I'd take anything above 5 million to get our signing fee back. He isn't needed anymore and eventhough was free transfer, his wages are too much for a substitute player.
Kolasinac doesn't add anything to this team and if he has any sort of impact its an adverse one. Lets also not forget his wages, whats the point of giving 100k a week to a guy who's 3rd choice nowWouldn't spoil my season. Just be a shame to lose a very talented LWB who adds squad depth and could have a psotive impact to the team. Similar to when we lost the likes Of Edu and GVB who had better players starting ahead of them but were still good useful players.
I actually do think we'll continue with the back 3 for most of this season whilst Saliba and potentially new midfielders bed in.
But the system would mean playing Tierney at LCB all season because nobody in the squad can play that role going forward on the attack.
In cup games when you want to give Tierney a rest what do you do? In that sense its very important to keep AMN or Kolasinac.
I don`t think Kolasinac is that bad but to call him very talented is bizarre. Probably the least talemted player in the squad though some physical qualities stand out.Wouldn't spoil my season.

I'm not so sure. I think we will see the 3atb in the big games, as its proven to work really well in them, but I think in the smaller game we will need to be more offensive.
I think Cedric/Saka can cover LB, and Chambers can be an emergency RB. I think fullback cover should only be a concern once we sign Partey and Aouar, and when one of Ainsley/Bellerin go.
Yeah, I'm of the opinion you do whatever it takes to sign those two, so one will have probably have to go. In an ideal world though, we keep both, sell Kolasinac and find the money for Partey/Aouar elsewhere.
Agree re Cedric, Saka can cover LB as well, and Chambers can cover RB.
Kolasinac should be gone regardless, he isnt good enough for Arsenal end of.
Leverkusen has a lot of cash. Chelsea doing us a solidEither way Kola will need to take a paycut if he really want to back to Germany i think he'll take it

In an ideal world we would sign Messi on a free With Martinez & Torreira out we can get Partey or Aouar. To get both there really is only AMN or Bellerin + Guen to sell.
If this happens I'm throwing everyone here a partyThe former Schalke man would be available for €10m, and the figure is ‘relatively low’ because of his high salary. The 27-year-old earns €9m per season, and Bayer Leverkusen could lower his salary by offering a longer contract and including bonuses.
In an ideal world the Kroenke's would invest some money into the club!
But yeah it do think we'll probably need another substantial sale, as well as clearing a load of NHG players, to get Aouar and Partey. I think at this stage its probably looking like AMN will be sacrificed, which is unfortunate.

Even if Kroenke said here's £90M get those two midfielders it would be completely pointless if we can't sell NHG's.
We will get shot of Torreira, Sokratis & Kola. The latter 2 can go on a free if necessary. Guen will hopefully go too. All NHG's.
If we bring in the Icelandic keeper and want to sign two midfielders we need to get rid of 4 NHG's. Guendouzi doesn't count as a NHG until next year.
Oh yeah due to age. We can't sell Mustafi while injured so the 4 would have to be Torreira, Kola, Sok, Bellerin, if we are to get both Partey & Aouar.
