I'll stomach it if he goes to Citeh. Plus they and Real are the only teams who'll fill Wenger's pockets. If he goes to Barca, I'll be thrust into depression.
The big problem with Robin is his age. If he was 25. Gazidis could swing £40m for him. Now he's probably worth half that, and it would be sad to see him sold because £20m usually doesn't get players of that caliber. It's not everyday a manager can grope around the bargain hamper and pull out Kompany or Oezil.
It is not worth selling him for £20mil.
For one, he is worth more than that. Even at 29, his style is not something which will deteriorate sharply over the coming years. And secondly, we have to stand for once and show we are serious about building a winning team ffs.
This summer is another pivotal one, and we have to show we mean business, or just get rid of the whole structure and start again. We can't risk selling him, and the likes of Sagna etc get their heads turned.
