Wenger does seem to be going a bit senile, 20mil would buy you a decent replacement on probably lower wages.
Why keep an unhappy player who probably won't try very hard instead of selling him for a decent price, way to make a point
Its honestly one of the most ridiculous things yet in a long line of ridiculous things.
Bendter got less games in the league last year than Rosicky, yet scored and assisted more, with both being essentially wingers(though neither actually prefering that role). Rosicky 950minutes or so, 1 assist, Bendtner, 500 minutes 2 goals, 2 assists. Bendtner is younger, not as injury prone and on a lower wage, while being more effective. So rather than sell Sicknote 2-3 years ago, we're getting rid of the better player, who has another decade left to play, who only wants to leave because we refuse to play him.
We're refusing to make a ridiculous fee on Nasri, to make some retarded point, even though after next Summer we'll still be down a player, just, with 20mil less in our pockets.
Ok, if the fee for Nasri was being rumoured at 5mil, or 3mil, meh, thats not exactly a huge difference, but 20mil, plus his wages for the year, we can essentially be 22.5mil better off by selling him now.
I'm even wound up about the Gervinho thing, everyone else was pushing transfers through early, Arsenal screwed about and now he's not with the squad training at the moment when had we just got it done a week earlier, he'd be out getting to know the team, training and getting games under his belt with the team.
Wenger just makes life harder for the team for no reason. Sorry but how can we keep Rosicky, asides from the injury issues, we still barely played him last year, he was almost completely ineffective when we did, and he's on a pretty big wage.
