I will. Sign him for 5/6 years, and giving him 3 years he max to fullfil his talents. Year 4, give him contract renewal (if he succeeded), or sell him back to make profit or cut lost.
Just look at how Xhaka is playing or Gundogan sometimes the senior players are the right choice. Youth isn't everything need a mix. I'd stick with Martinelli on the left and invest heavily in the CM. I always rated Xhaka even when he has his slump.
If we can get Kimmich and Williams it would be a phenomenal transfer window. Kimmich can play defence and midfield, Williams can play either left or right wing.
Athletic bilbao have a great relationship between the fans and the players, and so he doesn't want to leave unless there is a significant increase in wages, aka 300K a week
Rumours were Nico’s wage demands were for around 250k per week. It’s good his current wages are at 170k per week, but the issue is if Chelsea or another club come in for him and offer the wages he is demanding, taking Arsenal out of the picture. It depends on the player. If he is a bit too greedy with wages maybe that tells us something. If his demands go down to around 200k per week then the move is quite feasible for Arsenal.
I Want !!! **Buy : Guéhi - Guimaraes - Eze - Williams - Gyökeres **Keep : Kiwior as CB backup. Tomi as LB RB backup. **Sell : Zinny - Partey - Esr - Nelson - Eddie - Jesus - Vieira (all loan players). **Give : some Hale End players the upgrade to 1team. **(But Dream signing is still Kudus over Eze+Williams)
Eze would be someone we can sit back and watch in awe of the player he is. He has the guile and flair of a player who can just dominate with his dribbling and his strength. I am completely sold on him. Imagine him as a box to box or as a backup to Saka/martinelli/odegaard! Very versatile. I was jealous of my palace mates who watched him every week. I believe he is a player that makes you appreciate football. AND he will go to another level in this team… Do you agree James?? As for Nico I have no idea, kudus would be wayyy better if west ham would take 80mil
I think you are forgetting some release clauses have different payment terms so yes Nico’s RC isn’t expensive compared to other wingers fees but in terms of cash flow and liquidity it might be too much for the club to pay now as well as pursue other targets as well
Trust me when I say this window would be a very interesting one. We might not be pleased with everyone that comes in, but we will get at least 2 quality players fans would be happy about.
Possible to do more in depth player analyses instead of addressing transfer rumors? I get that’s the talk of the town, but I think your biggest strength is your ability to analyze players (such as your kudus video)
Absolutely can and appreciate the feedback but I feel my best work is in overall research. I like to think I’ve brought a unique angle to this news aggregating by bringing data on wages and proof of accuracy of reports - some people don’t need that info but others really appreciate it. Player breakdowns die a painful death if done too often and done for any old player, especially if I don’t really know them. So I prefer to save them for when I’m either really researched on them or were actually signing them… hope that makes sense! Thank you for supporting the channel ❤️💪
@@TheGoonerverse I don’t disagree with what you said. Keep it up, we’re lucky to have you as Arsenal fans. Not every club gets a guy like you! Side note I actually think it’d be really entertaining to watch you play football manager, even if it was another channel!
I understand the Williams links but i don't see the Eze thing happening since he plays in a position where we are stacked. They are using Arsenal to get other clubs interested in Eze but i don't think we're interested
The mere fact that clubs who are known to splurge obscene obscene money on players think that Nico Williams is too expensive should tell a story in itself. If true, of course.
He is never going for the release clause. It's Bilbao they pay high wages for a reason. Either a club meets the fee demands or cannot meet the player's wage demands an he stays. Either way the team gets what it wants in the way of the transfer fee or retaining the player's services. I highly doubt Williams would leave starting play with those wages at Bilbao for a backup or shared role abroad for slightly better wages. Remember his older brother Iñaki was sought after years ago, and never left, because either teams didn't meet Bilbao's demands or the player's wage demands. Iñaki 's release clause never factored. We have seen this before with this club and family. A fantastic player with a really high ceiling would probably be a great get for Arsenal though. I wouldnt totally rule him out on changing clubs but I would say it's unlikely.
When I heard about his wages, I was thinking that he's already on £250,000+ per week and wanting more. But if he's on £175,000 and wanting more, then we're possibly looking at the £200k to £250k mark which is more manageable. Then I heard that his wage demands are excessive. To the point that it could possibly be upsetting for the rest of the team. Which is something we do not want. But there's no doubt that Williams is a very good player. And then there is Eberechi Eze. Ex Arsenal academy. Another very good player. Up with Williams, but possibly not quite up to William's standard? However, he is an Arsenal supporter and I know that if I had ever been picked to play for the Gunners, it didn't happen and it never would have happened, I'd literally put everything into every game. 110% minimum. So could Eze be coming _"home"_ to the Arsenal? _Who knows?_ There's so much speculation for so many players it's getting daft. I remember the olden days when you'd get the paper in the morning, immediately go to the back pages and see that _"someone"_ has just signed for a particular club. _C'est la vie..._ *#COYGsince66*
TBH, if Nico coming in threatens Martinelli I don't want that. Martinelli has been almost as good as Saka over the past 3 seasons and Gabi is an excellent finisher. I'd 100% go for Kudus who has more star quality and can play across the front line including acting as an alternative for Odegaard.
Compare Arsenal with all the other top PL teams. Nothings happening until after the Euros/Copa. It’s the same every time there’s a summer tournament on and every time people complain that nothing’s happening. Bear in mind Rice didn’t sign until mid July.
If we're gonna splash for Williams' super high wages why not splash an extra ~40m on the transfer fee and get a world class, ready made LW rather than someone who has the potential to become that?
I think we need to go all out to sign Nico Williams instead of a striker because he offers depth on both wings. Just get a good quality midfielder and a left back and we would have the depth we need. No other striker would start in front of Havertz
Completely agree - they get only 65m Euros from the Spain TV deal (compared to Madrid and Barca at 150M. Arsenal have similar TV revenues to Real and Barca)

This video is clickbait or the reports are? I’ve been fairly accurate in the reporting of all of this stuff but can’t pretend it’s not being talked about despite doubting what’s being said
We're linked with every No. 6 in Europe, although I haven't seen anyone linked with Robert Andrich, probably due to his age (29). But I've been very impressed with him during the Euros. The way he breaks up play, has a deadly long shot in him, as well as his physical stature almost reminds me of Rodri a bit. And wouldn't cost half of most of the Leverkusen players as well as other players we're linked to in that position.
Nico Williams is potentially worth 200K per week to Arsenal. However, I find it really hard to believe a team like Athletic would be paying Nico that much already given how little the non-Real Madrid/Barcelona clubs in Spain get from TV rights deals in Spain (Athletic got 63M Euros last season compared to Real and Barcelona at around 150 Euros).
I don't feel Nico is the one for me - whilst we can do with a winger to compete on the right I personally think we should be looking at a versatile experienced winger like Chiesa or a Gnabry/ Wertz *style* of winger if we are going to spend big in that position as Saka plays alot of games... Ngl i'd be happy if we get a partner for Rice, a striker & a left back dependent on the out-goings but tbf I trust the clubs signings - jury's out on their 'sales department' - i'd keep Kiwior and player swap Zini & Kimmich for 20mill although due to the interest but Kimmich probably playing for a new improved Bayern contract
His current wage is not what he’s demanding from premier league clubs. His agent don’t care if he just signed a new contract let’s be honest, he wants the highest wage possible. I think realistically he’s demanding £250k to £300k
You make some good points on Nico's wages and he may not expect a big jump, however I do think he will still want a raise and 200K, which through your own presented data states at 20-30 K more he would be on more than Saka and that for me isn't viable and he may want more. PLus he has been quoted as saying he will only consider RM or Barca
they are very unlikely to happen. Arteta has his main 11 and i doubt Eze or Williams would be fine with being bench players, Regardless of rotation. We should only be in the market for a world class Striker and midfielder replacement for partey. We shouldnt be looking for world class backups, but instead look for hidden gems with a point to prove.
Realistically Nico Williams wouldn't be starting that often (unless he took LW but that'd quickly piss off the two players we already have there), and you wouldn't want to be paying £170k+ a week for him to be sitting on the bench. I think Eze would be a great buy for that price and he would be passionate about playing for Arsenal as well as provide great utility. Kimmich would be amazing too - definitely worth going for in that 8 position.
If we buy Williams we need to sell Martinelli this summer. Otherwise what will inevitability happen is Nico will take his place in the starting XI, and Martinelli's value will plummet as it becomes clear he's no longer a valuable member of our squad. Would be such a classic Arsenal move to wait until a player has outlived his usefulness, THEN sell him, rather than caputalizing while their market value is still there.
Would you pay Nico Williams' "wage demands"?
James what does ITK stand for?
@@SFP0181 In The Know - anyone who claims to have information but isn’t an official reporter basically
Absolutely we just cut Elneny and Cedric. Lead to believe we have funds. But it is pretty high

If we want to get to their level we need to cough up a lot of money. Simple as
I will.
Sign him for 5/6 years, and giving him 3 years he max to fullfil his talents.
Year 4, give him contract renewal (if he succeeded), or sell him back to make profit or cut lost.
Eze💐has been talking about how tough it was to get over being released by Arsenal as a youth 🤓
Been thinking this as well, why would he go back?
I can not believe after all these links in midfield the perfect player for us would be …. Current granit xhaka 🤦🏼♂️
He wanted to leave the club. All of his family lives in Germany and he missed them. Also his contract would have expired this year anyways. 🤷♂️
Onana ?
Ngl I had a weirdly similar thought recently 😭
You don’t know what you have until it’s gone 😢

Would love both of the players. Willliams would be amazing depth for both LW and RW and Eze could work in midfield alongside Rice and Ødegaard
Eze is not a CM bruv ,arteta prefers big ball playing who wins duel and can play in pockets, Eze Is more of a Lw
