This transfer window is an interesting one to all Arsenal fans, given that Arsene Wenger recently signed a new two year with the club, fans were expecting dramatic changes to be implemented, most importantly in the transfers department. The club managed to add two acquisitions this summer in the form of Lacazette and Kolasinac respectively, but the voice of opinion indicates that the club needs to do more than just that.
What is shocking to me is the club’s ability to sell players, I reckon that this is a major issue of late due to the complexity we read and hear when a player is linked with a move away, let’s take into consideration Kieran Gibbs as an example with his proposed move to other clubs collapsing every single time due to transfer fees and wage issues.
Let’s take a look at the Arsenal roster and estimate how much each player is worth:
- Gibbs – surplus to requirements (fee: 7-9 million pounds)
- Gabriel – not good enough, new defender required (fee: 10-13 million pounds)
- Debuchy – surplus to requirements (fee: 2-3 million pounds)
- Wilshere – injury prone (fee: 10 million pounds)
- Walcott – not good enough (fee: 20-25 million pounds)
- Chambers – a bit of a gamble, a buy back option can be inserted (fee: 20 million pounds)
- Jeff Adelaide – needs to be loaned
- Jenkinson – not good enough (fee: 2 million pounds)
- Campbell – not good enough (fee: 3 million pounds)
- Akpom – not good enough (fee: 2 million pounds)
- Coquelin – not good enough (fee: 10 million pounds)
- Elneny – not good enough (fee: 10 million pounds)
Approximate return from sales: 102 million pounds believe it or not!
Now let’s sit back and relax...with a 100 million pounds excluding wages, how many fantastic players can we add into our squad? A few good names easily ring some bells in my mind!
