When I think of the hair that’s played for us in the past (Pires, Arteta etc.) and then compare it to that, it’s almost unbearable 
Think about chamakh and senderos and you’ll feel a bit better

How would people feel about him moving on?
Shocked. Class player with class attitude.

Would be best for all parities.
I’d like to see us sell him and raid Norwich for Max Aarons, Buendía too whilst we’re at it.

Didn’t really watch a lot of him this/last season to be critically fair but felt very let down whenener I did.
Was tough for him in his first season in the PL in a Norwich team that started well but the wheels soon came off and the manager was unable to stop it.
Talent is there and he’d do well with better players around him, he wouldn’t need to come in day one either. He’d be understudy for a bit but ultimately he could take the spot. He’d be a very shrewd investment IMO.

Wants to be a mediocre midfielder that bad?

Jayden Bogle of Derby could be a cheaper alternative. He has been pretty solid.
In FM I bought Aarons to be Bellerin’s backup then one January a few years into the game Barca wanted Bellerin so I sold him to Barca for 60 odd million and promoted Aarons
In his first full season as first choice he got assists into the double figures we won the league for the first time and he got in the ToTS 
So yeah sign Aarons !

Best for all parties that he moves on.
Afterall how often do Football Manager greats never become great in the real world?
Football Manager is often always better than the real world tbf
True I want real world to have that feature where you re-load an old save

FM teams are the best.
In 2011(?) Lukaku and Yaya Sanogo were hitting bangers. James Rodriguez was firing. Yohan Mollo was basically Eden Hazard.
And Davide Santon was worth every penny of the 20-30 mill I spent on him.
Can fuck off forever after that penalty he gave away in Baku.
Academy football processing is so over hyped. How much money and coaching over the years to produce this level of player FFS.

Disappointed. One of my fave talents at the club.
Similar rumours for Guendo, who I also really like.
Hopefully Arteta and co. know what they’re doing…

How much should we be looking at getting for him? I’m thinking best case scenario is £15-20m, maybe with some clauses chucked in?
