Linked to him under Bruce, but we splashed out entire budget on Willock instead and Cajuste moved elsewhere. Was linked to Leeds and Brentford too at the time.

I doubt he will ever leave Arsenal period. If he does it will be to a Barca or Real Madrid, still I don't even see that. Going to be a club legend at Arsenal as part of that young core that are already looking like they will be competing on all fronts going forward. The idea that we will poach him because of our financial muscle at some point is just fanciful stuff. Bit early for that pronouncement like, he’s only just getting started and he’s really young.

Him throwing away the opportunity to go down as one of the greatest players in that clubs history because some other Prem club has thrown more money at him would be a horrendous move on his part, and it would sever all his ties at Arsenal.

Astroblack Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hope he doesn’t leave but you just never know with City sniffing around. Don’t think Arteta is even a lock. Could see him as Pep’s replacement should he decide to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably stay for the next two or three years at least. Then a lot will depend on whether City get done for cheating. Arsenal look in a really good place, with a young squad that's only going to get better. If the FA manage to put the squeeze on the financial dopers, then they have every chance of staying at the top. He might even spend his entire career with them. Saka now looks like one of the best players in the world. Doubling up on him doesn't seem to have much effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Arsenal could go back to being 6th/7th, and Man City (or any other big club) could be the ones dominating the league and playing CL. Granted, it’s all very positive for Arsenal at present and there’s absolutely no chance of him leaving in the short term, but we’ve absolutely no idea how things will look in 5/10 years time. Mental to suggest any youngster is a lock in at any club for the rest of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is on the up, and like I already said he's not some foreign kid like Clichy, Sagna, Nasri or Adebayor that all left to join Man City as soon as the going got tough. He's an Arsenal fan that wants to get them to the top.

You're changing the narrative. This whole thing started with someone claiming we might be able to poach him when we start 'flexing our financial muscle'. Then talk of Man City poaching him in a similar manner came up. We're not talking about him moving on towards the later stages like when Henry joined Barca for example. We're talking about him leaving when he is still in his better years, and him being convinced to leave in those years by throwing money at him. In my opinion I just don't see that happening with him. He's already going to be incredibly well off financially and that number will continue to go up at Arsenal, because he is the face of that team and they will continue to pay him top money, because he is a huge asset both on and off the field. He is not some foreign player with no real ties to the club that will just go where the money leads. I can't see him going to another Premier League club ever. At most when he starts hitting around 29 he might go to a Barca or Real Madrid for the experience. Even then, I'm not even sure he even does that.

Chicken Dancer Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Or alternatively he could look at Harry Kane at 30 and think shit... I don't want to be like that (obviously they could win the league this season). Arsenal are having a fantastic season but I think we should give it a year or two before crowning them as 'back;. Liverpool & Chelsea having poor seasons has opened the door a bit, let's see if they sustain it next season. They'll still be vulnerable to the like of Man City for a while yet, you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Saka seems a canny kid - very humble - so who knows what he would do, but it's a short career and if Arsenal revert to Champions League challengers he might have other thoughts in a few years. But aye, he will never play for us. That I do agree with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
