Maybe. I just can't see the sense in keeping him for a year.

Do you guys not notice this trend? Every year there seems to be a rush for one of your big players because their contract is coming up, and every year you guys post about how it's all fine and they'll never sell to a rival and they'll play until they run out, and every year they leave. Surely you have noticed this? Why do you constantly think it will be different every new time?

There's some recent precedence in Arsenal's favor in that they haven't sold a lot in the past 5 years since RVP. They've largely been buying than selling.

Because Kelechi Iheanacho and Nolito made 70 appearances for us last year combined.

but depsite that neither were happy with their amount of playing time and that's despite being clearly inferior players to the ones picked ahead of them. I imagine it would create even more unrest with players who all see themselves a couple of levels above those two.

I would love it to work and would be happy to be proven wrong on this but i can't see how you can satisfy all of those players. I understand the merits of and the need for rotation but i still think your top drawer players need to know they're the first pick when push comes to shove. They want to know that if a champs league final came along and they were all fit, they'd be getting the nod. If we can get him and everyone can be happy then brilliant, let's do it. I just find it hard to believe myself.

With all respect mate, we were hampered. We were tied into long term sponsorship deals and kit deals that were way below market value and what our rivals were getting, we had to make a profit each year, so to buy players we had to trade.

You honestly think that our club doesn't care about winning? I would say we aren't ruthless enough when it comes to winning, but I think we are just not good enough at the end of the day, rather than not caring.

Bollicks, there were times about 2/3 the way through last season that your players clearly threw the towel in away from home, otherwise you would have pissed too 4. And now the one that was trying wants to leave. #will to win my ARSE

There is no doubt something in that in that Arsenal suffered from Chelsea and then City's windfall. Arsenal played it safe and chose not to compete and now Wenger is sat on a volcano, but it's his and his board's making. I don't believe that Arsenal could not have responded any other way. There are the financial markets, their cash pile and their own billionaire backers. If you want to put it down to economics, how do City make a profit when spending twice as much as Arsenal? Arsenal were in a very powerful position as you were in the top 2 and could pick the best players.

As Marvin points out, you're owned by 2 extremely wealthy individuals who could have chosen to spend but didn't. Don't buy 'we had to make a profit' either. You could have speculated to accumulate and didn't.
