I remember racehorse trainer Mark Johnston once said something along the lines of...
'Whenever the money comes calling, always take it.' Its difficult for tony bloom and Brighton, what with Arsenal becoming something of a perennial pest during transfer windows. Take the money and run. And let the gunners know never to darken their door again. |

If i were a Gooner, and plenty of my family are, I would be more cockahoop than the Tottenham cockerel what Paul Gazza Gascoigne famously took a pot shot at with an air rife.
Fly me, that Chad Kroenke has worked the oracle there hasnt he? Got rid of the underperforming fancy dans like Aubameyang and Ozil and brought in hungry up and comers like Gabby Jesus and Odegaard. Without any dip in quality, in fact with a noticable increase in performance. Now they just dodged a 70m bullet for an unproven center mid to get a proven international and champions league winner in Jorginho. Wesley snipes once said in the film Passenger 57 'always bet on black'. Are Arsenal the best run club in the league? If thats the case then bet on red.... |

Well over 100 games in Serie A.
Well over 100 games in the Premier League. Nearly 50 games for a successful country with plenty of talent to choose from. ~ £15m. Much better than £70m or £80m for someone who has little experience or gametime. |

Not really a fan of Jorginho personally. For us, I'd love Liverpool to see if we could get Kovacic for a half-decent fee. That lad always looks good to me.

The perfect fit for me was Douglas Luiz

I'm just wary of the EPL premium. Caicedo is probably the perfect example. Still very new, but played less than 100 senior games in his entire career. He's a £20m punt, but now you're seeing £60m quoted. Just seems mad and unsustainable. Should be looking further afield I reckon. But Kovacic for ~£20m would be good imo.

Brighton will get their asking price because they don't have to sell anyone, their bank balance is in rude health with their excellent scouting system.
|
|
By:
Of course prices are even madder than usual. For the reason look no further than Todd Boehly.

Boehly wants to pay £105m for a striker who Benfica paid £10m for 6 months ago

Boehly a perfect example of somebody with more money than sense, Simon Jordan trying to look clever by going against the grain and saying he knows what he's doing, getting around FFP he does but from a footballing perspective it is senseless, they only bought Sterling for 60 mil 5 months ago and now he looks surplus to requirements with Mudryk coming in who they only got because Arsenal wanted him, it was a big w1lly waving act on their part, look at us we're top dogs we can get who we want, you can't buy class. Knee jerk reaction to buy Fernandez for over 100 million who's barely scored 20 goals in his career, but he's a World Cup winner so that in Boehly's mind gives him gravitas in his billionaire circle of chums, who out there was even bidding 50 mil for him, release clause or not if no other bidders of that range then they'd have got him eventually, is he even better than Gallagher.

The only tome I noticed Fernández during the world cup was when he scored a goal but I accept he's a midfielder.

Just 15 months ago Jorginho was UEFA's Player of the Year and also came 3rd in the Balon d'Or, behind Messi and Lewandowski. Known for his work-rate and for constantly talking throughout games. Won Euro 2020 (and named in the Team of the Tournament) and a Champions League. Sounds like a good asset and a bargain price.
|
|
By:
Uninspiring, not sure why we're signing Chelsea cast offs. He's going from bench to another anyway.
|
|
By:
Tbf mes, for the next 5 months to get us over the line, I reckon it could be a good bit of business.
He has experience of winning & high pressure situations & will be good for the kids to have around. Caicedo way overpriced for what he's done plus no experience at the top table. |
|
By:
Actually think Jorginho is a decent signing.
|
|
By:
Good business. Player has pedigree and certainly better than El Neneny who us injured. Might add to the dressing room and certainly talking on the pitch will help. Puts Brighton back in the box and sends a message to West Ham
|

By:
JOURGH plays the pep/arteta game manipulating/rotating the ball in midfield boring most fans to death,but he,ll do a job and he,s got the bonus of having 2 centre forwards at arsenal who make forward runs unlike at chelsea
|
|
By:
I don't think Brighton have been put back in their box. They don't want to sell the player atm. Come the summer there may well be renewed interest but the player has 3 years left on his contract so the decision will be Brighton's.
As for sending West Ham a message, I'm pretty sure they don't want to sell Rice and if they do decide to then Arsenal will face competition form clubs with deep pockets. Rice won't be going for peanuts. |
|
By:
Rice and Bellingham will be hot properties
at end of this season. I've seen loads of clubs tapping up already by any means... |
|
By:
Who are the list of clubs after Rice, not heard of any interest abroad, Chelsea don't need him United don't need him, he wouldn't go to club like Tottenham that never wins anything, Arsenal don't need him with the central midfield we have with Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard and Smith Rowe, he wouldn't fit in, seems like paper talk, Liverpool seems more realistic but are their owners who want out going to fork out over 100m if that's what he apparently will cost, which is a laughable price. I don't see any clamour for his signature. If Newcastle make the Champions League, then a bidding war might ensue.
|
|
By:
Rice is in control with his contract expiring next season and he'd be well advised to sit it out and leave for big singing on free, West Ham are not in a position to start dictating price.

Musiala a popular lad too.

By:
Bellingham worth at least 40-50m more than Rice imo..
if a club pay 130m for Bellingham in the current climate - don't think that would be ridiculous.. Rice feels more a 60-70m - (80m as English) ...also not sure Rice is a great fit for some of the clubs currently linked with him |
|
By:
I think Rice would be attractive to Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, City, United, Liverpool & Newcastle.
If he sits it out till he's a free agent then you could possibly add PSG, Juve & Madrid. |
|
By:
Rice is 24 and proven in the PL
|
|
By:
Utd as an example is not a good fit...ETH likes a QB pivot ...Casemiro going to be first choice as the more robust holding player and a better player than Rice..they won't play alongside very often as that's not the blueprint..so 80m or more potentially just doesn't make sense for Utd...
|
|
By:
If united are to challenge for league titles and the Champions League the are going to need strength in depth.
But I agree there will be midfielders in Europe just as able for half Rice's price. |
|
By:
Both Cancelo and Eriksen turn 31 in a couple of weeks. Behind them there's just a bunch of misfits. I'd expect Utd's big summer signing to be a midfielder, and Rice is probably near the top of the list surely.
