Around the Gyokeres transfer, it wasn’t the protracted negotiations that were annoying. It was the daily bullshit click bait fest by journalists and newspapers that was the real ball ache. Also the fact needy fans got sucked into such farcical reportage.

Transfer at that level take time, as some others have said it was Romano acting as his agents spokescunt that annoyed

It seems that our share is 3.75 million Euros, which is about £3.25 million. I think we owe Brighton 10% of what we get, so we will end up with just under £3 million. It’s a nice sum but hardly a fortune.

I hope we spend it wisely

I know that, what annoys is the pathetic media shit show, side show. The daily churn of journalistic (and that is a big comlement) bullshit.

When all is said and done , this is how good he was for them and he deserves his crack at the very top , an unbelievable forward a type you dont really see today a sort of late 90s early 2000s number 9 and thats why I think he will do great at arsenal, there arent many like him

Just me who thinks this is a pretty bang average -> shit announcement video. What’s it even mean.

Love that hes taken the 14 shirt as well. Shows where his confidence is right now.

If we ever see him at the CBS I’m pretty sure he’ll be appreciative of what we as a club and fanbase did for him.

He'll smash it there.

Can see him getting pissy with Arteta if they don't just punt him the ball, which they won't.

This is a good read on why this deal was done and perhaps why it took some time:

Inside Viktor Gyokeres’ transfer to Arsenal: Tough negotiating, Berta’s role and why Sesko interest cooled

After months of speculation, the club have agreed a €63.5m fixed fee with a further €10m in add-ons for Sporting CP's free-scoring striker

Still confused as to whether we have paid Brighton their current before or not? I’m guessing not though? Whilst I reckon this amount falls short of our desired amount, I also presume that the club quite rightly did not budget for receiving this money this summer ?

I’m a hypocrite here because I’m annoyed that this thread is still open after the deal has gone through. However I’ve not seen it mentioned about future income, so I’ll add to it!
Media stuff is often bollocks, but let’s take it at face value. The deal has 4 separate €2.5m add ons on top of the initial fee.
For argument’s sake, let’s say three of those are hit. We are surely due an extra €750k.
Of that, Brighton would take €75k. Regardless, for a club our size, this is not insignificant money.
I’ve heard people on here talking about £1m here or there like it’s nothing. However as a tight-fisted fan who worries about our future when we are paying rent to play in our own stadium, this is still very important money.

Looking at it another way £750,000 is 12,500 shirt sales at £60.00 retail value. Not to be sniffed at.
