Here is one for you guys,
You have your 2 best players due to contract renewals, and you have just about X amount of cash, thise 2 players can make you decent amount of cash.
Now do you sell them and get fresh blood in the sqaud or do you splash all you have and keep the charisma high in the team?
09 Dec 2016 09:18:53
Or to put it another way Moe do we want to go forwards or backwards?
Cashing in on Mesut and Sanchez would unquestionably be a huge step backwards while retaining them and adding to them would be a very big step in the opposite direction.
I doubt there's many if any fans who would celebrate more financial success at the cost of football success once more.

Gunner I disagree, if we sell and buy from the jumble sale yes but if we sell and buy from harrods, its not a step backwards. In fact all the top teams every so often have bit of decoration done. I would hope we have moved on from the van persie error, of selling and pocketing more than half and buying a one trick pony.

Steve I would rather stick that twist mate as I'm not to sure we would be looking for a 21 or a 5 card trick but be much more interested in becoming the banker.
While Mesut and Sanchez are in an Arsenal shirt there's no question of our assets being footballing ones if we sold them both for say 70 million could you really see Arsene even attempting to buy like for like?
I'd expect to have to kiss a lot of chamacks Poldolskis and Gevinios before we got another Alexis.

Gunner he wouldn't dare go back down that road, he knows the wolves are waiting.
09 Dec 2016 10:23:56
Simple answer.
Bank manager say's yes.
Foot supporter say's no.

Gunner if your wife wants to leave you for the bloke down the road, who has bigger biceps than you, better looking than you, more money than you and has more appeal than you, there's not a lot you can do about it but let her go and get another one who wants you for your interlect and charm.

We shouldn't be considering selling our two best players we should be thinking of buying top quality players to play alongside them.
They are in their prime not towards the end of careers.
Upgrade the players around them for me.
09 Dec 2016 12:53:16
If we sell because we can upgrade then I am happy
My first choice is keep them and upgrade in other areas as continuity and ambition are key to me. Selling 2 of your best players is not a great message.
09 Dec 2016 15:27:32
If we sell we have to get a transfer record sum for either. I'd be inclined to sell and tip top younger blood in. Remember that if they sign contracts we have no sell on value.

Does such a man exist Steve? :-) there's a very good reason I don't let the wife mingle with the outside world, I make her work from home and shop online, as far as she knows the street lights are still powered by gas and the milkman still has a horse.

Firstly, there's someone going disagree trigger happy lol.
Selling sanchez amd ozil for rues and aumbyang (spelling) wouldn't be too bad. But we will miss the creativity of the masut. In my opinion I would rather keep them as they know the way the team plays as they are the spin in our team along with cech and cos.

62 - funny, she told me he was hung like one. Still I struggled to hear as her thighs covered my ears so you could be right.
09 Dec 2016 19:20:21
Steve, tell gunner to be worried, I am the bloke down the road with the big moobs and i drive a Subaru.
09 Dec 2016 19:48:20
Ed I didn't put moobs in my post, with all the years I've served in her majesty's pleasure i'm like Anthony Joshua.
{Ed025's Note - more quentin crisp id say.. :)
09 Dec 2016 20:39:32
I would prefer to keep both but I certainly don't think both deserve the same deal. For me we should pay Sanchez what he wants but Ozil doesn't deserve quite the same deal for me and I just don't see him accepting less. Sanchez has become a go to man whilst for me despite his brilliance Ozil drifts in and out too much and just doesn't seem to change a fame anymore. So perhaps we keep Sanchez and cash in on Ozil?
{Ed025's Note - if i had to get rid of one it would be ozil for me as well epping, but only because sanchez is the best player in the prem by miles mate..

We have been stating we want World Class - we cannot loose them the first time we negotiate a contract. That stinks and shows we aren't a top club.
