Eddie Nket14h: Answering The 📞 From England

[El Duderino]

People are saying it’s £80k but the £20k a week signing bonus over the duration of the contact takes it to 100k. 80 still seems like a lot to me.

Yeah, he's on what? 40?

Feel 60k + a mix of achiavable bonuses would be fine.

 

[Jasard]

The last rumour I saw for Sakas offer is 125k so if Eddie manages to get in sniffing distance of that he's a genius.

 

[GDeep™]

If the manager rates him and feels this is good business too because his summer budgets are tight to find two strikers, then why not?

I think Eddie is a good player.

 

[14Henry]

I remember some media outlets before adding signing on fees and bonuses to the overall "weekly wage" in order to sensationalise the story.

This is probably something similar. He was on 40k. It's probably went up to 70-80k and added the bonus etc on to make it a round 100k which will make the headline better.

Seen people posting about Diaz 56k, Mane 100k and all but no doubt that figure didn't add in the signing on fee and bonuses etc etc.

I also don't think his wages will be too much of a problem. The likes of West Ham/Palace etc could all afford to pay 60-70k a week and in a year or two more probably.

 

[Gunners1616]

They didn't even hesitate when they gave Cedric and Pablo Mari 4 years contracts so no surprise here.

Can't believe a club so big is relying on Edu/Mikel for these decisions.

They keep offering long term deals wily-nily. It is so obvious that Eddie was playing hard for his contract. Adebayor also used to turn into prime R9 when it was time for contract talks. Same with Alex Song and even Aubameyang.

Not the same. It's easier to offload a player on 80k a week than on 100k whatever he's been paid as a signing on bonus.

I thought this was always a win win since he has shown enough to have a decent resell value, but the 100k feels like if it doesn't work out it will be another contract we tear up because no one will pay him that wage plus a transfer fee. Hopefully it's just the bonuses factored in.

Reckon Edu had one conversation with De Laurentiis and called Nketiah.

You don't know who the agent is? and their clients?

The thing is he will always have a worth in the transfer market. The wages are just something that we could work out with the buying club.

Palace offer 20m but problems with wages we say OK look we knock a couple of million off and they sort it out by giving him a bigger signing on fee and lower wage.

His wages are not so high that very few clubs can afford him. For example Danny Welbeck is on around 55k a week at Brighton. For them to maybe pay 60-70k for Eddie wouldn't be that hard.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

This guy has god on his side ffs, look at the goals!? There is being a poacher, and then there is this...

 

[Nunowoolmez]

5 years is a lot but length of contracts don't mean too much these days. We have at least secured an asset who if we sell on we will get a fee for, rather than lose for nothing. If he doesn't perform & doesn't turn out to be the player we (Arteta mainly tho) hoped, we will have a player than could be difficult to move on..

Let's see....I really hope he proves the manager right & bangs em in for us.

Eddie done. Laca next. #Blimey

 

[MutableEarth]

Now if you're Saka's agent you ask for 350k a week. How can they say no?

Saka's agent IS Eddie's agent.

 

[El Duderino]

Saka's agent IS Eddie's agent.

Your take on all this, mate?

 

[Batman]

Saka's agent IS Eddie's agent.

 

[MutableEarth]

Your take on all this, mate?

I'm not that surprised but at the same time I did think Eddie would do the smart thing and get outta dodge. Still, I'm backing Eddie to prove he's a much better player than given credit but I'm surprised he's staying and think that Arteta might shaft him depending on who the incoming striker is.

I'm happy but also concerned.

 

[Barry]

Believe it or not. But I have seen @Trilly go home with a girl after telling her "do you want to see my snake?" and after she said yes and Trillz only manage to eat 2 dots before dying it was enough for her to go with him home!

Elite!

Our latest wagebill is in very healthy position we also going to lose pepe Leno and Lacazette who all 3 earn combined near 350k.

Media do make it worse sometimes . Saka and Martinelli don't earn that when signed new contract not long ago.

It's alot of money but kroenke pay it so who cares let Eddie enjoy his pay raise as long he continues improving on pitch

We had to release and pay players off because we paid stupid money. So now we got better finance we do the same exact mistake which was pay high wages if you don’t have to pay transfers. It’s false economy. You think 5 million a year for 5 years + 5 million bonus for nketiah being 30 million for 5 years is good

But what happens when the player shows he is not good enough and you can’t move him because clubs can’t match his wages? You pay him off like Özil, Auba, mustafi, kola etc etc. you also quickly raise the wage bill. Next talented kids agent will look at nketiah deal and say if you him 100k then my guy is worth more. This is short term thinking and plain lazy business

 

[Sammy1887]

You know for sure A-M hate seeing a young black male (not named Saka) GETTING MONEY

I see you my guy I see the vision now, sign that sh*t
