Aleksandr Golovin

[Stannis]

Can’t see it happening though I’d love if it did

If we wanted him it should have been find earlier

 

[DanDare]

Hard to see my self watching Arsenal next season if this is our star signing.

Sounds like Real Madrid is probably the team for you

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

If you just watched this past season, I’m sure you can watch next season

of course he will watch it

 

[Hjalmaar]

of course he will watch it

But what will we all do if he wont? Can't bear the thought.

Pretty sure you must be brimming with confidence when we only signed Cech in the summer of 2015.

don't know, might quit the forum

Future KDB, would love for us to sign him but it feels very unlikely atm unless Ramsey is sold.

 

[Mark Tobias]

I hear such great things about him but must admit the few times I have watched him I do not see these great things. Admittedly that is all of 4 times now.

TBF, I was impressed with his appearance for Russia but the opposition were absolute toss.

 

[NieThePiet]

First offer from Juve.

Edit: Juve offered €17m + Bonus. CSKA want €25m.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Cska just want 25M for everyone who will get him for that price is such a steal.

Whoever goes after Golovin will find that the issue will be his wages. Russia has 17% fixed tax rate and Russian players aren't historically keen on moving away from Russia unless they get significantly more money. CSKA isn't exactly a poor club which means he is probably on pretty high wages already. So whoever goes after Golovin will have to provide him significantly higher wages to ensure higher net income because, no matter where he moves, his tax rate will increase massively. This makes the deal much more risky considering the fact that Russian players don't have exactly best track record in adapting outside Russia.

[OnlyOne]

Do we need him?

 

[Jae]

Had a good first half against Egypt but then went missing.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I'm not sure I want another horse or meerkat.

 

[Stannis]

This is only happening if Aaron is leaving imo

Fee will probs get higher and Golovin would want to start

This is apparently a huge issue with young Russian talent, they price themselves out of moves abroad as they earn a lot more than on a prospects/young talents wage elsewhere then end up stagnating in Russia.

 

[Red London]

If Ramsey left Golovin would not be an adequate replacement

 

[grange]

Anything good he does is irrelevant when he's juiced on PEDs to the gills.

 

[ArtetaCognition]

Surprised Juventus are going after him honestly.

I don't think he will manage the transition to a higher level. But I am open to being wrong.
