• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

Was it not £60m a while back so we have come down?😁

Tbf it's probably to stop clubs taking the pi$$
Newcastle were definitely doing that.

After his 1st season here £50m would have looked cheap.

Whoever allowed his contract to be renewed (thus getting a wage increase) despite knowing Arteta wanted a new keeper that same summer, deserves a beating and a sacking.

Hopefully it was Inaki Cana, had enough of that midget.

I just can’t get past this. Absolute criminal behaviour. Shame drippin isn’t around anymore these days to tell us all about how we gave him the new contract to ensure we kept his value alive so that we could perpetually loan him till said contract expires.

Fking amateurs we are sometimes honestly.

Good old drippin.

Scroll upwards from here to have a little chuckle.

Ramsdale or Raya can easily be sold for what they were bought for, so the long-term is not affected at all, but Arsenal now has two top young HG GK's on long contracts. And they can decide how to proceed.

The squad is getting quite close to being complete, so in the coming years there should be more space in FFP anyway. This season it was still pretty tight.

At the start of last season Ramsdale was one of the most valuable goalkeepers in all of football. One year later and we can't even sell him because Arteta completely tanked his value with the way he handled the GK situation.

It’s not just Arteta to blame tho. This really is one of those instances where you expect your DoF to put his foot down and sell Aaron last window (and not extend his damn contract).

This was a collective fk up at multiple levels of the club.

Nothing better than drippin deludedly thinking contract length is a determining factor when it comes to transfer fees.

It is though? Am I missing something?

Players are always cheaper with 12 months on their contract than 24-36. Thought this was common knowledge?

Yep been saying last summer they should have actively looked for a buyer instead of extending him with higher wage and hear that moron of a manager saying you need two nr 1s. It’s clear he lost faith in him and he was done the moment we approached Raya

Well yeah in that instance, but he'd argue having a player under contract for 5 years meant you'd get a higher fee than if they had 3 years.

It is but it’s not linear. It’s basically not a factor until it is kind of a thing.

Ramsdale would have had 2 yrs in contract last summer (I think?) so it wouldn’t have been an impediment to selling him.

Hmm ok I still think there'd be an increase (albeit a smaller one) but IMO player quality is a much bigger driver of fee so its a moot point for me 🤷‍♂️
