never heard of that musah guy
I could be wrong but, from what I understand, there isnât much we could have done about Musah or Malen. Musah wanted to play professionally immediately as a 16-year-old (and get paid to do it) and Malen turned down a bunch of big clubs because he wanted to go back to Holland.
Gnabry was a massive fuckup.
Bennacer I donât really know enough about, he wasnât all that highly rated when he was with us, the question is whether we missed what should have been an obvious talent or whether he just bloomed late.
I donât think we missed out on much with Jeff although we probably should have given him more chances.
Kamara is another player that probably makes our first team squad right now, although not the first eleven.
Musah just committed to playing for the USA. It was a pretty big coup as he basically walks into a starting XI in my mind.
Itâs a shame heâs at Valencia watching Peter Lim just burn the place to the ground.
The one that hurts the most is Gnabry though. Maybe because Arsene botched it so badly. Big guy didnât whiff on many but he missed hard on Serge.
They are the model we should follow tbh. With more money to take the odd chance or sign the top star every so often.
Oh no doubt about it. Itâs never as clear cut as it seems itâs just an interesting observation on where a lot of our young players over the last few years have ended up.
I didnât think Malen looked all that at the Euros. No doubt BVB will turn him into a ÂŁ70m sale in a couple of seasons
The year is 2024. England are still riding high after a WC/Euro double. Trump is running for President from jail. Malen and Liverpool knock Mikel Artetaâs relegation battling Arsenal out of the FA Cup.
I think Malen will be a solid player for Dortmund. Great transfer.
1% sell on clause
Covers one week of Willianâs wages lol
1% sell on clause
Doubt itâs a sell on. Probably something to do with him being below a certain age and the academy compensation stuff.
I had to find out how much we sold Malen for.
Did we not think to add any clauses based on future performance? smh
Insanity. Guys like Malen, Gnabry, JRA actually had good reputations too so youâd have hedged a bet on their talents and included some type of buy back / sell on clause if youâre letting them go for the kind of sums we let them go for
Honestly think Wenger had just lost the plot by that point and didnât care about anything other than trying to get back into top four and salvage his reputation. Every decision he made that summer was terrible other than selling Ox.
-Buying Laca for 50m then buying another expensive CF a few months later
-Turning down 60m from City for Alexis about to go into the last year of his contract
-Bidding 90m for Lemar (!!!)
-Letting Malen walk for nothing
-Signing Kola to huge wages bc he was free
Huss Fahmy is also bald. Fraudulent behaviour.
Dicky would never.
And he didnât even want to do that.
Tried to be like Chelsea, selling good youths for big name players like, checks notes Lacazette.
Somewhere in California a guy is sorting out a load of emojis.
Sweet sweet business savvy of our clowns.
