Arsenal making 55 redundancies. 

Ridiculous that they're making 55 people redundant but offering Aubameyang around £250/350K a week and looking at signing Willian etc. 

 

FA should start to make legislations that if jobs are being cut, the club has shackles on how they are able to carry out transfer business.

Yeah really poor for a big club to be doing this. I'd be really disappointed if we followed suit

Without knowing the details it's difficult, redundancy can only apply if the position is no longer required etc but it appears terrible. Imagine being a member of staff in a normal role, office, marketing or shop etc earning £25/30k a year and you're made redundant at the same time they're offering Aubameyang £250k a week.

Sky and Kaveh Solekhol in particular showing faux concern. "How can we talk about huge transfers when people are being made redundant?"

 

Please, spare me this bollocks. Maybe the fact large fees and wages are paid contributes to this happening?

Whilst you're right we don't know the finer details, but it isn't a good look to be announcing redundancies when it's known the money they're offering to players.

Willian to arsenal makes no sense sure he could have gone to a better team abroad. 

Might want to stay in London?

Maybe. Arsenal still carrying on buying attacking players when their defence needs a massive upgrade

We can only dream of signing a player like Willian

 

Not sure if you being sarcastic or not lol but 37 goals in 264 Premier League games for a top club like Chelsea. His highest league tally is 9 goals. Ayoze Perez had 12 for Newcastle in 18/19. 

 

No thanks. 

 

I'm surprised he even lasted at Chelsea for so long.

Same as Chelsea.

 

Just good for sides like us though.

Seems to be that Arsenal are undergoing a major recruitment staff change to a more agent-led approach. Hopefully with our new training ground we could make some scouting additions!

Arsenal have a billionaire owner and yet some quarters of the football media are singling out  Aubameyang and Ozil for thiese redundancies.

Man City not messing around in the transfer window then now ake for 41m as well as the guy from valencia. Would think they would be in for at least one more defender and a striker still

It's not just about goals now is it? The fact that he's had 264 games for Chelsea tells you all you need to know about his quality not to mention the games for Brazil.  Next you'll be saying just because he plays for Brazil doesn't mean he's any good.

 

Sure he's aging now but he's still way out of our league to sign up.

I think the extended season for Man Utd, Wolves and to a.lesser extent Chelsea (who are all but out) will severely impact next season for each. 

 

Although they'll get a delayed season start, mentally the players won't be rested. Our lads have three  weeks solid R&R now (whatever form of r&r is for some of the lads) and switch off. 

 

Meanwhile Maguire and co are seeing out a 5-0 win in an empty stadium

Wasn't Solskjaer complaining about how much Maguire was playing earlier this season? 

 

Plays him in a meaningless game tonight.

Meanwhile Man City have been allowed to spend as much money as they want, so they offer to pay £999,999 more than the asking price, just for the bantz

Shame. Could have been a good signing for us. But at £40m he is overpriced for us.

Arsenal saving 2 or 3 mill/year on salaries by putting 55 on the dole is disgusting........ 

Pretty tragic they are making people redundant who are mostly earning normal every day salaries, then they have players earning 4-5 times the average salary in one week. Those players should be embarrassed surely if they all took a 5% cut it funds the jobs?

 

It's hard to still love football sometimes.

Arsenals redundancies according to an Arsenal mate are due to the fact that Wenger had employed lots of people who pretty much did nothing. When it comes to transfers, they end up having more than a dozen people discussing them together, rather than just two or three. I think someone earlier in the thread posted a lot of the scouts and recruitment people are going.

 

It is a sad situation that obviously people are losing their jobs while they're paying footballers 350k a week, but if the job isn't useful anymore, then it's going to be canned unfortunately. I'd like to think that the billionaire owners or the football squad would club some money together to ensure that all of the individuals who are going to be made redundant will get a decent sized pay off to see them right for the next year or so.
