The longest running transfer saga of this summer is Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United. Why are Man U negotiating? if they wanted him that much they would pay the asking price.
Meanwhile, Liverpool bid £120m for Aleksander Isak. This was swiftly rejected. Why don’t they go in with a serious offer like £200m and just pay Newcastle’s asking price.
At the same time, they have also had a bid for Hugo Ekitike rejected by Eintracht Frankfurt. Two strikers and twice they failed to pay the asking price. What are they playing at?
Finally, Tottenham triggered Morgan Gibbs-White release clause, but he remains a Nottingham Forest player. What are they playing at over in Middlesex? If they want the player, they should make a serious offer vastly above the minimum release clause. It’s Arsenal’s Luis Suarez £40m+£1 all over again.
Now imagine Arsenal were doing this business. Offers rejected for Mbeumo, Isak and Ekitike. Failing to secure Gibbs-White despite that release clause. We would be getting mercifully mocked by Sky Sports, TalkSport and fans of Man U, Liverpool and Spurs.
In this world, it is only The Arsenal that are not allowed to negotiate. Not allowed to go in at lower than the asking price. Not allowed to try and get a deal that might be beneficial.
So why are others not held to the same standard? Why are they allowed to negotiate like it is normal in football? Is it just that negativity around The Arsenal sells, and that is then the narrative pushed.
If you are a fan of an opposing club and got this far. Please realise this is satirical. Do not jump up and down in our comments about how negotiating is part of football. I get that.
Man U, Liverpool and Tottenham have a right to negotiate. and Forest are in the wrong around Gibbs-White, just like Liverpool were over Suarez.
Arsenal also have a right to negotiate. And we have done very well with it this summer.
Enjoy your Friday.

Judging by the comments so far, they obviously don’t get it. You are correct in stating that it is most media outlets that are anti Arsenal and that is why they always increase the price advertised of any player Arsenal are after in the hope that the selling club reads their toilet article and agrees with their inflated made up purchase price and therefore overpriced their players value.
What they don’t realise is that they are usually too educated to take notice of their toilet article and that the price is usually set between interesting parties before the media gets a sniff of an intended purchase.
I ignore their bad reporting as it’s not worth the read as it’s 99% speculation and non factual, especially their wishful anti Arsenal inflated player prices.

I even addressed the expected comments on the last 3 paragraphs. It highlights a problem with the world these days – many do not have the attention span to read a fill article and instead make comments and build their opinion based on a couple of lines.

I work with mostly Arsenal fans, and at lunch we have a chat about this and that and they all agree with your article. So out of the thousands of fans that read your article you are always going to get the odd individuals that belong to one of the three categories, the low IQs, the gaslighters and those pretending to be Arsenal fans. Those few will object to any article that praises Arsenal and tells the truth. All true Arsenal fans would and should agree with this article, if they are truly Arsenal fans.
From me, my colleagues and 99% of Arsenal fans, keep up the good work and reporting what we are all agreeing.

what a poor article.
thats how it works, unless there’s a release clause, clubs will always try and get a better deal, it’s a business at the end of the day, you clearly haven’t got a clue.
spurs offered the amount stated in the release clause, that was inserted by NFFC, why on earth would they offer more…lol

it’s called negotiations – why would anyone pay the sticker price. Do you pay the sticker price on a car or when buying a house?
