One more year on 9.5m then at 30 on a free transfer he will go and negotiate his final big payday somewhere sunny ... Arsenal will have filled his bank balance nicely for five years and got less and less in return for their 100m investment ... can't blame the player, he saw a opportunity to mug us off and he grabbed it. Once again total incompetence from the senior management, nothing new there.
If we can sell then we must, but who will want to pay 9.5m salary and a transfer fee for a player who will be 'free' in 12 months.
