stox259 Posted 30 August 2015 Author Share Posted 30 August 2015 With the new TV deal next season coming in as ridiculous as my next sentence is, £5 million is really a drop in the ocean and an insignificant amount of money (£5 million insignificant! Where is football nowadays). We would never sell our best chance of staying in the Premier League for £5 million. Imagine that. Buying Benalouane for the same amount as selling Mahrez. I have never been violent in my life but if that did happen I would quite literally punch someone in the face (whoever is the smallest/ slowest person involved in the transfer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will1981 Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 Sterling went for £49m, Mahrez is atleast as good as him if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballwipe Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 This is exactly the same as the De Bruyne, Stones, Berahino and Sterling situations. We don't want to sell and nor do we need to sell so as such he will be priced accordingly, and if he was to be purchased then they would have to pay an astranomical fee £5m is his right toe and if he was sold for anything between that and £20m we would be buffoons. We'll start the bidding at £35m and go from there. There's no value in us selling him this close to the window so we'd need to be fully compensated for it. Make teams pay through the nose, we are no longer a selling club. He's not the type but I'd rather pay him to play for the U-21's for the next five years rather than sell him for £5m if he ever kicked off and wanted to go. The story is total bullshit anyway, it's column filling tripe which other outlets have picked up on cause it's fantastic clickbait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £5m link is nonsense. And so is the whole story. There's no way wenger commented on mahrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car1os Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 I wonder if this arsenal fan will carry through his threat if Mahrez does go, not that I want him to sign for Whinger. http://talksport.com/football/arsenal-transfer-rumours-premier-league-top-scorer-linked-move-gunners-fan-reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyrob Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 Just read the Arsenal Forum. Out of interest, does anyone know off hand the last player we sold, who we didn't want to sell, who left because they wanted a bigger club or we sold them for the cash!

Webbo Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 Do you not think the fee might be 'what we think he's worth'? Unless when you say 'we', you mean the members of FT? The members of FT but the release fee would have been negotiated by his agent so as not to be too high to put possible buyers off. It would probably be less than we'd want.

Gerard Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 There are also nutters in here saying we wouldn't sell him for £40m. Mentalists everywhere these days There's an infinitely more chance of us refusing £40m than accepting £5m. It's sheer ignorance that the Arsenal fan who thinks we would find it hard to turn down £5m, someone should tell him 1990 was 25 years a go. Let's sell our best player in Mahrez so we can buy Benalouane with the proceeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 Mahrez is only going to go up in value would not sell at any price at the moment or have any sort of conversation on the matter.Let us hope that Mahrez is not too fazed by the gossip he seems pretty settled at the moment.

Costock_Fox Posted 30 August 2015 Share Posted 30 August 2015 I'm not nervous, either we get a crazy distorted price due to form/end of the window and we agree to get a proven replacement or he stays and continues to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
