DukDukGoose Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Had a quick look at the Arsenal tweet announcing Whites signing. Quickly remembered why I hate EPL fans, twitter and EPL fans on twitter. African Arsenal and African Man Utd fans arguing about the better signing - Varane or White. What I would have to imagine is teenage fans of both doing the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy will want double that for Harry Kane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Going by the amount of Tweets about this signing Arsenal have made today you'd think they'd signed Messi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Arsenal (potentially) spending over 80 million quid on their defence and ending up with Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale is something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 53 million for Ben WHite? He's a 30 million player at best. Meanwhile 100M for Jack Grealish is complete madness. I like Grealish, I think he's a good player but on no planet is he 25% more valuable than someone like VIrgil Van Dijk. Even adjusting for the "English Tax" he's a 50 M player at best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 £100m for a winner of free kicks that Gareth Southgate thinks is too much of a luxury to play against anything approaching a decent team. Only in the Barclay's. That Ben White signing is hilarious. That Varane was significantly cheaper only goes to show what a complete mess Arsenal have made of that. What an utter waste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he is a better player. Arsenal can't offer him £200k per week while they are struggling to offload other high earners. They also have at least 3 other starting positions to fill. He'll also want Champions League football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 When clubs are spending £50 million on Ben fucking White then it’s not so hard to imagine Man City spending double that on England’s poster boy.I’d never heard of Ben White until today. It’s transfers like that which are the reason I binned the EPL years ago. Total nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total nonsense.I’ll remember Ben White as the player who was all over sky news for 3 days talking of his pride in being included in England’s euro squad. Only to get punted from the provisional lineup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I'm only 29 but already sound like an old duffer when I talk about the good old days when it used to be the best players who went for the biggest money. Zidane, Ronaldinho, Brazilian Ronaldo etc. Even when Rooney went for £30 million, or whatever it was in 2004, he was only 18 and had just had a brilliant tournament at Euro 2004.Ben White has a season of Premier League football behind him with a bottom half team and is going for more than all of the players above. Then there's Jack fucking Grealish who's potentially moving for almost twice as much as White. You think the fees can't get anymore ridiculous and then they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind when Neymar went to PSG for stupid money, the media, ckub chairmen and all were talking about how it was an outlier and we weren't about to embark on an era of utterly stupid transfer fees..... Barclays tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barclays tho It’s not just been the barclays, since that Neymar transfer there’s been seven transfers for €100 million or more and not one of them has involved an EPL team doing the buying. The EPL teams specialise in spending ridiculous amounts of money on bang average players purely because they’re home grown, but the market is fucked everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, but whats about to happen with Grealish will blow them all out the water in terms of pure ridiculousness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
