just really hates being fleeced anywhere in his business and sees the drastically rising agent fees of the last few years and thinks fuck that. It's hard not to have some sympathy, I would approve of all agents being shoved out the back of an airplane tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even individual fees as I read it, it's the total cost of each deal and if it's worth it or not.............however we are lead to believe that Rafa has the final say on all this.

To be fair I've seen a bit of him over a few seasons and he's average. I'd much rather Elliott or even Darlow. Missing out on Caballero is nothing to be bothered over. Rafa needs to bring in a striker. Ashley's interview could in fact help him. If clubs think we're skint, they won't be asking for over the odds for players they want off the books.
