Yeh I have to agree with this and tbf to the club we put that time into Iwobi and walked away with 40 million fucking pounds. The yoof that barely played for us getting 5million back in pockets is always a solid move in my book. The one that really stings me is Ramsey, even though I don’t rate him I reckon we could have hit pay dirt with him had we actually gotten our shit together.

I’m talking about the poor dealings of the last regime. Gnabry evidently had an abundance of talent and the fee the last regime got for him was beyond criminal.
Moving forward, the key to our future is how we manage our existing assets so we can’t have a repeat where 3 players we get rid of in the space of 2-3 years all end up being substantially more valuable.
You can’t get every youth player right but 3 in such a short space of time is indicative of some kind of pattern c

Personally I’m pissed with Campbell and Lucas Perez.
Campbell was at one point one of the most exciting young forwards around. He managed to look great for us when Wenger gave him chances too. If there were any internal concerns about him they should have cashed out sooner.
Perez should also have gone for more but I reckon his high wage demands played a factor.

I feel the club couldn’t do much with Gnabry. His mind was set. Wenger probably couldn’t guarantee him minutes.

He suddenly popped into my head and I was wondering where he’s at nowadays. He’s dropped down to Serie B. Never really happened for him did it, looks like those injuries a few years back really killed his career.

Crazy how many young players we’ve had who just never made it despite us all hoping they would.

This is why I don’t get hyped whenever we have a new wonder kid on the horizon.
I’ll get excited about Max Dowman once he gets some first team minutes.
