Looks like Fofana is going to be our solution to the left but I’m sick of being asked why I keep suggesting Eze LW
Didn’t Ben White start a whole season at CB before moving to RB? Imagine what we’d have said about that transition in the summer of 2022
Didn’t Eze play his best football off the left for Palace?
Didn’t Eze come off the bench on the left against Cov, start there in his debut, and away at City in what at the time was our biggest game of the season?
“But Matty Cash!”
I just can’t believe people find it such a crazy thing to suggest??
So, a 6 fold.
142/1 - Sky
147/1 - 365
I’m already on this from a couple of days ago, price has been cut a little.
Just some of my favourite plays for the accas from pre season.
I’d expect a couple of these prices to be cut further in the next few days.
Inter already cut today.
HOW ARE ARSENAL ABLE TO AFFORD VINICIUS JR’S WAGES:
Arsenal are in for Vinicius Junior and the wage bill is of course top of mind, with how RIGID Arsenal’s structure is.
So how will Arsenal manage to do this.
Image rights.
If you didn’t know, Real Madrid take 50% of a player's commercial image rights revenue.
Florentino Perez believes that with playing at Los Blancos, they will get a boost to their name, image and likeness that they will inevitably profit from.
They have run that policy for twenty five years. Figo signed it, Zidane signed it, Beckham signed it. Ronaldo arrived in 2009 as Ballon d'Or holder, demanded 100%, and Madrid refused him before settling at 60-40.
The only other man to break it was Mbappé in 2024, who was able to negotiate at 80%.
England does not have this argument.
There is no statutory law governing image rights here, and the way it works is pretty simple.
The player owns his image, assigns it to his own company, and licences the club for them to use.
Image rights will not make Vinicius cheap. But it will allow Arsenal to offer lower wages which is most likely different to the one that’s been reported.
For Vini, this’ll be a huge change for him and one that can absolutely skyrocket his income by making the move over to London.
Let’s hope the move can happen but Arsenal can push this HARD
