You may be surprised but, we honestly didn't need the dosh, and we never need to sell, nowadays. Not only is the club extremely well run, but we have a very, very deep money chest. The truth is, as Arsene wanted OXO so badly, our Chief Exec just wanted his £15M pound of flesh, so to speak, in return..!
I know that. Where did I give the impression that we needed to sell him..? Note my post immediately above yours.
Surely we can't be getting 40% sell on fee plus the stated 12mil, rising to 15?!! I was over the moon with the possible 15 mil, 40% is just ludicrous but good for us ludicrous!
Well, you know what the answer is to that..? Win a few Premier League titles, and throw in the odd Champions League Final too. That should keep them coming back. The question for you is... how to do it..?
Do we want Alex to fail because for the moment we're annoyed or do we want him to realise his potential so Barcelona poach him? Difficult one. I don't know if we got the sell on clause we wanted or settled for a large fee up front. Cortese can't have won every argument. Can he? I suppose a large sell on clause reduces the incentive for Aresenal to sell him except for a massive fee and that's a long way down the line. Also like Saints they don't really neeed to sell their players, it's just that players have a lot of power now.
Thought Arsenal fans might like to hear the Monday Night Club from the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0131zt2/5_live_Sport_The_Monday_Night_Club_08_08_2011/ Start on 37 minutes. I think you'll agree with a lot of the comments.
I'm sure I noticed at the Leeds game that it's up to £2.80 for a hot drink and a choclate bar. And they no longer sell Yorkie bars.
