lucio 5,418 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Arsenal had to sell first-team players like Fabregas, Van Persie, Clichy, Adebayor etc.We're selling out fourth-choice CB for an astronomical figure. Hardly comparable.our 2nd best midfielder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 50m£ on Luiz,atleast they wont bid on Hazard now.If they still do then its one big middlefinger to the uefa lolWhat makes you think so? If they bid £60m Hazard is gone.They can sell Cavani, Marquinhos and Pastore (£100m+) as funds for both Luiz and Eden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You have a point but I just can't celebrate transfer fees. I'd rather leave the excel sheets to Arsenal fans.It's not about Excel sheets though. When Arsenal were selling players it was to pay off a stadium. We're selling players who aren't needed to buy players who really are. It's actually remarkable that we're selling players that the manager doesn't really want for a profit, and using that money to build a team that he does want. For the first time in years it feels like everyone at the club is pulling in the same direction. bababoom, mediator and Blue-in-me-Veins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 So my three favourite players all sold or released in the same year.Aww poor you, grow up. Lol at the Chelsea fans celebrating at the transfer fee as if we're getting a piece of the money. A trophyless season and celebrating transfer fees. We've become Arsenal overnight.That's the second time someone made that point, why cant you be happy about the deal? it means we can spend big in the summer without worrying about FFP. It's like saying why celebrate if we win a trophy or buy a player...we support the club ffs, it's better than being a fucking bore like yourself. Arsenal sell their best players, we don't. Jose obviously didn't fancy Luiz and Mata, so why not sell them and replace them with players who can improve us as a team and make us more competitive and balanced. Luiz will prove everyone wrong at PSG.He can suddenly turn into Beckenbauer still doesn't change the fact that 40-50 million for a defender is a great deal. If we keep him he's going to play in midfield, do you honestly want that? he's been good in the big games but we need a world class midfielder alongside Matic, not a makeshift one.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Not exactly in the boat of 'Luiz out' here but if the 50m figure mentioned is true, then it's quite hard to turn it down. Though I question PSG's stupidity to overpay for a player that isn't worth that amount and limit their spending power after being hit by the FFP fine recently. http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2014/5/23/5739258/the-case-for-david-luiz-at-centre-backMore hocus pocus nonsense from the boys at WAGNH.

didierforever 7,349 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 if we actually can sell DL for 50mil or infact anything north of 40mil, i want this mid options for next year.matic - pogba/vidal - rambo, mvg, youth player.i simply wont be satisfied with a cesc/song/kovacic. maybe rakitic is fine, but re-invest that bulk of money in someone like pogba/vidal.

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 50 mil for Luiz no wonder Chelsea can't get this deal done fast enough. Considering that Chelsea could probably get 2 very good CBs and have money left over it's a no brainer.Even at 30 mil it's a bargin for Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
