et tu brute Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jaqen said: We'd be stupid to agree to 3 years mind. Im not sure what he's got to be worried about on a long term deal to be honest. He covers himself if things go tits up and if he performs well we'll undoubtedly be looking to sell him on. If the deal here goes sour, looks like he will be getting a lot of bench time as no other club seems interested at the price. Looks like Arteta wants to utilise the cash also as it’s obvious he doesn’t want him. Maybe a last minute loan deal to one of the bottom half clubs or abroad to try and get the cash deal next summer. Just have to wait and see I suppose as Ashley won’t agree to demands if he thinks they’re too high. Edited August 12, 2021 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if Arsenal have put a sell on % to any future sale as that would cause a massive issue with any release clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, but if Willock (or his agent) is wanting to keep the release clause relatively low, then that's when the issues occur. Just can't see Ashley accepting that.

Dokko Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 End of the day he's not getting £60kpw, a low release clause and a 3 year deal, not when we're paying the thick end of £25m for him. I don't see any other team doing so either and this may be why other clubs just haven't bothered with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Typical NUFC to do things absolutely arse first as usual. Standard practice these days personal terms are agreed then the clubs thrash it out, not us, ooohhhhhhh no. Fucking idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Ironically we’ve done it the way clubs are supposed to do it but never do. We do things to the letter when it suits us basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 This will be left until the last minute to ensure the jubilation of signing him clouds the fact we're worse than we were at the end of last season. The club suck the fun out of absolutely everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 14 minutes ago, Ben said: If I was a top player I would want at least one free transfer to try and maximise my singing on fee He’s not a top player atm. If he has a leg break, he’s toast (financially). 4/5 year contract. £50m release clause, higher if Arsenal have sell-one. First team wages. I think is fair for all parties. if he does well here, we’ll look to sell him anyway. The club sees itself as a stepping stone. he would be a fool to stay at Arsenal imo. Maybe a loan would be in his best interests if he thinks he can outlast Arteta but I’m sure Arsenal are demanding a sale. A poor 12 months and his value is entirely destroyed.

Every transfer fee had to be announced for the shareholders. Remember Shepherd taking particular delight at announcing Damien Duff only cost £5m.
