So much deadwood leaving us in the next two years. Can't wait to see what new deadwood we sign.
Good news imo. Clear the decks for the new manager coming next summer or the one after, who can build the squad he wants.
We are in so much trouble it's actually difficult to know where to start. But I can't help but feel that list for 2018 is the elephant in the room and Wengers name isn't on it.

It's good news if a new manager gets to rebuild next summer. If Wenger's the one doing the rebuilding it's very bad news.

I'm sure he would but at the rate we are losing players and getting nothing back I'm sure whoever in charge would rather clear the decks for fees to reinvest. Two years from now we won't have a keeper. Guys like Xhaka, Elneny, Koscielny, Coquelin will be in the last year or two of their deals and will need new deals or shifted on or replaced.
Whoever is brought in will have the biggest of rebuilding jobs on their hands with not much to spend and not much left to sell.

you'd take the good players on that list leaving to get the **** ones gone.
even the decent ones like giroud/nacho will be well into their thirties so will need replacing by then anyway

Whoever has allowed this to happen sure is lucky Kroenke is the owner. If it was anyone who knew how football operates would realise we are letting go of huge assets in Özil, Sanchez and Ox, thats 100mil minimum in todays market.
I honestly wonder if Kroenke is completely oblivious to football, I wonder if anyone has sat him down and explained we wont be getting any swapsies or improved draft picks, surely he must know we are literally letting go of 100mil+ and will have to spend to replace, he's a business man surely that gets his attention..?
Or is he just that uninterested?

A lot of those guys are on big wages though, getting them off the books will be a relief.

getting them off the books means running out their contracts.

Hopefully we'll see a radical overhaul of our archaic wage system. The contract situation does have one or two potential upsides.

Over £2m for Gazzo - - - -over £8m for a manager, £660k for Friar.
You'd think so but we want a decent return for poverty like Jenks and Gibbs and surprise,neither has permanently transferred out of here yet

I think I calculated 64m or so in wages freed up with all the contracts up in the next two years. It's a lot but selling Ox and Ramsey now dwarf that and you still free up the wages. That's before looking at moving Alexis and Özil plus fees already gained.
Ramsey, Cech, Welbeck, Monreal and Walcott are the priority since their deals expire in 2019. Fresh talks with Alexis and Özil coming as well.
Good to see a little protectiveness from the club but everyone of those 2019 players is getting either above market value for their respective talents or has passed the 30/31 mark. Not really arsed what the future holds for them.

Jesus we can't be giving Theo a new deal
It says in that article that we probably won't increase our offer of £280,000 a week to Alexis and Özil. How about we don't give Walcott a new contract and give his £140k salary to Alexis and Özil?
This club seriously needs to get its ****ing priorities right when it comes to player contracts.
