So he is good enough for a CL Team like Chelsea, but not good enough for 8th place Arsenal. Interesting.

League is very weak
Players at 32 never get 120K a week 3 year contracts, if we give it to him, it’ll be a massive outlay given the age and length of contract.

It could be considered a rarity actually.

Man Utd just did it. Liverpool did it this season. I can’t be bothered looking for other examples, clearly it’s not a rarity.

Imagine signing a 28 year old Auba on a 3.5 year deal and then signing a 32 year old Willian from a rival team on a 3 year deal.

You couldnt actually make this stuff up if you tried.

2 year deal I can accept. 3 year. No.

Who did Liverpool give a 3 year contract extension to at 32?

United did give Matic one but Man U are one of the richest clubs in the world. His wages are a drop in the ocean while they save their big money for improving the starting 11 knowing that Matic will do a decent job 10-15 games a season.

If you were going to give a 31 yo a 3 year deal its probably Willian.

The guy averages over 30 league games a season always putting up 10-15 G/As. In great shape & not a over-reliance on pace.

Who with? They signed 32 year olds and gave them multiple year deals?

You never said signed, you said players that age aren’t given 120k a week 3 year contracts. They just extended Matic until 2023, he’s the same age and earns roughly the same. Liverpool gave 34 year old Milner a two year extension, he also earns the same amount (not quite the same length of contract but considering the age and length of contract arguably worse).

He will be 32 when he signs if he signs. How many 33/34/35 year old wide players are playing in the PL?

Arsenal Quotes

I'm prepared to be committed to the club at least until we go into the new stadium. For me, it’s important that the club goes in there and that I make sure the team are at a very good level. After that, whether it’s me or someone else, the club will be able to compete at the highest level. But for me to run away now would not be fair.
