✍️ OFFICIAL Cedric Soares (Out)

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

So we gave a **** player a long-term contract on 75k a week and now he doesn't want to leave?

Who the **** could've guessed that. Brilliant move from us once again.

 

[Gooner1988TK]

Thought he was on an actual backup player wage, around 40k.

Turns out he's on roughly 75k.

No wonder he's not going anywhere, terrible decision by Edu. At least it looks like we've moved on from that kind of player profile.

You will be even more upset to learn Mari is on 85k a week!!!!

 

[Malky]

As much as I pray he ****s off, not a chance he leaves - London lifestyle on a long term contract he doesn’t deserve. Guys going nowhere, Certainly not to Turkey

The only way him, Runnarsson, Mari etc will leave us on never ending loan deals till their contracts expire. No team will ever pay these ridiculous long big contracts to average at best players.

To think that Cedric could basically buy multiple Porsches a month on his salary for either doing nothing or giving away goals is just a devastating thought.

Second player Arteta brought in who he is willing to get rid off. Mari would be third if he finds anyone interested

The thing is they thought they was smart and was gonna hustle the market. They thought they’d sign Cedric and Mari on long deals to “protect their value” for cheap and sell them on for profit. That could’ve worked if they wasn’t absolute poverty on incredibly high wages for their lack of talent. In conclusion they’ve only managed to hustle themselves in a very bad way.

Wait, the same Fenerbache that was fuming over Kolasinac? I'll take it, but seems to me a bit unlikely. Soares is on 70k that I think they were unwilling to give to Kola.

Wouldn't be suprised if Özil is behind half these leaks to troll arsenal management and fans.

Wouldn't put it past that scumbag

Yep, but the clue was in where those players were. Cedric was backup at Southampton and had no future there. Mari was at Man City u23 and failed to even make the bench for first team. Arteta had no excuse for that one. I still believe both were favours to Kia and nothing more

 

[African Flair]

For real?! That's just mad. I'm sure he would be elastic to get a move here and collecting 40k a week.

 

[GDeep™]

Told you all non stop this exact thing was going to happen with Willian, Cedric and Mari.

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Predictable. Said it at the time he was ****, got tagged a troll for it lol

Arteta and Edu Transfer Targets: Summer 2020

People there actually understand football and there's oversight from owners and fans. Meanwhile we're stuck with Kroenke and the three bummeteers. I actively root against the Rams in the NFL because of Kroenke, such a shame this great club is owned by such a dislikeable ****.

smh they hate me because I'm right

Mikel Arteta: His Way or The Highway

I mean he tried to square up to Partey ffs. Sometimes I think he just doesn't understand the power and pull of a modern day footballer. Think's he's got big bollocks because he got rid of Guendouzi and shifted out Özil into the cold, his arrogance honestly knows no bounds.

Mikel Arteta: His Way or The Highway

From what I've noticed it seems a lot more people/twitter think the results are on the players and not Arteta, is that because we like him more or is it now because we've seen it happen with Wenger, Emery, Freddie and Arteta now? It's hard to look past some of the players imo, you see the...

Serge Aurier: Ex-Tottenham defender would consider a move to Arsenal after terminating contract

His replacement? Lol

 

[TinFish]

A lot of people here were happy about cedric and especially the Mari signing. I distinctly remember people getting wet over his performance against Liverpool back when he was playing for Flamengo.

Lets be honest here, Arteta allowed corruption to happen under his nose. The guy took the safe route and did what any rookie manager would do - buy b*ums like willian. Mari was obviously influenced back in his City days (where he didn't make it at all ...why the feck would he buy him?) and Cedric was just blatant corruption of the highest order...

I was happy enough with the Mari signing and am still OK with it. He was excellent in South America and I think was only ever bought as a backup, unfortunately due to Covid, injury and loss of form to Gabriel he has played a lot more than he ever should have. Hopefully when Gabriel comes back Mari will go back to the role he should have as a peripheral player.

Same with Elneny, who could have predicted that Partey who was barely injured in all his years in Madrid would have so many injury issues here. I'm still fine with guys like Mari and Elneny playing 500-1000 a season, the problem starts when they play 2000 minutes.

Cedric on the other hand was a very strange signing in a position that we didn't really need and I hope someone takes him off our hands but I'm not optimistic.

 

[TakeChillPill]

Clubs have created this mess. Management don't have a clue what they're doing, signing a reserve Southampton player and giving him first team contract, then starting him at the begining of the season and after 3 games, deciding to sell him.

Cedric must be confused as ****. Edu and Arteta are the only ones who don't seem to be accountable for their actions.

Under Edu and arteta we've signed the worst set of players in arsenal's history.

Cedric, Mari, Runersson, Willian....then a xhaka extension.

 

[squallman]

So we shifted Bellerin but this guy is still here?

 

[TinFish]

Yes because there was some demand for Bellerin. Who the hell wants to sign Cedric especially on his wages? The only way to get him out is by mutual termination.

 

[Kav]

Why did they agree to give him 75k per week though? He was not in the age bracket that you could sell at a later stage.

I didn’t see any upside in giving him such a long contract.

Lastly he wasn’t better than Bellerin so he shouldn’t be commanding first team wages.
