One way or another, he's going to Real Madrid. Maybe he is willing to take a pay cut- say, 165?

There must be plenty of ways to circumvent the rules if you are willing to take the financial hit. Endorsements, bonuses, suspiciously large expense accounts.....
Make no mistake, I'd love him to come to us...mostly for the amount of piss it would boil across opposition fans and media. I just can't see it.
No way in the world we are pissing that much money up the wall. Madness!
I don't think Arteta's approach to coaching is very well suited to superstars. We don't want them. We want more Sakas and Rices.
Will be interesting to see how long we manage to hold on to Saliba.
I also think Martinelli has the ability to be almost as good. There's no better player in the PL at bringing the ball down, his finishing is good, he can go past people (doesn't do it enough) and electric pace.
He is capable of scoring 30 a season. But I think there is a touch of the superstar about him. Not convinced we will hang on to him that long if he does hit the heights we think think he can.
Barca are rumoured to be sniffing around. I just think he lacks a bit in confidence.
Of course, getting young Kylie in would help with that; once and for all ditching the nonsense about not buying superstars.
It was fine and noble and a' that so far as it went but, after all, we did build the Emirates so we COULD buy superstars. Let's become a final destination at last rather than a mere stepping stone.
"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."
