Must be because they know they're the only ones after him.

What is your gut feeling on what the Club should do assuming Barca are serious in any offer being under £35m/35m euro depending on reports?
you forget though the papers say thay are selling bojan in exchange or sanchez so thy'd only pay lol 20 mill plus the player.
Villa is meaat to be going for £40 mill to city. so the money they make of of him could be for cesc.
like i said before i can't see villa leaving though.
well until one party backs down the player is going no where.
end of the day if we kept him for 4 years and at the age of 28 he went on a free to barca would be have lost anything not really.
apart from keepibg hold of a player that doesnt want to be here
subsequently putting in half arsed performances which in turn proves to be detremental for the overall good of the team ranging from the fans to the board
denying us any kind of worthwhile transfer funds thus harming any hope we had of competing with the bigger clubs which in turn forces out of the top 4, CL and if we are lucky just about makes us a decent cup team if best
So we would lose much i suppose, youre right!
It wouldnt work like that though.apart from keepibg hold of a player that doesnt want to be here

If we did keep him for the next 4 years and he didnt perform, then the fans would turn on him and he'd be benched for a few weeks. He would soon get fed up of sitting there and not playing, he has got that winner in him and he would want to be involved to keep his playing edge, he'd still have the national team entry to consider too.
this
I think they should sell him now but try and offer him to the likes of Madrid etc to push the price up, keeping him till next season will lower his value again.
Problem seems to be that he's willing to stay, thus offering him to someone else would p*ss him off no doubt....it's a tough one, but Barcelona are playing hardball too
The question is what can we get for 35 million, if we can get a couple top players it could be worth it, even if it's not what we wanted price wise.
point taken but I would seriously not like to see it come to that
I would hate to see the fans turn on Cesc like what happened with Ade, who brought it on himself which I suppose could be said if Cesc ever decided to go down a similar road
Of course making him see out his contract is well within our rights but by doing so we run the risk of having an unhappy player on our hands which from experience does not always bode well for the clubon a whole especially when the player happens to be our star and most valuable asset
We have to play this one clever as it could turn round and bite us on the arse, the power of the player and more still the agent is mind blowingly powerful, my point is this could be the year that we get to cash in on Cesc
I agree that I would like to see Cesc leave this season, but only if we get a top quality replacement, and beyond that supplement the squad with quality all over the pitch. Cesc may be the captain, and losing him may send the wrong signals, but ultimately, we know he's going to leave eventually, and at the start of last season, most believed this would be his last attempt at winning something with us. Well, we failed again, and Cesc was as responsible as anyone else for that.
There's also the question that we need a change in mindset at the club, and while we don't need to abandon our style entirely, it does need changing, and a more pluralistic approach to our football is needed, where players are adaptable and can cope when facing different kinds of opposition. I just feel that Cesc, when the conditions are good, will look like a world beater, but when the conditions aren't exactly conducive for the type of football he likes playing, he loses effectiveness significantly.
This is not to forget the huge contribution he's made to us over the last 7 years, but I think it's time for change at Arsenal, not just with personnel but with attitude and philosophy, and given that we expect Cesc to leave eventually, and given that he in many epitomises the "Wenger project" more than any other player, I think it's the right time to sell him and try a different approach, that is less one dimensional and reliant on one player pulling the strings.
