I'm guessing something like Arsenal pays a lump sum equal to 250k per week, Fenerbahce pays him 50k/wk, and he loses 50k/wk. There's something like 21 or 22 weeks left on the contract, so Arsenal cuts their share from ~£7.5mm to £5mm, he gets half of that from his new team and cedes ~£1+mm so he can play football again.

Interesting he's in Turkey. Maybe has personal reasons but that strikes me as either someone lacking ambition or someone who's stock has really fallen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AMIW Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Despite cutting a few players ARsenal still have a first team squad of 27 7 of them are still central defenders, only 3 of whom make the 20 for today’s game mari and chambers are injured as usual, mustafi and Socrates still trying to find an escape tunnel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarknessandHope Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Arsenal have agreed to terminate the contract of Sokratis Papastathopoulos with immediate effect. The Greek international defender joined from Borussia Dortmund in July 2018 but had fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta and was no longer part of the Gunners' boss plans. He follows Mesut Ozil in being allowed to leave the club this month with more to follow as Arteta reshapes his squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMIW Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 down to a mere 6 central defenders how will they cope? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy James Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Like PT just said in the PL thread. Arsenal to play with 10 in the second half as David Luiz sent off. This is Arsenal's 4th red of the season. Doesn't it feel like more? Especially Luiz, seems he should have a couple? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy James Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 But was he really at fault? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patched Tube Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just now, Jimmy James said: But was he really at fault? Yes the card is controversial but why was Luiz not in front of the man instead of chasing? In any event Luiz is involved in more than his share of defensive cock ups and you simply can't rely on him. Personally speaking his antics add some humor to the league but as a manager I'd send him to the Tunisian 2nd division for a bag of balls and some used jock straps. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
