Strikers

Calm Down Gooners, we have signed a striker Harry Clarke from Ipswich "Tractor Boys" academy.

No, not boredom but because, for example, Real Madrid and Barcelona and slightly better than Spurs and Liverpool. And again none of the clubs would have sold the players if they didn't demand to leave. And Karim Benzema hasn't, neither has Aguero or Lewandowski.

You just have to offer them a load of cash and a guarantee of starting in a club that 'could' compete for the league and is in the champions league.

In our position it is essentially all down to cash. We are in one of the top leagues, champions league every season, great facilities, english speaking country and are based in London.

If we put up the cash the way I see it only Chelsea would compete on those factors in England.

When did Chelsea sign a starter from Barcelona or Real Madrid? Or even Bayern? Are you guys living in a different world?

When did they ever bid enough to get one? Chelsea have spent a lot, but rarely if ever have they spent one huge sum on one player. What world are you living in where Barca and Real Madrid are in a financial situation to say no to £100m+?

This is becoming stupid already. If a player doesn't want to move (and he is a starter in a top club because that's what we were arguing about (benzema, lewandowski etc)) no amount of cash will get him. Of course if you're not talking about offering 500 million pounds for lewandowski which is never going to happen. We can debate about a scenario. Let's say we want Suarez, he is loved at his club, he loves his club, he has crazy high wages and his club is the best in the world. Now realistically Suarez is worth about 80 million pounds (they bought him for 75 and it was after a season like we've never seen before and he'll probably never replicate). You offer them 80 million which is already a little too much. (even by today's crazy standards 80 million pounds is a very high end transfer fee) They would tell you to stick the money where the sun don't shine. In 1 pound bills.

It'd probably take £150m or his release clause to buy Suarez but again he would be available at a price. An extra-orbital price but a price none-the-less.

What about giroud? 40 million to pry him from arsenal?

I'd bite someones hand off if they offered 40m for Giroud

But a price nonetheless is unreasonable. I'll use an unreasonable example for an unreasonable argument, 1 billion pounds would buy you Suarez. Realistically he is worth 85 max and that won't get you his services. End of discussion.

Worth is determined by club dependent factors. Sterling is worth 49m for City, he isn't worth that amount to us. Homegrown, world class potential and already a very good player.

Suarez would be worth 100m+ for us considering our striker situation and how much closer it would be to us winning the League.

Considering you're broke no one is worth 100m+.

Arsenal are far from broke

Ok

This discussion is super dumb.

Of course it has to do with money. Fact.

Yes you could buy 99.999999% of every player on this planet for the right amount. Fact.

Stop thinking footballers are anything else than employees. Gone are the days of Tony Adams. Loyalty is an illusion. Money rules.

Fact.

Except Jack right!?

Offer 100mil for all our targets, proven or not, lets show that money works.

Never said anything about loyalty. Why would Benzema want to move from Real Madrid to Arsenal. And if what you're saying is a fact, Spurs should be able to buy one from Benzema, Suarez, Lewandowski, Cavani. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT IT'S BULLSHIT AND THEY WON'T GET ANY OF THEM EVEN IF THEY OFFER 90 MILLION POUNDS. LEAVE ME A LONE I'M RIGHT.

Why wouldn't he?

If Spurs offered Real Madrid £90m and then £250k/week in wages for Benzema, of course they would get him. Who would say no to that deal? Why would he ever say no to that? You live in a dream world where players are loyal to some imaginary tiered judgement process based on the reputation of a club, when in reality they are just employees who would double their salary in a heartbeat.

Just look at all the players that have gone to Russia, do you think Hulk went for the glamour?

They wouldn't. Stop talking nonsense. Putting Hulk beside Benzema - nonsense.
