Selling ESR would fit in well with releasing 50 employees during a pandemic and the Gunnersaurus debacle. Kid has been the best player since he came into the team. He's been at the club since he was nine. Under Wenger there would be zero chance of this happening, but these days I'm not so sure.

I despise the Telegraph.
However John Percy is the most reliable Villa journalist around. He doesn't report on stuff if there's nothing in it

But Özil was the bad in the movie they said

If we sell Emile it'll be a sad day, but it'd be the first player we've made a profit on for some years.

When you say some years, I take it you mean 1?

Thanks for reminding me, how could I forget Emi.
The irony is, of all the money we’ve lost on players, Emi and Emile are two players that should be in the squad.

Aside from his last season in charge Arsène was pretty poor at getting fee's for players. One of the issues was he would rather let contracts run down than sell with say 2 years left. Not sure why, maybe a stubborn thing. That in itself takes a long, long time to sort out.
We also sold Iwobi in 18/19, not so long ago.

Maybe because the last regime put so many bums on massive contracts they're impossible to shift? You ever thought about it like that?

Propagandaspray gaslighting like crazy...spewing posts all over the place... blaming everyone but the people in charge now. Typical idiocy to blame Emi being more saleable than Leno on previous regime. Total Gaslighting.

Essays are my thing
My implication being there may be something in it from villa's side, but not from anywhere slse

Can you please just reply properly for once? Is that too much to ask. When you have guys like Mustafi, Kolasinac, Özil, Bellerin, Xhaka, Lacazette etc etc on such stupidly high wages they will be almost impossible to shift for good fees later down the line. Most of the players we shifted or are trying to shift are from previous regimes, hence why the youngsters are much easier to sell for top dollar.
@Makingtrax Alexis, Ramsey, RVP etc. These guys could've given the club around £150M to rebuild if sold at the correct times, in the end we got £21M for the 3.

Sealioning - Wikipedia.
Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".[5] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki.[6]

You're so incredibly rude and obnoxious. I think everyone has now seen you cannot have a footballing conversation on here.

But like I've said, everyone knows these days that transfers aren't just blind bids by teams. Teams will have sounded out clubs/players/agents etc
So I doubt it would be a case of something from Villa's side and nothing from Arsenal. I guess it's possible though

I think one of the major issues over the past decade or so when it comes to recouping decent transfer fees for players has been how awful we've been at contract management.
We've pretty frequently ended up in a situation where key players have reached the point of running down their contracts to a year left or less, and then we wonder why we're not getting decent fees for them. It's been shambolic at times.
All that said, I'm not in the slightest worried about ESR's situation. It's posturing and exploiting the Villa interest in him from his camp. I can't blame them either. I've no doubt ESR will sign a new long term contract with us in the not too distant future though.
