Now brace yourself for a convoluted explanation from one Alfred Mutua, ah, sorry, @TAZ. The selling club just became a 'sold' club.
Wenger has to start paying his star players 'grownup salaries' and winning an odd trophy here and there or be stuck with babies for ever. And even his judgement is highly questionable. Letting
underpaid players run down their contracts to the final year is such a rookie mistake. Arsenal are set to receive only £7m for Gael Clichy from the Man City billionaires who normally pay obscene amounts for players and all this in an overheated market where even untested 19 year olds are being quoted at £40m. Genius my [left] foot!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
