Hey mate, rather than just digging out other posters with sarcasm, why not offer a counter argument? Are you not concerned that these poor to average quality players are being retained? Especially after a genuine baller like Smith-Rowe has been all but given away? I know I am.EC1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 7:34 pmYes of course Arteta has no interest in winning, he prefers to have a team of players that he likes and enjoys the company of.
He has no winning mentality, playing for Rangers, PSV, Everton and Arsenal that takes nothing, just going through the motions.
Some talk like it’s so easy, blah blah blah and hey presto.

I don’t think ESR fee was far off the mark, he’s only played 25 league games in the last two seasons. There didn’t appear to be many clubs in for him. Would I rather him than Viera, most definitely yes.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 7:20 amHey mate, rather than just digging out other posters with sarcasm, why not offer a counter argument?

Now days PSR can’t be ignored, and that plays a part in decisions being made.
By average players I assume you mean Eddie, Nelson, Viera and Zinchenko and I can’t dispute any of those.
Maybe we are going to see one or two of the younger players getting game time, like Nwaneri.
Buying and selling players can be difficult and paying fringe players £100k per week makes it’s problematic selling.
I can’t understand how the club can pay a player £100k and he hardly kicks a ball.

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
We'll have to agree to disagree on ESR, mate. I think ESR will develop into a top player and I wish that had been with us. I hope the likes of Nwaneri gets games but I have my doubts based on how Smith-Rowe faired.EC1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 6:26 pmI don’t think ESR fee was far off the mark, he’s only played 25 league games in the last two seasons.

The overpaying of players nowadays shocks me. I mean historically we were always a club with a pay cap and we probably underpaid some of our best talent over the decades and now some of the worst players to wear our jersey (Vieira, Zinchenko) are paid incredible amounts of money. As you say this will make it difficult to unload them. I don't see why we cannot learn that lesson. Make them earn a pay rise, not just give it to them and then wonder why no other club will now take our poor quality player with his 100k a week wage demands.
