Lukaku

Him and his agent will probably want it in there more than we will.

this.

to keep him happy, to make it a sale.

we have to be realistic that if we bought he probably won't finish his career here, same with just about any young singing, he will give us great service and we will sell for a healthy profit though.

100% certain we wouldn't want to actually put it in there, but if he says put one in or i don't sign, there's nothing too wrong with that - just need to make sure we put it high enough.

Get him for 24m give him a buy-out clause of 50m like they do in Spain.

Give him 75k a week and assume him he'll be our top earner if he reaches his potential and stays long enough.

Mate, Name a club in the last 20 years who has won the Prem without spending vast amounts of money

Blackburn,Chelsea,Arsenal,Utd and City are the only teams to win the league since 92 and all of them have spent a fortune

Believe what you will but we are not winning the league unless we invest heavily in the squad, Top 4 is a massive ask never mind finishing top

Not true.

In the season Arsenal last won the league they only spent £16m net on transfers. The time before that they only spent £10m net.

You've just been Brennan'd.

Handpicking a couple of seasons where Arsenal haven't spent as much and claiming that proves Arsenal haven't spent a fortune compared to other clubs outside the top 4 is misleading.

Arsenal spend on players.

£22m spent 99\00

£35m 00\01

£15.5m 01\02

£20.5m 03\04

£36.9m 05\06

£31m 07\08

That doesn't even include the time beforehand when they bought the likes of Overmars, Petit.

So is posting the sums you have when they're not net spend and thus don't take into account player sales.

Nobody is saying Arsenal didn't spend money, but their net spend has never been massive.

 

[Ashtonian]

if we do sign him then he will go for 40 million plus when we then sell him on. I can guarantee you that.

Although the red in work is still convinced he is going to athletico
