‘The banter continues’ - These Arsenal fans frustrated as player set to move on cheap

With Arsenal presumably after any additional funds they can get their hands on this summer, fans may be thinking they’re on the wrong end of a steal with this potential deal.

Reports suggest that on-loan goalkeeper David Ospina is on the verge of a permanent move to Napoli – with the Serie A club hoping to bypass a clause in his contract that would allow them to buy the Colombian for just £2m – instead of paying Arsenal £3.1m.

For a ‘keeper of Ospina’s international status in today’s market, some fans see it as a disastrous deal from Arsenal’s point-of-view, with his market value of £3.6m currently belying his would-be transfer fee.

And with The Gunners low on cash this summer and sure to be in need of a new No2 goalkeeper (with the departure of Petr Cech), the measly sum on offer for the 30-year-old has got supporters questioning the club’s ability to sell on players for a reasonable price – especially in light of letting Aaron Ramsey leave for free.

Judging by the comments below, there seems to be a lack of faith from fans towards the negotiators at Arsenal, as a critical transfer window for the club picks up pace:

Just reject this deal. Put him for sale and surely we can get at least 5m for an international keeper

Can’t we just say ‘no’. I’m sure we can find a buyer somewhere for at the very least €5 million?

Why do we sell so cheap?

2 mill for an international keeper. Why do we keep giving away our players at ridiculously low prices? I bet Man Utd or Liverpool could have gotten 15m for him
