Chelsea do this all the time, keep extending with kids who they signed 10 years ago and still somehow make a profit on them.
They also let two of the best young right backs in the league walk for next to nothing, as well as allegedly turning down big money for Hudson Odoi, who has less league goals than Reece James.
On top of spending 450+ million on Lukaku, Havertz, Werner, Chilwell, Pulisic and Kepa over the last 2-3 years. So i can live with not operating exactly as they do. They did win a pretty big trophy in May though so i’m sure they’re not too upset about it.
Do i wish we had handled AMN better? Definitely. But this sort of thing isn’t anything new to the club, and it’s definitely not something exclusive to Arsenal either, so i’m not going to lose any sleep over it. Especially after we made 70ish off Iwobi, Willock and Emi.
As long as we’re keeping the kids we should be keeping (Saka, ESR, Gabi etc), then i can live with players like Nketiah, Nelson and AMN slipping between the cracks. Part of the game in my eyes.
