✍️ OFFICIAL Konstantinos Mavropanos (Out)

[<<reed>>]

Up to 5m is poverty. Its basically giving him away.

People were praising how Arteta and Edu got rid of dead wood. They paid them off to leave.

Again we are getting rid of players we deem not good enough but we are getting nothing back in return.

Poor management and business. It goes to show how incompetent these guys are. Should have been closer to the 10m mark.

yousif_arsenal and the usual suspects will tell you that Mavro is the worst CB in the world and Edu has done a great job getting 3m for him

Well if only bumliga team interested him so the usual suspects are right

Agree, if Real/Barca aren't interested it means the player is trash and we should sell for 3m.

Can you imagine how happy they'll be when we sign RLC from Chelsea?

 

[dka1]

Yeah, you can say we've moved on a CB and did atleast get some money for it.

And sure, tbh we did well by getting a sell on clause (though we don't know the particulars about it, like the % and other potential conditions).

But can I hand on heart say that I feel we got the most out of this that we could? Na, not a chance.

I feel like that too often.......

We'll see how it plays out though.

 

[14Henry]

You don't think we negotiated?

If the final fee could be somewhere between 3-4m what did Stuttgart first offer? €50 and a 6 pack of Erdinger?

Wise up its a bad deal. He helped them finish more or less mid table last season. Seemed to have made a big impact there.

Paying Özil of to leave.
Paying most of Kolasinacs wages last season.
Paying Mustafi off to leave.
Selling a young talented CB for 3-4m.

None of that is good business.

Liverpool got 10m for Mingolet fs. Him useless too. I doubt many clubs were bidding for him.

well i'm not happy about the total fee i was expecting at least 10M

 

[Gooner416]

We settled for a lower fee to get that sell on clause. Curious as to how much, if it's less than 30% of next sale, then **** is worse at his job than @Riou on football manager who has been sacked multiple times.

The final overall fee is £5M bro, read. Also has a sell on clause involved, could easily go for £20M in the future.

 

[berric]

Young, talented, one of the best players of the season for Stuttgart that's on the up, just got his international debut and is on a long contract with AFC.

Not only that but why add obligation to buy so low? What if next season he plays a blinder and they get him for 3m? Lol.

These executives should be investigated.

 

[Riou]

No one could have gotten anything for Özil (at that point in his career) Mustafi or Sead, tbh...with the wages we put them on, we doomed ourselves then.

We should be getting more for Mavro though.

 

[berric]

Say what you want about the guy but Raul Sanlehi would squeeze out at least 10 million from this lot.

 

[14Henry]

Overall fee could be 5m. Depending on what way their season goes. No guarantees.

If only we had been smart enough putting in one of those "up to" fees with Pepe, Saliba, even Willians wages.

You obviously think it's a good deal because you don't want anything reflecting bad on your boy Arteta and his side kick.

Everyone knows it's a poor deal. But nothing new with this club. Buy expensive sell cheap. And we wonder why we have a **** team lol. Simple really.

 

[TimoJens]

Reminder for all the transfer budget mathematicians that it's a 500k loan fee. Only permanent if they stay up.

500k that we can put in our great warchest. More than 250m in there now, thats lovely.

Agree the fee is low but wasn't Mavro like 2m purchase? Also, we collected loan fees along the way.

 

[14Henry]

He cost 2m. We got like half a million loan fee.

The bottom line is if we were to buy a player like him from Stuttgart how much would it cost? 3-5m? No. Would be 15m rising to 20m probably.

 

[TromsoGooner]

White for 50M and practically giving Mavropanos away?

We got more for a 45 year old Laurent Koscileny who had injuries and basically went on strike.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I'm surprised he's got any value at all, been here 3 and a half years and hasn't played.

 

[14Henry]

I'm surprised he's got any value at all, been here 3 and a half years and hasn't played.

So we can expect about a similar value for a Saliba then in a year or two based on that theory. Great business.
