No he won't. He's not thay good, and th bubble is slowly deflating, if not quite bursting as yet. If they hold out for £100M they basically just won't get it; sign him up to a longer comtract (maybe a bit less - but not much than he's on) and see him go on a free. THAT ma Ynot be quite the golden rainbow his agent is dreaming of either)
But not as good.
Probably not. We've broken into the biggish fee market now with White. Less outside pressure (Leeds) on Bissouma, so £40 or £50M could be enough.
Means F all to football's money hierarchy,. New contract (£3M a year) to stay here - on that level he might tell his agent to stuff it.Opposition fans begging him to join their clubs in the posts underneath

If he signs a new contract, then it should exceed Whites. But if he doesnt, there is no chance.

Re his injury, I can't see that it is anything other than a minor strain as surely we wouldn't have let him continue to play if it was. The really annoying point would be if it ruled him out of the Palace game. Knowing our luck v Palace it probably will.
Nailed on, tbh. The palace pact with the devil paying off, yet again.

It could work in our favour that the game is on Monday.
An extra couple of days for Biss (and even Tariq who knows) could make the difference
Very often in the EPL new contracts are signed with a big pay rise, but with a release clause in case a mega club like Liverpool or Leeds come in for the player.
Giving a greater transfer fee to the selling club.

Looks like Biss has bigger aspirations than joining Arsenal these days.
Nice comments from Rodgers about the player.

Sounds like he is buttering him up for an approach at some time to me. Still, if we maintain or creep up the table a bit from here, he won't need to move to play CL football.

I think this is the first time I've seen a player express ambitions above what we can offer so openly, so honestly, that I haven't felt those schoolboy twinges of "oh eff you then, don't want to play for us? Eff off" (not that I ever effed and jeffed as a schoolboy of course).
I hope he wins the Champions League one day. Go ON Yves!

This analysis video is worth 8 minutes of your time, if only to really appreciate just what we have.
Never say never. We might get a Champions League spot this year.

Can I just add another compliment to Bissouma, which may or may not already have been said.
His disciplinary record is terrific. Considering the number of tackles he puts in, he doesn't get many yellows. He gets wound up by opponents as he's our best player, but he hardly ever strikes out. If he does find himself wrongside, he still fancies himself to get the tackle in so doesn't foul too often.
Obv there are are always going to be some bookings, he is a defensive mid, but much less than some others in his position.

Sometimes it is easy to mistake an oppo pass as loose, when in fact it's just been anticipated by Biss. What a player.
Should be ok for Monday it seems.
