Wojciech Szczesny (Out)

[{reed}]

Our best academy player!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Good luck Woj. hope you will be good replacement for a legendary keeper.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Good luck Woj, will follow you in the sporadic cup games you will get coming season.
I actually quite enjoy follow the rest of old gunners careers. Especially Judas, my god does he look depressed in Turkey.

Oh sh!t, JVP still in Turkey. Bwahahahaahaha

 

[Beksl]

Why do people worry so much about finances? It was obvious he and Wenger had a falling out and it was always going to end like this.

Probably only Arsenal use loans to get rid of players.

Man City, Chelsea and Sp**s do as well.

Sky say we're getting £14m, most papers say £10m, La Stampa says £10m+£3m add ons.

We got a decent fee for a player who hasn't been here for two years anyway if you look at it like that.

 

[Hunta]

Good luck to Szczesny as well, there was a time when I thought him and Jack would be here until they retired. He came through the adademy and loves the club, hope he does well.

Plus 60k a week off the wage bill doesn't hurt.

That's one down and a few more to go. Gotta get us a Lemar.

 

[Red London]

A lot of people I know getting upset about this

A good way to look at it is, Wenger basically outed him from the club two seasons ago and I'm surprised we didn't actually sell him there and then. After two years of loaning and running down the contract (poor by the board YET again), we still get £10-14m for the guy even though he hasn't even touched our pitch in 2 years.

This poor contract management however has to stop asap, I'm getting sick of it

 

[asukru]

Wish you the best Woj! Hope to see you succeed and excel at Juve.

 

[Bendtneer]

We Ospina and let Wojciech go what a shame.Ospina reminds me of Almunia the way he flaps at the ball.And I don't want to remember anything about Almunia that bastard let a goal go through his ****ing legs in the champions league final.And cost us a 1000 times before we finally got rid.

Doubt if we would ever have got more than 10-14m for an unnecessary goalkeeper on high wages. We have been guilty of managing contracts poorly, but this isn't an example of that. Look at it this way, he spent two years as no.1 at Roma and did a decent enough job for them. But even they rejected the chance to sign him form 10m. Good goalkeepers are a dime a dozen and only the very best command a premium. Schez doesn't belong to that elite tier, or we would've kept him ourselves.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

My favorite moment too. Anytime I think of Szczesny, I think of Bale getting taken out. Warms my cockles.

Roma didn't reject him, they just didn't have an buyout clause. Then Juve popped up and of course he decided to join Juve.

 

[Hunta]

Roma paid us loan fees as well don't forget, think it was reported as something like £1m for the first loan and £2m for the second.

They could've bid more than Juve if they wanted him. A loan without a buyout clause doesn't stop the loanee club from buying him permanently.

 

[Hunta]

Think our relationship with Roma is sour after they messed us up with Manolas and we had to get Mustafi.

The bastards.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Man City, Chelsea and Sp**s do as well.

Chelsea and Manchester City are the kings of this. True rent boy clubs.
