Hi Ed,
Any truth to us having accepted £10M for el neny? That would be amazing.
Thanks!
{Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry, I have not heard of any offer, nor have I heard of Arsenal looking to sell him.}

Elneny is a good player for us. Why on earth would ou be happy if we sold him.

Elneny is class I would be gutted to see him go I'd rather jack and Theo go for 5m each than let him go.

Elneny is a one dimensional player, who should not be considered up to our standard. I don't question his heart or how happy he is to play for us, but he is not more than stop-gap. I would rather we play Bielik or any other youth that might progress. Furthermore, £10M would be twice what we paid, so good business. We can take some of that cash and bring back Éboue.

Also, thanks Ed for your reply!

I think elneny is a great squad player. Doesn't set the world alight just slots in and does the job when needed.

Agree D, like a few of our players, no better than filler.

I like Elneny, and I think he was spanking good value at 5mil. Came from a good team who all play proper football, and he does the job when asked. As nice as it would be to have 30m pound players kept back on the bench just in case they are needed, but it isn't going to happen, and if it did, you just end up with unhappy players causing trouble. Therefore sometimes a players best attribute is that they are happy to be a squad player and step up when required. Elneny fits very nicely into this category.

Every team needs fillers Steve.

Dags i agree but ours seem happy just being that and that's probably the big problem. No ambition or talent to be the main course and take us to the top. Elneny is happy apparently at arsenal and doesn't want to move for first team football. Not exactly chomping at the bit. Not picking on him, there are more just saying. He comes in does a job and doesn't set the world on fire but doesn't thrill either.
