They’ve done that with a few players this summer and been rejected so it seems they do it as a move out of desperation more than anything.
Makes sense with so many amateurs at the helm...

What a **** show.
But AM told me to be excited for this summer.
The fact that they have all rejected it is telling me that the contract wasn’t a pay rise.Just got flashbacks of that time we offered Mustafi a new contract and he rejected it.
Doesn't justify keeping him!!He’s better than everyone we’ve been linked to.
Best show ever made. They had sociology classes at prominent American universities strictly covering The Wire.I never watched this show, but everyone raves about it. Is it worth watching or it’s too old?
Arteta is getting rejected by Mustafi and Xhaka
The Wire, Sopranos and Breaking bad are the holy trinity for me. Must watch stuff.
Also offering him a new deal isn’t protecting any value. Next summer a 30 year old Xhaka on higher wages will be worth even less than he is now.
That's the thing, if we consider the level of player we are linked with as possible replacement, plus the lowballing of Roma, we are best off to just keep Xhaka and invest elsewhere.He’s better than everyone we’ve been linked to.
Partey-Xhaka, with Lokonga taking over Granit's spot, isn't the worst, tbh...also means we won't suffer too much when Thomas leaves in January.
Wonder if they don;t want to sign someone new and younger, that will "kill" Sambi? (to borrow a famous old phrase of ours)
The upside to this, is we can probably let go of Hector for a lower fee now, and focus on getting a top RB in.
Arteta still has his scapegoat if Xhaka stays sadly.Xhaka staying is one step closer to the end of Arteta.
How can anyone hate on this deal?
