Dick old boy, not wishing to pick an argument but can you clarify how at this point, January 18th, it now looks like MO will stay?
By all means think he will, have a gut feel he will, but I am unsure how it looks like he will stay when he has we believe refused all efforts to stay up to now. He is free as a bird in 13 days time, makes little sense really.
My apologies, though I reserve the right to insult you as I wish.
Personally I find the whole thing incredibly and increasingly tedious though will agree that HM coming into the club is at least something good coming from a very sorry mess.
I look forward to booing Sanchez in the future.
Well the befefits are four-fold, really.
1. We had created a squad with a CL wage structure. Now that we look highly likely to be without CL football for several years, cuts need to be made to keep the club's financial health sound.
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.
