Problem is that Mkhi is 30 in January. Who on our level is gonna buy him? We might get lucky and sort something out with Dortmund but I doubt it. If anyone is interested it will be clubs in the tier below us, and he'll have to drop some wages to make it happen. Once he leaves Arsenal his top club career is over. If I were him I'd stay for another year or two, see if I could win a spot back.
Yea it's gonna be tricky. Club's have a wage structure, so initial negotiations take about 45 seconds on the phone. They just mention ball park figures. Like the players going to want 45k. If the club's ceiling is 30k the deal is dead. For a striker they'll pay 30% ish more usually.
So Dortmund would have to be playing non strikers €170k a week to take miki. I just can't see it. With prem wages so inglated its easy to forget just how much less other leagues pay. If he was older his CV might enable a MLS move. China don't seem to be picking up the shit players anymore.
I said at the time adding miki when we already have a flakey ozil was just nuts. But in a way I kinda see why they went for it Auba connection and he was always going to flop under Jose. And he's the type that Wenger could maybe turn around. And with the and ox gone there was a big whole on the right
