A major flaw in our club.
Nothing has improved on that front for years.
Our targets and players brought in have so far worked out but there has been zero improvement from our negotiating team.
Still our deals seem to drag on forever meaning rival teams sniff around and snatch our targets.
Takes Edu an entire transfer window to negotiate a deal and by the time the signing does happen, the excitement has gone.
Now look at Felix, been trying to negotiate a loan deal for weeks and out of owhere chelsea come and snap him up within a day. Albeit the money quoted is ridiculous but Edu really is weak at negotiating deals. Just look at our sales.
And still trying to negotiate Mudryk since the summer.
We need to bring in someone who actual has a business head on them and is able to sit at a table an negotiate numbers for the benefit of our club and in an effective time frame, someone who knows what it's all about. Mr. Dein perhaps?
Edu as good as he has been on certain aspects, he really is lacking with this
Our transfer negotiations

Who cares about 2019? Our most recent window we got basically all our targets in early.

Again, Jesus and Zinchenko who were desperate for regualr playing time and open to a move away were not exactly the hardest of deals to get done.
What do you mean who cares about 2019. So.your logic is that he is only held accountable for the jesus and Zinchenko 🤣

I do believe he has a role at the club, just not negotiating transfers

Who says we have anyone coming in over the January window?
Arsenal have spent as much as anyone over the past decade. Certainly over the past 5 seasons.
Season after season of CL-level spending on a Europa-level budget. To the point of attracting interest from the FFP people.

Edu has done a good job thus far.

Imagine doing an article so negative that even Bats calls you silly

You realise the selling club has a say in it right? If they know Chelsea are going to kick their door down waving a blank cheque then they'll play hardball with Arsenal until that happens. Unless you think successful negotiation is just paying whatever the other club asks for straight off the bat?

Who said this article was about the felux deal? It's about Edus performance since he's arrived. He hasn't been strong enough in this aspect

I mean you literally used the Felix deal as your example…
