And Willian is the solution to the problem?We scored 56 goals in the league last year.

I was answering his question about why we're signing attackers.And Willian is the solution to the problem?
What rubbish. Pepe has got 18 goals+assists in a stop start season playing under three managers. Fully expect him to double that number next year when he gets used to the league.Much better.
Pepe is so shit Arsenal are apparently running an internal investigation into his signing.
It's not rubbish at all.What rubbish.
For a minute I didn't believe you.Much better.

From your own linkIt's not rubbish at all.

Bit of a leap to read that and say there's an internal investigation because he's so shitThere is said to be no sense of regret at signing the 25-year-old but many people within the game were surprised at the size of the fee Arsenal paid to Lille
..
The depth of that commitment has led to a review of the scouting reports and negotiating process which led to such a big deal being sanctioned.
When you want to make the signing sound outlandish and ridiculous."along with loyalty payments and other bonuses"
Since when are loyalty payments and bonuses taken into account when talking about a player's weekly wage?
It's undeniably funnier though.Bit of a leap to read that and say there's an internal investigation because he's so shit
Sign the worlds best defender? We should be so lucky.I don't understand why Arsenal keep signing attackers. It's also particularly weird to sign their rivals want-away players like David Luiz and Willian. Imagine us signing Lovren and Shaqiri and the fans be fine with it.
When they're calculating Sanchez total cost is the only other time I've seen them pulling this shit"along with loyalty payments and other bonuses"

Based on what exactly?What rubbish. Pepe has got 18 goals+assists in a stop start season playing under three managers. Fully expect him to double that number next year when he gets used to the league.
Not really. We have with Saka, Nelson and Martinelli three very young wingers/ offensive options.Terrible transfer for Arsenal, on so many levels.
On the contrary, Arsenal are in an excellent shape in terms of wages going forward. Ozil will be off the wage bill next summer, Willian is getting somewhere in the 120K per week range, and Auba is rumored to be seeking around 250k. We're not exactly breaking the bank here.With Auba, Ozil and now Willian all getting on and earning mega money Arsenal will have to be careful I feel.
May I ask why it was you wanted him gone? I was always under the impression that he was one of you best performers, if not the most consistent. Were they other issues at play?I have to say, as much as I wanted him to leave, it will feel utterly bizarre to watch him line up against Chelsea.
100% valid, and it’s a legacy of when transfer fees far outstripped wages, and so remains the barometer of how you compare transfers, and it is still valid when comparing to the past - but clearly needs to be taken Will a great deal of salt, as the total cost of a deal needs to be appraised.Tweet

Wasn’t Sánchez’ whole package always used?"along with loyalty payments and other bonuses"

not at all I’m happy we can continue to sing the song about how much he hates Tottenham. I’m sure it will sound better when both sets of fans sing itDo Chelsea fans feel betrayed by him joining their biggest rival ?
He's inconsistent. He's only been one of our best performers in short, brief spurts and they were usually few and far betwern. Most of the time he's a frustrating player with awful decision making who is capable of the occasional flash of brilliance. He's been useful for us at times, but I've been advocating for his sale since about 2015.May I ask why it was you wanted him gone? I was always under the impression that he was one of you best performers, if not the most consistent. Were they other issues at play?
They're not our biggest rival by any stretch of the imagination.Do Chelsea fans feel betrayed by him joining their biggest rival ?
There's absolutely no way Willian is taking less money than he was on at Chelsea as a free agent.On the contrary, Arsenal are in an excellent shape in terms of wages going forward. Ozil will be off the wage bill next summer, Willian is getting somewhere in the 120K per week range, and Auba is rumored to be seeking around 250k. We're not exactly breaking the bank here.
Off the wage bill next summer if not beforehand are Ozil (350k), Sokratis (90k), Mustafi (90k) and Luiz (120k) if we don't resign him again. Auba and Lacazette, who may leave this summer anyway, will be the only players making over 150k (unless a new signing like Partey gets that much).
Wenger made some absolutely disastrous contract decisions in his last couple years - Ozil at 350K, Mkhi at 180K, Xhaka (100K), Kolasinac (100K), and Mustafi (90K) all making far more than their contributions merited. We are finally digging out from that hole.
He gets many points from pens I believe. Will Auba give up pen duties? I doubt it.This guy is definitely going to be on my fantasy team from the get goooo. Him and Auba will link up well. He’ll also surely be a starter in the PL and hence very reliable in fantasy. Price hasn’t been too steep either.
Not really. There is a light year worth of difference between a Hazard moving to Arsenal or Spurs as compared to Willian. I felt even more betrayed by Lampard playing like 5 games for City.Do Chelsea fans feel betrayed by him joining their biggest rival ?
Sure. Well, Cech wasn't really past his prime when he moved. Courtois was just better.They're not our biggest rival by any stretch of the imagination.
Feel the same as when Cech or Luiz went there. Enjoy your retirement, you you are happy, healthy and shit on the pitch!
Well, at least next season he'll probably give them a good return. I wonder how Chelsea will replace himNot really. There is a light year worth of difference between a Hazard moving to Arsenal or Spurs as compared to Willian. I felt even more betrayed by Lampard playing like 5 games for City.
Willian has his uses on a very good day. He makes a major upgrade over someone like Saka for next season but in the long run I don't think he does much for Arsenal.
