If the fee is only £15m then that’s why 

a player of his profile should be more than that 

 

100k/week!

I think fan’s understanding of value for money has gone out of the window. Some of the same people who were moaning about the cost of Winks last year are saying this is a good buy. 
 

£15m for an Arsenal bench warmer who isn’t a priority position seems somewhat frivolous. We need a proper No. 10.

Have we been linked with a pure #10? Either we don't plan to need one. or we are being stealthy (Not surprising)

Would be one of our top earners as well. Overall it would be an expensive player to bring in and I don't think he's good enough to warrant the total cost.

Seule would probably work out cheaper! With a bigger resale value?

Not necessarily. 

Might be that we are shipping out McAteer and Wanya on loan or selling them. We would potentially have Nelson, Mavididi, Fatawu, Decodova Reid, Soule as our attacking midfield options and that is without taking into account Alves and Golding who have also featured in pre season.

anyone seen what the Arsenal fans are saying about this?

My Gooner mate says a decent enough player, but not up to their PL/CL aspirations. Happy to offload him and other fringe players in order to reinvest.

[Phenom]

Would not pay him 100k a week. Sounds like something Forest would do

[em9999]

I think some of these reports that Nelson is on 100 grand a week are wildly inaccurate

Stinks of a Forest-Esque signing.

It's on Spotrac as well

It looks like he basically got himself a massively improved salary when his old contract was on the way out.  Arsenal overpaying on wages to protect his value.

Their inaccuracies are usually down to improved contracts over time.

[TheLittleBigMan]

Surely we would only be paying part of his wages?

Did he manage to get two new contracts in a year? It just doesn't look right that.

 

But this could be why we are looking at the loan, with an obligation if we stayed up.

If he's on 100k a week I don't see how it happens given the player has that for a decently long contract.

[em9999]

It would appear he is on ,100 grand a week I'm amazed ... 

 

 

[enmac]

Nketia is on the same wages. Another no, no then.

“It seems that after months of negotiations and a couple of rejected contract offers, that Arsenal have now come to an agreement with Reiss Nelson to ensure his future at the Emirates.

It is being reported today by the Mailthat has been significant breakthroughs in the talks and the player has “agreed in principle” to sign the latest offer, including a reported four-year extension and a “significant rise” on his current wages which is worth around £60,000-per-week, so I wonder if it will come close to the 100,000 Pounds a week that we are said to have given Eddie Nketiah last summer?”

You think that’s amazing?

 

Have a look in the Danny Ward thread 😂

I think the player is worth 20/25m 

 

if we’re paying 15m then the 5/10m difference is to cover what we’re prepared to pay him in wages (say 65k)  and what Arsenal are paying him (100k) 

thats 3 years at 35k/week = approx 5m  (plus a loan fee for this season which will be approx 2m)

HOW?

[Gloria]

£100k a week (and no doubt a five year contract), plus obligation not option to buy are both scary thoughts. Have the board not learnt anything? (I know, being rhetorical, innit).

The one thing we had to learn from when we went down, was overpaying on salaries.  One player won't be the difference to keep us up.

Stupid salaries = Betrand, Vestegaard v1.0, Soumare, Slimani, Ward etc.  Can't get rid when we realise they're rubbish.

 

[FoxinNotts]

We'd take him on loan paying part of his wages, will an obligation to buy, with certain criteria

The question though is why would he leave Arsenal on a 100k a week contract for the next 3 years (possibly 4) to come to us on a lower wage?
