@HandofArsenal From the way Berta works, we would continue to miss out on our primary targets. The strategy is tell the player we want to sign you. Player agrees, then when it time to speak to the selling club, we waste time on negotiations not wanting to meet the club's valuation.
@AFTVMedia A Vinicius deal could cost Arsenal close 300m over his contract period. A transfer fee of about 150m, signing on bonuses and agent fees about 50m and wages of over 100m in 5 years.
@LostBoyNUFC180@iangregory70 But shouldn't the player agree to join before you approach the club? How would you get the player to agree if you don't speak with him?
