That would be a disaster if it happens. The new board will lose any ounce of trust the fan base had for them. We are suffering from the last set of players we didnt make money on (Alexis, Ramsey, Özil). If this happens with another batch of players then we are gonna slide down the table and add a few more seasons onto the rebuild time.For me it’s highly likely the majority of Laca, Auba, Mustafi, Özil etc, all stay to become free agents.
My bet is 3/4 of them will probably start the first game of next season.
I would geniunely rather sell both Laca and Auba for decent money than let them stay and then leave for free. I just dont see the point in keeping them, its not like we are on the brink of winning something. We can make £60-80m for these two and rebuild the squad (if neither wanna sign on).
