fox_up_north Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 I'm on other forums and Arsenal fans are getting arsey (chortle) that we're daring to say no to their cash plus player offers. "BUT, BUT, NELSON AND MAITLAND NILES"

turlo Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 What did Rodgers say in the weeks leading up to the Chillwell and Slabhead transfers? Really hope we've already told Arsenal to f off

The inference is though that he, Rodgers, will have little say in whether Maddison leaves.He will continue to select him for the team as that is his job but if the club decides to sell he cannot veto that decision. It makes team planning a short term thing at best.

It makes team planning a short term thing at best. If we sell him from under Rodgers nose he will be the next one gone. Top is in charge not Mike Ashley. Top does not work like that. Honesty is paramount in Thai culture. 2

I don’t know what else that journo expected. The answer is obvious, he is for sale at the right price. Every player is. If someone pays £100m, Maddison will leave. But if he says it, it will make big headlines needlessly and unsettle the player. I’ve answered my own question there, he asked a loaded question looking for a headline, Rodgers didn’t bite.

turlo Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 he did swerve the follow up question a bit though when asked to confirm that he's not for sale

AKCJ Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 1 minute ago, turlo said: he did swerve the follow up question a bit though when asked to confirm that he's not for sale Ultimately it's a daft question designed to do exactly what happened. Brendan can't give fans any sort of confidence in that regard because it's not up to him. I think it's fairly obvious for all our players in that they have an asking price and a sale can be made with the right circumstances. Trouble is I think Maddison's asking price will be too high for Arsenal and will only get larger as we get closer to the window. The club won't let him go for cheap and these rumours of Maitland-Niles, Reiss Nelson and Joe Willock are, at best, naive from Arsenal.

I'm sure the twitter statement analysis experts have concluded this means Leicester want Arsenal to put in a bid for him

Winsum Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Rodgers made it clear that he wanted Maddison in his side.If the club sell then it really puts Rodgers in a difficult Position regarding building a decent squad We have sold a lot of quality players in the last five years but eventiually it will hurt us Tielemans still to commit, Maddison goes and I feel Tielemans will see a lack of ambition and will go and the next will be Rodgers If you want a bigger mansion to okay in then you don’t want tat masquerading as decent furniture
st albans fox Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 It’s clear - pay the money or F off what Rodgers could say is that ‘beyond a certain date we wouldn’t allow a sale of any of our first team players unless it was a crazy amount of money’. But he didn’t Even the level headed gooners down here expect something to happen with madders …

Babylon Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Not an entirely convincing reply in terms of him wanting to keep him was it.
