8 open play assist is funny 😂😂

@benefitmind Only city dunked on me by winning the league.. all these scrubs Dey fight for top4🤣🤣

@Adeyemi_AFC Some of the "scrub managers" dunked on you though

Arteta went toe-to-toe with Pep and Klopp in his first managerial job and still ended up winning the Premier League. And now I’m supposed to be worried about this new crop of scrub managers? What a joke🤣

Being recognised isn’t something you award yourself, it’s something people acknowledge. But your last line, “European virgins,” tells me this conversation is over. It shows you haven’t even done the most basic research before typing. You are not engaging your head enough and u need to spend more time using your phone to learn, not just to argue. Once your closing point is factually wrong, there’s really nothing left to debate.

@Adeyemi_AFC Been big is when you're recognised both home and abroad, can you proudly say you're recognised everywhere?? Mind you, be like you don forget say na we be the world champions o Biko take time o European virgins 😏😂

The only time Arsenal forget their “smart negotiation” and “internal financial valuation” policy is when a Chelsea player is available. We’ll lowball everyone else, but when it’s Chelsea… we pay in full, add-ons included, and probably send a thank-you card too. 🤣🤣

Ask anyone on the streets of London and you’ll get a clear answer about who the biggest club in the city is. Instead of trying to rewrite reality to suit a narrative, just accept the facts and move on. History, fanbase, achievements and global reach all speak for themselves. U don’t win just 5 league titles in over how many years and start talking about being big

@Adeyemi_AFC That shows when you're big, you are big Chelsea is the bigger club you have to show respect when making deals with us

Rogers’ market value was never £117m, no matter how you try to spin it. That fee was inflated by circumstances, not true valuation. The issue isn’t spending money, it’s spending without a clear recruitment strategy. Caicedo, Mudryk, Gittens, Hato.. paying the highest fee doesn’t automatically mean smart business. There’s a difference between being decisive and panic buying. Elite clubs know when to negotiate and when to walk away.

@Adeyemi_AFC Arsenal “smart negotiation” na term wey dem dey use anytime dem no wan pay market value, but as e concern Chelsea player, budget suddenly get room. Funny thing na say all this panic buying still no dey guarantee them trophy na Chelsea sabi milk them

I think we’re closer in opinion than you think. I’m not saying abandon smart recruitment or overpay. I’m talking about the mindset. If you and I have the same phone, and you say yours is worth £1,000 but I spend months telling everyone it’s only worth £600, then when I want to sell mine, why wouldn’t others use my own valuation against me? That’s my point. The way you value other people’s assets can influence how the market values yours. Gyökeres, Mosquera, Zubimendi, Merino. the pattern is there. Sometimes we negotiate hard, only to eventually pay the original asking price anyway. The funny thing is, the only club where we don’t seem to question valuations is Chelsea. Whatever price they put on their players, we usually move quickly and get the deal done. 😂 Smart buying and smart selling should work together.

No, I didn’t ignore that we need to improve on selling. I disagreed on how you suggested that should take place. Villa told us rogers was worth 130m. I got absolutely no problem with us telling them that’s absurd especially when it was jacked up immediately after another player going for that fee to city distorting what done thing is value. Caving into that demand without question then affects how others see you can be driven to abandon reason when buying and look to exploit the same weakness. No, my belief on how to improve sales is to accept that Arteta inherited dross we would have got low yield of return for the most part anyway, but seeing those he’s developed that would get a higher yield whilst NEVER turning your back on an opportunity to get a “bargain” for want of a better phrase or “talent on the up yet to be discovered and platformed” so that when you get that right and take those players to market, you increase sales value that way…. Which is the opposite to what you suggest of not spending time bargain hunting. Just my thoughts. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The more I think about Arsenal’s poor selling record, the more it makes sense. We spend all summer telling other clubs their players aren’t worth the asking price, then turn around and undervalue our own. Maybe that’s why we sell so cheaply. You can’t spend every window bargain hunting and expect other clubs to pay premium prices for your players.

You might be the only Arsenal supporter I’ve seen who doesn’t think our selling record is a problem. This was never about throwing money around when buying. It’s about getting proper value when we sell. Look at last season, despite Liverpool, Chelsea and City making big transfers and spending heavily, Arsenal could still say we were the biggest spenders because our net spend was higher partly due to our inability to generate enough from sales. The point was simple: the same mindset that makes us question every price for other clubs’ players can sometimes make us undervalue our own assets. Buying smart and selling smart should go together.

@Abu_Bardaan That’s why they were all happy we lost that final

@Adeyemi_AFC They know that’s they didn’t want Arsenal to win that Champions league final 😂.

When your biggest hater has no choice but to admit you’re the biggest club

The fact that it hasn’t taken some of those clubs above us doesn’t mean it won’t benefit Arsenal. That’s a flawed comparison. If anything, look at City and Liverpool, their ability to generate value from sales helped them sustain a world-class squad and compete at the highest level for years. But you’re still avoiding the main point: SELLING. Nobody is saying sales alone win trophies, but smart sales create room to reinvest, refresh the squad and maintain competitiveness. It’s not about choosing sales over ambition; it’s about having both. Elite clubs maximise every part of the operation.

The consistency of all those clubs player sales got them where? Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Caving and accepting big fees which are big for a reason: They are for players of quality…and that got all those teams you named where in this revenue chart or in the league table? Beneath us… but continue looking at the little picture and at sales in isolation not the purpose sales serves: REVENUE GENERATION AND GROWTH…then tell me which of those teams you named has growth beyond ours at this moment? I eagerly await that response. 🤦🏽‍♂️☠️😭

I’ll keep this brief to suit your taste as well. 😂 You keep talking about buying, but you’re ignoring the other side of the equation: SELLING. That’s being clever by half, because squad building isn’t just about what you spend. it’s also about how well you generate value from your assets. Nobody is asking Arsenal to overpay for players. The point is that better sales generate more funds to reinvest and improve the squad. Smart buying and smart selling go hand in hand. Elite clubs do both. You can’t focus on one side of the business while ignoring the other.

@Adeyemi_AFC If your suggestion to increasing value is to distort our notion on not over valuing what we buy then it’s not me that is looking at this quandary with emotions not in check. It’s you. I will keep that paragraph brief to your taste.

You’ve written a whole essay but still avoided the main point. 😂 Nobody is saying Arsenal should start selling players for the sake of it or break up the squad. The point is about our ability to maximise value when we do sell. Most of the names you listed are either not for sale, key first-team players we have no intention of losing, or young talents whose value is based on potential rather than an actual completed sale. You can’t use hypothetical future fees to prove we are already a good selling club. The real measure is what happens when players actually leave the door. Look at clubs like Chelsea, Brighton, City, Liverpool etc. They consistently turn squad players and fringe talents into huge fees. That’s where Arsenal have historically struggled. And since you mentioned young talents, let’s talk about Chido Obi, Heaven and many more young talents that we developed and left for basically a minimal return, that’s exactly the type of situation being discussed. It’s not about selling Saka, Saliba or Ødegaard; it’s about having the structure and negotiation skills to get proper value from players who are not part of the long-term plan. Keeping your best players and improving your sales strategy are not mutually exclusive. Elite clubs do both. The argument was never “sell everyone”, it was “stop leaving money on the table when you do sell.” 👍

Yeah, you are not engaging your brain. Allow me to engage it for you. Saliba - bought for 27m would sell for a profit. Gabriel - bought for 27m - the same Odegaard- bought for 30m, the same. Raya - bought for 30m, the same. Timber - bought for 34m. Mosquera: 13- rising to 17m Martinelli- 7m Calafiori - 42m Hincapie - 35m Zubimendi -55m Merino - 25m Then you could add potential pure profit players….skelly, Saka, Nwaneri, Dowman…. There are big fees in these players… But we spent the last decade watching our club sell all our best players to balance our books because we didn’t have the scope to match their ambitions and had to pay a load of stadium debt… I bet you were one of the same guys that like me, hated seeing that….but now, you are overlooking the club not being so eager to turn a quick profit by retaining the players that could flip the profit….many of these players the club have been approached for to sell and the club has, unlike in the last decade, fought nail and tooth to keep them to keep us competitive….low and behold, THAT PAID OFF. SEE, if you weren’t concerning yourself following the herd, you wouldn’t be so eager to just do numbers for numbers sake. We are not a good selling club…. But: 1) We now have invested in the players that can change that. All those names sell for 3-4 times their purchase value but so long as the club is keeping them to give us the best chance of winning, who cares that others are selling better because if we started churning through these names, big fees are everywhere. 2) I want you to look at the listed accounts from our most recent financial year to understand this: A business like a football club shouldn’t rely solely on one revenue stream… as you can see, only 6 clubs generated more revenue inspite our modest selling capability…. The sheep will focus on player sales…but the Shepards who have not succumb to the whims of the herd will notice that our diversified revenue streams EASILY compensate for both our modest sales and enable us to keep in tact our core group that would offer value in the market but are worth more to us in our efforts to not just win, but dominate for a cycle over time…. 41% commercial revenue growth was listed in these accounts…..so player sales didn’t prohibit revenue growth, the whole essence you would consider sales. Finally. To further my point…where are Chelsea on this chart, the great selling club? Spurs, Utd, all made bigger sales than us in recent times, city are a negligible amount ahead of us and used 115 charges, Liverpool raised 200m in player sales last season, a negligible amount ahead of us……but we just won the league, made more than all of them this season, this time next year, we will list accounts higher than all of them there, player sales or none…. So sure, player sales and the need to improve them is there…..but not at the expense of the caution in negotiations for buying that got us here. To suggest we just pay bigger fees without asking questions to boast sales and stress the rate our revenue grows from increased transfer fees, wages, other associated transfer costs…sounds like robbing Peter to pay Paul, more volatile, a less measured and controlled approach. Stop looking at income streams in isolation . Look at them all. The bigger picture is the clearer indicator of financial health and also remember we have until the 2nd of September to buy and sell players and July hasn’t ended yet.

“Compose yourself” is a funny line from someone who needed a whole paragraph to tell people not to react emotionally. 😂 My post was never about clubs buying players or asking for some “Ornstein bomba”. It was about our own inability to maximise the value of our players when we sell. And the way we lowball other players is the way we don’t value our own players too. Trends matter because they show patterns, and one pattern that has been clear for years is that we often struggle to get premium fees for our assets compared to other clubs. That has nothing to do with panic buying or chasing headlines. You can defend patience and smart recruitment while still admitting that selling players for their true market value is an area we need to improve. Both things can be true. So before accusing people of losing their heads, maybe understand the actual argument first. 👍

Yeah, the moment you mentioned trends whilst seemingly acting like you are telling the full story, I immediately knew I’m talking to someone who’s head is hot who is craving an Ornstein bomba just because his peers have had one or 2 who’s head has been lost to that mist. Maybe you should compose yourself and look to what the trends of the past couple of years have shown…..

It’s a funny how we still don’t see the trend, this season alone we have lowballed like 3 signings, Jeremy monga, Roger’s and we are still doing it with guimaraes.. we did the same with gyokeres last season but the moment we are interested in Chelsea players, we pay almost anything they requested.. but u are telling me there’s no patten

@Adeyemi_AFC What? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ so we should just pay asking prices regularly like Utd and Chelsea who are consistently overcharged and strong armed in negotiations just to sell players for more…. God, I hate the silly things we say for the sake of being reactionary

🚨 Ben Jacobs on Bruno Guimarães: 💴 Arsenal have made two bids via intermediaries (£55m & £65m), with a third offer likely.

@SirLeoBDasilva And he said he doesn’t use social media

Rodri was getting benched by Partey at Atletico. Manchester City platformed him and helped him become the winner of the Ballon D’or. No single respect for that club after everything. He’s out there twerking personally. He can’t even use his agents because he wants it loud.

We are actually not ready for this conversation.. but that’s the truth..
