Your right they do but here’s a bit of irony....... any player we sign, who pulls his weight in the club is treated like family by the chairman and his predecessor (Dad)...... take slab ead’ Maguire, when Manc U were sounding him out Vichai told the player to give himself another year for us, then he’d get his move, which he agreed to and the chairman stuck to his word and the deal went through 12 months later, albeit on the cheap !
Roy Keane hit the nail on the head when he said going to Arsenal atm would be a backward step,yes they are a bigger club atm but currently team wise, 1st eleven, they stand in our shadows, they are nowhere near us, fact !
Vards saw it and stayed put !
Who do you think would progress Maddison’s game better atm , Arteta or Rogers ?
He has everything he needs where he is, I’d be the 1st person to applaud him as an opposing player if he was bettering himself as I did Heskey when he went to Liverpool because he was.
The proof was in the pudding when we had Chelsea’s pants down with £30 million for Drinkwater, fookin mugs !
Fact is we don’t need to sell, we only sell if our valuation is met and a player expresses a desire to leave.
I definitely see him bettering himself but not to Arsenal where they are at present .
