Forgot about a buy-back clause if we sell him. He isn't coming back after getting shafted for Madueke and the inevitable PL plodder we'll probably get in his position 😭

Looked up this guy. He's 76. You'd hope at 76 you'd be past just making stuff up. But he's an Italian journalist reporting on am English player going to a German club so seems iffy.....

Dortmund and Leipzig specially after they sell Diomande will be interested but so far there no clear name or a team serious for him.

Don't know if it's legit or not but the "determined to retain long-term control" part is important. I think if we do let Ethan go, it should be a loan or a sale with a buy-back option. It can't be a regular sale.

Happy to sell him for £50m, we can keep a first option. If he becomes world class than we'll buy him back for £100m, spending £50m on a world class player then isn't so bad.

He needs to play if he wants to fulfil that potential, I don't think he'll reach it if he stays at Arsenal.

He's a player that needs to feel like the main man. He's not getting that here at the moment.

Is he actually good or is this just Hale End sentiment?
He is good but not at the level people were claiming during the run of games he got. He is certainly not like nelson, championship eddie etc who were treated like children here whilst mostly being useless

Don’t think he’s ever performed at a higher level than Nelson or Nketiah. Nowhere near the level of Saka, MLS or even Smith-Rowe.

Sort of feel that a decent sell on clause is more useful than a buy back clause...

The buying club will surely demand the "buy back" to be twice the price they pay, and you take a hit on the value of the player as well as limiting which clubs will want to do a deal on those terms. If he doesn't kick on you get nothing extra from the buy back. The player still has to want to come back to club or the clause is useless. It limits the ceiling price of the player, but could also inflate the price to become "Player X has a £100m buy back so we won't sell for less".

A 25% sell on clause is more useful all round. If the player kicks on and reaches a level where Arsenal want him back, you have an effective 25% discount on his market price to other clubs, giving great leverage in any deal. If he doesn't kick on you likely benefit from market inflation on any sale anyway. Look at Lyon and the Bruno deal.

We can do both. Ethan is 70-80m if sold in the PL. Selling him to someone like Leipzig for 50m and telling them 90m buy back and 30% on profit over 50m. They take it knowing they're getting an undervalued asset that will elevate their first team and will earn them profit in 2-3 years

I'd take £50M for him now. With a 20% sell-on clause.

He's not going to get a lot of minutes this or next year, might aswell capitalize on him.

You sell or you loan. Can't be sitting on our bench for £80k per week.

Arsenal Quotes

I still have an interest in training and development, in the stages that make it possible for players first to acquire technique (between 7 and 12) and then to develop physically (between 12 and 16), then to deepen their mental resilience (between 17 and 19) and finally between 19 and 22 to acquire what is critical, like the roof of a house without which all the rest rots away: intelligence and motivation
