Wierd was just googeling Gibbs as I had totally forgotten about what he's up to.

FIFA should investigate Liverpool for this

It's not Liverpool's fault that we are incompetent.

So nearly 35m for 2 players nowhere near the starting 11 and probably pay abit more and get a decent player. Thats how you do it.
Or other clubs are stupid to pay 35M on players that played less than 10 games combined this season

They were paying Solanke £25,000 a week and Origi £35,000. Arsenal was paying Lucas Perez £80,000. Smaller clubs can afford the wages Liverpool pays their fringe players.

There's the rub, we pay our dross too much. If Jenkinson had of been on £20k instead of £45k we would have got rid of him years ago and probably got a few quid.
If there is one thing that massively needs to change at Arsenal its contracts and wages.

Sell All The Youngsters
This should be one of the priorities of the new regime. Wage structure should be revamped. Buying younger players like Guendouzi who don't command large wages and not extending players under inflated conditions (Ramsey) is a step in the right direction IMO.

Read somewhere that Liverpool inflate the prices while announcing the sales (not sure if this is possible legally), they did something similar when they sold Suarez to Barcelona for 75 m but the actual price was far lower.
I prefer we pay more. Better for the players.

I can't believe it
We should hire their negociating team
I also think they make smarter investments.
They sign players with natural physical abilities who are suited to play for a smaller side who plays a much more physical game.
I think that's the main reason why they get so much money from Sakho / Origi / Benteke. Because they can fit into smaller teams.
Whereas a player like Perez/Elneny doesn't have as much value to them.
Mustafi is a small/kinda weak CB whereas Sakho is a beast.
It's not a coincidence if our better sales lately have been Walcott (fast) / the Ox (fast & strong ) & Giroud (strong).

Absolutely. I'm definitely a labor guy, not management. But it is why it's so difficult to move some players.

In fairness, the club did accept a £10m bid from Leicester for Elneny but he chose to stay. But in other cases, we need to do a better job of selling at the right time. Teams were willing to bid £10m for Joel Campbell in 2014 and the club kept him, even though it was questionable whether Wenger truly rated him. Also Palace bid £16m for Chambers in 2017 but the club wanted to hold out for £27m, even though Leicester also bid £20m at the time. I'm not sure if those types of bids are going to come again this summer.
Feels like they are about to go big for a striker after these two deals.
The last thing they need is forward I think they'll end up with Fakir

They've been linked quite a bit with Timo Werner recently, could be one to watch.
