Ornstein: Arsenal close to agreement with Chelsea to sign Kai Harvertz for fee in region of £65m. Talks ongoing to finalise structure (instalments + add-ons). Personal terms in place & subject to deal
I don't understand how he's a priority vs other positions and then yes, giving Chelsea any money, let alone that much when it allows them to meet FFP and also buy players that we want seems like a horrific plan.
This might be hopium, but maybe a lot of that is bonuses. For example, 45+15 I think would be a lot more reasonable if the clauses aren't a formality, and I think most of us wouldn't be too angry about that.
