Surely the fact he's talking about selling him is a good omen for us? I just cant see Arsenal turning down £55m+ for someone with 12 months left on his contract.
Definitely seems to lay the groundwork for an out and far softer than the firm no from last month. Says board are behind him, but if the board said "We're with you Arsene, we won't sell no matter what." then he wouldn't have started the quote by saying if the board wants to sell ill have to accept that. He would just say no,not happening (like S'Ton did with VVD today). Sounds like they prepped him that if theyget a big enough offer they'll sell.
