I'd like to keep Balogun but my Daka purchase was on the assumption he was leaving.
Martinelli, Auba, Edouard, Daka, Saka, & get rid of Willian & Pepe & go for Neto or Solomon. Best set of young forwards in Europe when Auba leaves.
Too much but seeing Brewster gone for 20m I'm not minding asking this type of money for record u21 England goal scorer

Brewster had a contract until 2023. They got a 15 % sell-on clause and a buyback clause (not sure, was it 45 million euros, active for 3 years).
They sold him for 26 million euros.
That contract length will likely make Arsenal get less.

Don’t care how much just get rid he’s awful..no other top 6 club has a striker as bad as him it’s embarrassing

I've always found to be a man of good sense, but while being governed by nostalgic pashun, surely you cannot in good sense argue for Welbeck...

Sorry, but this is just a trash comment. We have Martinelli, Eddie, and Balogun as talent able to prove itself as depth behind Auba and Laca. Nothing wrong with that for a top club, with Martinelli back there aren’t many minutes of chance available anyway between Eddie and Balogun. If we sell we sell for a good price. He’s not just some inanimate object you toss into the rubbish bin. Your comment quite frankly is not fit for an Arsenal supporter.

Anything above 15 mill and we should sell. Ideally get around 20. That still makes him a very successful youth product.
I don't think he's absolute garbage like some do but I can't see him being any better than a squaddie. We always fail to sell at the right time and end up begging clubs to take unwanted players later on as a result.

I agree otherwise, but the condition for me is to get Balogun to extend if Nketiah goes. Otherwise we extend Nketiah. HG is important now and Nketiah might still extend even being a squaddie.
The best idea is to sell Nketiah and extend Balogun. Not sure if possible.
Although now that I think of it, we have TJJ also, so signing Edouard and having TJJ is fine too without both. We're a bit in the mercy of their agent.

Anything over £20 million is a good deal. Given it’s January, it’s reasonable to add a premium. England under 21s record scorer and homegrown (which means more in a post-Brexit world). Clubs like Brighton, West Ham and Wolves could all use a decent striker. Nketiah may not have the all round game for our level but he’s an eye for goal and that’s a valuable commodity in the Premier League especially lower down the table.

Anything above £15 million sell. We won't get that much in the summer and therefore ever again.
He's not bad but he's nowhere near what we need if we have aspirations to be a big club. I believe in nurturing players but the patience which is being shown towards Eddie has not been shown to others at the Arsenal.

To have some residual attachment and class when it comes to this player who has stuck it out for a while and given it his all to prove he can make it at Arsenal. No one can doubt his effort as a Gooner, and whether he stays or goes Gooners should wish him well. There are still some values at this club worth keeping. Gooners should be ingrained with them.
There's another side to this also. If you just want this kind of player out asap, who has no attitude problems, regardless of sale price you aren't really thinking about the club either.

Nice to see loads of you calling Eddie derogatory names and saying he's worth f-all, when he's done a **** load more than Brewster in his career who Liverpool got nearly £30m for.

He's actually shown he can score against PL-opposition, thats more than you can say for some others who went for 20m +.

I'd take 20 million for him minimum. Ok hes out of favour right now granted, But so have most of our players so far. Him and the other foward players this season so far have fed of scraps in most games. Hes still very young, hes scored bags of goals for the England U23s and at first team level, The money some other young English talents go for, we should be aiming for 20 million

Eddie is very one dimensional. He's a poacher and has very little else to his game. His technique is average, short passing is below arsenal level, not a great dribbler, or hold up play, not particularly fast.
He's basically a rubbish version of auba.

I really hope he stays but 30 million would be a good offer for him at this point though I would definitely want a buy back clause. I'm a bit sceptical of the link though. Doesnt really seem the type of striker you would expect David Moyes to go for.
The notion that he is a terrible player is laughable. You cannot teach eddie's natural goalscoring instinct. If you put him behind the same attack we have had in previous weeks ( the ESR, Saka and martinelli) he would be scoring for fun IMO.
In an ideal world we would be able to keep Balogun and Eddie for the future. Balogun to replace Lacazette as the more rounded striker and Eddie replacing Auba as the natural goal machine. Unfortunately we have mismanaged both of them. They should of been tied down to long term contracts years ago and Balogun should of been loaned out last year. I am still beyond angry at Emery for refusing to loan out Eddie to Augsburg in January that year then not playing him for the rest of the season!
