HAHAHAHA,we as fans never learn!
We donāt buy until we sell, is the same shit idea as we donāt buy because we donāt want to disturb the young playersā developmentā¦ 
So i read this is done for 10m.
Coquelin isnāt a great player but is miles away better and useful than Iwobi, Walcott, Elneny, Chambers, Mertesacker and Debuchy. He should be the last to see the exit door.

Well. Mertesacker & Debuchy are currently on borrowed time. Walcott is probably harder to get rid off, but he will be gone soon hopefully.
Anyone who has value on our team, that someone wants to buy, should be out the door. I want 11 guys scouted by Mislintat starting our matches and 14 more of them in the bench. The club needs an overhaul.

Itās shocking why Arsenal spent 10M for a normal player as Elneny. He is a good player but not for Arsenal. We wasted a lot of money in the recent years and the egyptian is an example.
You donāt have too tell me that 
. I thought his fee was closer too 5-7 million pounds.
Btw. I donāt think Elneny is completely useless. One or the other on the bench doesnāt really matter. It would be about what we start imo.

I disagree, heās perfectly fine as a squad player. Doesnāt make dumb mistakes, has a good enough engine ect. Elneny is the least of our problems. Spending 35m on Xhaka and 50m on Lacazette is pretty bad though. Especially if Laca turns out to be like a 12 - 15 goals per season striker. I know everyone hates it but Theo could be producing that at CF.

Chamakh, Bendtner, Gervinho, Podolski, Theo all could get 12 - 15 goals per seasons as full time starting striker, but I would give Laca more time to prove his value.

I agree first year is tough in the PL and we are a bad team. Weāll see. Xhaka is the biggest sin for me though he is just so badā¦watching the genius that is Cazorla and then having to watch Xhaka week in week out is painful.

Really? It would awesome!
Wenger is a strange manager. Heās doing summer departures in the January window.

I donāt know what currency you are using here, but I heard he was Ā£5m, which is absolutey nothing. It was a nothing amount 10 years ago.
Odd that youād focus on how big a waste a player who cost Ā£5m was when in the same position we have Xhaka who cost 7 times as much at Ā£35m lol.
Iāve got no problem with Elneny at all, I donāt know how you could want much more from such a cheap squad player.

So i guess we need some replacements.
This is a step up for Coquelin. He will be playing Champions League football next seasonā¦

Coquelin genuinely is a player we could cut from the squad with no net loss whatsoever or need to replace. Maitland-Nilesā recent development is probably the main factor in Wenger moving him on, I have no problem with this. Heās slightly emblematic as well of the 2nd half Wenger era and thus a good one to ship out, but not as much as someone like Walcott.
I actually like Coquelin. I liked the job he did for us years ago as a right back, i liked him as a ādonāt cross the half way line everā kind of DM but if we arenāt going to use him for either of these roles, heās basically just an ordinary midfielder so heās really no loss to Arsenal right now.
