This is why I always say… something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay. In this case, there was no market for the player & so this is the right solution for all involved.
Not sure why people are so agitated. 5 days of window to go, no takers because of his £Wages. Terminated contract has saved us circa £5m if he had stayed. Club has been fair and so has he.
Maybe we could have got a couple of £M but they just calculated risk/reward
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been the subject of a bankruptcy petition filed by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over an unpaid tax bill.

Aston Villa and Newcastle fans will cry about PSR, then when they finally have money to spend, one decides to spend £115m on Jackson and Garnacho, basically all the money they made from the Rogers sale, while the other spent £200m on Woltemade, Elanga, Wissa and Jacob Ramsey.
PSR is only an issue for clubs that aren’t smart with their resources while failing to generate enough revenue.
Chelsea offered £117m for Rogers in an owner-to-owner deal.
Two days later, Aston Villa signed Garnacho from Chelsea on a four-year deal, with an obligation to buy set at £42.67m.
Villa added Nico Jackson today for £47.5m plus £17.5m in add-ons (£65m total).
That puts Villa's net take-home on Morgan Rogers at £9.33m, and that's before factoring in Boro's 20% sell-on clause. Off a £117m fee, that's £23.4m.
All that 'new market rate' nonsense we had to listen to. It's a mates' rate market in 2026; don't believe anything until you see the full shape of the transfer window.
Premier Player of the Year is a guy who, over the last two seasons, couldn’t lead his team to five consecutive wins across all competitions even once.
Joke.
We’ve also gone from celebrating titles, championships and ruining childhoods to taking immense pride in a player’s individual award as if it is some kind of flex over rival fans. We used to rinse Liverpool supporters for doing the exact same thing with Gerrard 15 years ago for never touching a PL. It is embarrassing to see us become everything we once mocked.
They’re going to milk this for all it’s worth seeing as they haven’t won a major trophy since 2013.
Bruno was certified the winner by default because three Arsenal players who all had better seasons than him split the vote. This award means less than nothing now.
Even his fellow pros say he deserved it... Bruno Fernandes a very worthy winner - even though Arsenal stars have every right to feel hard done by in "trophy rule" https://t.co/Rfz198otkC
You really believe the rival players, managers and media accounts who spent last season trolling Arteta and Arsenal, crying every time we scored from a corner, are suddenly going to vote for our own Declan Rice? 😂😂
We all know what happened here.
This was never about the “best performer.” It was collective hate and jealousy.
Because you can’t tell me a player who was consistent all season, played 63 games, reached a UCL final and won a trophy along the way lost to a player whose own league season only started in January after crashing out of every competition by December.
If you’re an Arsenal fan, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
It’s in our DNA. The hate. The jealousy. The agenda.
Rivals have always done it. And honestly? We’re used to it. 😂🔴⚪
Very true. Chelsea have the best players in every position. Chelsea have the best manager. This current Chelsea team are the best team in EPL history. The rest of the league can’t compete against this Chelsea team. Chelsea will wrap up the EPL by January. We can’t compete
Arsenal is the most hated club in England
Mikel Arteta is the most hated manager in England
Gabriel Magalhães is the most defender hated player in England
Saka is the most hated attacker in England
Rice is the most hated midfielder in England
I don't expect players to vote Rice when they all hate Arsenal and want us to fail badly.
We will do it 10x, they are not ready🔴⚪️
