That's the risk, intut

Any player would want to move to Arsenal from Norwich. The question is going to be whether Emi decides (a) that he needs to grab this NOW while his star is shining brightly and Arsenal are desperate, or (b) that he can afford to wait until the end of the season.

They can jolly well wait until the end of the season I say... (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 10:41:28
- i would expect Getafe have sell on clause too (NCFC) - pab, Jan 4, 14:24:46
- No need to sell (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Jan 4, 13:22:42
  - Plus I suspect their contracts have pretty big promotion bonuses in them. (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 4, 13:49:58
- £40m plus Willock would ordinarily be good business (NCFC) - ingi, Jan 4, 13:02:08
- £40m plus a decent player may be ok (NCFC) - Kar1, Jan 4, 12:01:20
- only if we can pick the player (n/m) (NCFC) - revsimon, Jan 4, 11:46:06
- Trouble with these deals is that Willock and Nelson will see this (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 4, 10:42:35
  - VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - helvegtheowl, Jan 4, 13:56:40
  - As long as Emi or his agent don't demand a move this window, I can't see him going yet (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 4, 11:14:09
    - That's the risk, intut (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 4, 11:19:00
      - i'd be wary of taking a player plus cash (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 4, 12:52:46
      - Emi has massively improved since his dropping by Farke (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:21:03
      - Could we in theory just refuse to sell for any price until the end of the season? (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:20:54
        
        We can, and I'm sure conversations have been had with Emi (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 4, 11:24:32
        
        Yes, deffo (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 4, 11:23:45
        
        In an odd way, his sulkiness is also part of his charm. :) (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:30:08
        
        Yes, I believe he signed a 5 year deal prior to last season. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:21:59
        
        I suppose then the risk you have an angry player. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:23:16
        
        Yep. And then he gets dropped like last time (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:26:32
  - Spot on (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 4, 11:12:36
  - I can't see us selling him this window (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 4, 11:07:40
    - Just feels like Arsenal may be desperate enough to pay £50+ (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:19:25
      - They won't pay that in January. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 4, 11:40:21
      - I don't think so - £50m is a huge sum of money (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 4, 11:26:22
        
        Arsenal are a buying club. They spent £70m on Xhaka and Mustafi (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:32:57
        
        £50m would make him their third most expensive player ever (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 4, 11:36:19
        
        Don't bet against it in the cl8se season when they've off loaded some of the deadwood, (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 4, 11:51:03
        
        Guess they'll have to go rooting through the euro leagues (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:45:26
      - I doubt they'll feel able to spend that kind of money in January (NCFC) - jampersands, Jan 4, 11:26:14
        
        They need to sell to buy - have loads of dead wood to shift (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 4, 11:28:22
        
        Then they won't get him in my opinion! They certainly shouldn't. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 11:34:09
        
        On their fan page, they all seem to want Grealish. Can't see that happening either. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 4, 11:39:10
  - Agree but take Nelson on loan for the rest of the season to fill the wing we're missing (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 4, 10:46:50
