The alternative option is to agree to everything from the off but that’s not really the Arsenal way.
In retrospect, we lost out but it would have probably derailed Martinelli & ESR, who we’d all like to see develop at the club. Trossard is probably a better fit in the circumstances anyway. Back in November I doubt Brighton would have entertained many offers below 45-50m for him.
