Yeah this is a pretty constant problem for arsenal. They're consistently getting stuck with players they don't want and failing to hold onto players they do.

He's one of them. There are about 6 players that Arsenal need to move on but can't because they're overpaid.

All clubs with high wage bills have that problem. United sell very cheaply e.g. letting Rooney go for free just to get him off the books. Chelsea and City create loan armies.

Don't get me wrong, gently caress Qatar and this bullshit deal, but boy is it entertaining watching Barcelona flounder around like an angry child because someone else is doing to them what they have done to everyone else for years, without punishment or repercussion.

Arsenal are not alone in overpaying for players but their inability to hold onto the ones they need is entertaining.

Agreed. If they were going to sign Lemar it would've happened already. I imagine they'll ship out out a few on deadline day and sign Mahrez. Also Ospina said he wants to stay so that's neat.

.....Surely they will let him go for even half of that. Short of him coming out next season and dying for all man's sins his sophomore season is going to fall victim to not meeting expectations.

Maybe, but I don't think they'd still be negotiating if there was fully no chance.

Oozing machismo

quote:

Former US international Freddy Adu has joined the Polish club Sandecja Nowy Sacz on trial, despite their manager not wanting him there.

The 28-year-old Adu was regarded as one of football’s most promising talents when DC United made him the youngest athlete ever to sign a professional contract in the United States in 2004, but a permanent move to Sandecja, who are newly promoted to the Polish first division, would represent his 14th club in a ninth different country.

Sandecja said in a statement they will make a decision on Adu after his medical, but their manager Radoslaw Mroczkowski was outspoken in his disagreement with the move.

“It’s a joke,” Mroczkowski told Polish website Sportowefakty.pl. “I read in the media about his trial. I asked the sporting director [Arkadiusz Alexander] why he did not tell me anything [about Adu]. After all, he sent me a text message that there ‘will be a player on trial’ and that they all knew. Marketing knew, the staff at the club knew ... Only the coach did not know who the trialist was.”
