So who exactly do you want us to bring in, that will cost the same as rosicky, is as good as rosicky, has the same experience as rosicky, has the same status amongst younger players, especially in germany and are willing to only play around 20 games a season/be a bench player!? You are blinded by your hatred towards Arsenal so bad.
Just give a name, i dont want some explanation about "bla bla bla", all im asking for right now is, who would you bring in instead?
Rosicky is a good player who's happy to play a squad role. Keeping him is a no brainer IMO.
I understand the concerns about his fitness however he's not on Diaby's level, he still offers the team something.
Why does he have to cost the same as Rosicky? The way I see it I'd be looking to bring a quality player in who can play regularly and allow us to rotate, my choice would be Hamsik, we shouldn't be looking for bench players, barely a quarter of the way through the season and we're already "tired"
It's not hatred towards Arsenal at all, just a fact that Rosicky has been injured all of his career.
I still don't see why this has to be an either / or choice? Why can't we keep Rosicky around, and still bring in someone long-term if the opportunity is there? We've got more money coming in than we've ever had now, and I think we're still some way below our squad quota limit, with all the players we have who count as home-grown - things like this shouldn't be an issue any more.
We don't know that for certain though - he might not have had much choice but to operate on a 'one in, one out' basis until the last year or so, but who knows what will happen now we're pulling in some serious green from Emirates and Puma (not to mention the massive hike in TV revenue)?
