3 – Mathieu Debuchy
- Interested clubs: Nice and Newcastle United
- Asking price: £5million
- Current wages: £70,000p/w
If you know anyone that wants a 32-year-old right-back that’s played the whole season in the Under 23’s then please, I beg you, send a direct message to Arsene Wenger!
Somehow we’re still paying this guy £280,000 a month despite him making a handful of appearances for the first team since joining the club back in 2014.
We all thought this deal was done in late July after Nice came in for Debuchy and a medical was booked in. However, they later decided to go with the cheaper option of Christophe Jallet.
Marseille are the latest club to be linked with Debuchy as they attempt to add some sort of reinforcement in their shoddy and ever-changing defensive line-up.
Does he seem bothered? Not at all! He’s being paid stupid money to sit around and basically train a few times a week – I really don’t think there’s much effort on his side.
