With the Bruno G pursuit looking doomed for Arsenal, who won't go above £80m and now chasing Alex Scott who is also your no.1 target, will this be another case of you beating us on wages?

I think Bruno will end up playing his football in Liverpool, but you may well end up with the lad from Madrid and his wages.
I certainly hope Scott is not our No1 target. I personally would be happy if your lot got him.

I expect Arsenal pays higher wages than Chelsea nowadays, but would Chelsea owners be willing to pay more by way of a (amortised over many years!) purchase price?
BG is probably well worth going pretty high for - would be hugely helpful to CFC if Enzo F leaves - but the problem is that, at 28, the CFC amortisation route is not as attractive/sensible as with a younger player.
I still expect BG to end up being signed by Arsenal - and Vinicius Jr staying at Madrid. But still a lot of time to the end of the transfer window.

Pretty sure most Arsenal players are on higher wages. As far as I'm aware, it's only James and Fofana who are on above 200k/week. The likes of Palmer, Caicedo, Enzo, Pedro are all on 150-190k/week, I believe, not sure what we're paying Rogers yet. Arsenal, however, currently have 7 players above the 200k mark. One is Jesus, who I'd expect to leave, but Saka is on 300k, Havertz on like 280k. Saliba, Rice, Odegaard, Gyokeres are all 200k+. Even Madueke is on 150k, whereas he was on a modest £50k/week at Chelsea before he left for you guys.
As for competing for Scott, I think you'll sign Bruno G, it just seems sort of inevitable. Not sure we go for him despite the rumoured bid a few weeks ago, unless we sell Enzo. Don't see how you sign Vini Jr with his wage demands. He wants something like EUR30m net a year, which would be around EUR60m or £51m/year, which is roughly £900k/week to sign a new deal at Madrid. Granted they receive 50% of his image rights, so perhaps a deal could be done if you guys don't take a slice of that pie. But still think he'd be wanting around the £400-500k/week.
