is it? or is it financially sensible from a club at serious risk of going down?
They’ve signed far too many players and eddie’s wages are already above his talent so I don’t massively blame them. I just think Eddie is equally within his right to say “fuck you” given the way they splashed money the last 2 years, why should he be the potential guinea pig for their new outlook?
I mean it’s sensible for Forrest to ask and sensible for Eddie to say no. Everyone’s looking out for their own interests in that situation and I don’t blame them.
Isn’t paycut upon relegation a pretty usual clause? If it wasn’t. It would hard as fuck to shift players.
It is but I’d imagine halving your wages is pretty uncommon.
Just one remains
Nelson is never going to be good enough. Giving Nketiah the new contract has worked out. We can’t carry Nelson on 100k for another year.
I don’t think Arsenal care much mate.
Is Nelson on 100k a week? We sure about that?
Many said the same about Joe Willock as they did about Eddie Nketiah. It doesn’t matter if Reiss Nelson is not good enough for Arsenal. We just need to make him look advertising to the mid-table clubs, and it’s another £20m into the transfer kitty.
Without having a concrete target to cover/rotate with Saka/LW, it is better to stick with Nelson.
Like Eddie, he only costs 5.2m per year.
What kind of player you can get with that amount?
Nelson is probably around 20m, and I do not think he is the reason why we cannot get a top player.
I tend to believe there is no one Arteta/Edu is really interested in, or the one(s) we are interested is just way too expensive.
Absolutely not lol
From what I can see online, most sources suggest Nelson is on 100k a week.
He offers so little of the pitch that I’d rather give his minutes to Nwaneri or Lewis Skelly. Or better still, use Jesus and Martinelli as right wing options.
Big few months ahead then, needs to show he can actually support Saka and take his chances to shine in the cup games.
Make Arteta trust you please
He had all season to do it last year and didn’t make it happen.
he’s going to be 25 this December. This guy’s finished and likely won’t improve his game.
But he’s an Arsenal player, so I want him to do well until he’s sold.
I respect that he’s making good money, part of a winning team and gets to live a nice lifestyle. I’d probably ride out the contract too. He’s not going to get nice money when he leaves.
Reiss, now is the time you earn your paycheck, not just sitting on the bench.
I’m sorry, Reid’s can not be playing in the ChampionsLeague, even for 20 minutes. That is our level now.
Can surely play him when we’re 3-0 up after 75 minutes against Club Zonozole FC though.
