I'll take 25 million to be honest.
YES, he's world class on his day. But please stop panicking, he had more OFF days then ON days last season.
We've got a potential world class player (Ramadan) waiting in the wings. And if we get anything in the region of 25-30 million, I'm damn sure that money will be re-invested in a replacement in some format.
The flip side of it is, Stoke play hard ball, and let the twat rot in the reserves for 4 years until he changes his tune. He took us for ransom last season, then eventually signed a 4 year deal rumored to be 80k per week, didn't exactly perform to an 80k week level all season, now decides to hand a transfer request in.
Over to you Hughes, Coates, and co!

He says he's "frustrated with the lack of ambition at the club" Someone has tapped him up then. Been thinking the same to be fair.

I hope he isn't after getting another increased contract or the knob can fuck right off anyway.

If we lose Arnie, in addition to Whelan and Walters, I'll become very, very worried about the new season.

FOR FUCKS SAKE!
A lack of ambition, why are the only people who can't see this the ones in charge of the club?.
The ONLY upside to this is that we have Sobhi ready and waiting, everything else about this is fucking wank and depressing.
And for all of you who are going to say "Good, fuck the lazy show pony off" then get yourselves a season ticket at Turf Moor so you can watch Jon Boy run around aimlessly for 90 minutes, losing Arnie will be absolutely gutting, N'Zonzi level gutting.

He says he's "frustrated with the lack of ambition at the club" If that bit is true and it really is true behind the scenes, then that is the first clear sign we've had that things aren't quite right. My gut feeling is he's been tapped up somewhere to the tune of 100k a week plus, with the ambition line a convenient excuse. You must have had your eyes shut really tight to have missed all the other clear signs.

Indeed He may of course be using it as an excuse but there is more than a grain of truth behind it This may push Shaq over the edge as well Thought the same about Shaqiri mate and Butland also Shaq I can see happening Jack will either be Christmas or next season given doubts about his ankle - thankfully for us If Arnie's statement is true then he must have got wind we are not on the look out for much - which is even more worrying

So that West Ham ITK did know something after all? how much will we get do you reckon? higher or lower than 20M? Interesting to see what line we take. With Sobhi and Verlinden next in line. I suppose we may be temptedat the right price if his heart's not in it. But certainly can't see West Ham putting £25m down for him, can you?

Please don't let it be a Prem club, if he went to WHU I'd despair. This.

Got to hope for a bidding war... Everton could be interested.... Better than £50mil for Gylfi

Sell & get at least 3 players in
Invest with a minimum of £30 million for him.

If any West Ham fan comes on here giving it the big I am, I could quite possibly lose my shit. Please go abroad, I could deal with that.

Can't blame him I'm fucked off with the lack of ambition too That's just garbage, he's a great player if it was lack of ambition why sign a new contract last year when he was on a free, there was no interest from anyone better so he stayed now there is and he has clearly been tapped up and is trying to force a move.

If he goes to West Ham it'll be a kick in the footballing goolies.
Will be gutted if he leaves this window. On the positive spin though, I do hope that, should he go, we get to see some more of Sobhi in action. If we can retain Shaqiri as well, playing with Bojan and Berahino, I reckon we'll be fine. But yeah this is a bit shit.

No I can't and part of me thinks this is the buying club talking - and it certainly reeks of a classless ***** trick. Right up their alley. We'll be lucky to break 15M on this one now I reckon. The Transfer request plus a tinderbox of a character has completely goosed us.

In a world where Swansea have rejected a £40million bid for Sigurdsson, and demanding £50million, we ought to be upping our valuations. The transfer request really doesn't help us, mind.

Why would he want West Ham though? Everton/Liverpool will jump in.

If he goes to West ham think we can accuse him of moneygrabbing, nothing to do with ambition. Whatever happens, just not West ham.

Surely the line will be to turn down any request and tell the world 'we don't need to sell'. If bidding war ensues then so be it... £35-40m pricetag on his head.

What's so special about West Ham? Probably the 40 grand a week pay rise?

Like has been said before he has more off games than good so just get as much as we can and re invest in players who can do it more than 3 in 10.
