Sergeant Tibbs Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 8 hours ago, striker said: The UK really has a betting problem when you can bet on the destination of a youth player going out on loan, along with number of corners in a game, first throw in etc. Wonder what odds on Bannan having chips for his tea, 7/2? The problem is the bookies. They put a market, often with false favourites or unreflective odds, just to attract the mug punter. Being a reformed mug punter I am qualified to comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) This one getting more unlikely by the day. Norwich & Villa linked with Nketiah now. Plus, reading Arteta's quotes yday he may even stay with gooners. Apparently Martinelli heads off to Brazilian u23 thing soon. Nketiah may provide cover.

The Night-Owl Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Saw the Sun quoted via newsnow this morning as saying 'Nketiah is believed to be keen on a move to us but he's yet to make a final decision one way or another, amid interest from a number of clubs'.

If Premier league teams interested, we need to draw a line under it and move on. The player will want to play at the highest level and so will Arsenal. Our need is urgent and time to move onto other targets. It may be taking a punt on someone like Gnanduillet or Clarke-Harris who, even on a permanent may be similar cost, considering loan fees and wages Nketiah likely to attract.

I hope we can somehow bring in two strikers. One that can replace Fletcher and another that offers something different and some pace. Our attacking options have been limited for quite some time, Fletcher's been the only consistent one, the others don't score enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sure, we definitely should aim for a striker or two. I don't understand drawing a line or moving on. I have no idea whether we are looking at this guy or not. Nor does anyone here. NOne of us have any idea whether Arsenal are loaning him out. Nor do any of us have any idea who we are looking at now, if anyone, with what maturity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about that, I think he’d rather be a starter for a promotion chasing team for the next 4 months than a bench player at Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanye West Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Nketiah would be mad to join villa over us or Bristol. Destined to fail at Villa, at least in the championship he’ll get a few goals and go under the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect Arsenal’s to be on similar coin. why would a club pay between 25k-37k a week for a player to have never played a league game? u23 to league football is a huge jump and giving a young lad say a 4 year deal on that kind of money means he could have 6-7 million in bank by time he is 21 and still not or maybe never play a league game . if its true then its pathetic . id have thought there would be some kind of sliding scale once a player starts making the 1st team etc before his wages start to increase to anything like those levels.

Even Norwich who have been linked with him today, they play 4231 and I don’t see Pukki being chucked on the bench. If he’s smart he will come to us or Bristol. Both been playing 2 upfront and both desperate for strikers. I hope the lads more decisive infront of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To stop clubs who are prepared to pay them daft money from signing them? Sadly, it's a known fact that the likes of Chelsea started paying their youth silly money to keep them and farm them out on loan, which then drove up the demands of any decent youngster, and as such the top clubs pay these lads good brass. Worth remembering though, £30k a week to Chelaea, Arsenal, et al is buttons. Also agree, it's pathetic. Don't want to talk about George Hirst, but from our own experience, he left because someone was prepared to pay him c. £10k a week and he managed a cup game against lower league opposition in senior football for us, and he won't have been as highly regarded as the top youngsters at the big clubs!

If you google “Nketiah wages” there are several articles saying the deal would cost Leeds 4 million pound. 2 million loan fee plus all his wages of approx 35k per week. Of course these articles might be from rubbish sources. Would post a link if I had a clue how to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
