Shkodran Mustafi (Out)

[Nyctophobia]

Okay, but how much will this cost us?

 

[neimad]

I'd actually be happier if we sold this guy than any signings we'd make. You'd wonder what we'd get for him.

15m possibly?

 

[Jury]

He was always sh!t from day one. Never had faith in him. Meat grinder fodder.

 

[TheEconomist]

I'm looking forward to seeing where Mustafi ends up, just so we can guage how far out of his depth he was here

Its that bit in brackets that'll be the problem. We cant expect to get much more than £15m if we really want him gone, £20m max.

 

[African Flair]

I would say £15m is a pretty steep price for the guy tbo. Just take whatever, addition by subtraction.

 

[OnlyOne]

It’ll be so awkward when this guy leaves.

 

[yybecause]

with the news of extending or selling players with 2 years on the contract even the last chance of him staying are gone.
am so glad we only need an upgrade on him, and not 2 more cb's or a complete overhaul

We only need to sign 1 top class CB, that will be enough with Sokratis, Kos, Holding & Mavro. I know some want to get shot of Kos but I think its good to keep him, he's done really well and only has a year left, plus he is good to have around the other players.

I think Kosc will have a superb next season. In order for ttha to happen that one class CB is a must, but there is no doubt we'll get one. We can just hope it's not going to be a miss

 

[Garrincha]

We should retire his shirt number.

Not in the Totti way more like when you knock down a serial killers house.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Just glad that Gazidis is not here anymore. He would have put him on 140k, 5 year contract in February.

Gotta protect his value like he did with El-Neny

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Still expect him to carve out a very decent career, but it won't be here. Change of scenery will do him good, me thinks.

Thinking the same. Seems like it wasn't meant to work out at Arsenal and that a top club is a bit too high up for him. But fully expect him to become a solid defender for a club one or two steps below, just like Gabriel came good at Valencia again.

Yep, I reckon he will have a season or two where he is rated well at another club, might even be towards the end of his career.

He's like a CB version of David James, there is a player in there somewhere but it will come out with age and maturity, it will click for him at some point I imagine but not at Arsenal.

Was gonna suggest he have a baby or something to focus him (he already has a daughter) which led me onto photos of his wife.. he's doing well in that department of his life

Vermaelen mark 2 for me plus some brain farts moments. If he doesnt have Vermaelen's injury problems he'll probably be a good defender in his late 20's - early 30s.

(Vermaelen and Mustafi always try to win the ball instead of holding up the attacker and when they **** it up it usually leads to a 1v1)

Apparently Mustafi was a massive panic buy by Wenger back then with high fee and wages. Arsenal have been looking for someone to buy him for more than a year now, but no one is willing to offer a fee which wouldn't make it a total disaster and let Arsenal recoup at least some value (e.g. like buying him for 40 and then selling him for e.g. 10). His wages are a problem, too. Arsenal want him gone since before Wenger left but no one wants him 'cause all in all he's too expensive for what he is.
