    Or perhaps, if clubs aren't prepared to bid higher we have to take what is offered or the player just rots in reserve
    That's the point.

    But even ignoring inflation, if we could have bought a Leno for £8m when we were cursed with Almunia, I'd have bitten your hand off. Ditto LT for 6m when we were looking for a Coq upgrade.

    Would be nice to get most of the clear out done. I still want another MF - that's where we're weak, and have been ever since we decided to ditch Gwedndo, Ozzy and LT and only buy Partey.

    Leno deal…

    £3m up front
    £1m for number of PL appearances
    £2m if the stay up
    £2m if the stay up a 2nd time

    So at this stage it’s only £3m for a top class premier league proven goalkeeper.

    Lol

    Pat Vegas Maths says if he plays every game for Fulham we will get £38m for him.

    The market is what the market is, Tone. I'm pretty sure if someone had offered more we would have accepted it

    Every Big Six club bar possibly Man City is struggling to trim the fat of their squads. Possibility that Chelsea - often cited as being good at selling players - will have the following players out on loan this year:

    Kepa (bought for 72 million)
    Lukaka (98 million)
    Werner (48 million)

    218 million!

    Definitely not a sellers' market for the big clubs

    What did you think of the Aubameyang deal LA? I thought it odd at the time but perhaps it was correct.

    If there is one player we should have got more money for it was TH14.

    Yeah - Edu said as much about Aubameyang, just a case of shifting him on. Thing is it hasn't seemed to be impinge on our ability to buy this summer so we can't really argue.

    We should never have sold Titi, p

    I know he played at the Emirates but the move to the new stadium seemed to be an end of that team, shame we couldn't have had a couple of years with them in it.

    That CL final was the end of them

    The joke was the years before we sold both Paddy and Titi for about 16m, we turned down 30m bids for them.

    But we got the best from both players. I genuinely don't give a **** how much we sell players for. It's what they've done for Arsenal that counts. Didn't get a penny for Dennis or Tony Adams either
