Are you and Marvin one and the same person ?
He’s just trying to cover himself.
Had a long, heated debate with him in the summer where I made the point that Arsenal keeping Sanchez would prove to be an awful decision (losing the larger transfer fee, causing discontent amongst the players, no guarantee they would have better performances for keeping him given their difficulties the previous season with him, etc) and he adamantly told me, via very suspect rationale, that I was wrong.
Many others argued the same with him later, as well.
Fast forward to this transfer window and he somehow still thinks he was right, despite Arsenal now losing millions of dollars, having an unsettled dressing room, being 6th in the league, and struggling to recruit any decent players due to their waning reputation.
But he has a feeling something isn’t right, so all is well with his predictive analysis.
