Guilherme Miranda (agent of Gabriel Magalhaes) tells me:
“Arsenal was nowhere near the best proposal [money wise]. Gabriel chose them over more lucrative offers because Edu convinced us of the project. It’s 100% because of Edu Gaspar and Arteta.”
Gabriel Magalhães has completed his medicals with Arsenal today in London. He’s with his agents now ready to sign his contract until June 2025 and finally going to be announced as new Arsenal player. Here-we-go confirmed. ⚪️🔴 #AFC#Arsenal#transfers
Willian rejected Spurs last minute and signed for Chelsea,Willian stayed at Chelsea for almost a decade, rejected a new contract and signed for one of their biggest rivals.
Just proves that London is Red I'm afraid.
Arsenal firing 55 staff when we're owned by a multi-billionaire, have just made £££ by winning the FA Cup & qualifying for Europe, & pay Mesut Ozil £350k-a-week to sit on his arse, is morally indefensible & not what I expect from a club with our heritage. Shameful decision.
Ozil getting panned again after this afternoon's announcement. Yes, his wage (which the club happily gave him) is an absolute drain on finances, yes, he didn't take a pay cut when his team-mates did, yes, he's not even playing atm. But Stan Kroenke is worth over £6bn........
So disappointed to see news of redundancies for non-playing staff at Arsenal. I understand that no business is exempt from the impact of Covid, but it’s hard to look beyond the astronomical wages of players and sheer wealth of our owners. Very sad day for the 55. A huge own goal.
