From what I've seen, we lost him because of the management - Szczesny refused to return if Wenger signed a contract extension that summer, apparently they were on bad terms.Such unbelievable mismanagement.
We keep the players we loan out who have bad loan spells until their value is nothing (Campbell, Jenkinson) but sell the one for peanuts that get better while away (Szczesny, Gnabry).
The £10M was crazy tho, after the seasons he had at Roma his value was far, far higher and now we'll need to spend three times that to find anyone close to the level we need.
