Arsenal are taking the proverbial

Submitted by alby foreverirons on Wed, 21/06/2023 - 01:02

I for one am sick of the crap coming out of Arsenal, fans saying Decs is not worth the money, them thinking that they are the future winners of everything Football. It’s years since they have won anything and this year they finally had the chance and what happened, they bottled it. For me the result when they were two up and Sala missed the penalty, then us coming back to draw was really when the crap hit the wall for them. Now they are lowballing us on the sale of our super star Declan Rice as if we should bow to their demands and sell him to them. The two bids are an insult and as far as I am concerned they can do one, the problem is Sullivan’s big mouth on Talkshite. He went on their talking up the fact that Decs was offered a big £200 thousand a week offer but knocked it back, what he didn’t say that the contract was for eight years, no one wants to be tied down to a contract for that long when they know that in two or three years they could go to Real Madrid, Man City or a champions league team and earn double that.
What has torpedoed Sullivans plan of starting a bidding war has been Decs and his agent saying he only wants to go to Arsenal which has probably turned off a lot of clubs, look at Bayern Munich. Now Arsenal know they have the edge on everyone so they believe they can get him for a lot less than what we value Decs at so they keep putting in insulting offers. For me we should activate his extension clause because when as Sullivan said about the agreement that he could leave it would have to be if our value was met, if Arsenal don’t value Decs at that price then he stays as far as West Ham should be concerned.

Actually heard Decs or his agent publicly state that Arsenal is his preference anywhere except the media spiel. And I don't think there are as many clubs in the so called bidding war as Mr Sullivan would like and I think Arsenal know that. Sullivan really should have kept his great big gob SHUT. If it was as clear cut as that I would have expected the deal to be done and dusted by now. Don't be surprised if he goes on the last day of the transfer window with Hammers sitting on a wad of money and no-one in to replace him if it happens at all.

Unfortunately you are correct, Sullivan isn't used to dealing with real class, the back drop of images when he signed up Pellegrini in Theydon Bois proves the point!

One of Sullivan's many problems is he always seems to think he's the smartest one in the room. As soon as he opens his mouth everyone's doubts are confirmed and take him for a ride. Really wish he would do one an sell up.

Man City and Man United are both now coming in for Decs and according to Fabio Romano Decs is open to the move, for me if Man City do come in then that’s where he should go if he wants to win trophies. Mind you City are talking about money plus Kalvin Phillips and for me that is a player that I for one don’t want, to injury prone. If United come in and hey get Mason Mount then I can see Decs thinking about it but they are going to offer money plus either Maguire or Mctominay. Out of the two I would prefer the latter as I think him and Paqueta plus a proper defensive midfielder does appeal.

I have consistently said Man City will come in with an offer that will blow Arse and others miles away. With Dec in their squad they become the real deal for Euro Champs for the next 5 / 10 years!

We also have a bit of a friendship with citeh fans so I'd rather him go there & then come back in a few years time!

yep, go along with that particularly the old school fans, in the shadow of Old Trafford for years.

Good friend of mine, lives in the south, Manc born unable to get a ticket for the playoff against Gillingham, watched the game at our house with my bruv (played for The Gills at reserve level), beers, curry etc. What a game... said it was the third best day of his life (behind the birth of the two sons). From that day on had a season ticket, travelled around the country and the icing on the cake was a photo he sent me of him at Istanbul wearing his 60th birthday prezzi we bought him... The yellow and black stripped replica shirt from that Playoff!!!
