Well that's where they negotiate. I'd say the chance of him not leaving this window is basically 0 if Arsenal have already triggered the clause, as rumoured. If they can get double what Arsenal are willing to pay elsewhere (which I think they could quite easily do), then it'd be worth it for them, surely?
Well, yeah. That's essentially what I was getting at earlier though. It depends if he's really set on joining Arsenal or just wants out of Sociedad. If it's the latter then yeah, they should take what they can get. But if his interest to moving to clubs other than Arsenal is only low to moderate then it might not be a good idea to let them come in, and dangle high wages in front of his face, when they'd conceivably have a good chance him staying with them quite happily.
Yeah, Arsenal apparently have the option of buying Vela back for £3m.
Translation: it means **** all. Even more (less?) so in this case given Arsenal will have a bid accepted at a lower price than everyone else.
It's a clear breach of the rules that officials are ignoring. You wouldn't let a striker put the ball down 2 yards in front of the penalty spot. The penalty should have been retaken and the goalkeeper booked.
Easily yes. Would be a great but for your lot actually.
Well it appears to be because he's asked the present coaches, and they tell him the kids are great. No vested interest there of course. Doesn't really actually stack up at all if you look at age-group results for England teams but nevermind. Getting these players to play cloggers in the 5th division will sort it all out, no doubt.
