Too right we shouldn't be touching it with those sorts of figures.

Boro having a proper go of getting promotion, but it's a risky move with FFP etc.

If the £40k quoted is right (and I can't personally believe it) then it shows how odd football has become.

Effectively a £1m+ fee for a 5 month signing. If it works for them then all well and good for them but I am with you - the danger of relying so heavily on loans was stark for us the moment Brentford won promotion

He’s still not signed a contract extension I think with arsenal so I wouldn’t be surprised if they just fancied him off their books to the highest percentage wage covered.

He signed a 4 year contract extension in April

I guess he'll be a backup striker for Arsenal next season so they need him to have some first team action - they're going to lose Nketiah
