    No one’s in denial. People see this kinda comment and get annoyed.

    £65m is NOT a lot of money for an attacker in todays game, esp. For a PL proven one.

    Same idiots that bring up his price tag just completely ignore the fact we sold Balo for close to 40m and he’s never played more than a few minutes for us.

      Proven in the PL to be worth nowhere near 65M. I support Havertz because he’s one of us but are you fucking kidding me saying that amount wasn’t complete daylight robbery? For that amount we could have gotten: Maddison, Palmer, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Tonali, and a whole plethora of others for cheaper.

      Arteta’s insistence is the only reason we signed this guy, and he’s got enough good will for it, but holy fuck the signing makes no sense for 65M.

        This is what makes me mad so many great creators were in the market and us coming off a great season would have loved to join us. Dani Olmos is another player i would love to see at Arsenal. Liverpool got Szobozlai and he has been a great buy.

        I can see the potential in Havertz, while acknowledging that he’s nowhere close to where he needs to be esp as an attacking player…

        But first week or two of the PL and I was ready to ship him off for Maddison, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch and Palmer. We would have saved £20m too. Could even put that towards a better keeper with the style profile we need.

        Havertz used to play with Brandt at Leverkusen and he’s been impressive in CL games.

      Pl proven to be a average player…65m is a lot of money what the hell are you on about don’t let mudryk and antony warp your perspective… Balugon is a 20year old striker coming after a grt season with potential and will have the same or more price tag after 5 years and not a 24 year old player who has been average in his last 3 years
