This would be a pointless signing IMO.


This about Rabiot? I'd take him to be honest, I'd replace Xhaka with him in a heartbeat.

Apparently Rabiot will cost a ton, not a free transfer it seems.

I'd only take Rabiot if we didnt have to pay him so much. The fact that he wants a signing on fee AND a massive wage puts me off.

I wouldnt mind giving him a 10-20m signing on fee in a couple installments, but to pay him so much money ontop of what he is already asking is going to get us into a similar situation to what we are facing with Özil. If we wanna sell him because hes not good enough for whatever reason he's just gonna sit on that extortionate wage and we are going to have to finance a move to get rid of him.

I reckon we'd have to do that with Kolasinac if we ever wanted to sell him, hes on 140k a week whos paying that?? And when it comes to contract renewal time is he gonna take that massive pay cut or is he going to reject it and run down the deal...

I feel bad for Rabiot as it seems Barca “gave him the eyes” and his head was turned until Frenkie made them look away.

I’d love Rabiot, regardless of his attitude, however wouldn’t we be contradicting the statement in regards to Rambo.

Douzi broke his own transfer story before club sanctioned so wouldn't be surprised

Welcome player I know nothing about

Re: Rabiot. Extremely talented player who would seem to fit Arsenal quite well.

I'll leave it up to Emery to judge his character since they know each other well. I'll leave it up to the club to figure out what they are willing and can afford to pay him -- and, of course, whether or not they want him. If they're on board, so am I.

The idea wasn't that we couldn't give Ramsey the money full stop, it was that we couldn't give it to a 28 year old with a history of muscle injuries. I think the club would be happy to give it to a 24 year old Rabiot.

Rabiot with emery at PSG he played 35+ games in all components so there weren't problems with Emery. If we didn't have tow guys on 550K a week we'd offer Rabiot a good contact

Seen a bit of Loader when I’ve watched Reading games for Martinez.

He looks a good presser and a willing runner but he’s never really looked like a goal scorer :lol:

I’d much rather keep Nketiah and give him minutes tbh.

Loader is good to be fair, but we have at least 3 strikers in the academy who all have PL potential. Doesn't make sense unless they're potentially much better.

Good point but I’m referring more so to what’s Raul specifically stating about wage imbalance within the squad. Surely with Rabiot on a free, he’ll command an excess of 250k pw.
