Arsenal are set to submit a new bid for Jeremy Monga after Leicester Cityrebuffed their initial proposal for the 16-year-old gem.

The Gunners are willing to push hard to sign the talented wide prospect, who featured 27 times in the Championship for the Foxes last season as they were relegated to League One in gut-wrenching fashion.

Sources remain tight-lipped on the numbers behind Arsenal's opening offer but the direction of travel is that they will try again and that there's confidence the player wants to move to the Emirates Stadium - despite the efforts of other Premier League clubs including Newcastle and Brentford.

While negotiations can take place now, any deal is likely to be shelved until after July 10, when Monga will turn 17 and his first professional contract at the King Power Stadium will become active.

Leicester are in no hurry to sell given the raft of interest and will only do a deal once their financial valuation has been satisfied.

They had no shots at half time the  difference the Coventry bloke made in comparison he was rapid.

90k, 60k, 45k, doesnt matter. It's still far more than we can afford and what he deserves.

 

The average championship wage is £10k a week and the average league one wage is £5k a week so Winks should be somewhere between that.

Pretty irrelevant, given that when we signed him we had just been a prem team for over 10 years. With players on ridiculous salaries.

Good luck signing anyone with any decent experience on 10k at that stage

Winks was reported as 60 risking to 90k with promotion

This was debunked in the athletic “less than 45k in the championship”

You are going to get physically bullied week in, week out, unless you have some serious steel in this division.

I think he has alluded to being a little bit dynamic depending on the squad strengths earlier in his career

At MK Dons we had two strong, powerful centre-forwards so played two strikers and found a way to score goals. At Swansea we didn't have any wingers so we had to play defenders or midfielders.

"Last season we had so much attacking power for the Championship we scored a lot of goals.

"Now the guys are doing what we were told we couldn't in terms of having so much of the ball in the Premier League, but there has to be the same mentality there was last year.

"Whichever style of play you have, the game is about beating your opponent and dominating your opponent, and we don't do that quite enough yet."

We can't afford to pay him. He'll have to move on

Contract triggered a one year extension when we were promoted

He should be exempt from SCMP  (3 years deal before 2025) and was on 40k to 45k and it will be cut even further

Only 2 players not going to be here liked this 

Daka hoping that he might get re-signed  

Let’s hope he doesn’t blame new arrivals and cohesion if he gets off to a shit start like at Rangers

Imagine trusting Russell Martin, a very one dimensional manager tactically, with one of the biggest squad rebuilds we have had in a very very very long time

 

He will be sacked by Christmas and the clowns will do the same again and bring in another manager whose style of play is the opposite and doesn’t match the squad at all

Nothing like a bit of due diligence.

Martin suggested "less change so quickly" may have been a better approach and alluded to a lack of "cohesion" during his early period in charge.

"There was so much change," said the former MK Dons, Swansea City and Southampton boss.

"I walked in to the club at a time of new owners that had literally been in there two weeks when I came in. New director of football, chief exec, head of performance, new head coach, 14 new players.

"I tried to stress a lot that it probably would take some time so that's my fault because I was in a place where historically and traditionally you don't really have time.

Most of the games won were at the start of the season

If you exclude the wins in November, December, and one in January.

and bar Daka being a useless twat, we probably win a couple more where we kept clean sheets.  

 So that doesn’t apply to Martis time where he was banging in goals every week.

It’s very different to take on a team that has its morale destroyed, confidence shot, fitness blown and a basic inability to keep a clean sheet, that was all Cifuentes doing, he was a terrible terrible manager, a lot of the wins came early season before he had further embedded his shit tactics, I have no doubt he takes us down, if he stayed we would not have won another game

If you’re a shit manager it is. 
The difference with Marti is he occasionally won games.

Ooooo bloke that led took over a team that lost their best player and lost 3 in 3 or a nonce that had 1 win in 7 for Rangers.

 

This guy gets to build his own squad to be fair and is in a lower division, so he should nail being better than 1 in 7.

Don’t know what you’re talking about at the start, 3 in 3?

Martin took 8 points from the first 7 league games.

”but Rangers should be beating everyone”

How many defeats did Rohl finish with in his last 7 games?

4 with a total of 9 points

We are more skint that you thought..

 

With bills of between 55m-70m looming and projected incomings of around 14m, I'd say that is the purest definition of skint you will ever find..

And yet he would be better than RM to sort us out and get us back towards being close to being a yo-yo club. 
 

Marti was worse than GR.

 

So was RVN. 
 

Oh and Pooper. 

Based on what, clearly not the results you have seen

Remit, to keep us up.

10 points from 36

I'd have Rowett a thousand times over Martin.

 

 

Yeah makes perfect sense, a bloke that recently had 2 relegations in one season and win percentage under 1.0 

Cooper has a promotion from the champ, bring sloth home

I’m not losing my mind but if I was offered Aiyawatt to leave the club by midnight tonight but in return I’d have to accept league 2 instead of league one I’d snatch your hand off and im being totally honest. 
 

It’s become that bad now ! 

And all the overheads just disappear like magic 

He can’t get us relegated from the championship

I think that we have to question whether any manager or squad can be successful with our current setup.

Maresca could, with a very strong squad. But we've degraded a lot since then.

Depends how you class successful, we have just seen Hull promoted on a shoestring budget whilst we were relegated from the league.

What is successful over the next two seasons?

Promotion and reaching the playoffs the following season with a rejuvenated squad of talented younger players I guess, but it’s all subjective and will depend hugely on what is invested back into the team.

Should be locked 

otherwise we will get painful updates every-time his scores for his next club.

Those two updates per year will be like the shudders you get when you see his name on a team sheet
