Yeah as much as I want us to keep them I don't see the point of losing out on a big pay day for one season. And definitely not for Ozil who would certainly sulk for the year.
normally i'd agree but say we sell them both late in the window, having signed no-one else of note. for me, that has a wider ranging impact than missing out on 80m-90m. we're already lagging well behind, doing a major rebuild now would bury us for another few seasons
i reckon keep them regardless, go as big as possible in the transfer market and try to win something big next season. then have another go at getting them to re-sign.
and i think ozil will have a good season next year. he tends to have an upswing when there's no off-season tournaments and he gets a proper pre-season in
not too bothered if either of them sign for a rival when they're both 30. we'll have gotten their best years
