I don't get it.  IMO we need to purge to be able to move forward without any baggage.  We're never going to recoup anything for him in a depression and he'll leave as a free agent.  Suck it up and just clean the slate ffs. 

Why is that better? Wouldn't the only difference in cost be that we pay him his entire salary for the remainder of his contract now instead of weekly? That's not smart. Both because you don't simply pay earlier than you have to and because you shouldn't tell other players that this is something you're willing to do.

Agreed, you don’t want to set a precedent, arguably this is happening because of what happened with Sokratis and Ozil.

Just send him out on loan somewhere if you don’t want him around.

We’ve rejected Everton’s loan bid for AMN, Hector linked with Barcelona to replace Emerson who’s seemingly going to Spurs.

They want him to replace Emerson who is going to Spurs.

Apparently AMN wants to go but we now want him to stay 😆

Yep, we want him to sit on the bench another year.

Can't blame him. Go play for a proper manager at a decent team.

hey, guy we've frozen out and played trash players ahead of for the last year, you're very important to us. wouldn't be surprised if AMN hated arteta at this point

The last time we wanted him to stay was when Wolves wanted him and we sat him on the bench for half a season before we sent him out on loan.

My bad for not reading the full article as I hadn't thought he wanted us to pay him out on his remaining contract for him to go.

That said I thought we had already set the precedent under AW = didn't we pay out Denilson so that he could join the club he was on loan at in Brazil?  I don't think it was anything substantial.

As for sending him out on loan IIRC the player still has to agree to go, which is how Nelson didn't go on loan last season and Saliba didn't join an English club.

Had seen something last week that he wasn't keen because Everton want him as RB.  If he's now prepared to leave and do so at another club it does not reflect well on either Arteta or Edu.

What a fucking mess. Does Arteta have any control of the dressing room? Joke of a manager.

Another strike against Arteta and Edu

Well he won’t play now that’s for sure!

Great content for All or nothing.

when you buy a ticket for the circus, dont be surprised when the clowns show up

this club is in absolutely dire condition. my god
