2. We get rid of players that have no interest in being at the club.

3. We've got rid of deadwood in Coqulein and Walcott, got rid of players with appauling attitudes (Alexis) and replaced with Mikitahyrian who is quality.

4. It frees up wage budget to get Ozil to stay because we were likely unable to meet his wage demands prior to that.
I appreciate money has been freed up by Walcott and Coquelin however I doubt we will succumb to whatever Ozil’s wage request is at this stage as we are simply too principled and business orientated to do so.

Where you have specifically said “unable”, I suggest the correct word is “unwilling”.
