30 ****ing million. Crystal Palace.
The world is ****ed.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
He was indeed on the list supplied by our former great European. It would appear that what with this chap and the other Lacazette chap from Ligue 1 that roughly £30m is a starting point as other (can I say lesser??) clubs such as West Ham and now Palace are wading in with big bucks.
Poor old Arsene is in for a tough summer.
We do, but that will count for little if Arsene and Ivan were unwilling to match the largesse of these other clubs in order to be allowed to speak with said players and then entice them with CL football.
Ultimately these clubs paying these silly fees will price the more sane others out of the equation.
We went for Vardy because he was cheap and potentially useful, not because he was a player we had been watching for a long time. I would love to be a fly on the wall in Arsene Towers.
