Yeah I like it, I think more English players should try La Liga, Serie A etc.

I think this is a slightly tired generalisation now. Most talented English players won't want to play outside of the prem, because it's one of the biggest leagues. How many of the main Italian players play abroad? Or Spanish? Or German? Not many, because their domestic leagues aren't shit enough to be desperate to leave.

Surprised by that. He is probably the most consistent of their defenders and leaves them a little short in a position they are lacking quality in.

Weird to sell him when his replacement (Tierney) isn't fit yet and might not be for a while. That means they only have Kolasinac on that flank for the time being.

Think Tierney is back training now so might be fit for their first game after the Internationals. Might be a bit of a weakness on that side tomorrow with Luiz at LCB, maybe Poch will play Son on the right to get at them.

Arsenal fan I play football with is one of those ridiculously biased fans.
Last week he was talking up their defence and Montreal. He will likely change his view on Monreal but not their team.

I'm seeing a fee quoted as being £250k !
That won't go far in paying wages for their superstars.

Especially as they gave him a new contract in the last 12 months as well. Just bad planning at that club.

I tend to think it's more to do with English players being worth more, such is their value in a league where nearly all are HG, where the prize money eclipses the other leagues.

They gave him and Jones new contracts in the summer. Sometimes that means player stays, sometimes its purely seeking more fee value if they sell.
Win/win for player and club moneywise.
We do it for most of our loans.
I don't see the fee value if they sell bit. To the club interested in buying they will not be worrying about what the players contract with his present club is. All they will be concerned with is how little they can get the player for.

You don't see how a player with years on his contract will bring in a higher fee than one in his final year?

Its pretty simple, a player with a year on their contract can turn around and say, well if youre going to ask for that much, I will wait a year and go for free, so accept less now or i leave for free
If the player has two years, the player has less leverage and so do the other club. Worth noting unless a team is actively trying to get rid and there isn't a market for him then the fee goes low otherwise. The other team is effectively buying the player out of his contract, the longer the contract the higher the compensation
If Aubameyang and Lacazette get injured that are completely stuffed.
