Kovacic was without option to buy too but Chelsea bought him for 50m euros anyway.
Anybody knows about him?
Anyway summary from Orny 5live
-We could sell Auba but very unlikely. Some deliberation on Zaha's physical abilities but we are huge admirers and he's an Arsenal fan
-Emery wants Mustafi out. Selling him will prove hard as we've tried to sell him numerous times. In fact, we have tried to sell Mustafi pretty much every window after we signed him but completely no takers.
-Optimism on Tierney, could end up costing about £25m, but rumours say less than £20m.
-We are still targeting a B2B & a wide player.
-Talks about impact of staggering payments too so we can buy more players with our £45m budget.
-Talks re Emery, Edu, Sanllehi are all key in decision making process & Orny feels Edu already involved. Sanllehi focused on contacts side.
-Salaries have to be factored into the £45m as well, not only transfer fees.
