Arsenal need to take a long, hard look at their relationship with Joorabchian
The super agent now has several clients at the club (including David Luiz!) and is making a lot of noise. Is he becoming a hindrance, asks Daniel Storey.inews.co.uk
Been doing abit of reading on Kia Joorabchian, who 100% has Moshiri's ear after a few Athletic articles.
Just to point out David Luiz signed for Arsenal the same day we signed Iwobi from Arsenal!
'Joorabchian spent last summer urging Stan Kroenke to release finances to improve the squad. He may merely have been speaking as a supporter, but as someone who has recently brokered transfers with the club, there’s a good chance he will also benefit from any uptick in Arsenal’s transfer business.'
Is an interesting passage! Noting Arsenal also signed Cedric Soares in January (Joorabchian's client also).
'But while Luiz has become the great unifier of Premier League supporters in need of a little light relief, there is something a little more serious at play here. According to a recent report in The Athletic, the defender’s 12-month Arsenal contract will cost the club £24m.
An £8m transfer bargain loses its shine when the wages and intermediaries’ fees total £16m. Remember to look underneath the pasta, to borrow Alex Ferguson’s famous phrase.'
So Arsenal had to fork out about £24m on Luiz on the 8th August 2019, the same day we paid Arsenal about £28million for Alex Iwobi.
Smells very fishy that! Joorabchian touts Luiz to Arsenal, Arsenal can't afford him, Joorabchian recomends Iwobi to Moshiri and tells him he's availible, we sign Iwobi, Arsenal sign Joorabchian's client Luiz, Joorachian gets a huge fee!
Always had reservations on why we paid so much for Iwobi, especially with Moshiri's past links to Arsenal, but surely that explains it!
Kia Joorabchian's growing influence sheds light on Arsenal's identity crisis | Nick Ames
The super-agent’s involvement in some eyebrow-raising deals has sparked fears that the once famously resourceful club no longer has a coherent approach to recruitment
www.theguardian.com
'The Football Association’s list of intermediary transactions, released this week, shows Sports Invest UK (Kia Joorabchian company) represented Arsenal in Alex Iwobi’s £35m move to Everton.'
Not directly but loosly id pretty much say he was!Was Rafael Benitez connected to Kia Joorabchian as well? Would explain why Moshiri forced him down our throat for six months.
Not directly but loosly id pretty much say he was!
Rafael was at Chelsea around the time a lot of Kia's clients were coming into Chelsea (Oscar, Willian, Pato, Kenedy etc)
That is when he had Tony Fernandes' ear at QPR, trying to get QPR to buy Chelsea players to free up funds for Chelsea to bring in his clients.
You also have the whole Mascherano saga about 15 years ago, were there was misgivings all over that deal, think it had to be a loan to start etc etc
Also loosely, Kia had a big influence on alot of players and managers going over to China, i wouldn't be surprised if he was behind Rafael moving out there
The only logic to using him is to fleece clubs for Keane, Gomes, Iwobi etc just as he did to us when we signed Iwobi.
Where’s Cilla Black?
Bargain at twice the price!How on earth you can still trust someone who sold you Iwobi for 40 milion pounds?
Why is he still around making business with all those failures marked to his name?
wheres ur profile pic from?Kenwright and Barrett baxendale are a disgrace, sitting there clapping away while joorabchian is sat behind them. They are part of the problem.
