2016/17 rumourmill and confirmed transfers

[Karabiner]

Think it is important to remember £20m in the summer of 2016 with the huge new TV deal isn't the same as £20m in 2014 and 2015.   It probably equates to £12-15m tbh. 

It's £30m, isn't it? Thought that's what arsenal have offered?

If they'd spent 20m on him on a 3 year deal, I'd genuinely say it's worth the gamble.

50% more than that for 140k a week on a four year deal seems over the odds for a manager who buys on analytics, given the steepness of the cliff for pacy players.

The word is that Vardy has a £20M release clause.

I agree if those are the figures.  £58m for a 29 year old jobber before last season over 4 years does look very toppy who will probably age badly towards the back end of the contract as well.  Then the indirect cost of getting Walcott off the wage bill by having to sell him at less than his true market value because no one will take his contract on will be another 'hit' to the balance sheet.

That's what I thought but:

1) Tighty quoted £29.8m on TfT this morning
2) Arsenal and release clauses don't seem to get on.

I think the nearest Wenger signing in style of play would be Anelka
Others he has signed are Eduardo,Wiltord ?more box players Gervinho? Played wider

I think teams generally defend against Arsenal quite deep anyway, let them have it up to the edge of the area kind of thing

Man city have struggled to get Aguero much space in behind because teams defend so deep and narrow against them ,luckily Sergio has more than just pace to his game

Amazes me how many managers sign players with no set plan for them, Benteke to Liverpool for example
Think Vardy will end up on the bench by xmas

[nirvana]

Vardy will be a great signing when arse play away and against the better teams. Against Leicester at home we might wanna buy Andy Carroll for giggles

Larry David used to be erratic with punctuation, often putting spaces either side of a comma, no full stop at the end of sentences etc.

[TightEnd]

The release clause is £23m

Arsenal are paying £29.8m (i am told)

i gather the extra is the price of a quick deal, leicester playing ball and allowing them to get a net figure of the sell on clause after the fleetwood sell on has been paid

1) Probably is the figure if we win the treble for the next two years.
2) They seem to be our lasagna.

This aimed at me?

To think sometimes people wonder why the forum is dead and people complain about lurkers etc.......
