That would be stupid.
He's on a long term contract and his best years are way ahead of him.
Though if that leaked audio is anything to go by, maybe it's he himself who wants to move on.

If the leaked recording was him, and I'm not convinced it was, his problem was with the coaching.
That problem has been solved now. He can't be sold.

Selling Hector for peanuts would be the dumbest move ever especially as we've got no replacement. Walker went for 52 million FFS .... Hector under a decent coach & system is worth double that.
€50m isn't peanuts unless you are a billionaire. £50m wouldn't be an unreasonable bid for a full back and money the board are likely to take. But we have no back up right back. We already have enough holes in the team that we don't need to create another and £50m isn't really going to allow us to plug 2 gaps in the side. If we sold a player and were able to plug 2 holes then yes that is a good deal.Quote:

The audio was definetly him. But he's going nowhere now.
I'd like to see Bellerin stay at least one or two seasons under a new manager and see how he does.
At the moment he's not good enough. He's terrible at both ends of the pitch. He was never a natural defender and he rarely produces anything in the final third. But maybe a new coach could teach him what Wenger could not.
If somebody can explain coherently how a voice that distinctive and difficult to mimmick can be hoaxed I'll consider the recording was a fake....but as far as I'm concerned it was him. It's not like half the squad haven't wanted out of here...so it's hardly difficult to believe.
I fear that often when a player's mind is made up it's made up and their heart is simply set on leaving and will only stay if the buying club doesn't quite do enough to make it happen. He could view Wenger's departure as something that will make it easier even. If the Giroud deal is anything to go by, he'll probably be asking Wenger to help it happen before Wenger goes!
Having said that we hold the cards. He's on a long contract (I think still...) and we don't have to sell.
Arsenal want a new keeper and a whole new back four this summer. Story: https://t.co/gP8mT6GYgt

I believe it’s definitely him and I’ll continue to believe so unless I see a denial. The fact he kept quiet when it would easily have been brought to his attention tells me everything I need to know.Quote:
