My guess is that, to excuse the pun, we are all or nothing on Mudryk. Can’t see what back-up we have. Unless we go for Felix. Which is also a joke deal. If we lose Mudryk to Chelsea then the price of Felix won’t come down. It may go up!

Pay up or shut up.

If Chavs are determined to pay more than us, we should keep bidding up to £100 million....let the fuckers waste their money

For me it's as simple as this....

Do we need to sign him to push on our title challenge?

Do we trust Martinez-Lite's judgement that this is the player to do that?

Do we have that kind of money available?

If all three answers are "yes" then stop fucking around and pay the asking price.

If there are one or more "no"'s in there then move on to another target.

Little clubs very seldom just give their best or most wanted players away to big clubs for low offers any more. Those days are all but gone.

We need to decide are we still a big club.

Because Mudryk is very inexperienced at the top level it makes sense to increase the add-ons not the base price. I don't believe the Chavs really want him but they can see us having to pay more if they are'interested'.
Make a 70m final offer, 50m + 20m add-ons and tell them they have 24hrs to make a decision yes or no, or we pull the offer and go elsewhere, two can play at their bullshit game.
Have Arsenal got the balls to do it? Probably not!!

Shakhtar vice director Nicolini: “We’re not in a hurry to sell Mudryk, we don’t need money… we consider Mykhaylo stronger than Antony so you can now understand the value”, tells Calcio Napoli 24. 🚨🇺🇦 #AFC #CFC

“The price tag is clear”, he added.

TRANSFER NEWS: @Arsenal would be open to letting Marquinhos out on loan this month. This will only possibly happen if #AFC sign a winger.

Mudryk is top target, talks with Shaktar continue. Optimism a deal can be done.
Ferran Torres is back-up option for £42m.

So basically United are fucking us on this deal. It’s the equivalent of Maguire making any half decent defender worth £100m. Mad logic. United have overpaid repeatedly. That doesn’t revalue the whole market. It doesn’t work that way.

I’m interested in the optics of a Ukrainian side selling a Ukrainian player to a club until recently owned by a Russian oligarch. :roll:

AS understand it, we have bid in the region of £60-62M, they value him at £88M, immaterial of our thoughts on his worth that is a hug gap. None of us would be happy with us selling Martinelli or Saka for 25% less than we thought he was worth (immaterial of real worth) so i can understand Shaktar's reluctance.

If our club/Edu/Arteta think he is what we need and are serious then they need to significantly up the bid, if they are not willing to pay then scrap the deal and move on, we must strengthen this window if they are serious about the league.
Much as I would love Mudryk joining us ( we absolutely need someone wide / up front ) what if paying above what we have already offered means we don’t get in any other player in this window ?
We need to strengthen in 2/3 positions

If it’s Mudryk only for £80m, what if that blows all our money till the summer…..I know ESR is hopefully back next match but is that enough to see us through ?

Guess it all depends on when Jesus is back and if we pick up any other key injuries….aaaargh

🚨| @David_Ornstein on Mudryk: “Arsenal have had two bids rejected, but their interest remains strong. I think they are staying calm and they’ll continue the conversations with Shakhtar. There is optimism at the Emirates Stadium that with patience they will get this done.” [NBC]
