You honestly think we could make an enquiry about Saka, Saliba, Odeguaard and Arsenal would entertain it?

You’ve clearly got more faith than me but I think they’d slam the phone down or quote a price even Todd and the board wouldn’t be prepared to pay.

And Fergie said never he shouldn’t have sold Mark Hughes to Chelsea and Veron was so bad at Man Utd they were glad to get rid of him.

You're getting too into it. Unless you're in the boardroom, you can't assume that.

Every player is available, simple as. You think the Arsenal owners who have never cared about winning trophies suddenly want to deny getting money from us.

Madueke got into so many good positions tonight and messed it up almost every time. A better winger there would have made so much more of those chances.

Fabregas was rarely injured for us or Barcelona. The game just became so much quicker than him so he had to evolve his game.

In hindsight, ofc. At the time it was a huge risk

It was so frustrating

Just a poor man's Raheem Sterling in that left channel LOL

Not sure it was directed straight to Noni but Enzo's words were really strong there.

I would rather see him staying but if he wants to go to Arsenal then go.

Someone needs to go to training and make Sanchez cry...a lot.

Probably our most direct winger, but he has to improve, both the quality and consistency, of his end product. The number of times he hits the first man on a cross or misses his shot drives me nuts.

With incoming players, I think he might be reduced to a bench role anyway, and am ok with that as the quality of the team is going up. If the club receives a good offer, then perhaps it is time to move him on given we have Joao Pedro, Gittens, and Quenda incoming next year.

I think he is surplus.

Joao Pedro and Gittens for the LW ; Estevao and Neto for the RW. Quenda in the mix for 25/26.

Hard to see where Tyrique will fit in too. Probably a loan for him next season and see how he develops ?

Agree, and see Pedro also as a striker option also. George would definitely benefit from a loan and a significantly greater number of competitive minutes.

Romano now reporting Arsenal are advancing in personal terms. Noni open to move if clubs can agree fee

We bought him for 35m Euros. Hopefully we can get around 50m Sterling if we are to sell him. Good piece of business if so.

“50m Sterling”.. trying to bundle Sterling into the deal 😂

I don't understand why he'd want to join Arsenal to be backup to Saka. Plus, it's Arsenal....

I’d actually keep him if we don’t get a good price for him think he’s a good player on his day but if he wants to move then hopefully we get good money for him and go get someone like Rodrygo or Eze if available.

Anyone wanting to associate themselves to that club can leave, just as long as we get minimum 55M

Big wages. He is still on £50k/w and the reported improved contract never materialised. When you have Gittens coming in on £100k/w, and Pedro probably on around the same it might be time to leave.

Agreed personal terms per Romano.

I had high hopes for him, but it is the right thing to move him. Neto is far superior.

I thought Madueke would up his game in his second season, but ever since he came back go England he gave me the feeling he is trying too much to look gangsta on the pitch, like he'd try to bring that London teenage boy that listens to drill music vibe on the pitch, acting all tough and sh*t.

Also those training ground issues he's had with Mareasca. Not a bad player, but the right way is to move both him and Jackson.

This is why they won't buy a Rodrygo

I’d imagine the price will be a minimum of £50 million with add ons up to £60 million.

If we get that then it’s thanks Noni but off you go.

Ornstein picking up on it now.

Meant nothing. The fact Maresca even had to say that was telling enough.
