@TalkCPFC Stay and honour the remaining 3 years on the contract that he was happy to sign last year 🤔? Novel I know, but just a thought 🤷‍♂️

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@NUFC Unfortunately just another mercenary motivated by greed 💰 shame 🤷‍♂️

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@brunoog97 You could have been a Club legend but unfortunately it seems that you’re just another mercenary more interested in earning yet more money. Such a shame.

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@benhatesnufc So man up, face the fans, explain your thinking and submit a formal transfer request foregoing contractually related bonuses … simple 🤷‍♂️ but oh no … wait … that would cost me money 😱 just another mercenary 💰

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@ADMusgrove You’re having a laugh? Agitated for a move behind the scenes all summer to get what he wanted 🤷‍♂️ should have told fans why he wanted a move and submitted a formal transfer request pre-WC foregoing bonuses due etc l, but no that would have cost him money! Just another mercenary 💰

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@henrywinter Turns out he was just another mercenary who turned his head for the lure of significantly more cash, with the desire for trophies as an add on. He hated EH benching him so I’m sure he’ll absolutely love it when Arteta does it to him …

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@SkySports_Keith @NUFC360 If he wanted the move that badly he should have submitted a transfer request pre-world cup, but oh no … that would have involved foregoing lucrative bonuses … a move not for money … my ar*e !

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@SkySports_Keith Yet another mercenary who turned his back when the lure of doubling his wages came knocking ! And don’t give me that guff about it being about trophies and not the money …. If he wanted the move that badly he could have submitted a transfer request weeks ago foregoing bonuses

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@JacobsBen Unlikely to be at the final stages when there is a massive gap between what Arsenal deign to give us and what is expected (£85m+) so unless they learn the lesson of the Isak saga (with a value in mind the Saudis won’t budge), he ain’t going anywhere 🤷‍♂️ #Arsenal .. tawdry Club

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@SkySports_Keith @Magpie24_7 I respect you as a journalist Keith but your response here is naive. Of course it’s about money and it’s the same with all of these other players that are changing Clubs. The ‘it’s about trophies’ is a convenient kop out and he should be putting his mind to the task in hand.

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@BBCMOTD @BBCSport Make it £85m not euros and they might have a chance

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@kirkbrandon Looking good fella 👍

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@LukeEdwardsTele @ghodoussi Will be interesting if he sues you and the chronic for libel 👍

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@LukeEdwardsTele Go and get Angelo stiller from Stuttgart beforehand, get £75m from arsenal for Bruno and I’ll take him to London myself … he REALLY isn’t that good or worth getting wound up about 🤷‍♂️ NUFC is bigger than any single player … including him !

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@bbcnewcastle @raisbeck10 Point is, he hasn’t made a transfer request as that would involve him walking away from millions in wages ! Just another mercenary bastard who will get what he wants (more money) when arsenal stump up a realistic transfer fee (which isn’t £60m by the way) 🤷‍♂️

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@martinezdouble @themichaelowen And WTF happened to him personally when he represented NUFC I might also reasonably ask 🤔???

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@SkySports_Keith @NUFC360 If we achieve £75m+ then bye bye 👋 Just make sure that we sign Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart beforehand … problem solved 🤷‍♂️

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@SoulRebel10 @mickquinn1089 Says an Arsenal fan ! Bearing in mind that Tonali & Anderson have both gone for over £100m I think you’ll need to dig a bit deeper … £85m* might just do it 👍

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@WolfprwX Aye right … show the clip where he gets bossed by Big Dan Burn !!!

[Les Archibald @Les_010565]

@NUFC360 @CharIieBennett If you actually think about it, we’re too quick on many deals and generally the first to the table, which unfortunately means it’s us who are setting the bar for others to match or beat accordingly 🤷‍♂️
