I wouldnt say that - Ozil is barely even training with the first team. He's been made to train with Guendouzi and the reserves on multiple occasions.Ozil, kolasanac and mustafi aren't going anywhere mustafi and kola both on 100k plus neither are getting half that if they move elsewhere both will see out there contracts. I reckon there will be surprises for the players we do sell some sales will hurt us but if we reinvest the money well it won't hurt as much.
Don't get attached to any players every player we have is for sale if the price is right including auba, sad but true
Arteta clearly has no intention of using him unless he shows a completetly different attitude (unlikely) - You think he will be happy to spend another year of his career not playing football?
Ornstein is saying with next to no budget available Arteta will be looking at Sales and player swaps this Summer - so we may see the Spaniard being more ruthless than we are used to.
Here's what I would look to do in that case..
Sell....
Mkhitarian
Elneny
Sokratis
Chambers
Mustafi
Ozil - he has to go to facilitate the wages needed to re-sign Aubameyang.
Personally I would keep Lacazette - He has real quality just needs more consistency.
Guendouzi - swap deal with Coutinho. Be a shame to loose the Frenchman but Coutinho would give us the offensive creativity we currently lack.
Gabriel Margalaes - much as I would like us to sign Upamecano I think he's out of our price range. Gabriel would be an excellent signing - he's 6'4 and has a great range of passing. £30m
Hassim Aouar - one year left on his deal still only 21. Would be a great signing especially if we dont resign Ceballos.
Mario Goetze or David Silva. Both are out of contract - Goetze is still only 27 - worth a second chance? David Silva worth a one year deal surely?
Would love Partey but think thats unlikley unless Lacazette goes the other way.
