That ain't how it works though. You sit back let the other team hammer it out then step in and say, kay, we'll give you all that plus 10m and double the wages and bam. Not to say Arsenal doesn't shoulder some blame for baby-stepping it, but how many deals have actually been completed since the window opened? Not a lot.
One is in UEFA and one isn’t, so yeah, very different.
If they do get gazumped, it’s on Arsenal for baby stepping. Came with a bid, got rejected, then a week later come back with the same bid just structured differently. They’re playing dumb games. If they really wanted the player they should be decisive.
They were more determined with the bids with Havertz and literally no one else was in on him.

While what you say is true, at the same time I do understand being more careful at that 100m mark.

This one has a different feel to it. Not saying Havertz is going to be some wild success but at least his profile fits what Arteta wants better than some of the names of the past.
Also last i check you still have Auba on your books..... rejects going both ways

Like to point out that man city’s reported bid is the same bid structured different and that no one was in on rice until this
Man City was always rumored, not to mention United lurking in the background as well. Sure, no concrete bids yet, but they were always there and a possibility.
Haven’t seen any reporting on the City offer, so no idea what it actually is.

Being the leading goal scorer on a team that can't score isn't that impressive. His lack of contributions is a big reason why we couldn't score as well.chelsea logic: leading goal scorer - gettem outta here
The wrong German was sold back to the Bundesliga.

I saw 75+15 just with fewer installments. And if you’re talking rumors, Bayern was rumored with havertz

There was no way Bayern was ever competing with that fee for Havertz and that was reported early.
We’ll see if City come back with another bid, I’m sure they will. It was also reported that Arsenal’s conditions were about winning the PL + CL, so if these are likely attainable it’s still a more attractive offer. But I doubt West Ham accepts that bid either.

Agreed. Plus Saudi teams don't even consistently win the Asian CL. No need to have them in Europe.

Kessie gone
Tonali gone
Bennacer out until 2024
Mlan's midfield until 2024 : Pobega - Krunic
Skhiri's really good if they can get that across the line.
