Could really boost our coffers.
Good job from raul.I think from the translation it suggests we won’t let him go on the cheap. The alternative is extending him and loaning him out.
Absolutely. Let's keep him in our ranks and give him short PL cameos when we are already winning by a few in home games and also give him all FA and Carling cup games. If he doesn't impress in that season or show potential you can ship him out.Don't like that at all. Could be our most ready-made player coming up from our own ranks.
We'll regret this.

Completely agree. He may not have a top flight season under his belt, but he did good in the Championship and had a full season there. More than you can say about e.g. Mavropanos or youth team players. On top of that he had a good U21 tournament. Don't get why people want the talent groomed and under contract at the club shipped out for pennies and then go out and splash sums like 30m on exterior talent with just slighlty more top flight experience, especially in light of a tight budget.
I mean, it's nice to get Saliba, but then let's take a look at the options already at the club not yet tested. Bielik could easily be used to take 4th CB spot while shipping out Mustafi, Chambers and maybe Koscielny and making money off of them while buying Saliba and another CB on top of that.
It also doesn't really shine a good light on Arsenal when players are brought in as teenagers, come up through the youth teams, have good loans but then never get a chance in the first team and are sold off for smallish fees. It may be a way to make money when you're Real Madrid with a massive youth academy and you're able to bring in young players for big money and then sell them on for bigger money, but for Arsenal the model should be actually try and develop players. Especially in terms of squad and rotation players this is the route to go for financially restrained clubs: Use the transfer budget for exterior talent and top class players, fill the squad ranks with solid players having come up through the ranks instead of spending smallish but eventually gnawing fees ~ 10m on guys like Elneny. Not every player coming through the ranks has to be a top talent or end up worldclass to have a function in the first team and value for the club. If you can save 30m on three role/squad player positions because you brought up solid players yourself, that's as useful as having brought one top class talent through and goes a long way to form a coherent squad and save money.
If the manager doesn't have a plan for him, as I suspect will also be the case with most of our other young players, Arsenal needs to stop messing him around with this extend then loan bollocks. He needs to move on and progress his career if he has higher ambitions than being a Chambers level player. In the process we should be getting 10mil+ for him which is big by our standards.

He already confirmed in an interview he has two left including this upcoming season I think.I’m sure he’s only got one year left? Didn’t know we had him for two!?
It was pretty much going to be the case with almost any established manager we brought in tbh. The thing is while it made sense when we needed to get back in top four ASAP while our players were supposed to be in their prime, but now the moment has passed so it's up to to the management to set the policy for the coach to follow.Are you surprised? Emery's job is on the line, if he doesn't do well he won't get that third year extension.
Just like Wenger towards the end, he'll turn to his senior players.
