✍️ OFFICIAL Konstantinos Mavropanos (Out)

[Pepesuave]

No confirmed tag for Dinos?

 

[FluffyDoozi]

Shocking deal. Garlick and Edu should be fired on the spot. I just can't believe people in charge of a billion pound company can be this incompetent.
FFS even **** Law was so much better than the bums we're stuck with.

 

[Token Yank]

Some of you need to get a grip. If he is as good as everyone claims we get a 10-15m sell on fee when he makes his big money move to Real Madrid.

Where my Goodwill Relations squad at!?!?

Nobody is claiming he's a superstar..maybe you live in a world were everything is extremes but for a decent footballer who has performed well in 1 of the big European leagues, who's young has still 3 years on his contact it warrants more than a few million with the potential of add ons.

For example Burnley have just signed some fella Nathan Collins from Stoke for 12m.

You have to give credit to Stuttgart. I dont know if this deal was crafted by Sven or Hitzlsperger (disgusting name) or both but its a great deal for them.

 

[Token Yank]

Bottom line is he is surplus to requirements here. We have 19 CBs and just signed another one. There didn't seem to be any other teams interested. Everyone outside of England is broke. Fee could be higher but I am not going to lose sleep over it.

 

[ClubLevel]

Say what you want about the guy but Raul Sanlehi would squeeze out at least 10 million from this lot.

And probably Pocket £8m.

 

[NieThePiet]

Raul sold Bielik for around £10m and Edu is selling Mavropanos for £5m.

Quite a difference. Still no idea how Edu got this job.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

So we can expect about a similar value for a Saliba then in a year or two based on that theory. Great business.

Well Saliba came with a big reputation at least. No one knew who Mavro was and most still don't. But we're taking a massive loss on Saliba most likely.

If everyone outside of England? Stuttgart no that right? That's why they asked for €27m for Gonzalez. That why Forientina paid it. Cause they are all broke. Is Gonzalez 5 or 6 times better than Mavro?

 

[Rattata]

Imagine Arsenal was trying to sign 23 years old greek international Mavropanos who just had a good season at Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. Would Arsenal get him for £3m?
Yeah, lol...

 

[Token Yank]

Is Gonzalez 5 or 6 times better than Mavro?

Probably. Also, one is a forward and the other a CB...

Very weak on the part of Arsenal. Sven M did a good job leveraging something, what exactly, I have no idea.

 

[14Henry]

Probably. Also, one is a forward and the other a CB...

Maybe we can flog them Nketiah for 5m plus add ons up to 7-8m and a 12 pack of Erdinger.

 

[truth_hurts]

Shocking deal for us. I don't think he would have had any impact here, but we've given him away for peanuts.

 

[Squillaci]

Is there any club run worse than Arsenal?
We are a joke.

United?

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

This is a new low. Everytime you think we can't get any worse at selling players the club surprises us again.

Guaranteed only £500k. If they stay up we get £3m. Only if all the bonus clauses are met do we get a meagre £5m.

To see how bad this deal is you have to look at Stuttgart's point of view. They must be laughing their asses off. Everything is loaded in their favour, minimal risks if it doesn't work out, high rewards if it does. The season he has had, how much realistically would they had to spend to replace him with similar level of player?

The only good thing here is the sell-on clause but we don't know what percentage that is. Knowing us it is probably a tiny percentage.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Such a poor deal and I don't even rate Mavro that highly.

No-one should be defending this. Stuttgart have well and truly had our pants down here, no way around it.

Wouldn't surprise me if Stuttgart got us to play them at their place in a pre season friendly as part of the deal too
