Gabriel Jesus | Joins Arsenal for £45m

[Pingu the Penguin]

What's the holdup for this deal? Arsenal not willing to match our ask?

Tbf the window hasn’t opened yet!

50M for is about right. Always tried his best and not complained about being rotated. He'll get a lot more game time elsewhere and i wish him well. Never quite good enough as a CF for us though tbh.

Doubled our money on him

 

[Bluearmy]

is that guy reliable? because that's like 300k per week..

No chance that is accurate surely. They will likely have to pay some kind of premium on his wages due to no Champs League but that seems excessive!!

 

[Jack Hackett]

I’ve seen no confirmation of this deal - is this just the usual transfer froth?

 

[Constantine]

€300k+ (around £265k+) per week from the Arse? Too good to be true.

Extremely overhyped player Saka. Not good enough for us

Good diver though

 

[Tartarian Blue]

Good diver though

Saka is surely destined for the dippers one day then

There's an imbalance of wages building up if the wages mentioned in a thread are correct.
Stones on 200,000 and Jesus on 90,000. Bernardo who everyone says is irreplaceable is on half of what Grealish gets.
You can understand certain players looking elsewhere,I'm not suggesting it's the primary motive but the difference between some of our top players are hard to comprehend.

Sounds about right tbh.They have cleared a ton of wages from Lacazette and Aubameyang etc.

If they are selling themselves to Jesus and are going to make him the main man then they have to pay him like he is.

Gabby and Bernardo have both been offered pay rises though.

Stones will be on whatever he gets paid because he actually signed the contract offered.

Grealish will be on massive wages because he was a marquee signing, unlike Gabby and Bernardo. We're not going to drop silly money on someone to pay them sensible wages.
