Re: Rosický off?

Let's hope this doesn't happen. Like it or not, the club with the most squad depth tends to do far better in the business end of the season. If Wenger is going to sign a direct replacement like Elano or Honda, then all would be well.

Turkish media reporting it. I heard they offered 5m but Wenger wants more. I wouldnt mind swapping him with Elano.

That's a nice wish, but I bet Galata won't not swap one of the best Brazil performers at WC with a proven injury crook.

Ok, rosicky didn't have a great season but to imply he's a criminal seems harsh...

Re: Rosický off?

How many top class midfielders has rosicky stopped us from getting since he came here, I can name ribery of the top of my head.

Would be ironic if he left and we don't get a replacement.

He's a good squad player when fit, wouldn't mind either way. Stay or go, I can see positives from both.

AW will let him go if he gets a reasonable price - Ramsey will replace him.

Re: Rosický off?

I'd rather he stay. He has looked bright in pre-season and 2009/10 was his 1st full campaign back after a lengthy spell out. I'm willing to keep him as I think we need the strength in depth at squad level and he has been more positive in contribution than others who have maintained positions in the team. He needs to work on his finishing again, but overall he is approaching the level we would like from him after so long out.

As for restricting the chances of Jack et al, they need to work to ensure that they marginalise Rosicky on merit. At the moment, Rosicky is still a more consistent performer than Nasri, Diaby, Denilson and Eboue who have all been used in the central 3. I don't think Rosicky is effective in a front 3 any more though that can change, but he offers a more disciplined and eager defensive presence in CM compared to the others. Suggestions of swapping for Elano are far fetched as if Rosicky were to go, I would rather have a dedicated CM with some defensive discipline than another attacking midfielder.

All in all I'm willing to give him a chance much as people gave with Eduardo after so long out. Obviously the circumstances were far more brutal in the latter's case, but both put in the effort to make the come back and deserve some slack. Eddie's now gone to pasture's new but Rosicky can still contribute and let's hope he can extend his good form from pre-season into this coming campaign. With so much change and uncertainty in the squad this season, it would be unwise to dispense with one of our more experienced heads IMO.

Replace him - yes (pref with a winger)
sell him and get no one in return - no thanks.
Rosicky can still offer a lot to the squad

Wilshere has taken over his spot. I cant see Thomas ahead of him. It would be nice if we use some of the money for a new DM. Frimpong is nowhere near ready. We already have AM's in abundance.

Senior player

Won't be replaced if sold (money in bank is useless to me)

Has a season under his belt, after being a year away from the competition

Good/close friend to Cesc

Versatile/Squad Depth

He looks extremely fit this pre-season and much more mobile and an extra bounce to his step compared to last season

= he is staying

Re: Rosický off?

If we let him go, then what was the point in renewing his contract in the first place? I'd rather he stayed.

Can't understand why so many are keen on selling him. It's one thing if we knew Özil (guess Hazard isn't flavour of the month anymore?) was coming in but we don't. There is no point losing a senior player who gives us much needed depth up going forward. He had a poor first year after two years out, but now has a full season and a promising pre-season behind him. We gain nothing by selling and lose potentialy a lot.

5-10 million sitting in the bank = a fkn crock. may as well keep cesc happy and have Rosicky at least on plane rides and in the locker room, whether he is fit or not.
