Invites pressure on the player as well though.
Not sure that’s necessarily a good thing for an inexperienced player.
Saka is a far more exciting prospect than Gnabry. Pace, can use both feet, great dribbler, gutsy, can assist, score, defend, etc.
Nice troll GC, lol.
Gold standard should atleast be someone who we regret selling because we can’t find a similar talent, like when Chelsea stupidly sold De Bruyne.
I don’t think Gnabry is a talent we can’t replicate. Heck we have Martinelli who seems more exciting to me.
Ermm, we have no one near Gnabry’s level on the wings, and he would massively boost us, or pretty much any other top club…

There’s no doubting he’s an turned into a fantastic talent but the reality is he would never have reached that in England, especially under Emery in the state we have been. It sucks that we didn’t get anything for him but it is what it is and the kid wanted to go back home.
We have some really exciting prospects here at the moment and the fact that fat boy Gnabz didn’t work out doesn’t change that. Martinelli’s attitude is way more resolved that Gnabry’s ever was, and the Brazilian could easily be one of the EPL’s most talented wingers in the next few years if we get his development right.

Ainsley Maitland Niles is better than both tho.

I think he’ll hold out for 100k a week or so. When he plays in a team with players like Bellerin, Kolasinac, Xhaka and Mustafi are getting that or more his agent will want a hell of allot more than 30k a week
Screw what they’re getting, he ain’t getting 100K a week.

Then he should leave on a free. 100k is market value for a player of his ability and potential. I think we’ll give him close to that
Some of you are way too gassed about him, AWB isn’t on 100K at United.
He isn’t getting that kind of money here or elsewhere.

Not even his agent would believe 100k is a possibility.
How many 18 year are on 100k. I’d bet it’s close to zero.

I saw this thread had a huge upturn in replies so I clicked to come and see what’s happened.
And its about a clickbait article with no substance, which some people believe?
It’s just hot air, he ain’t going anywhere - his commitment will be confirmed soon.

As promising as Gnabry
He wants 100k. The guys agent can go print some money himself. He ain’t getting it anywhere.
How many 18 year olds have 6 assists and 2 goals this season (or more) in a top 2 league?
I mean I think he re-signs, it will be life changing money for him.
Does Saka have 6 assists in the EPL ? I thought he had about half of them in Europa League ?

30k a week is life changing money for an 18 year old 
He won’t get anywhere near £100k, here or anywhere else

Might be wrong but I think he only has 1 in the league
