Take the £9m and run. It's Marseille, how much could they realistically pay anyway?

Get this over it. Otherwise, before you know it, he'll be back at the club, not registered for the squad and eating up £2.5m in wages.

Agreed

[theHotHead]

Be an unpopular take on here but,
I agree with Arteta in a way, good prospect that lost his way and was too big for his boots to take a step back, I dislike how he throws himself to the ground with every single touch looking for free kicks, much rather a player be strong and fight but the latter is rare in Arsenal today.
His rants about wage to other players shows a youngster who lost his way, Arteta probably thought he couldn't work with him, but as time has gone by it looks like Arteta is him self struggling.
But I dislike more of Dozy than I like.

Its a fair take but I think it lacks a little bit of balance. Nothing you listed is terminal, nothing is that big of a deal that it can't be fixed, he is still very young!!

It should be possible to mould him, under the right manager. I don't think the tough approach will work because he is a hot head, doesn't mean you have to discard him, he is a decent player that could become a very good player. I dont think he is a bad apple like Ravel Morrison who isn't really interested in football, I also don't think he is as stroppy as Jonjo Shelvey - and he came good in the end.

It shouldn't be hard to find what works, its what being a manager of people is all about, its horses for courses, not one size fits all.

No!! You don't make a bad decision to follow a previously bad decision.

Selling him for anything less than £20m would be terrible business!!

[Jedi]

Bring him home.

[Nuggets]

With a good manager, this guy could be an asset, but sadly we don't have a good manager.

[Santi]

For that price easily keep him and find a way to get him back on board.

[Angelito]

Don't care what we get for him, offload him. I really like the lad but we know how this movie ends.

I don't want Arteta to be insinuating how Guendouzi is the reason behind our poor form, as he did a few weeks ago with Ozil and co.

End this drama. There's been too much of that since Pep joined Arsenal.

He is not worth £20m because he hasn't performed like a Willock or even AMN. Unless Uncle Unai wants to splash some of that Champions League money on him, it'll be like squeezing blood from a stone.

Well then don't sell him. He has proved he can do a decent job in the Prem, keep him, play him and increase his value, then sell him. Giving him away for a pittance makes no sense

He’ll always find a bogeyman. A bad carpenter blames his tools.

Keeping bang average players in the hope they improve on contracts running down on a very high salary? how could that possibly go wrong?

[theHotHead]

EK, he has shown himself to be a useful enough asset. I would rather keep Guendouzi and give him a go than Xhaka, Elneny and Ceballos. He wasn't a bad player at all.

At 22 he's nowhere near his peak. Yet he has all the tools to be a combative box to box midfielder. We brought in a manager who was supposed to work wonders with raw talent. Turns out he can only work with a finished KdB, Aguero or Sterling.
