Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Yeah we need some cash thrown in on any deal so that we can pay 80 mil for PogbaThey can take Wilshere and 5 million OR Wilshere, Sczesny and 10 million.
But keep your hands off Cathorla!!!
Feo will have 12 months left on his deal in the summer
From arseblog:
Last time this happened, Walcott was in a rather unique position in that big-names like Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri – in the same contractual position – had been sold and, after also losing Cesc Fabregas, the club just could not afford to let him go. Not simply for footballing reasons, but because of what it would have said about the ability to hang on to players of real importance to the team.
It meant that Theo and his people had a very, very strong bargaining position, and were able to use the fear the club felt to play it out until beyond January, at which point he signed a deal which made him the highest paid player at the club. None of which, by the way, is to be critical of that brinksmanship, because that’s the way it works in football and they took full advantage of the situation.
Now though, it’s quite different. Theo, while still a very marketable commodity, and a player who provides a goal threat, doesn’t have anywhere near the same importance to the first team or the club’s image as a whole. Quite what his intentions are regarding a new deal are anyone’s guess, but my suspicion is the club won’t be quite as willing to accommodate another drawn-out saga as they were back throughout the summer of 2012 and into January 2013 when the deal was completed.
Things have changed considerably, and if there’s an obviously reluctance on the manager’s part to use a player you have to wonder if that would be reflected in our decision when it comes to a new deal. I think we probably want him to stay, but on terms dictated much more by us than him and his advisers. It’s definitely a situation to keep an eye on, and if we get to the summer without agreement, we might see him move on.
He's a useful player and it would be daft to sell him. I don't really understand why Wenger has frozen him out.
I agree though he's not really in a position to bargain this time.
Don't think he's frozen him out, he;s just struggling to accommodate 9,763,881 attacking midfielders.

He's always injured, makes him not very valuable in my book, he's not a massive talent anyway, if we lost him it would be no big deal, he's been overrated from the day he arrived.
Well we have significantly more leverage now than we did back then. He's delusional if he thinks he'll be capable of starting for a better team than ours right now. Possibly a Liverpool but we're a much more attractive team than them right now as the Alexis deal should attest to.
It's up to him to force his way in to the first team because judging by the increasing ruthlessness Wenger's shown this season (Ches, Chambers, BFG etc getting dropped for poor form), no one is safe. His goals return is very impressive but similar to Podolski, his all round game isn't up to par ...... which is something that he needs to work on. He's basically the complete opposite of a Welbeck.
I want him to say personally because I like him and what he offers but I won't be shedding many tears if he leaves either. The ball's in his court. Try and fight his way into a team that's on the up and should always be a top four team or take an easier path with guaranteed first team football at a lower league club like Southampton or Newcastle.
He had 6 seasons in a row where he played the majority of games. He had one quite nasty injury but it's too early to throw the towel in with him just yet.
Couple of years ago, the last full season he played before his injury, he got 21 goals in 43 games.
