What will be a good price to sell Tavares
Nuno Tavares is one of the Arsenal players who will be expected to move out of the club this summer.
The young Portuguese defender has been attracting strong interest from clubs such as Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Turkish side Galatasaray.
Despite the injury to the new arrival Jurrien Timber, Mikel Arteta does not see a path for Tavares in his team, going forward.
Last week, there were reports that the Gunners would be willing to do a deal for the 23-year-old for €15 million. And even though the majority of fans were happy with it, that certainly would not have been a good business from the London side.
Just look at this video and then tell me he’s not a good player
The full back impressed in his first season in the toughest competition in the world, the Premier League. As he was not suited to Arteta’s inverted fullback philosophy, he was loaned out to French outfit Marseille.
Tavares impressed there too, making 39 appearances for the Les Phocéens, scoring six goals. He has already shown that he has the ability to play at the top of the game and considering he won’t turn 24 until next year, you can only imagine how good he can actually get in a setup which suits him.
The recent report from The Mirror, stating Nottingham Forest are hoping to strike a deal in the region of £30 million for the Arsenal man seems rational.
There is definitely a player in there and most Gunners fans seem to be forgetting that. With Kieran Tierney looking to be out of the club looking for regular minutes, I would not be against Tavares staying at the Emirates Stadium.

He gives Arsenal something different to what Oleksandr Zinchenko and the now-injured Timber can provide. And isn’t it better to have players of different qualities in the team? So that you boast an unpredictable punch at all times?
I guess we have not thought about this situation long and hard. Tavares has the potential to form into a really good player in the future.
And letting him go for peanuts might come back to haunt us.

Nothing less than 20million, currency regardless.lol
Close to my offer between 20 – 25 million as he is a great athlete and can be coached by a real coach to a high standard.
I heard Nottingham Forest are willing to pay £30m for his service. I think it’s a bit high despite his age, physicality and potential, because he’s inconsistent and not homegrown
His arrival at Arsenal two seasons ago showed that Arteta planned to use a conventional LB in his starting XI, before Arteta suddenly decided to use an unorthodox tactic last season
I hope Arsenal have been paying Benfica in installments, otherwise the purchase would be a bad investment
Why would it be a bad investment?
He was bought for a reported £7,000,000 two years ago, proved not good enough and now being touted for (again reportedly) £300,000, 000.
The question is, what did MA / Edu see in him that didn’t inspire them to work closely with the player to improve him, after laying out said £7,000,000? Time and effort perhaps?
Sorry, £30,000,000!!!
I forgot he just cost around £8m. I thought it was £15m
I believe Arteta wanted Tierney and Tavares to become our main attacking LBs two seasons ago, hence Tavares’ signing
Tavares seems perfect for a winger role, but I don’t think our coaches have the time to retrain him. Kroenke would likely want an EPL, UCL or EL trophy this season after spending a lot of money
Ken Only A fantasist would EXPECT £ 30 mil for THIS player. Not a serious chance. I reckon around £ 10 mill, possibly a couple of mill more, if we can find a mug club for him.
As for what he is worth, like all players, he is worth exactly what some club will agree to pay for him. That applies to Messi, Ronaldo and even Tavares.
Trying to guess a paper value for a player as mentally poor as he, is a sheer guess but very little, is my guess.
It is only a bad investment in the sense that he took up a squad place and failed to make the grade, but not especially bad, purely financially, I suppose.
If Arsenal values Partey at £12 million like it’s being said, then I wouldn’t be surprised if they put Tavares at half that. The board at Arsenal gives this impression of a team swimming in a pool of money. They don’t apply themselves much when it comes to evaluating their assets, but are always eager to overpay for anything from the attic, anyone’s attic. Anything the owner deems unimportant to them.
Who says Arsenal value Partey at £12 million?
I suggest NO ONE does Ken. Some fans just pluck rather silly figures out of the air without any thought at all.
Arsenal value the fullback come winger at £30 million and they value Partey at £40 million. Any team that bids less will be rejected. Anti Arsenal fans in the media and bloggers pretending to be Arsenal fans are setting false values at £12 million in the hope Arsenal sell cheaply or do not get the bids the players deserve. Anyone disagreeing are idiots or Anti Arsenal fans pretending to be Arsenal fans.
Look.Who gives a toss.So we get as much as we can.£30 million about right When a barely known youngster from Chelsea Called Hall can go for £20 million to Newcastle? Are we stupid.Look what clubs demand from us.About time w3 stop flogging our players for buttons.
By the way.Hope the club gets the Full £50 million from Chelsea for Balogun!
Daveg.Exactly.£12 million? Are they having a 😂 An obvious wind up.
There’s nothing as “fair price”. Like every other commodity, the “fair price” of a player is what the buyer is willing to pay. Just recall the drama with Caicedo!
So if Arsenal have decided to sell Tavares, his price will be what a willing buyer can pay and if the player wants to join.
It’s not the talent that matters the most but the mentality of a person. Nuno doesn’t fill me with confidence when it comes to how serious he is about football. He is talented and with right coaching can convert into a deadly winger imo. But does he have the patience and attitude to learn what he doesn’t know? I doubt there.
NO! You’ve not made a mistake in your rating of Tavares high. But in as much as Arteta knows very we’ll that Tavares is a top quality player. Yet, he looks to no longer want him to be in his Arsenal team. Principally I think it’s because Tavares was once rude and insolent to him in an Arsenal match. When he subed him off in the match as he was playing badly for Arsenal in it. But has Tavares apologise to Arteta for his misbehaving to him since the incident happened? Which if Tavares had done could lead to Arteta to forgive him and keeps him in his team coaching him to adapt to his game playing philosophy model moving forward. But would Arteta keeps a player however good he is in his team who is disrespecting him?
I laugh at some comments.
Timber is injured and will be away much longer.
We have Tavares who performed well last season on loan. Why can’t Arteta bring him back to the squad and keep him as a cover for the injured timber?
Tavarez is rubbish, he is a great athletic but a poor footballer. In my opinion he is not worth more than 5m. But if we can get some sucker to pay 30m, why not.
How many season did u watch him play to term him rubbish?
Some players are rubbish and you see it from the start. He has no quality of a good football player other than athleticism. Can’t cross, can’t dribble in narrow spaces, only in large spaces when he can use his speed. Can’t defend, zero awareness. Terrible technique in first touch, cross, and shooting. Terrible decision-making in attack and defense.
You do not develop such qualities at 23. He might improve but his ceiling is very low, which is why Arteta does not consider him now that Timber is injured.
There’s no such thing as a fair price, only what clubs are prepared to pay. Its then up to the selling club to decide if they take that or hang on to the player. Of course if they aren’t going to play him its pretty pointless to keep paying his wages.
Gareth Bale went from LB to LW as his attacking was so much better than his defending, Taveres has a tenancy to score and get forward alot plus do it very well just abit dodgy defending but has the pace as he is quick.
£25m sell & buy back clause inserted into deal with 1st refusal if he comes good sounds about right.
Teirney stays until Jan until Timber is ready to return! Tomiasyu doesn’t fill me with confidence at all so leave the defence alone but Raya keeps Aaron on his toes.
1.Ramsdale
2.Raya
1. White Saliba Gabriel Zink
2. Tomi Holding Kiwior Teirney
When Timber returns gives more options plus maybe the possibility of Holding departing in Jan. He may be needed for the time being like Teirney is they arnt going to be starters this season.
